Thunder Khopesh is back babyyyyyy, I love this weapon so much and was the sole reason i picked wilderness last leagues, gotta get minimum 91 construction to build a demon throne (crystal saw + +5 stew boost) which is the requirement to unlock the sword.

All the echo items are returning judging from this and the leaks, there's been some leaks and what have you but because this isn't a league it's also now pretty much confirmed that you will be getting all three of the gathering tools (One from cutting maples, the other from mining gold) and likely all three combat styles too. Also according to the actual leaks you'll be getting your first combat upgrade from killing Bryo.
Some fucker scraped the website and managed to figure out a bunch of tiles.

Also the easiest way to get to 99 con is just getting Golden God and throwing money at construction.
Still kinda wish that it was a league, even if being effectively omnipotent for a while sounds fun.

If they ever change the design of the website then i WILL riot this is so fucking peak man
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.
FACT
It made the game feel like a chore. The whole reason while leveling skills in OSRS is cool is because you see your character get stronger, it feels really satisfying. Throwing all that out of the window for no reason is stupid
 
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.

Man, I honestly had high hopes for this thing but I watched a few videos of gameplay and it basically just looks like some amalgam of OSRS/RS3 [sort of in-between the two] but with none of the good qualities of the former and all of the bad qualities. Minus microtransactions and pay-to-win mechanics, I guess - as far as I know, anyway.

RuneScape really was lightning in a bottle, wasn't it? Even when it comes to timing and the era it started in, it was perfectly positioned to take off like a fucking rocket. Even the graphic design was something, vibrant and colorful enough to catch your eye but low-poly enough that it didn't bring your fucking machine to its knees when you played it. I think I started around 2004 and since my computer was a total shitbox [Dell Dimension 2400, with a Pentium III if I recall right and 256MB of RAM] just about all I could play was old DOS games, flash games and RuneScape, some time around 2004 or so I found RS on Miniclip [or AddictingGames.com, not sure now] and I was instantly hooked.

It was honestly kind of a fucking phenomenon now that I think about it. When I was in 6th grade, legitimately almost everyone in my class either played RuneScape or had played before. A lot of times it was all anyone was talking about, I remember bragging about getting full mithril armor at one point and the other kids at the lunch table looked at me like I was a fucking wizard or something. I'll bet nobody working for Jamflex at that time had even the slightest clue it would take off the way it did, this obscure ass Java game from Britain catching on in the U.S and going gangbusters. Initially, it probably only became popular because you could basically play it on a potato but the gameplay loop, social aspects and economics of it kept dragging you back into it. The lack of social aspects in Brighter Shores is criminally retarded, how did Gower forget that? Most of my fondest memories of playing RS are the result of the social aspects - adding a girl I had a crush on from school onto my buddy list and giving her free stuff because I wanted her to go out with me, starting stupid ass little clans that lasted like two weeks, my friend and I luring his little brother into the wilderness and PKing him repeatedly, meeting random ass people at the Catherby lobster fishing spots. Hell, I've even kept in contact with some of the people I met through RS. I met a dude I still to this day basically consider my brother on the fucking official RS forums, we've kept in touch for almost twenty fucking years now, all thanks to RS.

I guess my overall point is, I'm not sure that anyone could do 'that' again, though I guess modern equivalents would be games like Fortnite, Minecraft or Rocket League where sheer accessibility plays a major role in their successes. But OSRS has a 'loyalty' that the others don't have, people can not even look at RS for a decade and end up going back again. I don't currently play the official RS, I think I quit right before the 'Evolution of Combat' though I kept up on the forums for a whole lot longer as I used them for text-based RP, but every now and then I'll get 'the itch' and fire up a private server like Runex [although I don't know if that server is even still up now] and get back into it for a few months. Mostly due to the EXP rates, I definitely don't have the spare time to build a new main and my old main got converted to RS3, which I have absolutely no interest in as it resembles an amalgam of WoW and League of Legends. They really had something special there and one of the most loyal player-bases that has ever existed and while it sounds like they've course-corrected to some extent now, they've tried so hard so many fucking times to piss it all away that it's almost impressive.

Anyway, I'm curious what the thoughts of Kiwis are on Sailing as a skill. The idea was very popular back in the day and always floated heavily on the official forums but I don't really see it having enough interesting content to make for an engaging skill, sort of like Construction which ended up being more or less a moneysink. The concept is cool and I don't really know what other directions they could go in for new skills, but there's only so much you can really add when all the bases are pretty much covered and do so without fucking up the game entirely. The main way I 'keep up' with the game now is this thread and the subreddits [burdensome and terrible as they may be] and the Redditoids swing like a pendulum between glazing Jamflex's ballsack with their tongue and sounding like they're going to go shoot up their office building, so I can't get a good read on the public sentiments around Sailing there.

