this is weird because people are simultaneously really into runescape but also always mad at jagex so maybe there will be an interest in this thing. but i think itll be hard to outperform a game that has about 25 years of development invested in it

normally i'm not on the angry gamer wave but modern runescape has very few of the qualities that made the original attractive

they released "old school runescape" and it's outperformed modern runescape ("evolution of combat") for 9 years now. it's about 5x more popular

but it's quite a grindy game so either way they're condemned

i enjoyed modern runescape for a while but all the interesting quests were locked behind grinding for too long. i dont really believe that people would be into osrs if not for nostalgia b/c modern runescape had a lot more qol features that made the game more bearable but at the end of the day because i'm not into grinding its just probably not the game for me
