The player character being a sort of bumbling idiot in quest dialogue but an extremely capable and competent fighter + everything associated with skills is absolutely how the character should remain.

And despite all of this i still think that bouth games r masterpieces and i feel like runescape players overhate everything, example: evoliution of combat, dungeoneering, rs3 in general, microtransactions. Every single one of those is OVERHATED. evoliution of combat = made combat better, why people mad? dungeoneering = just a skill that has more than 2 steps like mining or woodcutting, with woodcutting u chop and u burn, with mining u mine and u smelt, with dungeoneering you explore, you fight, you upgrade gear, you get coins, you level up skills, you find keys, you defeat the dungeon boss. Microtransactions = no one is forced to pay for microtransactions, rs3 is not pay to win, microtransactions LITERALLY saved jagex at one point where they were on the brink of BANKRUPTCY, yes this makes your non-paid progress as a non-ironman less impressive, but i think players should just be proud of what theyvee done themselves, or...just play ironman i guess??? anyway, i hope this explain well why i hate on rs3 haters! lol! peace.

I’m imagining some private servers becoming like roleplaying servers kinda like in GTA, where you pick one or two skills at 99 and that becomes your “job.” You’d have like monster hunters, artisans, etc. PKing is universal but doing so makes you a “criminal.” Being a guard or bounty hunter would have you hunting criminals. Something like that would in a way bring the social aspect back to the game, even if its just on a private server.

I'd love a private server or main game minigame that sends a lobby of players into custom created "Gielinor Games" scenarios/challenges and people compete.

When I initially saw the private server stuff I just thought, "Oh that's cool!" Now I'm realizing this is basically just a way for Jagex to identify players who might be good hires and a way to gauge interest in new skills and content. I could see a world where bosses, boss mechanics, items, or even quests spawn from private server content. As for I would use private servers, I could see myself using it someone can get up a server like the beta servers. Being able to practice or learn a new skills, like tank testing or pking, and content, like the Inferno or 6:0 Bandos, with zero consequences would be massive. I feel like a lot of players are afraid to engage in new content they deem hard, and giving them a permanent resource that would allow them to learn with zero strings attached would be a huge first step to helping people engage with harder content they never thought they could do.

I have played many private servers and have enjoyed the ones closest to the main game (no custom BS) with improved drop rates and xp rates. One of my best experiences with "runescape" was playing a pretty heavily populated (around 1000 players, sometimes more) private server. It had nearly everything in OSRS as a 1:1 copy in the private server. Raiding, combat, skilling, minigames. It all felt nearly identical to the main game. I had never played an iron man before and made one on the server. I maxed, grinded raids with friends, got nearly BIS all items. It was so much fun.

As someone who played this game, what feels like 20 years ago, the thing that stopped me playing is the pvp. I would pay for a private server for myself and friends to play on, just to avoid the part of the game I dislike enough to quit to not engage with at all.

My biggest reason for being on-board with player-run private servers is that it's *massively* helpful to Jagex for R&D. Private servers, *especially* if they implement something that generates metrics like the Steam Workshop, would be massively useful testing grounds for what mechanics players like and what ideas players hate. They could put out their own tweaks and test new updates that players could opt into, without desecrating the main game that the really hardcore players have defended for so long. It would be a way for Jagex to test out ideas in an environment where the cost of failure is far lower, get much more immediate feedback from players, and even work out kinks with the system and address bugs ahead of time before releasing anything to the main game. Like, there are a bunch of reasons why official private servers would be amazing, but that's the biggest in my book. Definitely something I'd want Jagex and the community to work on a lot more before pushing anything, though. That sort of thing is something that needs extreme consideration before anything is pushed to the public.

