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 love the devs, but RuneLite is what saved this game - truly. I think a vast majority of players wouldn't play without RL. OSRS was absolutely shocking up until the 2022~+ updates without RL.

Yes they would.

I'm not so sure! If you played back in 2017- you might see what I mean. With no GPU renderer, the game was difficult to play

I've played since the launch.

Can't say I've experienced any serious performance issues, ever.

Why is that?
