Ryan, as a lurker just want to say that if you do ever need to jump ship to any other game we will all still watch you. You're enthusiasm and great attitude is what makes you a great watch. Please don't put yourself into any means of financial unknown because of the direction of the game.
Eh, you can't really say that. I've seen lots of YTers swap from one game to another and lose 90% of their viewer base. Though RS3 and OSRS are so similar i'd imagine his viewcount would remain similar.
Ryan has done WAY MORE then jagex itself! Personally I left after almost not missing playing a day in 15 years, can’t stand rs3 anymore and I won’t come back, BUT I will not stop supporting Ryan because of everything he has done to make the community better!
@@NJFgang4life this video probably popped up in their recommended from osrs videos, youtube jumbles them together. bro's really not carrying anything on his shoulders, rs3 has less and less players daily, even most of the rs3 content creators are on osrs now lmao
You earned my respect sir, like football it sucks to see your team imploding, but we do our best to cheer for them anyway. Wishing you all the best in your endeavor.
I actually have major respect for you as well for posting a video like this. I think everyone was just wondering what the outcome for all the RS3 content creators would be and if they would take the same approach as Wazzy/ Maikeru / Parally Etc and the fact that you're still sticking to what you love and have created for the last 10 years is truly a great thing to hear. I think yes RS3 is in this negative light, especially with the Hero pass coming out and that is not helping, but they have shown more communication than I have ever seen in rectifying this situation and they've been in this situation many times before. It's not something they're not used to, as sad as it is, but they will fix it. It's like anything else in this world. Everything is a learning situation, but if there's a problem, do you run from it or do you try and help them fix the problem and help them succeed? The fact you're taking the 2nd approach is what everyone wants. At the end of the day, nobody wants to see this community fail. I have faith they'll restore what they lost.
Do you even realise what you're saying? "they've been in this situation many times before" so tell me, if theyre so good at "learning" from their mistakes why are we here once again. Lol
@@FluidityFPV We're here once again because a bad update was released. They don't look at it the way a player would look at it or maybe they do heck i'm not a mind reader when it comes to Jagex. I mean, clearly they thought it was good and something to release and wouldn't receive as much backlash as they did, but once again, they are "learning" from it and modifying it in a way that wouldn't be so predatory. You can't release an update and make everyone happy. It's just not the way the world works an update is either going to make people happy or it's not it's as simple as that.
Yo Ryan thanks for your guides man. It helped me a lot especially the last ones on zuk. I will only input that if a player leaves this game sinking hundreds of hours in a game, if ni thousands, it will never cross my mind. Thanks for you great uploads and looking forward to your future videos.
I've never seen these thoughts expressed so eloquently, and I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to see someone who is so passionate about the game that they are willing to stay here and be one of the few voices trying to spread the positive press that the game definitely needs wherever appropriate, even when it seems like things can't be much worse. It is people like you and Protoxx who keep the RuneScape spirit alive.
I’ve not long returned to rs3 after years away and just want to say that your enthusiasm and detailed videos are what’s spurring me on again. I’m loving the game and you are a key reason for that! I hope that you are able to continue making a living off RS3, I will be supporting until the end. So glad to be back 👌🏼
Completely understand your PoV, honestly I am happy to watch you do whatever so long as you are having fun, whether that is to stick to rs3 or to branch out at some point down the line. Just hope that you won't refrain from trying other things if they look like you might enjoy them because you are afraid you'll lose your audience, just as rs3 is the canvas on which you have created your content rs3 is the window through which we got the chance to get to know you, but that doesn't mean it's the only window we'd be willing to watch you through or the only canvas that you can create things on. :) At the end of the day everyone needs to do what is best for themselves and I completely get that if someone gets burnt out making videos about a game they aren't enjoying it will have an impact on the quality of the content they produce so it is healthy for them to try other things. And equally in your case, you are still enjoying yourself and so long as that is the case there is no need to take a break or do something else.
I've no idea how I come across your channel, but just come back from a 5 year break and your videos have helped and inspired me to level up stuff and I've never had so much fun playing runscape in like ever
Ryan, Thank you. This video is exactly why I absolutely refused to stop my tier 3 sub on Twitch since 2019. You are a beautiful soul Ryan. I knew the moment you said you declined the group it was runescape 3 needs you now more than ever. You are 100% correct. You have a beautiful gift to stay positive and upbeat. We absolutely need people that get lost on twitch finding your stream instead of potentially finding a streaming who is constantly focused on the obvious issues and forgets to shine light on all of the absolutely beautiful aspects of runescape 3. Thank you so much, Ryan. I will continue to support you no matter your endeavors.
I been playing this game for 15 years on and off and everyone is always complaining about everything..complaining about trading then complaining about the ge complaining about pking and the wilderness then complaining because jagex takes it out.. If everyone leaves and quits that’s fine.. I just want to play it while it’s still alive. The game has kept me engaged for 15 years.. the only thing I have to say after all that time of not complaining and watching RuneScape change it it’s a sick game and I love it and if everyone leaves more stuff for me!!!
So first off, massive props to such a sincere and honest video, I think this is really unique about you. One aspect in which I have a different opinion than you concerns you not signing of on what the game and company is doing yet continuing to play. I personally feel that whilst everyone continuously states that loot boxes, gambling and other predatory microtransactions are that extremely bad, it seems a bit strange to then continue to play the game regardless of it. Of course this is your career and you cannot just end it, I respect and understand that, however I did feel like moving to OSRS for a bit, or branching out would have been at least somewhat of a response to recent changes. Now it seems like despite recent changes taking a turn for the worst, there's not really anything you change here. Either way, these are my two cents, all in all you are a great person and I hope you'll be successful in what you continue to do!
Great video Ryan! I think another big point is that many of us have also been creating content, and solely playing RuneScape 3 for many years. Maybe it's time to swap it up a little bit, explore some other games, and maybe my love for RuneScape 3 will come back with time.
I'm very happy to hear that you're sticking it through with rs3! Looking forward to future content and hopefully a resurgence of rs3 content as a whole. Keep doing what you love!
Even when the ship is sinking, you stay with it like a true captain. I love you and your content Ryan and I respect you so much. I have been burnt out for every reason that you gave earlier, and I’ve just been having a blast playing Tarkov again. I have to give RuneScape as a whole a break. It happens! Keep up the amazing work, man. ❤️
I'm going to be honest with you Ryan, you are the sole reason that I play RS3 still. Your SOLO series, your current HCIM series and the other content that you put out. Everything is just amazing, RS3 just resonates me a lot more than OSRS does (Doesn't mean that I hate it.) I appreciate your honesty and that you are staying with us for the content creation side.