I don't care about pservers (also btw you don't need botting on pservers, xp rates are just inflated to varying degrees on most servers precisely for the reason you give, the kind of ppl who play pservers want fast progress) But as to the rest of your point, yeah the game is repetitive and indeed can be tedious, that's the nature of the game it's, a huge part of its identity is that it's a grindy game, and yeah, not everyone likes that, but everyone has a choice to _not play runescape if they don't like it._ If play actively, and yet also actively dislike the grind, I cannot relate to you in the slightest. The idea of doing something leisurely and disliking it to the point of actively complaining about it makes zero sense to me... It would be like saying "I don't like chess because it's too slow and requires too much patience, but I'm gonna keep playing it and just moan about how boring I think it is and wishing it were different" Sure, go make up your own new chess-like game with your own custom rules, all power to you. But respect that chess is chess, and you are under no obligation to like, nor play it. To be clear, I'm not a purist who thinks xp rates should never be changed, and kept to be as slow as they are, hell I'm maxed and I'm all for new methods to make the grind less tedious, and increase xp rates (to an extent of course), but if you think most bots are just regular players trying to skip the grind which is exactly your implication, you're sorely mistaken... The VAST majority of bots are bot _farms_ which exist solely to make irl money, run by people who don't actually play nor care for the game, which is harmful to the game in several ways. Only a small fraction of bots are regular players trying to speed up progress, and strangely, from masses of anecdotal evidence, those players seem to get banned far FAR more thoroughly than the large scale bot farms. Just hearing all the stories of people getting banned from using AHK to simplify basic repetitive tasks, while seeing the hundreds bots with over 100m xp in various skills still botting in game kind of says it all. WHEW. Long comment, but hey if we're gonna discuss it let's discuss it. People always freak out at comments longer than 12 words on YT, which is sad. People used to write letters to each other to have conversations once upon a time. */GHASP* Last note, I'm not "coming at you", none of this is intended to be upsetting. People often jump the gun and take offense when someone disagrees with them on the internet. It's just a disagreement, and an argument for my point, nothing more.

​@@TheRealLAC It is pretty long for a youtube comment yeah. But honestly I don't get why people think it's such a bad thing to type more than two sentences on the internet. Really feels like the tiktok attention span era has taken over. Like I said, once upon a time, people used to write letters just to converse, like, multiple A4 pages front and back and it was perfectly ordinary, but these days people find it so socially unacceptable to have a written discussion with arguments longer than a few words at a time, to the point of feeling compelled to say "woah you wrote such a long comment"... Realistically it shouldn't take someone any longer than _1 minute_ to read the "long" comment I wrote, if that's too much for someone to read (who has already engaged me in conversation by replying to my first comment), well, that's depressing.

I thought Taming would have been an excellent way to add a summoning like skill, but allow Jagex to revamp everything people hated about summoning.

My favorite private server was armyscape. They crammed everything into lumbridge castle and I learned that making the world smaller, that increased interactivity. They also made all of the good gear lost on death, so there was a good risk in pking. Partyhats had strength bonus which I still think is genius.

You know what would be good for them to release regarding the "completely new game set in the world of Gielinor"? Armies of Gielinor back from funorb days (and arcanists, that game was incredible)

I think that the quest bosses lately have all been really cool, but I have one issue, which is communicating mechanics to players. The last boss of Beneath Cursed sand made me MAD, solely because I didn’t know what the mechanics were, and basically every guide I found was, in hind sight, meant for player ten combat levels higher than I was. Once I found a guide that told me NOT to DPS check the shadow attack and instead just attack the actual boss (not the shadow clone) to cancel their attack, it was EASY, but I that found that guide in some random Reddit thread. The game itself did not communicate that to me at all, and even the wiki didn’t have the info I needed to beat the boss reasonably. Osman was right there, it would have been nice if they added a text option for tips on how the boss actually worked, or something like that.

Private servers could and absolutely would reach the more casual fanbase, almost exclusively. Think of games like Minecraft, Rust, and tons of other MMOs with thriving private servers (WoW Ascension springs to mind, decent pop for a private server). Might even bring new players. Making servers just for friends/families/co-workers etc, creating servers with special conditions like a Zombie Apocalypse RS, or Goblin overlord where all the major cities are now controlled by goblins and humans are living in smaller settlements scattered around the world, some sort of alliance gangwar server where the world is split into 4 separate faction segments with a neutral open PvP zone with different influential objectives. As a game designer I love the idea of hosting a unique set of servers specially handcrafted with unique ideas.

