This is 1 feature I have been wanting for many years, and I think it will revolutionize the game in so many ways. Seeing agility spots hit boxes, helping with clues and quests, and even the potential for whole new game modes (tileman, brozeman, etc.). I know all anyone wants to talk about right now is ReIgnited, but plugins are going to be such a gamechanger!

Since reignited's cancellation I'm seeing an annoying trend of tone-deaf posts encouraging new players to just try the game, or that we should advertise more or come up with some other idea to attract new users. Reignited WAS the idea to attract new players, and a few days ago this community was collectively threatening to quit unless the idea got completely canned. Most people were not even interested in giving any concessions and to them a full cancellation was the only acceptable outcome.

Like it or not, reignited was the strongest advertising campaign Jagex has released in the last decade. I saw people in circles that I've never seen mention RS3 talking about the game and expressing interest. You can't murder that idea in its crib then turn around and be shocked that there's no lineup of new players waiting to join the game. The choice was made, the invitation to new players was withdrawn over concerns that veteran players might get sidelined in some hypothetical doomsday scenario 5-10 years from now. Most of the people who were planning to start new accounts now revile this community for being toxic and unwelcoming.

I think this is a great way to bandage your hemoriging playerbase. RS3 is bleeding players prefusely. It looks absolutely dead in it's current state I'm sorry to say guys. While OSRS is climbing in playerbase pretty steadily atm. Jagex could sort of leech a playerbase by allowing us to play both games at the same time.

I know that this won't necessarily result in more money to Jagex, but it'll make the game seem less dead and you can intice players by advertising that the game is seeing a peak amount of players in years, and that might bring in more money to the game.

I for one would play my RS3 account while training on my OSRS account, I know many others would aswell. People suggest it's impossible to code or whatever, I'm sure the Jagex team could do it. Honestly, at this point you could probably feed the idea to an AI and it would be able to do it.

Who know a quest from 2001 would hold relevance.

It's now been 9 years since the last major F2P content expansion. With the amount of content that has come into the game since then, I'd say it's about time to expand the amount of content available to F2P, offering a big advertisement opportunity and giving more players an excuse to try out the game.

I personally think it is about time that F2P gain access to Kandarin, completing the trifecta of the three "main" human kingdoms, and filling in a bunch of the holes in F2P's ability to play quests in timeline order.

So I am an OSRS player who has tried to get into RS3 multiple times, the problems i ran into were the mtx shop and the combat system being confusing. (This is from somebody who played a lot of Ocarina of time and would just spam B on all the enemies) and i saw in the quest list the quest "One Piercing Note" and heard that one was infamous because it was fully voice acted. so i gave it a try... and I loved it. i found the story engaging and the conflict enticing. my only complaint was that there were barely any people there (Granted i was on a Free world as i don't have membs yet, i'm saving that for WoW Forever.) and the fact that when i logged in the game gave me free xp lamps and those star thingies. so I kept hearing from over in the OSRS Community that RS3 was horrible and borderline unplayable, but they were wrong, i was wrong. sure it's not like OSRS where half of the game is just AFK-ing while you mine gem crabs. RS3 is more involved than OSRS. (At least as far as i've seen)

As a osrs player my biggest gripe with rs3 is I have to stop my grind on one to play the other and we all hate to waste XP. If you want your game to grow don’t continue to penalize your potential player base. 4 years ago membership was $80 USD and a second or 3rd account with members was manageable, now it’s $132 a year, its time for a change. At this current hour 90,062 players are online RuneScape 76,2329 of which are on Old School. Maybe it’s time you looked into allowing us to play both games as advertised but at the same time. With the migration of all legacy accounts moving to a Jagex account why not implement a membership for the Jagex account itself at the current yearly rate and then a separate premium price for each additional “character slot” per year at an additional $20-$30 per year per character. This would bring in additional revenue for the company while satisfying the need for multiple accounts to play both games, additional game modes, and seasonal events. I’d love to play both games but unfortunately for myself and many others rs3 is an XP waste and we shouldn’t have to sacrifice our enjoyment of old school to play rs3.

It's over, I wanna see stuff that isn't just essays from people who think they've some ground breaking thought on the matter 😭

Seeing what happened with Reignited, this surely isn't a new thought, but why can't RS3 have something closer to the OSRS approach when it comes to major changes to the game?

Not necessarily polling every update or letting players design the game by committee, but giving the community a meaningful vote or feedback stage before Jagex commits heavily to major changes.

OSRS seems like a pretty strong example that this kind of relationship with the playerbase can work. The game is thriving, and while polling obviously isn't the only reason for that, players having a real say in major changes probably helps create trust and keeps development aligned with what the community actually wants.

Sure, that takes away some of the surprise. But surprises also carry the risk of turning into disasters, and RuneScape's history has given us a few examples of that already.

From Jagex's perspective, it could also prevent a lot of time and money being poured into features that the playerbase might not actually want.

There's a pretty basic principle from agile software development that applies here: get feedback from your customer as early as possible, especially while you're building something significant. Don't spend months developing behind a curtain, reveal the finished idea, and only then discover that your users fundamentally don't want it.

Reignited feels like a pretty good example of what happens when that feedback loop comes far too late.