This is why you and Protoxx are my favorite content creators! I’m not leaving R3 ever, my account is 17 years old, and even if osrs irs pretty good I’m sticking with the story thats have being evolving with my account since i started. Love your content Ryan! Hope to see more videos from you in RS3!
me too, just came back after a few years and im having lots of fun. I think ppl nowadays are too soft and they cant get well when things dont run perfectly the way they want (talking about the ranting babies, not ppl who are leaving for burnout which is actually a thing). Ofc Jagex could do better but hey, we won in the hero pass situation, this was exactly the time we should unite, not quit...
@@thefatpakyak2826 because you cannot play one without wasting time on the other, you stop your progress, if you could be able to literally play both games at the same time I would play both, I could afk a skill like mining or fishing while Pvming in one, but you can’t. So you have to choose one at the end of the day. I like both but I’m more interested in improving my main RS3 account. And in Osrs you have to start all over again, if I could have the same levels I have in RS3 I probably would play osrs.
@@someadcstuff7670 thats the difference dude, you just came back, a lot of us had a mtx slap to the face by Jagex after every single good piece of content, a lot of people me incuded got tired of it, mtx that included PVM advantages was the last straw for a lot of players so they jumped to the next best option that happens to be osrs, others that i know just staright up canceled all memberships and switched to wow. even the most recent event in rs3 where they pumped every single pvm event into one huge clusterfuck, free deaths, unlimited auras, basically unlimited signs, slayer/reaper event, overload event all clumped into one, its too much. atm out clan clan that had around 150+ active players now has 3.. and thats just our clan, i imagine similar things are happening in others too
Hi Ryan it's berwick, you are doing an amazing job, I remember when you first started making videos on legacy and we had so much fun it's great to see you still have the video uploaded when we had the best out of 5, I can tell you have so much love for runescape 3. Just do what you enjoy the most. I've been subscribed ever since you made your first runescape video when we used to Skype a lot, you have came a long way and you have worked hard to get where you are at now. You are correct people have switched over because of MTX thats why sirpugger switched over too and left us on RuneScape 3 😂 I don't play the game as much anymore yes mostly old school now but I'm always watching your videos. Like I said you are doing an amazing job my man keeping the runescape 3 community together we have a lot of love for you my dude, keep it going trooper 💙
Very well-thought-out and well explained as always, Ryan. Glad to see you are sticking around. Everyone is in a different situation with different opinions on the current drama. I don't fault any of them for whatever choices they make though. Just glad for them either way. Been enjoying content from those like Maikeru either way though. I cannot help, but smile when he does stuff like Guardians of the Rift as, yeah, it is fun. As someone that plays both OSRS and RS3, I gotta say, both games are great in their own ways and GoR is such amazing content. I think it is worth also remembering while many are moving to OSRS, only time will tell if they stay there. Not to doubt people, but you know. Maybe they won't like it. Maybe they will treat it like a vacation and come back. Hard to say. Part of me is still hoping some will come back eventually. I just have that in the back of my mind. Only time will tell.
As a "newer" watcher of your videos and streams, I can say that I didn't realize your goal to bring up RS3 players to endgame content, specifically bossing. I'm sure that intent kind of just got mixed up in the videos or maybe it's me not seeing the bigger picture, but this video definitely brought that intent to light. Thank you for being a beacon of hope for the players who don't want or feel like they have to jump ship and want to keep playing RS3 and have fun enjoying the game so many of us enjoy. Also, thank you for remaining positive, even in this time of hardship for the game. I don't think being positive makes us naive (I'm the same way!). I think it makes us able to persevere in times of hardship, so keep up the great work Ryan. I will be watching you much more in the coming days! All the best.
love you and the videos u make watched u live for necro was awesome respect ur decision and agree with everything said hope to see you stride into the future.
Runescape needs to look at the range of ages of the players. Just an idea that for the senior players it isn't always ideal the timing within quests can be achieved. Don't tell me not to play the game but how about helping with options to slow or speed some time affected scenes so we can finish the quest reasonably. I hope I explained this good enough.
The scond part is the truthhhhh. I get that content creators get burnt out but mannn im so tired of searching for guides and looking at ways to improve and the top videos are full of complaints and negativity, theres still a massive percentage of players who have alot of goals left to do in the game who cant have long gaming sessions and are just trying to progress and have fun, because of ur help i got my zuk cape and first ras kill and now im going on 600 kills without ever paying attention to mtx still having fun, thank you for the positivity and the help you give us, this community needs it!
Hey man, I just started playing Rs3 again after almost a decade and I'm having a blast! Thank you for these vids, it really helps out! Being from osrs, this is a lot to take in but it's good to know that regardless of what combat style I use I can do some great dps
Well I mean yeah without Runescape what would we call you... "The Guy"? In all seriousness though, so happy to hear you're still with is Ryan! Am and always will be a huge fan
returning player here since 2013, wanting to come back and play IRONAMN , i realised that RS3 was the game to go for since its less time consumming than OSRS. Looking foward to watching your stream :)
With the rate they trickle out content and with its declining rate of players and interest I can't see it ever becoming more popular than it is currently.. if I were you as a business move I'd have to jump ship to old school. I appreciate the loyalty to rs3 I've spent thousands of hours loving the game too but it's dieing and nothing new will revive it to be big. Old school has the dmms and the leagues and a plethora of untapped content for rs3 gamers and creators. You could spend thousands of hours trying out all the new bosses and game content and never run out. You are not naive for sticking with your heart and I hope it goes well for you but in comparison it's tough. I didn't realise wazzy and maikeru etc were permanently jumping though I thought it was a temporary video idea so it is sad to hear
You sticking around is massive.. for me you are one of the brightest faces in the rs3 content creation community. I hope this all pays out longterm.. your love and dedication to the game is something thats very important to exposing rs3 and getting people into it
the posititve mindset you put forward is definitly the way to go. there needs to be someone who people can turn to and youre a very good source of information and fun. so ty
The biggest and most immediate difference I noticed is when you play osrs, you don't have all the bankspace locked behind literal hundreds of dollars of IRL money, it's actually pretty disgusting how much they charge for such a basic function, the only other game I played that did that was a small indie studio that had a f2p game.
I also respect that positive attitude. I play OSRS and haven't played RS3 since EoC, but I watch your stream often because it's a great place to hang out and because it doesn't devolve into rants and listing reasons you dislike the game. You're there for a good time. Also... OSRS or RS3. We are still community :)
Thank you Ryan. . With all the negativity it's hard to stay positive... love the approach even a candle in a room full of darkness will help you find your way much ❤ ill be watching every video you drop and stand beside ya 100%!
Thanks for being so open with us. It must be really tough for you - huge respect. I've always thought you're a great advocate for RS3, and since I still enjoy it, I'll still be here for your content. Really wishing you the best!