Yes please. No other players thank you perfect runescape 😍

Holy shit dude you willed when guthix sleeps into existence

got the discord notif, had to one tick that play button. lets gooo

i havent played runescape regularly in over 15 years. introducing private servers and tools would absolutely get me to play nonstop again

I cracked at the shunning of RS. Me, (31 now) we thought those who played RS, and were good at it, were absolute LEGENDS.

I think area locked irons could be fun with something like the trailblazer region system. (How it automatically unlocks stuff that is majority in the region you're locked to but you need to do like one step elsewhere)

24:28 By content removed from the game I can only think of discontinued items (such as holiday items or items such as half jug of wine, broken axe heads, and makeover vouchers), or discontinued random events (ie. Guardians, exploding rocks, abyss teleport random), or possibly areas that still exist in game but were made inaccessible. Though most of these would likely continue to go unused since most of these are kind of useless.

Yes to all of the player created content. Very fun, and bold for the game's longevity. Completely agree with the Quests standpoint. If you want to be the World Guardian and each quest to feel like a Short Story or Novel: RuneScape 3 already does that very well. If you want to be an adventurer struggling against the odds to get some cool stuff after a brief encounter with a few bosses or item gathering escapades: that's where OldSchool thrives.

Why do they keep teasing the idea of adding updates without player input? The entire foundation of osrs was specifically explained to be player feedback driven ONLY.

I love the idea of private servers and a server browser like valve game to see them all. I also like the idea of creating a closed ecosystem of 2000 bots on a private server and seeing what they need to do to fully sustain themselves.

I get excited every time I see that you've uploaded a video. I love your production quality and I respect and agree with most of your takes, and the ones I disagree with give me food for thought. You're my favorite OSRS content creator and just wanted to tell you, J1mmy. Keep up the great work, you are bright spot in people's lives and you should never underestimate how much positive impact content creators can have on the faceless hundreds of thousands who watch.

No worries Jim, I'll stop watching the winter summit just for you brother!

You could honestly, with the whole "player created quests" segment, create a "what if..."(like marvel yes) new time line storyline. Main quests where the villain won, other major npc died or stepped in. Imagine zanik being a major villain, The HAM a bunch of peace loving hippies, you name it. Create a way for players to step into seperate timelines via the Making history quest or w/e and let players go wild.

I would have so much fun writing new quests if we get those private servers. I am already looking forward to it

The best part of summoning was the slight dopemine you would get from killing a monster when you got charms. I just wish they would implement something similar for other skills. Say like you get a rare drop and it allows you to make 100 blood runes for xp if you have the level while only taking up one space. Or you get some metal fragment which gives you a temporary smithing speed bonus. Or a piece of bait that gives you 10 fish at a fishing spot and the xp. Have them be rare and untradeable. Not saying to give me 5000 xp but more like 1-2k depending on what you are doing. The worst part of RS3 was "here is 50k for anything", and all you had to do was an encounter.

One thing I really liked from Eve Online was an official server where stuff is essentially free, using your regular skill levels. This allowed you to test mechanics and practice for free. Like, imagine practicing Jad over and over before your first cape attempt without having to wait 1hr+ in-between attempts

With manscaped one could only imagine how his balls are like too

Couldn’t disagree more on the optional dialogue (and that’s ok). I really liked a Kingdom Divided for the fact that it actually tells a story in a natural way. The characters felt a lot less like game objects to interact with and more living and breathing. People don’t talk in a list of “the next step is____.”