I don't even alt-Scape like that, but I've started a lot of different accounts over the last 25 years, and thus I've been sitting at a full 20/20 for a while. I was starting to worry that I wouldn't have space to make a new character if a new mode might arise in the future.

Thank you Jagex for listening!

Inspired by mod Ryans call to shout out the good, full time lurker had to make an account and post.

I haven't really seen a thread fully giving flowers to I believe team that worked on the knights. The growth and evolution of the team starting with Sanctum has been continued and is noticed. With all the recent talks about reignited and what makes RS3 fun, I think the ALL GAS NO BRAKES PvM is a true niche that it's beginning to fulfil with its combat system.

This release I've seen even the highest level of PvMers yak brewing it up to then no fooding 2k GBKs. The boss fight itself is nonstop action and challenges you to get good. I'd gauge myself as a B+ on the level of PvM with most master and half GM challenges done and doing this release has noticeably made me improve. I've noticed this impact for the rest of RS as well chilling FC's, I think everyone whose done the Knights skill floor has improved. My duo whose more casual going from yak brew to learning SS flicks and other improvements I've noticed passively. It's been fun to see its impact on the community and friends made from group content.

Just wanted to say thanks again to the team for a really fun ALL GAS NO BRAKES fight and my vote is for this trend to continue.

(Sorry if I cooked any formal reddit things, I'm a reddit noob)

Buying xp in an MMO is bad for the game and bad for new player interest. Remove them

I've found that for some reason, many people are unaware of the existence of the repair all option on the pedestal at the center of the ritual site.

Every time I am there, I try to spread awareness to keep people from wasting a ton of time repairing individual glyphs and light sources. Hopefully this post helps someone that wasn't aware.

This is 2/4 of the combat styles videos I'm doing. Which should I make next, Ranged or Mage?

are we any closer to this being a reality? regardless of what side you stand on reignited not being able to even seperate my osrs iron from my rs3 iron is such a pain as i genuinely enjoy both but refuse to start over. i’m sure there are plenty of people in similar boats and instead of having to pick our game being able to play both even at a small price increase is something i’d do lol.

Think I have ~8-10k hours in osrs. Every time I think of a trying a new way to play it’s always between a new type of Ironman or try rs3. I think reignited was weird because like most people, I feel like majority of new accounts would be reignited and eventually number of veteran players would die out, but the thought of a fresh start felt appealing.

Why can’t we have fresh start worlds that eventually merge with the main game? Let them run for something between 3 months and 1 year (idk how fast your average player is gonna progress in rs3) then after that the fresh start worlds become normal worlds.

No special badge, no weird 2 separate games in one game thing, let people try the game fresh and get a fun new player experience.

I am a osrs player that was excited for reignited. It may have been scrapped but im still interested in giving rs3 another shot. Looking for a clan(if that is a thing?) Or just some friendly people to chat with that could mabey give some pointers. User is iRumcake!

This is a tiny mostly insignificant ask, but if a J-Mod happens to see this and has a moment, could you please add the Fenmoor/Goblin Village Bloodwood tree to the skillguide?

Not sure if there is anything else like this added to Havenhythe missing from the skillguide anywhere.

Seriously, Linux gaming is on the rise. An advertised native linux launcher for runescape can be a genuine point of entry and marketing for linux nerds. These tend to be people that tinker around and have patience. This is a prime audience.

Essentially, it could feel like a new thing. Currently, bolt launcher works and osrs guys have runelite. But rs3 bros need to use steam to launch runescape 3. It's okay but it isnt perfect.

Make it native. Add it to the discover store, as a flatpak, as an app image etc etc. Make it easily accessible so that when someone new opens something with kde plasma or gnome or cinammon or whatever can hit games and see "oh look runescape!"

Initially, I only planned to achieve the normal quest cape. But then the goal kept shifting to max, getting most of the BiS necro gear, comp cape and then finally the MQC which I achieved today!

I added some screenshots of the more... "spicy" boss kills I have on this account. (yes it took me 500 HM vorkath kills to get LOB)

Now that I'm done with that I could of course grind out trimmed, but playing it safe is starting to get boring. Furthermore, deathtouched darts are going to be removed soon so I am taking this as a sign to do telos, which will very likely kill the account, but like I said playing it safe is getting boring!

Hey guys, I get so many YouTube, instagram, TikTok, and Facebook ads for old school RuneScape but they do zero ads for the main game. Just seems if you want to appeal to get new players they should do some advertising for RuneScape 3. I honestly think the only RuneScape game anyone knows about is old school RuneScape.

Have they nerfed the drop rates 2 days after release? I understand people getting 2min kills but this is just too much. Currently at 350kc without seeing a single drop from both me and my duo.

Edit: This post is to figure out any anomalies with the drop rate, and gather some data together. Im aware that higher enrage wields better drops, no need to tell me to 'just get good' this is not the purpose of the post.

Would it be an idea to possibly lower the amount of worlds that people play on / have a few be auto selected for newer accounts?

A lot of complaints that people have and wanted reignited for was the sense of community. The game is somewhat "dead" in the world compared to OSRS as it's too spread out on different worlds.

This would be nice for even veteran players I imagine, I atleast would like it.