Ngl I just moved over from old school. Necromancy is really cool. I also enjoy how much there is to explore. I'm at the point in osrs where the nostalgia has worn off and there nothing new to do. I also think it's okay to play both and have fun.
Much respect for sticking with it. I can't imagine how many hours it takes just to make one video thats only gonna get max 100k views because of the game you're playing and not the quality of the video
Writing on the wall was the reworks. I got out on the smithing rework. Came back for archeology, tried the smithing earnestly, couldn't.stand it and I left again.
Hi Ryan. So glad to hear someone say this, been really rough seeing so many people turning there back on this game, it is there choice and I don't judge them for it, but man you nailed how I feel with this video. The game might have its issues, but moving to OSRS isn't going to solve them, yes stuff sucks but leaving will only make it worse. This is my favourite game, not OSRS, not some other MMO, it has and always will be Runescape 3. I will be honest, I'm not a long term viewer of your channel, I've seen the odd video and so on but I have never subscribed until now. Your a beacon of hope for the RS3 community and it really means a lot to some of us. I will be watching all your content from now on and cant wait to see what you come up with. Thanks for the positivity and for sticking with this community in hard times. Seriously made my day
I've been playing RS3 on-and-off ever since I hopped onto my parents computer and logged into Miniclip to play the game. The start of this slippery slope was Squeal of Fortune. That was basically the kiss of death for this version of the game, and Jagex's decisions with MTX have been quite frustrating. Ryan, you're a VERY high-energy, positive content creator. You'd probably find success playing literally any game or even variety.
Quit Runescape when EOC came..but started OSRS when it came back..haven't been on RS3 since..but you nailed it. Microtransactions are terrible for the game but they will never leave RS3 because $$$$
game is entirely pvmed base now, why would they punish people for experimenting new pvm. wildy was dead for several years being "scary" its the most active its ever been now because of wildy flash events, you have a choice to not buy xp on a main. you can also just play ironman lol
Thank you so much for what you do! Always found Zuk so overwhelming but I finally gave it a try today while watching your guide and was able to get my cape!
I played Rs3 on and off for about 15 years consistently, But I went away & Played WoW classic when it first came out for about 3-4 years. one day I logged into my Rs3 account and all my rares were gone and I had bank pin & everything no email saying it had been removed which tells me Jagex themselves took the items for it being an inactive account. after years of hardwork & being a paying member, I am not at all surprised this game is dying. I'll never ever give Jagex money I consider my whole time of playing that game a complete waste of time.
Ryan, I'm happy that we, the community of players who enjoy RS3, have someone like you. Due to your job as a popular content creator, you are, whether you like it or not, a kind of spokesman for the players, and you're doing a great job. I 100% agree with your conclusions. I can't wait to see the future content. Where can I sign up for a lifelong subscription?
As a creator for Wargaming games, believe me when I say, Jagex MTX is chill af. However, it’s good that people complain, and it’s truly impressive that it got to the point that Jagex is apparently listening. Play whatever you want, both games are great in their own right, and see them for what they truly are, perhaps some of the last mmorpg games that are truly worth playing. I think top PVMers from rs3 will get bored in OSRS eventually, the difficulty and skill cap difference is just absurd.
Wow just wow. I just wanna hug you. Thank you! I have been play rs since inception and have stayed rs evolution of rs to rs3 loyal because of it's great community. You sir are one of the greats.
Im glad content creators are speaking facts and stand up for the community. Its up to jagex if theyre gonna change it or not. The state of mtx is just so bad. Hope they have a real wake up call and actually do something for real this time.
Can't say I wouldn't love to see your take on osrs pvm and content in general, but respect for sticking to your guns. I do think most exiting creators will be back, and would encourage people to try osrs and just know you can always go back to rs3 when content drops
Much love Ryan! So glad you're here to stay. I migrated from osrs to rs3 a year or 2 ago and you and a couple other creators have helped me enjoy and learn this game! Never change! Much love!
The last few years i've strayed from your videos, not because i dislike your content, or question your sincerity. I thought "Oh here we go.. Another content creator jumping ship and following the crowd" but you've proved me wrong, and im so happy you did. Amongst all the chaos of a returning player, seeing my oldest and most fondest memories being dragged through the mud is soul-wretching to see, but you're demonstating strength in persistence. Hopefully shining the light on this dim tunnel of Runescape history, that we're so desperate to see. The amount of time invested into this game by other content creators is no small feat, which shouldn't be understated, but jumping to Old School, isn't going to help the cause that you're conveying. Like many others who've watched this, I commend you for this video. You're standing strong and being the beacon of hope we, the viewer, are desperately needing. The more we see leaving this game, the closer we may come to its end. Which isnt a thought worth bearing. I wish you all the best, you've gained a subscriber and my support in our fight to keep the game we love going. Hopefully this will encourage Jagex to take ownership of their wrongs and set them right.
As someone who hasn't played RS in a long while, your content has been very helpful getting back in the groove. From getting into bossing, to setting up my hud and off-centering my game, to enjoying your reviewing of parts of the game or just fun videos. I appreciate that you've made that continuous decision over the time you started. From what I understand, there are many things in rs3 that are hard to not notice, but that doesn't mean that the fundamentals of the game aren't bad. Combat is (mostly) in the right direction, and it's enjoyable, and the community is very helpful and friendly. Sticking to a game even when some see that it is in its dark times just shows how passionate you are for the game. I hope soon enough that the tunnel will lead to light. Thanks again for being there
i was a 67 hp 60 attack, maxed soul wars pure when EOC came out it fked me and many pures and i gave up even if I returned I would go back to OSRS. But like you said I felt burnt out and have never gone back
Hey Ryan, I don't usually comment on videos or anything like that but I just had to on this video. I have played runescape since I was 9 years old. This is almost over 20 years at this point. I maxed my main, made a ton of GP, and got bored and eventually made an Ironman. I have now maxed my ironman at this point and am getting into the later game pvm, and runescape has ALWAYS been my favorite game. I always come back, no matter what. No matter how many breaks I take, no matter the *bad* content releases, I always have that urge to come back. I've also played a ton of oldschool. Allthough i'm not maxed, I at least have around base 90's (I know, nothing too impressive) and haven't played in many, many years. But I have to say... Even with all of this being said, I have to agree with how you are feeling. These days I am getting tired. Tired of the bad decisions that jagex seems to always make. I remember back in the day when free trade was removed, and how so many people quit. Basically all of my friends that played runescape at the time. Not me. I continued to play, and my friends eventually came back, but the same cycle seemed to repeat itself. Some kind of controversial update comes out, and a ton of people quit. Some for good. I have to admit... This time with the hero pass, it's bad. Really bad. Never has an update rubbed me quite this way. I get that they are trying to make it better, but I think it may be too late for that. I love RS3, it is still my favorite game. And MTX does not really effect me that much since I exclusively play my ironman at this point. But I can not quite shake the feeling that this can be a step towards the end of RS3. I really hope that it is not, and that Jagex can do something to make it better, but I fear for the future of the game. I will play RS3 until the day that the last server is shut down. But at this point, I feel like it is coming sooner rather than later ;-;
I have been watching you for years. I will continue to watch you for however many more years you continue to create content. Thank you for you wonderful content and wonderful outlook on the situation.