Oh, and on the topic of private servers - apparently Jamflex is starting to take them down for 'copyright infringement', RuneWild was apparently a really popular one that's already been shut down due to legal threats. Jamflex might be course-correcting to some extent [taking out tranny/faggot bullshit, trying to improve the mid-game, etc.] but that's still pretty fucking gay in my opinion.

I'm really feeling a big drop is gonna come my way once I get back to playing again. It always happens.

However, I am predisposed with IRL stuff and Legion Remix in wow. So once I unlock everything I want there, I can finally return to my scape grinds. I'm halfway done with an arraxor task (extended), I need magic fang still, DS2, 3 synapses still, 2 or 3 more zenytes, then finally gotta grind out CoX and ToA.
 
You chop teaks because they're the fastest exp with tick manipulation.

I chop teaks because there are furry pedophiles role-playing at maples again.

We are not the same.

Every. Fucking. Time.
So will anybody be playing the lazy dogshit fake league they're putting out? Gridman or whatever.
Grid man was a really good time and I recommend it. You become stupid powerful stupid fast. I can't say I like the wearable cosmetics, but I love the idea of the login portal in my house. One of the nice things about it is that you can't really mess it up like you can leagues. Since you get everything ultimately, you're really just choosing which skills go together to quickly reach other goals.

Jagex has stated that they've been trying to fight chat spam more. Have you guys seen any improvements? Personally I keep all popular spam areas muted with area mute, I've tried spam plugins and regex filters and this has been my best solution. I wouldn't mind turning it off if the GE isn't as bad as it used to be.

I played Gridmaster anyway, and while Hallowed Sepulchre Floor 5 is a cunt with high latency on a trackpad, I got there in the end.
 
Post your favourite track  excluding those unlocked in Misthalin or Asgarnia.


For me it's a close one between this, Horizon and Volcanic Vikings. I like to hunt in Piscatoris sometimes just because it's so nice.

You know, I feel like picking Baroque is a bit cheaty because I think everyone who was younger when they first started playing has an overwhelming amount of memories about FINALLY reaching Ardy for the first time and finally feeling like you were a REAL member, with the stupid fuckin zoo and the market stalls to steal from.

So instead, I'll go with Norse Code, and its encoded Morse Code message "Runescape":

Also, am I the only one who feels like the music for Canifis feels totally out of place and that it should be in Fremmy?
Oh fuck I forgot Xenophobe

Mine is usually a bitch and a half to find and link because the track is literally titled "Theme." Try to search for it on title alone and you instead get the login music. Anyways, it plays at the Coal Trucks and Waterfall Dungeon.

That was Horizon for me, finally getting passed that gate in to Taverley and learning herblore.

It does...I'll never unhear that now. If we're talking Morytania, Shadowland is a great one.

RS2 had a track called The Columbarium that came out with Legacy of Seergaze (RS2 and 3's fourth Myreque quest) in 2008, I really liked that one back then. It unlocked in a secret room in Paterdomus where you could cremate vyrewatch corpses.

I like it. Don't think I've even unlocked that yet, who goes to coal trucks any more? It's sandwiched right between 2 other bangers being Talking Forest in Mcgrubor's Wood and Waterfall in... Waterfall.



I don't like the direction the music is going with Varlamore. The tunes themselves are good but there's way too much going on, like they're overproduced or something. They don't sound like Runescape music. The Auburnvale music has a simulated bass guitar.

While I think that Sailing is kinda lame, I always liked chilling out on the smaller quiet island areas in the game.
Like Etceteria Bank.

Edit: Therefore so long as I get a few cool new islands to hang out on, it's fine.
Sometimes you just need to go to Entrana and clear your mind.

It'll be like player owned ports from RS3, which was a great update back then. I'm looking forward to it.

I was referring to the use of "first" which indicates they intend to add more skills. I hope sailing turns out to be great, but I don't support adding new skills and it would probably be better off as a mini game.

Oh I see.
Well, I never really hated the idea of new skills myself, the only problem is that there's really no world in which you can introduce them in a satisfying way at this point, the world map is extremely cluttered as it is, and nobody wants to run off to the middle of fucking nowhere to do the new skill (fucking even Hunter suffers from this problem). Sailing is good in that regard because it can be added in a way that actually feels somewhat intuitive. But the RS3 skills are dreadful because all of them are just shit like "now enemies drop an extra bonus item to do skill" or "now there are gay rifts where you do shamanistic dances to collect gay little wisps" or whatever else the fuck.
Meanwhile Sailing gives an endless opportunity to add a new skill without making it feel disjointed.
