OSRS shows the folly of asking for classic version of MMOs. You end up getting bored because the developers never change anything or you end up watching your favorite game turn into a bastardized parody of itself.
If the OSRS team want to add new stupid shit like fag flags, whatever. I can ignore that. Hell, I'm sure someone can write a Runelite plugin to hide players wearing the dumbass rainbow items. But changing parts of the game decades after the fact is just taking the piss. The entire appeal of the game is that it's a legacy version of an MMO. Trying to "update it for modern sensibilities" goes against the entire idea of an Old School MMO version.
That said, not shocked this is being pushed though not even a week after the OS Team has stated they're going to be polling less content going forward. If this is what they're going to when given the option, than you're better off just ditching the game. But hey, at least the "inclusion" gives us more women to kill. Thanks, HamJacks!
I liked some of the new stuff like Kourend, new quests/bosses, and more efficient ways to train skills. Now that they've peaked creatively, its time for them to chase the phantom "modern audience", but Metokur said it best in his OSRS video that the majority of the community is veteran players since kids today would rather just play Fortnite, so if you alienate the veterans then you have nobody just like when they forced in EoC back in 2012.
Yeah, OSRS is really just a way for manchildren to try and relive the best years of their life because they're too fucking poor to afford a yellow Corvette.
I mean i play it with old friends here and there, I don't think most people have sixty grand to blow on a car lmao
Speaking as someone who could comfortably go and blow sixty grand cash on a car, I'd rather dick around in an old MMO for the lulz.