i think one of the big reason why OSRS is more fun than RS3 is because the OSRS gameplay mechanics forces you to socialize with other players (like if you want the fighter torso or full void), you HAVE to find a team, talk to them and agree on things, same for raid bosses (which are way less toxic than the RS3 equivalent), also trade between players is still very common as a lot of people don't rely on the GE for some reason. and another reason is Runelite, it's so much better than the basic clients we have...
I am not a creator, but I've considered how I want to handle the situation as a regular player. For me, Rs3 is a game that I've always treated like a side-game. I play it when I can, but I personally enjoy the nostalgia of it. Necromancy was a cool update, and for those players that are complaining about it making things easy, sure, it's easy once you know how to use it at different bosses. But there are plenty of people who are still learning how to PVM with it. I've enjoyed trying ED's because of the Thok event and am working towards trying HM Zuk (btw, your video on this has been studied 2-3 times). Before the Thok event, I had actually started working on setting myself up to work towards the comp cape with the focus on clue scrolls. My points with this, is that every game has it's ups and downs. If you don't like the current path, you are welcome to try a different game. It is the natural order of things. However, there are SO MANY alternate things you can do to keep the game fresh. Anyways, just my two cents for whatever it may be worth. I think Rs3 is trying, but they are being controlled & limited by management; a situation which I as a software engineer can completely understand and relate too.
I've been away from the game for that past 3 years now and have not been aware of anything that has been going on back in my old home, RuneScape 3. I have been considering coming back to the game for the past week now and came across your video. I need to say this, you have no idea how comforting it is to know you're there being that positive light in the community. I'm actually looking forward to see what I've missed in the past 3 years now when i renew my sub.
I don't see all of them leaving full time to osrs. Maikeru has mentioned that he'll be back for new bosses, and Wazzy just got ifb and golden reaper on his iron, so a break seems natural there. Time will tell though.
I was a trimmed comp veteran that switched to OSRS in the beginning of the year, the game felt less and less like the game i loved. I came back to try out necromancy and it felt unfinished right of the bat and that didn't make my feeling about rs3 any better. Hero pass was the last drop in the bucket for me, the game i adored didn't have that feeling anymore and now I'm trying to fill that void with osrs.
Honestly for me personally, I'm burnt out and have been for a long time on it. Everytime I see new content on Rs3, the feeling of having to try and keep up with daily tasks, going for skill levels that are so vastly more grindy than base 99s and getting lambasted in both free things (demotivates achievements when no effort can do it too) and MTX (constantly predatory nonsense) completely takes me out of the experience. In comparison, when I see Old School RuneScape talking about genuine content, consulting exclusively with its community, no MTX and an actual seemingly bright future, it seems like night and day to me. I genuinely can't fathom how a company can exist that seems to have some polar opposite visions. Imagine if the development cycle and expectations that OSRS gets came to RS3, it would probably actually inspire people to play. I'm still probably only going to play the League, as life gets in the way of grinding too much now, but if I had to recommend or play one game in my limited time, it just can't be RS3 any more. I'll like watching videos, but I also have an understanding of the basic game, the difference between something like Settled explaining everything and the nightmare of 300 menus open on RS3 is absolutely a turn off for new viewers too. Apart from your videos and the occasional Sick Nerd or A Friend returning, I just don't get any enjoyment out of this game, and I hate that that's the case, but I'm not particularly saddened by it.
I rarely comment on YT videos, and i don’t think that you’ll read this but, been a fan for a long time now (also im in your streams alot), your content will always be top tier, and this is what i like about it, POSITIVITY no matter what Keep it going Ryan!
Been watching your videos way back in the days, and that was when I was playing the game. The biggest thing that turned me away from the game wasn't the gold buying, wasn't the new skills, but the community, every time I ask for information, i get trolled or pushed away, or just "Git Gud". So I was running solo for a LONG time, when I wanted to try and join a community, there is always a "skill" lvl that bars people from learning, and that was back when Yakumaru was new. When you bar new players from learning you're cutting off the new generation of gamers that helps a game grow. And for me, that was the last straw.
Ryan, as a lurker just want to say that if you do ever need to jump ship to any other game we will all still watch you. You're enthusiasm and great attitude is what makes you a great watch.
Please don't put yourself into any means of financial unknown because of the direction of the game.
Personally, I already watch plenty of OSRS streamers so I won't watch him anymore if he switches.
Yeah big on this. I don’t watch the content for rs3.
Eh, you can't really say that. I've seen lots of YTers swap from one game to another and lose 90% of their viewer base. Though RS3 and OSRS are so similar i'd imagine his viewcount would remain similar.
Ryan has done more for this game than anyone inside Jagex.
Ryan has done WAY MORE then jagex itself! Personally I left after almost not missing playing a day in 15 years, can’t stand rs3 anymore and I won’t come back, BUT I will not stop supporting Ryan because of everything he has done to make the community better!
What did he do exactly? Jagex makes the game. He just sits in front of the computer.
@@byever1 lol? jagex is actively pushing players away with their actions while ryan is doing his best to bring players in. sick hatewatcher
Really? Because jagex keeps the game online. Ryan just makes videos on the game.

@@NJFgang4life this video probably popped up in their recommended from osrs videos, youtube jumbles them together. bro's really not carrying anything on his shoulders, rs3 has less and less players daily, even most of the rs3 content creators are on osrs now lmao
You earned my respect sir, like football it sucks to see your team imploding, but we do our best to cheer for them anyway. Wishing you all the best in your endeavor.
Really well said Ryan! It’s always fun making content when you have a great community.
I love you ❤️
Great to have a video like this to help keep things going. Thank rsguy for doing what you do!
