@imvamieriguess I'm literally playing RS3 Ironman right now. I enjoy RS3 and want to see it grow.

Apparently advocating for a fresh economy and an opportunity to attract new players means I'm an OSRS player who hates RS3?

Not everyone criticizing the current state of the game is against it.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

I really don't understand why players were so against Reignited. It was a great opportunity for new/returning players to play a game where the economy wasn't infested with P2W slop and gold inflation. Now you REALLY won't be playing with new players because they won't play at all

We've got some important news to share about RuneScape Reignited.

@UTDBradleyCarl I get the joke but why does the summer couple look like twin brothers?

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@austin420k I agree Jagex needs to invest in the existing game. But why does that make Reignited a bad idea?

A fresh start isn't just removing MTX. It's rebuilding progression and the economy alongside others.

Improving RS3 and attracting returning players aren't mutually exclusive.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@eswordsman2 I agree, the Timing is the only issue I have with it. But this announcement isn't a "We'll do it later when WoW: forever isn't a thing or GTA 6 isn't releasing or HC Worlds for OSRS" It's a "We heard the Vets bitching, we aren't doing it anymore"

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@austin420k That's exactly the point. Reignited wasn't about competing with accounts that have 25 years of progression. It was about starting fresh alongside everyone else.

It's not the same experience when you're entering an established economy versus helping build one from scratch.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@austin420k Who said I hate RS3? I actually quite enjoy it. I enjoyed it during Leagues so much, I started an IMand have been enjoying progressing. A lot of people don't like playing IM. So why not let players have an opportunity to come in on an equal playing field and be involved?

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@Moaxzytv @Sadwz3 @damiel_smith What do you mean "who fucking cares"? Every single person that clearly is saying they will not play unless there is an option to avoid the tainted economy that currently exists. That's who fucking cares you ignorant piece of gatekeeping shit.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@alex_mattee @Lucas202261 @NadyaNayme You can't be so far out of touch with the game that you don't realize there hasn't been FSW worlds for RS3 since 2023 right? Also Leagues is what got me into playing an Ironman now. But not everyone likes the Ironman playstyle and loves the non-tained player driven economy.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@Mwargo91 Gold swapping is definitely another concern, but OSRS has its own botting and RWT problems independent of RS3's MTX history.

That's part of why I liked Reignited: a fresh economy without years of accumulated wealth or MTX-driven progression, rather than inheriting those issues.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@Matt79213 Proteans replaced traditional skilling resources, lamps/ bonus XP let players bypass hours of training, and skilling dummies offered another shortcut. All obtainable through MTX.

That's the P2W baggage I'm referring to. Removing those doesn't undo years of accelerated progress.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@Sadwz3 @damiel_smith You're right about direct GP creation, but that's not MTX's entire economic impact. Lamps, bonus XP and proteans also affect supply, demand and progression.

Reignited wasn't just about removing MTX. It offered a fresh economy without decades of accumulated baggage.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@MQCcape @RSSabob Where are these 95% and 25% figures coming from? You're treating hypothetical losses as facts while completely dismissing potential growth.

A fresh economy doesn't erase 25 years of progression. Existing RS3 accounts don't suddenly become worthless because another option exists.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@iShroudey That's a fair concern, but it assumes Reignited would primarily pull players from existing RS3. The opportunity was attracting people who wouldn't otherwise return.

If those players aren't playing RS3 anyway, are we really splitting the playerbase or potentially growing it?

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@iShroudey What's contradictory? RS3 struggles to attract and retain players, and Reignited offered a chance to change that with a fresh economy free of years of MTX baggage.

Criticizing a game's decline while supporting an attempt to revive it isn't hypocrisy.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@BurntHouseReal Check all my history of VODs, I don't stream OSRS or RS3. I barely stream anything as it is. Runescape is for me. It's a game I've loved since I was a kid and was disappointed to see how it evolved. I was truly excited for Reignited to share with friends who won't try it now.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@damiel_smith I'm actually playing an ironman and enjoying it. But there are many others that don't like the ironman play style because they like playing in a player driven economy but don't want to get involved with an existing economy that's been artificially inflated.

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@BurntHouseReal “What community?” was clearly rhetorical. I never claimed the community doesn't exist. My point is that it's shrinking, and Reignited offered an opportunity to reverse that. You're arguing semantics while completely ignoring the actual issue: how does RS3 attract new/returning?

[TPLivewire @TPLivewire]

@BurntHouseReal Instead of insults maybe you can prove you aren't a "fucking idiot" and explain. Splitting up the community? What community? The player count is at an all time low and getting lower by the day.

@NathanKb_ Or get hired on as the CTO, while also being part owner of an over seas outsourcing/contracting company and decide to let go a lot of your salaried employees and replace them with contracted employees and get kick back for each contract you get.
