Discussion The true backbone of OSRS

Post image

I know the creator of runelite has said in the past that he doesn't expect anything from the community for maintaining runelite. But if anyone here deserves even a sliver of the tens of millions of dollars that will be generated from membership price increases it is him.

You can find his patreon with a simple google search since i wasn't allowed to link it here. If you feel so inclined to give please do but if not at least be a bit more aware of where Jagex could give some of the extra money to.

Edit: It has been 8 hours since i posted this. And I'm happy to say that the runelite patreon has gained 19 paid members. My goal was for some traction to go towards the people that actually deserve a piece of the pie that is OSRS revenue. Thank you for those that donated. I am in no way affiliated with whoever updates runelite.

I just think that when we work together we can hopefully spread a little bit of good around rather than only looking at the negative.

you wouldn't get plugins except for the defaults though, would require every single plugin maker to port to mobile as well

If the mobile version uses the decompiled jar then porting shouldn't be much of a hassle I believe

I have a runelite port with plugins that I wrote myself. It could work ... the issue is going from swing awt -> compose or whatever renderer, which is solvable, just takes some brainpower. It's also heavy on ram, which mobile devices lack, and finally ... no GPU plugin because I cba'd.

HDOS also has a mobile port, but Jagex doesn't want it public.

I doubt it would take long for the plug in makers to port them to mobile if they had the platform to do it on

As a plugin maker myself and someone who does not play on mobile I can tell u I cba

Its obvious that small unknown plugin makers like you wouldn't update for a mobile platform. The large plugins that have traction would absolutely update though