I actually have major respect for you as well for posting a video like this. I think everyone was just wondering what the outcome for all the RS3 content creators would be and if they would take the same approach as Wazzy/ Maikeru / Parally Etc and the fact that you're still sticking to what you love and have created for the last 10 years is truly a great thing to hear. I think yes RS3 is in this negative light, especially with the Hero pass coming out and that is not helping, but they have shown more communication than I have ever seen in rectifying this situation and they've been in this situation many times before. It's not something they're not used to, as sad as it is, but they will fix it. It's like anything else in this world. Everything is a learning situation, but if there's a problem, do you run from it or do you try and help them fix the problem and help them succeed? The fact you're taking the 2nd approach is what everyone wants. At the end of the day, nobody wants to see this community fail. I have faith they'll restore what they lost.
Do you even realise what you're saying? "they've been in this situation many times before" so tell me, if theyre so good at "learning" from their mistakes why are we here once again. Lol
@@FluidityFPV We're here once again because a bad update was released. They don't look at it the way a player would look at it or maybe they do heck i'm not a mind reader when it comes to Jagex. I mean, clearly they thought it was good and something to release and wouldn't receive as much backlash as they did, but once again, they are "learning" from it and modifying it in a way that wouldn't be so predatory. You can't release an update and make everyone happy. It's just not the way the world works an update is either going to make people happy or it's not it's as simple as that.
Yo Ryan thanks for your guides man. It helped me a lot especially the last ones on zuk.
I will only input that if a player leaves this game sinking hundreds of hours in a game, if ni thousands, it will never cross my mind.
Thanks for you great uploads and looking forward to your future videos.
Twitch had 170 viewers for rs3 Sunday night around 8pm. That was for the entire category. This was only a couple weeks after necromancy.
I've never seen these thoughts expressed so eloquently, and I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to see someone who is so passionate about the game that they are willing to stay here and be one of the few voices trying to spread the positive press that the game definitely needs wherever appropriate, even when it seems like things can't be much worse. It is people like you and Protoxx who keep the RuneScape spirit alive.
This, exactly. Ngl i had to swipe some tears away while watching this vid aswell 😢
I love you man, super thankful for everything you do for the community! Keep it up man!
Osrs has far less updates but you don’t see people over there getting burnt out. I think it’s primarily mtx causing the “burnout” in rs3
I’ve not long returned to rs3 after years away and just want to say that your enthusiasm and detailed videos are what’s spurring me on again. I’m loving the game and you are a key reason for that! I hope that you are able to continue making a living off RS3, I will be supporting until the end. So glad to be back 👌🏼
Completely understand your PoV, honestly I am happy to watch you do whatever so long as you are having fun, whether that is to stick to rs3 or to branch out at some point down the line. Just hope that you won't refrain from trying other things if they look like you might enjoy them because you are afraid you'll lose your audience, just as rs3 is the canvas on which you have created your content rs3 is the window through which we got the chance to get to know you, but that doesn't mean it's the only window we'd be willing to watch you through or the only canvas that you can create things on. :)
At the end of the day everyone needs to do what is best for themselves and I completely get that if someone gets burnt out making videos about a game they aren't enjoying it will have an impact on the quality of the content they produce so it is healthy for them to try other things. And equally in your case, you are still enjoying yourself and so long as that is the case there is no need to take a break or do something else.
I've no idea how I come across your channel, but just come back from a 5 year break and your videos have helped and inspired me to level up stuff and I've never had so much fun playing runscape in like ever
Ryan, Thank you. This video is exactly why I absolutely refused to stop my tier 3 sub on Twitch since 2019. You are a beautiful soul Ryan. I knew the moment you said you declined the group it was runescape 3 needs you now more than ever. You are 100% correct. You have a beautiful gift to stay positive and upbeat. We absolutely need people that get lost on twitch finding your stream instead of potentially finding a streaming who is constantly focused on the obvious issues and forgets to shine light on all of the absolutely beautiful aspects of runescape 3. Thank you so much, Ryan. I will continue to support you no matter your endeavors.
Youve actually made me log back on with this video, keep it up mate
I been playing this game for 15 years on and off and everyone is always complaining about everything..complaining about trading then complaining about the ge complaining about pking and the wilderness then complaining because jagex takes it out..
If everyone leaves and quits that’s fine.. I just want to play it while it’s still alive.
The game has kept me engaged for 15 years.. the only thing I have to say after all that time of not complaining and watching RuneScape change it it’s a sick game and I love it and if everyone leaves more stuff for me!!!
So first off, massive props to such a sincere and honest video, I think this is really unique about you. One aspect in which I have a different opinion than you concerns you not signing of on what the game and company is doing yet continuing to play. I personally feel that whilst everyone continuously states that loot boxes, gambling and other predatory microtransactions are that extremely bad, it seems a bit strange to then continue to play the game regardless of it. Of course this is your career and you cannot just end it, I respect and understand that, however I did feel like moving to OSRS for a bit, or branching out would have been at least somewhat of a response to recent changes. Now it seems like despite recent changes taking a turn for the worst, there's not really anything you change here.
Either way, these are my two cents, all in all you are a great person and I hope you'll be successful in what you continue to do!
Great video Ryan!
I think another big point is that many of us have also been creating content, and solely playing RuneScape 3 for many years.
Maybe it's time to swap it up a little bit, explore some other games, and maybe my love for RuneScape 3 will come back with time.
I'm very happy to hear that you're sticking it through with rs3! Looking forward to future content and hopefully a resurgence of rs3 content as a whole. Keep doing what you love!
Even when the ship is sinking, you stay with it like a true captain. I love you and your content Ryan and I respect you so much. I have been burnt out for every reason that you gave earlier, and I’ve just been having a blast playing Tarkov again. I have to give RuneScape as a whole a break. It happens! Keep up the amazing work, man. ❤️
silence osrs player
Can confirm, I'm someone who left RS3 for GHIM Osrs and I'm having a blast so far.
I'm going to be honest with you Ryan, you are the sole reason that I play RS3 still. Your SOLO series, your current HCIM series and the other content that you put out. Everything is just amazing, RS3 just resonates me a lot more than OSRS does (Doesn't mean that I hate it.) I appreciate your honesty and that you are staying with us for the content creation side.
Thank you, Ryan. Your content keeps others inspired and interested in this game, through all the hardships we rs3 players endure.
This is why you and Protoxx are my favorite content creators! I’m not leaving R3 ever, my account is 17 years old, and even if osrs irs pretty good I’m sticking with the story thats have being evolving with my account since i started. Love your content Ryan! Hope to see more videos from you in RS3!
me too, just came back after a few years and im having lots of fun. I think ppl nowadays are too soft and they cant get well when things dont run perfectly the way they want (talking about the ranting babies, not ppl who are leaving for burnout which is actually a thing). Ofc Jagex could do better but hey, we won in the hero pass situation, this was exactly the time we should unite, not quit...
