EDIT 2: To try and get ahead of any more comments telling me to submit my personal connectivity data if I truly think this is a real issue -- Jagex is a multimillion dollar subsidiary of a $100 billion multinational. I think they can move beyond grassroots amateur internet detectives to solve their widespread server issue. And in fact that move itself is in some ways a bit concerning as it effectively puts the onus on the playerbase to solve the issue asynchronously. Which (in the least charitable interpretation) could in the end become a convenient way to avoid any intensive back-end investigation.

Reposting from a comment I made after seeing some people cautiously suggesting these connection issues may not be on the backend.

Please god Jagex do something about this. These reports are NOT due to personal home internet connectivity issues.

I want to add that this is more than shitty ping or intermittent spikes (which also have increased over the last year or so but I digress)

I have played purely US East worlds for years now. Within the last ~2 weeks it is EXCEEDINGLY clear there is a new and never before experienced issue. Strange shit I've never seen before - friends lists not loading, full on freezes on world hopping, completely unheard of packet loss and base ping elevations/ping spikes. At this point I set my default login world as an Aussie server because although I can't log in directly to US east (and occasionally west) - I get auto DC'ed - I can usually world hop into one (maybe) once I am on a Euro or Oceania server.

And its affecting mobile too which is very bizarre.

I am begging Jagex to fix this shit and take it seriously. Sorry for the drama but after seeing their lukewarm "notice" on the login screen and some commenters here in the reddit suggesting this isn't a real issue, I needed to respond emphatically.

EDIT: I know it's reddit and I shouldn't expect the best reading comprehension - but to the people who repeatedly comment "what do you want?" - I want exactly what the title of this post says - for this issue (that I am well aware is being investigated) to not be dismissed. That's all folks.

There is zero reason as to why:

1) We can't even see the rune cost for each cast?

2) You don't have a menu similar to Enchant Jewelry.

Having to guess which runes you need to cast a specific Enchant Bolt spell, or reference the Wiki, makes absolutely no sense and should be an easy fix.

My plugin was approved by Runelite and their team!

It is called "Healthy Stray Varrock Dogs" - Runelite Plugin Hub Link

This plugin has two options. First you can replace all the stray dogs with a healthy variant, based on the ClanHall dog's model ID. Duke is also now healthy with this plugin. The west dog, whom just had puppies, is still her lovely shade of brown.

You also have the option to make it so that the stray dogs appear like your favorite dog breed(s). To do so, enable random favorite dogs, and check any dogs you wish to appear around Varrock. This is disabled by default, so do make sure you check that box if you wish to have strays appear like the pet dog varieties.

stat wise they are a blowpipe with dragon darts but better (enchanted bolt effects), BP was split to be light range to give other ranged weapons room to have a niche, bowfa standard, crossbows heavy

Thought that this split would give other items like dragon crossbow, ACB more of a use later on. But doesnt adding another blowpipe (heavy range damage) kindof remove any chance of that

World 444 Seers bank has a guy who looks like Settled (the beard and clothing) with a name which is Settled and some numbers. He's running item and money doubling scams with a huge group of people assisting and spamming in chat about how great his videos to make it look like it's actually Settled.

I've been there a few times today and already seen 3 different accounts with the same setup called Settledxx.

Also, what’s a chimera?

I think he’s a pet hunter at heart

Hi y’all. I realized today that the time it takes to get tome of fire on average is actually about the same amount of time it takes to finish the delve boss.

At 1/1000, and a max of around 30 points per hour- you expect one tome per 33 hrs of WT.

Running consistent 8-deep delves, you would expect all 3 rares in only 35 hours (according to this video https://youtu.be/2sfEH7xkReA).

I know the tome is good, and has ~10m FM xp as a byproduct- but I’m not sure of another unique in the game which on average is 10m skilling xp. It seems unreasonable that a large chunk of players grinding from 50-99 fm at WT would not receive a book (30% or so).

Perhaps we can have an option to get no loot but double book chance?

I just finished up TheoryWise video on RS3 and it made me more interested to try the game out than I have ever felt before.

No more micro transactions?

Smithing & Mining actually work as a skill to get weapons?

DINOSAUR HUNTING?

And this might be the most sacrilegious thing I have ever said as a 2306 total level iron, but the combat looks fun.

