Crazy it took this long tbh

It might not be that crazy - the poll here is only for Treasure Hunter which is a lootbox, not all MTX in general. “”“Coincidentally”“”, EU is about to introduce regulations that would essentially ban or limit lootboxes in video games.

If you asked me, I’d say it’s just a way for Jagex to fix an upcoming legal issue and get positive PR for doing so. With this poll, there’s also a proposal to add in a way to buy bonus exp directly for real cash, albeit with a cap.

It’s not meant to be a democratic poll, but rather a PR stunt.

They did this kind of a poll in 2012 after they fucked their game up with Evolution of Combat update and most people quit as a result, but then they decided to make a vote if they wanted old school servers back which blew up on all the corners of the internet and it was the most talked about thing.

This poll works in almost exactly the same way and their goal is for RS3 to gain new players. They know 100k votes will be easily met given how there’s around the same amount of RS3 players and OSRS players will act as “cavalry” that’ll come into aid due to social media’s call to actions, they’re just hoping it’d create enough buzz for people to pick up that version of the game again or people to learn about the game through media. The poll had no chance to fail.

Surprised it took that long ngl, the game especially at the start was a dumpster fire that lost 95% of it’s players in like a couple if months

This looks like it’s the exact same game untouched except that the textures have been AI upscaled or something.

Like holy shit, look at Paul he looks so dogshit compared to the original

OSRS is legit on its way to become bigger than it was in 2007 on miniclip days, it broke 250k players recently I believe, there’s also been a WoW streamer exodus towards OSRS too

So yes

Yeah, that’s why they added the GE tax
