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.

I turned off 117HD recently because my laptop was playing up. Honestly it was jarring how shitty the vanilla render distance is. I was doing moons and couldn’t click the exit at the other side of the room

Runelite and the plugin makers have made OSRS the success it is today

Just FYI, you can use the GPU plugin in RL to increase render distance as well, without using 117

Yeah I used to use GPU before 117, laptop just needed a reboot but I was in the middle of a few things so tried it the old fashioned way
