Bryce Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) does sound fun but going hold out for deadman mode on osrs wonder why they didn't save it for runefest isn't that coming soon? Edited September 16, 2015 by Bryce Link to comment
Sansa Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why do they feel the need to fragment their Runescape playerbase. Again! Link to comment
Legendary DJ Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I imagine most of the people who play it will be people who only use legacy in rs3 anyways. I doubt it'll change the face of the community too much. I might try it out just to see what its like but I don't intend on seriously getting into it. Link to comment
Bobby Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I really think they are trying to get a bunch of players back that quit because of either eoc, or didn't want to pay to play 07. I agree that they shouldn't be trying to split the rs community yet again. How long till you think they make it pay to win? (OR gamble in this case) Link to comment
Beric Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Huh. Well this is unexpected. Link to comment
Wolf Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Another form of rs I will stay away from. yupwhy do you have to start from scratch, jagex is big on starting from scratchand spending 500$ a month lol Link to comment
James Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yay. Let's fragment the player community even more! Link to comment
Justin Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Oh cool, I get the option to start over a third time! Yeah.. no. Link to comment
Brimes Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Wow, I saw a video on youtube about this and thought it was just a private server. Didn't think Jagex would actually do this. Link to comment
LiquidSwords Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Reminds me of when they added PvP worlds back in the day. It'd be fun if not for the awful lag and glitches, hopefully they can fix that. I may try to legit get into this with a noob acc while I div on Liquid. Link to comment
Sas Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I was really excited about this when it got posted, then I heard it was legacy only, and instantly forgot about it. Link to comment
AmusedDragon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I was really excited about this when it got posted, then I heard it was legacy only, and instantly forgot about it. The reason they did that was they waned OSRS and EOC players to both get into it. Still totally divides the community but I'm sure there is just the initial hype and it'll be only somewhat populated. I tried it out. It was a bit of fun and maybe I'll try to do a bit more in it but I don't want to really get into it for the same reasons I haven't made an Ironman - I don't want to do old quests and tasks and all that over again.

Steven Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 and spending 500$ a month lolWhat? How about don't spend money on microtransactions? The $8 or whatever it is now isn't particularly cheap, but that hyperbole is nonsensical lol. One account gets you RS3, OSRS, and this new mdoe. like wot. Link to comment
Wolf Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't actually spend any money besides the monthly fee.But jagex still wants ppl to go down that way Link to comment
Evil Within Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Client crashes. Client crashes everywhere. Link to comment
Deathcon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Rip they stole Osrs's idea for deadman mode, and atleast deadman mode is more deadly as you lose xp upon death aswell as your items in your bank can be raided. Edited September 16, 2015 by Graandor Link to comment
AmusedDragon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Rip they stole Osrs's idea for deadman mode, and atleast deadman mode is more deadly as you lose xp upon death aswell as your items in your bank can be raided. "Stole" from themselves. Lol. Also that sounds way too punishing. Like it looks good on paper but who the hell would actually want that? Link to comment
LiquidSwords Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Rip they stole Osrs's idea for deadman mode, and atleast deadman mode is more deadly as you lose xp upon death aswell as your items in your bank can be raided. "Stole" from themselves. Lol.By that logic, this would be the second time they've stolen re-used this same idea. Hoping they can stick with this one. Link to comment
Beric Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 It's quite fun dicking around on here. I guess I'll see if that feeling lasts. Link to comment
