this game was an accidental masterpiece, created by a family of three autistic boy-genius children who created this when the public consensus was that nothing of this scale could be achieved on the web in a browser based way.

The subreddit is cleansing the game of what made it special. Competitive interaction (not only, but mainly pvp) is mostly deemed toxic and shunned. The “roleplaying” aspect has been phased out by solitary activities ie skilling, ironman, pvm. The reddit utterly despises the competitive nature of Pking. So, the PvP playerbase is dying, and with it (what reddit doesn’t realize) is also what makes runescape exciting, it’s life force.

I locked in a valuable name on a few servers in Classic. Played up until about mid twenties and then completely dropped off.

You can blame Reddit, but it was more the GE that killed the game.

I must be old. Never played RuneScape. I was 19 when it became popular, had moved away from my hometown and was busting my ass with a construction crew making bank. No regrets, I remember the times fondly. Had some crazy shit go down. Had a p4 computer that I built around 03 that I lugged around as I moved but never really used.

Played EverQuest, enjoyed the hell out of it. That game was brutal. Still can remember people yelling "train to xxx!" in chat as they ran to zone borders and anyone who didn't get well clear got brutally steamrolled by the chain of NPCs who gangbang aggroed anyone in range as they chased the poor bastard to the zone line. Sometimes you didn't even call out train and deliberately ran next to lower level noobs just to watch the slaughter. Good times.

OSRS still is the best game objectively I ever played hourly wise and the emotions it brought up. Not too long ago I binged it for like 6 months nonstop. Like every waking hour after work and then like 16 hours per day on the weekends until something clicked and the 6 month sub of membership was over and then I just never continued playing.

Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this topic when the market is still open? The traders are in NYC right now and they have been the best stock market people for how long now?

America is one of the best fucking nations on earth, we dropped 2 more and would have dropped 2 more if Japan hadn't surrendered. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when the Dow hits 30k and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, the Fed just pumped 2 trillion dollars into the economy and cut us all a check. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious.