I dont get it, why not play both? Theres always afking on one game or the other
@@thefatpakyak2826 because you cannot play one without wasting time on the other, you stop your progress, if you could be able to literally play both games at the same time I would play both, I could afk a skill like mining or fishing while Pvming in one, but you can’t. So you have to choose one at the end of the day. I like both but I’m more interested in improving my main RS3 account. And in Osrs you have to start all over again, if I could have the same levels I have in RS3 I probably would play osrs.
just get a 2nd account lmao@@chukss_
@@someadcstuff7670 thats the difference dude, you just came back, a lot of us had a mtx slap to the face by Jagex after every single good piece of content, a lot of people me incuded got tired of it, mtx that included PVM advantages was the last straw for a lot of players so they jumped to the next best option that happens to be osrs, others that i know just staright up canceled all memberships and switched to wow. even the most recent event in rs3 where they pumped every single pvm event into one huge clusterfuck, free deaths, unlimited auras, basically unlimited signs, slayer/reaper event, overload event all clumped into one, its too much. atm out clan clan that had around 150+ active players now has 3.. and thats just our clan, i imagine similar things are happening in others too
Hi Ryan it's berwick, you are doing an amazing job, I remember when you first started making videos on legacy and we had so much fun it's great to see you still have the video uploaded when we had the best out of 5, I can tell you have so much love for runescape 3. Just do what you enjoy the most. I've been subscribed ever since you made your first runescape video when we used to Skype a lot, you have came a long way and you have worked hard to get where you are at now. You are correct people have switched over because of MTX thats why sirpugger switched over too and left us on RuneScape 3 😂 I don't play the game as much anymore yes mostly old school now but I'm always watching your videos. Like I said you are doing an amazing job my man keeping the runescape 3 community together we have a lot of love for you my dude, keep it going trooper 💙
Very well-thought-out and well explained as always, Ryan. Glad to see you are sticking around. Everyone is in a different situation with different opinions on the current drama. I don't fault any of them for whatever choices they make though. Just glad for them either way. Been enjoying content from those like Maikeru either way though. I cannot help, but smile when he does stuff like Guardians of the Rift as, yeah, it is fun. As someone that plays both OSRS and RS3, I gotta say, both games are great in their own ways and GoR is such amazing content.
I think it is worth also remembering while many are moving to OSRS, only time will tell if they stay there. Not to doubt people, but you know. Maybe they won't like it. Maybe they will treat it like a vacation and come back. Hard to say. Part of me is still hoping some will come back eventually. I just have that in the back of my mind. Only time will tell.
Felt every word of this. When i was a rs3 creator u feel like that spongebob meme of squidward watching out the window at osrs
As a "newer" watcher of your videos and streams, I can say that I didn't realize your goal to bring up RS3 players to endgame content, specifically bossing. I'm sure that intent kind of just got mixed up in the videos or maybe it's me not seeing the bigger picture, but this video definitely brought that intent to light. Thank you for being a beacon of hope for the players who don't want or feel like they have to jump ship and want to keep playing RS3 and have fun enjoying the game so many of us enjoy.
Also, thank you for remaining positive, even in this time of hardship for the game. I don't think being positive makes us naive (I'm the same way!). I think it makes us able to persevere in times of hardship, so keep up the great work Ryan. I will be watching you much more in the coming days! All the best.
love you and the videos u make watched u live for necro was awesome respect ur decision and agree with everything said hope to see you stride into the future.
100%! I love your positive outlook and I couldn't agree more
The only issue I see right now is that I do not see any advantage in using Melee, Range or Mage anymore
Runescape needs to look at the range of ages of the players. Just an idea that for the senior players it isn't always ideal the timing within quests can be achieved. Don't tell me not to play the game but how about helping with options to slow or speed some time affected scenes so we can finish the quest reasonably. I hope I explained this good enough.
As a new player to Runescape, I hope you stick around for as long as possible!
You care so much about this game and it’s admirable how you’re always doing your best regardless, much love Ryan
I couldnt deal with the neglected feedback anymore; osrs has been so nostalgic yet so refreshing.
im sorry it took you guys 10 years to realise. but we are glad to have you
oh nvm sorry i commented before watching, rip.
The scond part is the truthhhhh. I get that content creators get burnt out but mannn im so tired of searching for guides and looking at ways to improve and the top videos are full of complaints and negativity, theres still a massive percentage of players who have alot of goals left to do in the game who cant have long gaming sessions and are just trying to progress and have fun, because of ur help i got my zuk cape and first ras kill and now im going on 600 kills without ever paying attention to mtx still having fun, thank you for the positivity and the help you give us, this community needs it!
as a former rs3 player i love OSRS ! so clean and overall GREAT game :D
Hey man, I just started playing Rs3 again after almost a decade and I'm having a blast! Thank you for these vids, it really helps out! Being from osrs, this is a lot to take in but it's good to know that regardless of what combat style I use I can do some great dps
thanks for bringing me back to the game, seeing you have fun made me join back
So glad you are not jumping ship!
Going to ride this until the wheels fall off..
Ship wheels? I don't know.
I still dont understand why they dont bring out group IM for RS3 or even give us the option to turn off the MTX pop ups.
Well I mean yeah without Runescape what would we call you... "The Guy"?
In all seriousness though, so happy to hear you're still with is Ryan! Am and always will be a huge fan
The OS Guy? Just doesn’t sound right lol
returning player here since 2013,
wanting to come back and play IRONAMN , i realised that RS3 was the game to go for since its less time consumming than OSRS.
Looking foward to watching your stream :)
With the rate they trickle out content and with its declining rate of players and interest I can't see it ever becoming more popular than it is currently.. if I were you as a business move I'd have to jump ship to old school. I appreciate the loyalty to rs3 I've spent thousands of hours loving the game too but it's dieing and nothing new will revive it to be big. Old school has the dmms and the leagues and a plethora of untapped content for rs3 gamers and creators. You could spend thousands of hours trying out all the new bosses and game content and never run out. You are not naive for sticking with your heart and I hope it goes well for you but in comparison it's tough. I didn't realise wazzy and maikeru etc were permanently jumping though I thought it was a temporary video idea so it is sad to hear
You sticking around is massive.. for me you are one of the brightest faces in the rs3 content creation community. I hope this all pays out longterm.. your love and dedication to the game is something thats very important to exposing rs3 and getting people into it
the posititve mindset you put forward is definitly the way to go.
there needs to be someone who people can turn to and youre a very good source of information and fun.
so ty
The biggest and most immediate difference I noticed is when you play osrs, you don't have all the bankspace locked behind literal hundreds of dollars of IRL money, it's actually pretty disgusting how much they charge for such a basic function, the only other game I played that did that was a small indie studio that had a f2p game.