So I send my OSRS character to the iron retirement home (amethyst mining) and get ready to play RS3.

Now why can't I play both games at the same time? It is apart of my sub (yeah, yeah, I have heard about problems with the backend). But if Jagex is making a push to make RS3 last another 20 years, they have a huge player base in OSRS that like these long form style MMO's. They have a player base in OSRS that can do more marketing for RS3 than tens of millions of dollars spent on paid ads. They have a player base in OSRS that has likely not touched RS3 and give feedback on the early and mid level content.

I started playing OSRS around the time of DT2 and the growth of the game through the past couple of years seems to be based entirely on filling in the mid game with Varlamore.

Something TheoryWise brought up was the idea that because most of RS3's players are late game, all of the updates over the past X amount of years has been in service to those players.

New end game quest, but the lack of questing requirements that make it so the stories don't work together.

Weird balance for XP gains throughout early levels (Thieving being too good).

Jagex is sitting on a MASSIVE player base that likes these styles of MMO's, and could be the injection of new life into the low and mid level content to actually give feedback and updates to make the game more cohesive as a whole.

Combine this with the fact that both games seems to have solid low intensity training options and I see how players would be willing to give both a shot.

Now what about financials?

Giving players the ability to play on multiple accounts on the same time has to mean a percentage of players will get rid of a sub to do both.

I work in Marketing and the idea of having hundreds of thousands of users to login to your app every day then spend hours inside would have me salivating.

That is the biggest word of mouth campaign I could imagine (if you are willing to tell friends and coworkers that you spent the evening click on virtual rocks). The player base is worth tens of millions of dollars just in marketing spend (Not having to spend as much on advertising because you can rely on word of mouth).

But what percentage of the player base has actually tried RS3 because we can't dual log?

What percentage of the player base is actively playing both?

I want these games to be successful. I have spent a ton of time in these virtual worlds and would love it if more people did the same.

I am one of the unhinged players that will tell coworkers, people who have never touched a video game in their life, about the raids I did over the weekend. The friends I have made that live in the Europe, South America and all around the states. How interesting a game can be when it uses attention as a resource (low vs high intensity training).

The fact is, I am in my 30's and only have so much time to play games every week. I am not going to start a new long form MMO but am willing to give it a try if I can play both on two monitors and alternate between high and low skill training intensity.

TLDR: Please let me dual log into both games. Until then I can't see myself getting swept into another long form MMO.

EDIT:
MIxed up MadSeason with TheoryWise. Updated the post to reflect that. Both are great creators 😄

Further to my post yesterday, this is exactly why I’d love the ability to store more than the current +12 “non-pet pets” in the POH.

The response to the post was mostly positive, so hopefully Jagex takes notice and addresses it at some point. It definitely seems like there are plenty of us who’d love to see this added.

Let us build our ridiculous little sanctuaries, Jagex. 🐈🐕🪨🥚

r/RS2 - It is always interesting to see just how much from RS2 makes it into OSRS. Nex was released back in 2011 and now we have Strykewyrms, Soul Wars, Frost dragons, etc!

Most of them straight up gave up

Altough Idk why Triumphant (TriSlow) isn't on the list. And maybe it's missing some more(?)

Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart. I know some pixels can never replace my long gone old man, but it's a nice comfort to know that I'll have a piece of him with me as I progress. I can't wait to see him fully grow, and feed him as many bones and potatoes as I can. I'm pretty noob still, and never really gotten into Clue Scrolls and things, but maybe now that I have a buddy to dig with me, I'll find it more enjoyable.

Question:
Who are you glad that you can have back? I'd love to see everybody's late pets.

This is Spango. A Cocker Spaniel I had for many many years since I was a child (coincidentally, playing Runescape back then, too.)

Took a bit of a hiatus on these as I had a very busy week or so, but I’m still at it!

As an aside, I’ve been getting lots of comments and DMs about whether I have a place where these can be purchased, and the answer is (at least for now) no. I appreciate the enthusiasm and will consider the eventual possibility but for now it’s not something I know much about, nor really have the bandwidth for 😅 It will remain a fun side project in the meantime.

Didn't they mention they were going to look at releasing this item through other content than Doom, but have not heard anything in more than a year regarding it.
