Actually this game is among the most player-directed. I am pretty sure you quit because you didn't want big changes like EoC, you had no motivation to learn new basics or something. Before (and shortly after) EoC, it was meleescape. You could kill a mage with a scimitar in few hits. EoC was the easiest way to rebalance the combat and prepare the game for the upcoming updates, often centered on bosses. Bots were soon dealt with (now they're coming back, I can only hope for Bot Nuke #2).[MY] yummy90 XP wrote:

Combat now is a little bit easier, but it all depends on the monster and your stats. players with 85+ stats shouldn't have problems defeating most of the bosses, but you won't stand a chance against, let's say, graardor with 60ish stats, the same as before EoC.
Skills are more or less the same, exception being the city of Priffdinas, which is a high-level city offering many benefits and skill alternatives.
Yeah, benefits, perks, advantages. I don't like that the game is becoming easier. Do you know who causes it? The players, of course. Many players wish for this one benefit, that one benefit step by step without realizing how easy the game has become compared to 2-3 years ago. And Jagex listens do them, because they have to maintain the crowd in order to keep earning money. RS3 is partially a dead game.
Another thing (this time Jagex's doing) are microtransactions, which begin to be slowly annoying due to significance of the benefits received. In most hardcore scenarios, one could buy half of a non-buyable skill (it would require a lot of rl money tho).
However, the game still has many things to offer like quests with somehow interesting lore, new bosses, events that change the whole game (e.g. the God Bandos has been slain) and this content is usually aimed at high-level players. So if you're a mid-lvl player, I think you could enjoy a lot of this game.
Final score, 7/10 (8/10) with RL money
did they decrease in price because last time i checked it was around 130m :/MMzz wrote:

Jagex started making the game easier, but now the player has an equal hand. I suggest you look at runelabs every now and then and see what A LOT of people actually want added to RS3. Almost all of it is quality of life, convenience, or high level afk training. Also Jagex is killing the grind in this game with a new Treasure Hunter promotion every week. (These new dwarven tools are too OP. Same for the pulse cores from last week.)
The game is in a different direction though. It isn't about maxing anymore. The 120/200m grind is a real thing now for every player. So, everyone wanted the game "easier" but everyone is still aiming higher and higher with their goals. I don't see anything bad about that. Most of the 120's will take you several months. Then 200m is basically double that. As far as 99's go. Almost all of them can be done within a month. (1 skill per month, not all in one month) Nolifijng you can probably get 2 or 3 a month depending on the skills and efficiency.

The real reason I quit was because I was more of a skiller, I thought that the EoC would have ruined skilling in general. I was about 50 ish-combat with like 9 99's, I also didn't like how the game slowly became pay to win with all the micro transactions. Squeal of Fortune ruined it for me mostly. Another reason I quit was because the community was completely rubbish.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

But thank you for explaining to me~ If I do go back, maybe it will be to the 2007 version. > u <
I think that even better option would be making an ironman account. It disables like 90% of typical perks you would get by having a normal account:
- you can't use GE, trade
- you can't play treasure hunter (old squeal of fortune)
- many more limitations making the game harder
So you have to create/acquire your weapons and armour by yourself, making this game feel like from the times of old
@edit: As to the community, it is been addressed recently on reddit and the conclusion is that huge percentage of toxic players moved to OSRS or quit permanently, RS3 is kind of friendly place now. I haven't met any toxic player since I started playing again (February)
P.S. Update: with asc and some decent gear I managed to kill 4 araxxi in one day without many problems (I died once to the acidic spider due to overconfidence, but sign of death worked
) The fifth kill would be really difficult because of the rage level.

Also got 500m total xp the other day.

Nice slacking you doing there :^) Gratz!
I got some money so I could buy drygores, so I have two T90 weps now! And when I attempted to test them on Zilyana, I got sara hilt and murmur in 26 kills.
What's more important, I started to hang out with my clanmates on bossess, so I can learn again how to own Kalphite King and Nex Actually yesterday we were unlucky enough so I remained alone against KK and had to finish him (20k hp), fortunately he switched to magic phase so I survived : P

any suggestion?
tried to check firewall restart wifi and still not works
Hmm, I always had this problem when my connection was failing. As far as I know, RS servers had some timeout recently so maybe that was the case. I suppose it's okay now?
I'm bored.
o.O did you make a new acc just to train div? ><;
Ironman I suppose?
Nah, just another account to play on while I afk woodcutting lol.

The coincidence is real. Apart from the story above, the main reason I took ACB was because I didn't have RCB at that time (which I coincidentally lost due to client lags..... which are pretty common now) and COINCIDENTALLY ran out of mainhand death lotus darts at the time around the event. Just how unlucky it can be....
I already receive some support from my friends, some also invited me to KK as a voker (well, I couldn't do as much dps without asc) and.......... we got drygore longsword just moment ago. Just WTF
Well, that's a good start to make the money back

Indeed it is, I'm the same :<

will you go for max?
I doubt I'll have the motivation to max rc, fishing, div etc. Since I enjoy pvm I'm getting combat skills quite easily. Now it's time for strength and when the June starts I'll get 99 summoning with the auraMMzz wrote:

World event is really fun.
Also don't forget enlightenment is back and resets on Wednesdays. So you can use it twice this week.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU And I came back to my hometown for 2 days expecting that nothing will happen ..

btw if you get any rewards from the tuska event, get the the tuska's wrath ability.
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Tuska%27s_Wrath
It has a 120 second cooldown, but it is basically a free threshold ability on task.
I'm gonna buy abilities because i missed some from past events. Probably won't get any warpriest because I don't need it. (Unless I have leftover points)

I know about the rewards and yes, I aim mainly for the tuska's wrath, the rest I don't need. I have all other abilities and I have two distinct warpriest sets from GWD and it's enough.
I just used my aura to train summoning with my method and it awarded me about 2,7m xp only with crimson charms and tortoise BoB. Had I used it on Tuesday I'd have gotten 99 summ next week. Well, RIP
@edit: Didn't catch the very moment (xp waste), but yeah, finally:
From 95 to 99 in 40 minutes lawl

Every hour they change