I also respect that positive attitude. I play OSRS and haven't played RS3 since EoC, but I watch your stream often because it's a great place to hang out and because it doesn't devolve into rants and listing reasons you dislike the game. You're there for a good time.
Also... OSRS or RS3. We are still community :)
Thank you Ryan. . With all the negativity it's hard to stay positive... love the approach even a candle in a room full of darkness will help you find your way much ❤ ill be watching every video you drop and stand beside ya 100%!
Thanks for being so open with us. It must be really tough for you - huge respect. I've always thought you're a great advocate for RS3, and since I still enjoy it, I'll still be here for your content. Really wishing you the best!
Ngl I just moved over from old school. Necromancy is really cool. I also enjoy how much there is to explore.
I'm at the point in osrs where the nostalgia has worn off and there nothing new to do. I also think it's okay to play both and have fun.
Yesssss ! Thanks for staying with us! This game is still insanely fun and I hope in time it will be full with players again 🎉
Thanks for not shying away from this topic. Don't be afraid to make decisions you think are best for you. We believe in you
Man please don’t go anywhere, because of you I got my first Zuk Kill and soon my first Zuk Cape!!
Much respect for sticking with it. I can't imagine how many hours it takes just to make one video thats only gonna get max 100k views because of the game you're playing and not the quality of the video
Writing on the wall was the reworks. I got out on the smithing rework. Came back for archeology, tried the smithing earnestly, couldn't.stand it and I left again.
Hi Ryan. So glad to hear someone say this, been really rough seeing so many people turning there back on this game, it is there choice and I don't judge them for it, but man you nailed how I feel with this video. The game might have its issues, but moving to OSRS isn't going to solve them, yes stuff sucks but leaving will only make it worse. This is my favourite game, not OSRS, not some other MMO, it has and always will be Runescape 3. I will be honest, I'm not a long term viewer of your channel, I've seen the odd video and so on but I have never subscribed until now. Your a beacon of hope for the RS3 community and it really means a lot to some of us. I will be watching all your content from now on and cant wait to see what you come up with. Thanks for the positivity and for sticking with this community in hard times. Seriously made my day
I've been playing RS3 on-and-off ever since I hopped onto my parents computer and logged into Miniclip to play the game. The start of this slippery slope was Squeal of Fortune. That was basically the kiss of death for this version of the game, and Jagex's decisions with MTX have been quite frustrating. Ryan, you're a VERY high-energy, positive content creator. You'd probably find success playing literally any game or even variety.
Quit Runescape when EOC came..but started OSRS when it came back..haven't been on RS3 since..but you nailed it. Microtransactions are terrible for the game but they will never leave RS3 because $$$$
I’ll be honest necromancy has pulled me away from oldschool and I’m really excited to play
I think the GIM would be awesome, but so is your current content! And all respect for sticking with what you enjoy.
Bring back death being something you don’t want to experience, bring back scariness of the wild, get rid of buying xp, and you’ll have good changes.
game is entirely pvmed base now, why would they punish people for experimenting new pvm. wildy was dead for several years being "scary" its the most active its ever been now because of wildy flash events, you have a choice to not buy xp on a main. you can also just play ironman lol
Thank you so much for what you do! Always found Zuk so overwhelming but I finally gave it a try today while watching your guide and was able to get my cape!
I played Rs3 on and off for about 15 years consistently, But I went away & Played WoW classic when it first came out for about 3-4 years. one day I logged into my Rs3 account and all my rares were gone and I had bank pin & everything no email saying it had been removed which tells me Jagex themselves took the items for it being an inactive account. after years of hardwork & being a paying member, I am not at all surprised this game is dying. I'll never ever give Jagex money I consider my whole time of playing that game a complete waste of time.
Do both. Id love to see a group iron series collab. Great fun to be had
Ryan, I'm happy that we, the community of players who enjoy RS3, have someone like you. Due to your job as a popular content creator, you are, whether you like it or not, a kind of spokesman for the players, and you're doing a great job. I 100% agree with your conclusions. I can't wait to see the future content. Where can I sign up for a lifelong subscription?
You've gained a new subscriber by simply expressing your opinion. You keep being you and I'll keep being a view!
As a creator for Wargaming games, believe me when I say, Jagex MTX is chill af. However, it’s good that people complain, and it’s truly impressive that it got to the point that Jagex is apparently listening. Play whatever you want, both games are great in their own right, and see them for what they truly are, perhaps some of the last mmorpg games that are truly worth playing.
I think top PVMers from rs3 will get bored in OSRS eventually, the difficulty and skill cap difference is just absurd.
Wow just wow. I just wanna hug you. Thank you! I have been play rs since inception and have stayed rs evolution of rs to rs3 loyal because of it's great community. You sir are one of the greats.
Bloody hell, your mental perspective is inspirational
Im glad content creators are speaking facts and stand up for the community. Its up to jagex if theyre gonna change it or not. The state of mtx is just so bad. Hope they have a real wake up call and actually do something for real this time.
Great to hear thanks for taking the time to let it be known. Good to know your staying, so am I, as a player and viewer.
Can't say I wouldn't love to see your take on osrs pvm and content in general, but respect for sticking to your guns. I do think most exiting creators will be back, and would encourage people to try osrs and just know you can always go back to rs3 when content drops
Much love Ryan! So glad you're here to stay. I migrated from osrs to rs3 a year or 2 ago and you and a couple other creators have helped me enjoy and learn this game! Never change! Much love!
The last few years i've strayed from your videos, not because i dislike your content, or question your sincerity. I thought "Oh here we go.. Another content creator jumping ship and following the crowd" but you've proved me wrong, and im so happy you did. Amongst all the chaos of a returning player, seeing my oldest and most fondest memories being dragged through the mud is soul-wretching to see, but you're demonstating strength in persistence. Hopefully shining the light on this dim tunnel of Runescape history, that we're so desperate to see.
The amount of time invested into this game by other content creators is no small feat, which shouldn't be understated, but jumping to Old School, isn't going to help the cause that you're conveying. Like many others who've watched this, I commend you for this video. You're standing strong and being the beacon of hope we, the viewer, are desperately needing. The more we see leaving this game, the closer we may come to its end. Which isnt a thought worth bearing.
I wish you all the best, you've gained a subscriber and my support in our fight to keep the game we love going. Hopefully this will encourage Jagex to take ownership of their wrongs and set them right.
best video ive seen in a while. Shout out to you thankful that your staying around and making content !
As someone who hasn't played RS in a long while, your content has been very helpful getting back in the groove. From getting into bossing, to setting up my hud and off-centering my game, to enjoying your reviewing of parts of the game or just fun videos. I appreciate that you've made that continuous decision over the time you started.
