I tried OSRS blind and now I need an explanation

After a lifetime of playing MMOs, I finally decided to try Old School RuneScape completely blind. No guides, no videos, no research, no idea what I was getting into.

I installed it and then spent nearly an hour trying to understand why my character reacted to clicks like he was receiving instructions by mail. Turns out the input delay is just part of the game. Excellent start.

I pushed on for another 30 minutes and my honest thought was:

How is this one of the most popular MMOs ever made?

And I don’t mean that as hate. The game is ancient, the playerbase is huge, and people are still obsessively chopping trees like it’s a full-time job. Clearly there’s something special here.

So I’m not asking for recommendations or beginner tips, I just want veterans to explain the magic to me.

What makes this game so good that people willingly dedicate years of their lives to it?

Are there any MMORPGs without missable or locked content?

No, you didn't pre-order this, limited skin pack that, missed a holiday event here, or anything similar. Something I can pick up every couple of months and get exactly what someone who plays every day has. I'm trying to avoid FOMO, as it makes me quit playing after I miss content no matter how small. Is there anything like this or am I just going to have to stick to single player games?

Project Gorgon - Buyer Beware!

First of all, when Project Gorgon was officially released, I decided to try it out and instantly fell in love with the game. It has a lot of little quirks that make it unique and it gives the same vibe as other games such as OSRS.

Over the past month or so, the game has been suffering from a severe loss of players on all servers except for the oldest one. For reference, Miraverre server, the one I play on has gone from 500+ players online at all times, down to 150 players online during NA prime time. During the morning and night hours it's closer to 100 players online.

Given the time I've invested in this game, I wanted to express concern on the community discord. A developer made a post earlier today indicating that server merges were not on the table and that didn't sit right with me.

After expressing my concern, one of the developers responded essentially saying to quit and go play Ashes of Creation (a game I've never mentioned or wanted to play, also never officially released). Moments later I was banned from the community discord server.

I've included a screenshot of my final moments on the discord, as you can see I was not being inflammatory, in fact I praised the game. This is what lead to me getting banned.

Anyways, I would love to see some discussion around this topic. It seems like a very unhinged response from a developer of the game in my opinion.

The Division was originally "an MMO with World of Warcraft-style gameplay," devs reveal, and it had hotbars and all before it became a full looter-shooter

Are PvP shooters starting to mimic the same trajectory as MMORPG's?

I thought about posting this on the general gaming sub but wanted discussion with people who would be more intimately familiar with the fall of the MMORPG genre. It seems to me it's happening more often than not now a new shooter comes out and almost immediately dies because it fails to capture an audience because there's so many big fish people are attached to and it's near impossible to get them to move away from even with big money and marketing behind them like we saw Highguard go down earlier this year after getting the prime spot at TGA and now Marathon seems to be steadily bleeding players even with Bungie's rep and cultish fan base. It's reminding me a lot of the last big moment for MMOs in the early 2010's up til now where games come out just to close down because it's hard to pull people away from WoW, XIV, GW2, etc

We released Glenwich our Idle MMO to Steam!

Hey people!

I know we're not a full fancy 3D MMORPG but figured there might be some overlap here so I wanted to share!

Glenwich is (initially) a web-based browser MMO imbued with the nostalgic energy I felt from the days of killing chaos druids for grimy ranarrs to fund my abyssal whip dreams.

There's 14+ skills, a thousand items (though lots of art we still need to draw up), crafting and recipes, we have combat which supports PvP and co-op PvE, a marketplace for trading with players and plenty of other things to explore.

Give it a go if you want! Any feedback would be great.

Thanks!

Any Suggestions or Ideas for a "Spin the Wheel" RuneScape Boss Monster Challenge?

I’ve been messing around with a RuneScape challenge where I start with absolutely nothing, spin a wheel to decide what monster I fight, and can only use its drops to gear up for the next one.

The progression is split into tiers (30 low level, 20 mid, 10 high, 5 demi-bosses) leading up to a final boss. I can also turn drops into gear through skilling (smithing, crafting jewelry, potions, etc), but I can’t use coins to buy equipment.

If I die, the entire run is over.

Curious what people think of the rules or if there are any ways you’d tweak or improve the concept.

I recorded the first run here if anyone wants to see how it plays out:

Ashes of creation

Is there anyone that has any info about it? I know there was a huge drama and I am just wondering if there are any chances for the game to make it. Maybe someone else will pick it up or something. It was one of my most anticipated games to come out in terms of MMOs.
