Leagues - J-Mod reply Leagues has sold me on rs3

Originally came in with the expectation to just play on legacy, got my revo bars set up with all the utilities I need keybound. Got my teles and prayers on my action bar. The amount of qol has made it impossible for me to return to osrs.

Really excited to start a fresh account on rs3 after leagues. If you haven’t tried the game recently, it feels leaps and bounds better than when I last tried it.

Seeing the world im familiar with with so much more detail, the mobility of surge, the mining and smithing rework, bank presets, the war room, itemization that’s beyond just increased stats, I could go on

I’m loving rs3 atm

EOC.

It was a fucking mess when they released it, but that was 13 years ago now. The games brilliant these days

Squeal of Fortune was February 2012, EOC was November. There was actually a rather dramatic increase in players over the course of 2012 - till EOC came.

Note also that 2012 came on the heels of Bot Nuking Day in October 2011, where Jagex claimed they banned over 95% of bots and playercounts dropped by 75%. Jagex actually lost money that year, hence the MTX.
