I've been thinking more and more lately that the game is better without the Grand Exchange. I think the GE might be necessary for the game not to die, but I really miss the old days. Playing pre-GE was basically the perfect form of ironman to me. I liked having the door open for player interaction and buying stuff if I really had to, but don't want that full convenience of the GE y'know.

I feel like the game would die if you couldn't just buy all your supplies in two minutes anytime you need to do something. Most of the playerbase is past the novelty and nostalgia of buying lobsters in falador

They actually tried something like that with a middle-ground solution back in 2014 as the trading post, where you could list items to sell but you'd still need to meet the other person to complete the trade. Effectively replacing the third-party trading sites that were growing in popularity at the time (e.g. Zybez exchange).
It didn't really work that well considering Jagex just replaced it with the GE after 2 months, but it shows that they were still trying to preserve that more social trading system in some form.
 
Group ironman has been a great compromise for me. Grand exchange does ruin the game IMO by causing players to not bother with a large amount of activities in game, instead you can just use one moneymaker to buy everything from other players instead and without even needing to interact with them. It's antisocial and encourages you to not engage with most of the game. I had very little experience of pre-GE RS, but needing to find and haggle with people sounds more engaging and leaves room to consider just gathering the thing yourself if you're having trouble finding traders or if you feel they're ripping you off.

With group ironman I kind of have that now, albeit with only 4 other people who are IRL mates. But we haggle, gather for eachother, we decide things like "Okay I'll train mining and smiting, you train wc and fletching, you train fishing and cooking, you can take my gems for crafting..." etc. so we all have access to high level shit relatively fast. It's made me enjoy the game again.

Is the game in a good place right now? I've had the itch lately but I let my sub run out a few months ago.

If you're on Runelite, there's a plugin called Bronzeman or something. Basically ironman but you can use GE to buy items that you've already obtained yourself iirc. I've never tried it but it sounds like it might be what you're looking for. It's kind of a self-imposed restriction but I think there are ways it "forces" you to stick to it.
 
Jagex Annouces new LTE game mode: Gridmaster

Seems simple enough, like leagues, you’ll start with fresh stats on a separate profile from main game and through completing tasks you’ll power up your character through various means such as obtaining previous league items (I’m gonna guess the Kandarin item from last leagues will have a place now that it’s actually useable), autocompleting quest chains and they even mention possibly growing your own twisted bush

It plays like bingo so you pick what you want to do but obviously completing a line is what gets you better game play rewards and points towards the cosmetics

Sounds fun but it's going to overlap on the second month of RS3's league. I wish it was pushed back a little further.

Decided to try an ironman character but first thing I see is the body type a or b faggotry and the pronoun selection, are private servers actually a better option? Most wow private servers seem to be either run by or polluted with trannys I cant imagine osrs is any different.

There's are 3 worth noting. /v/scape, 2004scape and 2009scape.
/v/scape is filled with autists more so than other servers but you can drop n bombs in chat and nobody cares. It has higher xp rate and infinite energy. Server is running 10+ years.
2004scape is open source recreation of 2004 runescape. The neat thing about vidya scape and 2004scape is that you can play them through browser window like the olden days.
2009scape is open source recreation of 2009 runescape. I like this one the best because its the most nostalgic version to me and has more content. You can even setup your own server very easily and play with bots.

I know this is a late reply, but the game is in such a fun state right now. Early-midgame all the way to late-mid is so chock full of content. There's new ways to train nearly every skill. Methods for every niche- afk, moderate attention, full attention, wrist breaker tick manip shit.. you name it.

Back when I was in mid game the options for pvm was only barrows or do Nightmare Zone until your stats are high enough to do late game content very poorly. Now there's stuff like royal titans and perilous moons for mid game money making. And Scurrius for early gamers. And late game content like coliseum and Doom and Yama.. it's all good stuff. Highly recommend.
 
I find it weird how OSRS is one of the few popular MMOs that have the world as an actual world with tons of interactive elements instead of a backdrop for you to hold W in to go to the next quest. That has always made OSRS more immersive to me despite the crap graphics. And to be honest, the crap graphics gives the game SOVL
 
So will anybody be playing the lazy dogshit fake league they're putting out? Gridman or whatever.
I might not have bothered but I do enjoy the idea of making my houses chapel look like the log-in screen.

No need for hostility my dude. yeah it’s not leagues but doesn’t mean we aren’t gonna end up getting a leagues next year. Grid mode is more so the community QA event (any game mode they do is actually secret QA testing) where Jagex can see if the community likes the idea of certain perks and how they can work something like that into main game, it’s also a hard test to implement Bingo into the main game for clans

And honestly GridLock looks like you’re gonna be WAAAAAAAAY more OP than regular leagues seeing that every task unlocks something really good
 
Brighter Shores probably won't make it one more year. Look at these tragic stats. It's a shame really, I was really hyped for it, the more "OSRS-styled" MMOs the better. However Gower just decided to fuck it up for no reason, like the game is absolutely soulless. I played it for a bit in pure cope, but even I had to drop it eventually after I realized it was pure crap. It feels like some shitty mobile game. Also socializing is impossible, in OSRS I like chatting with people while skilling. That's impossible here because the shitty room system prevents you from having any social fun. Why did he add this? This isn't 1998. Games CAN be open world without loading. That's the real problem with these "spiritual successors", they keep trying to make the game "different" and "original" but most people just want more of the same.

Tragic, but Gower very clearly caught lightning in a bottle with Runescape, and he was also retarded enough to sell his shares, too. He might've been able to work something out if his MMORPG didn't have the same room system as Habbo fucking Hotel considering Jagex was going all in on faggotry, but then Mod "Gas the Trannies" North took control of Jagex, and the brighter shores stopped looking so bright.

You're right about retards making their games "different" and "original" too. I mean, just look at Genfanad's irony poisoned devs (They called their MMO 'Generic Fantasy Adventure'), basically a clone of Runescape Classic that had a playerbase, but then the devs decided that they definitely needed to replace the combat of the game with a fucking card game. And then it almost immediately died.
 
I dont even think the grid system was the worst part of brighter shores. Fucking having to re lvl new skills in a every new zone is retarded and they didnt feel connected, let alone no trading / was single player for the most part.