From what I understand, there are many things in rs3 that are hard to not notice, but that doesn't mean that the fundamentals of the game aren't bad. Combat is (mostly) in the right direction, and it's enjoyable, and the community is very helpful and friendly. Sticking to a game even when some see that it is in its dark times just shows how passionate you are for the game. I hope soon enough that the tunnel will lead to light.
Thanks again for being there
i was a 67 hp 60 attack, maxed soul wars pure when EOC came out it fked me and many pures and i gave up even if I returned I would go back to OSRS. But like you said I felt burnt out and have never gone back
Hey Ryan, I don't usually comment on videos or anything like that but I just had to on this video.
I have played runescape since I was 9 years old. This is almost over 20 years at this point. I maxed my main, made a ton of GP, and got bored and eventually made an Ironman. I have now maxed my ironman at this point and am getting into the later game pvm, and runescape has ALWAYS been my favorite game. I always come back, no matter what. No matter how many breaks I take, no matter the *bad* content releases, I always have that urge to come back.
I've also played a ton of oldschool. Allthough i'm not maxed, I at least have around base 90's (I know, nothing too impressive) and haven't played in many, many years. But I have to say... Even with all of this being said, I have to agree with how you are feeling.
These days I am getting tired. Tired of the bad decisions that jagex seems to always make. I remember back in the day when free trade was removed, and how so many people quit. Basically all of my friends that played runescape at the time. Not me. I continued to play, and my friends eventually came back, but the same cycle seemed to repeat itself. Some kind of controversial update comes out, and a ton of people quit. Some for good.
I have to admit... This time with the hero pass, it's bad. Really bad. Never has an update rubbed me quite this way. I get that they are trying to make it better, but I think it may be too late for that. I love RS3, it is still my favorite game. And MTX does not really effect me that much since I exclusively play my ironman at this point. But I can not quite shake the feeling that this can be a step towards the end of RS3. I really hope that it is not, and that Jagex can do something to make it better, but I fear for the future of the game.
I will play RS3 until the day that the last server is shut down. But at this point, I feel like it is coming sooner rather than later ;-;
Thank you for staying, we rs3 need you❤
rs3 is like a toxic ex boyfriend/girlfriend that promises its changed and wont cheat but is the definition of insanity.
And ontop of all this, this is when deadman mode was released on osrs so i just stayed over there :/
Thanks for not giving up. Its refreshing to see someone else sticking it out with us
I have been watching you for years. I will continue to watch you for however many more years you continue to create content. Thank you for you wonderful content and wonderful outlook on the situation.
Old school is far superior..better content, better community…just better !!
i think one of the big reason why OSRS is more fun than RS3 is because the OSRS gameplay mechanics forces you to socialize with other players (like if you want the fighter torso or full void), you HAVE to find a team, talk to them and agree on things, same for raid bosses (which are way less toxic than the RS3 equivalent), also trade between players is still very common as a lot of people don't rely on the GE for some reason.
and another reason is Runelite, it's so much better than the basic clients we have...
I am not a creator, but I've considered how I want to handle the situation as a regular player. For me, Rs3 is a game that I've always treated like a side-game. I play it when I can, but I personally enjoy the nostalgia of it. Necromancy was a cool update, and for those players that are complaining about it making things easy, sure, it's easy once you know how to use it at different bosses. But there are plenty of people who are still learning how to PVM with it. I've enjoyed trying ED's because of the Thok event and am working towards trying HM Zuk (btw, your video on this has been studied 2-3 times). Before the Thok event, I had actually started working on setting myself up to work towards the comp cape with the focus on clue scrolls. My points with this, is that every game has it's ups and downs. If you don't like the current path, you are welcome to try a different game. It is the natural order of things. However, there are SO MANY alternate things you can do to keep the game fresh. Anyways, just my two cents for whatever it may be worth. I think Rs3 is trying, but they are being controlled & limited by management; a situation which I as a software engineer can completely understand and relate too.
I've been away from the game for that past 3 years now and have not been aware of anything that has been going on back in my old home, RuneScape 3. I have been considering coming back to the game for the past week now and came across your video. I need to say this, you have no idea how comforting it is to know you're there being that positive light in the community. I'm actually looking forward to see what I've missed in the past 3 years now when i renew my sub.
Subscribed to you just because of this video. Great take.
I don't see all of them leaving full time to osrs. Maikeru has mentioned that he'll be back for new bosses, and Wazzy just got ifb and golden reaper on his iron, so a break seems natural there. Time will tell though.
I was a trimmed comp veteran that switched to OSRS in the beginning of the year, the game felt less and less like the game i loved.
I came back to try out necromancy and it felt unfinished right of the bat and that didn't make my feeling about rs3 any better.
Hero pass was the last drop in the bucket for me, the game i adored didn't have that feeling anymore and now I'm trying to fill that void with osrs.
Well If you ever had to I’m sure no one be mad I’m glad you’re sticking it out
Honestly for me personally, I'm burnt out and have been for a long time on it. Everytime I see new content on Rs3, the feeling of having to try and keep up with daily tasks, going for skill levels that are so vastly more grindy than base 99s and getting lambasted in both free things (demotivates achievements when no effort can do it too) and MTX (constantly predatory nonsense) completely takes me out of the experience. In comparison, when I see Old School RuneScape talking about genuine content, consulting exclusively with its community, no MTX and an actual seemingly bright future, it seems like night and day to me. I genuinely can't fathom how a company can exist that seems to have some polar opposite visions. Imagine if the development cycle and expectations that OSRS gets came to RS3, it would probably actually inspire people to play. I'm still probably only going to play the League, as life gets in the way of grinding too much now, but if I had to recommend or play one game in my limited time, it just can't be RS3 any more.
I'll like watching videos, but I also have an understanding of the basic game, the difference between something like Settled explaining everything and the nightmare of 300 menus open on RS3 is absolutely a turn off for new viewers too. Apart from your videos and the occasional Sick Nerd or A Friend returning, I just don't get any enjoyment out of this game, and I hate that that's the case, but I'm not particularly saddened by it.
I rarely comment on YT videos, and i don’t think that you’ll read this but, been a fan for a long time now (also im in your streams alot), your content will always be top tier, and this is what i like about it, POSITIVITY no matter what
Keep it going Ryan!
Cheers RS Guy.
Been watching your videos way back in the days, and that was when I was playing the game. The biggest thing that turned me away from the game wasn't the gold buying, wasn't the new skills, but the community, every time I ask for information, i get trolled or pushed away, or just "Git Gud". So I was running solo for a LONG time, when I wanted to try and join a community, there is always a "skill" lvl that bars people from learning, and that was back when Yakumaru was new. When you bar new players from learning you're cutting off the new generation of gamers that helps a game grow. And for me, that was the last straw.