My private server would create several low-mid game bosses to show Jagex how to introduce challenging content at a slow and diverse pace, but not actually play them. More a proof of concept. Scurrius was a step in the right direction but he still has several mechanics.. Dodge falling things. Pray Range Pray Mage Pray Melee Deal with Adds DPS Race b/c he heals. That's way too many mechanics for an introductory low level boss, but it's great for intro to high level because failing the mechanics doesn't 1 shot you. Low level bosses should have 2-3 mechanics each. Boss melees + stomps ground to make things fall. 2 mechanics, 1 can be avoided with protect melee. Boss sends walls of fire with a gap, attacks with magic - 1 can be avoided with protect mage. Boss rotates between a magic attack and a ranged attack - prayer switch mechanic, that's it Chess board arena where you can only damage the boss if you're standing on correct colored tiles, and he uses ranged only - teaches positioning without being overly punishing Plenty of easy options with mechanics without being overly complex to introduce players to using these mechanics so they are prepared for the very challenging end game.

Ok hear me out.. I am a big video game player. Played more games than anybody over the past 25 years. Jagex flying out players, to an in-person event is SUCH a good idea. That is a community really coming together and enjoying their passion for the game. Quite certain games like CSGO and games by bethesda have done similar events.

I agree with you that there needs to be a monetary incentive for community submissions to the Jagex client. It feels wrong for Jagex to rely on community support to make the game better (or even playable in some cases) without anything given in return. As for how that would look, the only one that makes sense to me is an amount paid out per number of active users with that plugin. I doubt it would ever be a number that someone could live off of, at that point Jagex might as well give them a salary. I think you put it well, it just feels weird.

Dateable Zanik companion. Poll done.

Fun to hear world of warcraft's Elwynn Forest music on your video :P (or.. it's giving me Westfall vibes..) Also, if I could I'd create a private RS server with chatbot NPCs all set to let me play the game like Dungeons and Dragons. I get pulled into the start of a new plot, I ask NPCs about stuff I'm looking for, eventually find where to go, sudden combat scenario's etc. etc., reworked combat to fit the new playstyle.

W take on the summoning. i really miss it

I think that hosting private servers is the way forward. There's only so much that can be done traditionally with the limitations the game has. It would be the next logical step from the polling system that literally puts the game into the hands of players. The possibilities are endless like the CSS servers of old. We've seen how incredibly well transformative content has done here on KZread, and the likes of Ironman and Leagues. I can definitely see it attracting a lot of renewed interest and be a new way for creators to interact with viewers. From Retro servers to region locks, irons and tiles, Darkscape to Prop Hunt and much more. Pure servers, custom skills, storytelling and role-playing, even that Ruthless mode that you turned your nose up at. Giving players the tools to create their own fun is what keeps the game relevant, and it offers incredible value for money. It also has the added benefit of putting third party RSPS on notice by competing directly and offering a better service.

Custom servers is basically converting runescape into a sandbox of possibilities. Sounds like a great idea. ONLY downside is the possible loss of playerbase in the main server. I don't know how impactful that will be, but it's something to consider.

@checker297

i think one thing that custom servers will do is significantly kill botting as lots of the players who regularly buy gold are only doing so to do activities like pking. Also would be interesting to see how they charge for private servers, would it be via bonds? Straight cash and how much would it costs for each character to play in a custom server.

I think it would be sick if there was a private server where you had a limited amount of points to set your max skill levels for each skill. So like you can spend points making it so your max strength was 99, max attack was 99, etc. but other skills had to be capped lower. You would still have to level the skills but you would reach a cap. It would basically let players make custom classes for their characters and determine which quests and content you could do.

I somewhat agree with the quest boss argument at 21:20 - things like Vorkath and Glough should be difficult. But the Champion of Scarabas is currently kicking my ASS 😭

I've realized over my time being subbed to this channel that I share a lot of Jimmy's opinions and find that when I talk about things to other players, Jimmy makes a video about it and it makes me feel really validated. Keep it up, man.

The OSRS quest tab is what makes me love OSRS so much. The quests, the strangers, the rewards, the monsters to slay, treasure to find... To me it is just wonderful. It is a list of fantastic stories that make Runescape what it is.
