If you were transported into Runescape where would you choose to live?
For me it's catherby. A quiet fishing community where you can earn a good honest living, around other nice people. The virtuous camelot castle and seers village within walking distance, and plenty of new interesting adventurers always stopping by your small town.

Ape atoll, as a monkey of course
I want to get into this game but it takes so much to get started. Like I want to be a mage but to even start requires fricktons of runes
buy bonds and bot until you're maxed and thats when the real game starts anyways
This tbh
I payed $230 for someone to carry me through monkey madness and it was the best purchase I've made
Unless you were escorted from tutorial island to monkey madness with this purchase, how the hell do you struggle this much to need to pay $230 for that quest? I sucked ass at the original game as a kid, and I was scared of even doing this quest in OSRS as an adult. I would not consider doing monkey madness worth $230 once all was said and done.
>paid $230 to get carried through a 1 hour quest that you can blast straight through with runelite
Holy fricking shit lmao
That takes me back. I was one of the first guys to complete that quest, and afterwards I hung around Ardougne Zoo as a monkey talking to passersby
how old were you
Leaving out using the GE. Early mage runes are dirt cheap, the mage tutor gives free ones and rune packs from shops basically invalidate needing to bother with rune crafting. If you go p2p the guardians mini game is a good way to get a mix of money making/rune crafting. As far as training, F2p is always gonna be a slower method but there's a lot of p2p quests/achievements to boost your level.
You get 10k gold if you run through the Stronghold of Security, which can buy you enough runes to get close to 30 mage.
Rimmington for me, also a quiet life by the sea.
i'd live in priff and have a cute elf gf
I don't play runescape, pick other game.
ardougne
>constant pickpocketing
>lying government
>guards are trapped inside buildings
>small business owners lose millions in product theft
>other half of the city is a ghetto
wow. nice city you got there
Ardougne still feels like a theme park compared to the other cities in the game. Never liked it.
How so? Playerwise in actual pre07 runescape, it felt like a quaint town with lovely homes.
Just, don't look at the decrepit wall behind the castle. Don't think about it. Don't point it out. Keep enjoying your stroll from the stalls to the pub?
It was like the first big "city" kingdom in the game, even grander than varrock or falador who seemed relatively fledgling.
the old nite memorial.
2004scape soon bros
>2004scape
>it's real
hol fug
Assuming Gielinor becomes real so everything doesn't look like shit i'd want to live in Falador.
Lunar Isle with the hot blonde floating chicks
In a house.
Draynor Village. A little weird, but mostly comfy small town with banking services
Draynor and Port Phasmatys were comfy.
where is varock
Gnome Stronghold, deliver food and live in the company of gnomes. What could be better?
gnomes are buttholes
Only one (1) gnome is an irredeemable butthole
fishing lvls?
77 I really don't want to do more Tempoross or AFK barb fishing
>AFK barb fishing
thats what im doing right now
i prefer 3t but for some reason i cant interact with the game without wanting to close it
I've been glassblowing for the last 6~ hours trying to get 85 crafting so I can finally boost for this Zenyte drop I got. Even just half paying attention this shit is fricking miserable.
Why do you do this to yourself? Why not play a better game?
Prif

I've been playing Runescape on and off since 2005. I've never gotten a skillcape. I've never done PKing or bossing. I've never afk grinded for hours or advanced to the "endgame". I just enjoy logging in when I feel like it and wandering the world and doing whatever catches my eye. Runescape to me is the most engrossing and immersive video game world I know. It just feels weird to know that >90% of players approach the game completely differently.
the min/max idea of exp waste killed the game, or at least made it even deader than it had been
What kind of things do you do?
I mean, I'll train skills and kills mobs and do quests, just at a much more leisurely pace and disorganised fashion than most players do. Sometimes I'll wander around the world and go some place just because I feel like it. I'll explore a building or area I've never examined closely before, I'll talk to an NPC I never have before, I'll kill a monster I never have before just to see what it will drop. I'll train a skill using a method that I haven't often used just for the novelty of it. When I do quests I'll space them out so I can savor each one.
i wish they'd have some kind of bonus for doing obscure things. kind of like pets or cosmetic gear maybe, but for individual interactions. so something that would otherwise be incredibly counterproductive or pointless, like basketweaving (spending 10k to make a 1 gp basket lol) would have a purpose. maybe it'd make it so you get a cosmetic version of the item you create
You have to be careful with that, because adding rewards for that stuff compromises the idea of doing something for its own sake. Just look at achievement diaries: they started as a way to get players to do overlooked activities, but now they're just more fodder for the completionist's checklist
>tfw my going into game machine ran out of battery
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How do we feel about new Gowerscape?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2791440/Brighter_Shores/
graphics are soulless unfortunately
>leaning into the idle game aspect--Runescape's original sin--instead of the retro Ultimaesque design that made the original so unique
pass
supposedly he's trying to move away from idling but won't actively prevent it.
The initial impression i get is it'll be more social-focused.
Don't like the episodic update nature though.Or the weird alias for yearly(?) members sub
>f2p
I'll give it a shot and tell you later, but judging from the sreenshots looks alright although the graphics are giving me the same vibe as those free dnd5e build your own dungeon or online DM helper toolkits and it's throwing me off
Looks interesting maybe if it has a good social aspect and leans harder into the adventure game design.
wizards tower
for entertainment we laugh at the demon in the cage
I remember back in the day when there would always be a couple people hanging out there practicing magic on the demon in every f2p world
draynor manor because i like spooky stuff
