Hey there. Our fourth kid just got here, so I’m off the work for a bit and I’ve been logged into Old School way more than a grown man with four kids probably should be. Night feeds, baby finally down, and suddenly I’m at the GE again like it’s 2007.

When RuneScape Reignited actually drops, I want a little list of guys to start with, maybe form a clan, people to actually talk to lol. Not a clan that needs you online every night. More like dads and family guys who can hop on when the house is quiet and pick it back up later without anybody getting weird about xp/hr.

I’m a Christian. Church on Sunday, wife, four little kids, the whole thing. I’d especially like to find some brothers who are on the conservative side of that. Christian nationalist, husband-leads-the-home type guys. Regular Christians are welcome too. If you’re not a Christian but you’re fine hanging out with a Bible guy, you’re welcome as well. I’m not looking to argue in game chat. Just want people I can actually talk to.

If that sounds like you, drop a comment or shoot me a message. Slashorigin in Osrs.

So, there's tons of posts about RS3, Reignited, and the overall tone of that game and what the hell they're actually doing with it.

OSRS is in the really weird space in that we've already been here. We had stuff taken from us, EOC made us walk away, treasure hunter etc. If you played classic or rs2 then made the jump to OSRS we accepted this exact thing. RS3 in our eyes died, and so we had to restart all over again, level 3 accounts. So, we're on the other end of this.

When OSRS itself launched it was more thought to be a temp thing, but a lot of people already effectively had gone through the grief of quitting to come back. Some never came back, a lot of people here never did play the old game.

So while personally I do think reignited is a mixed bag and will have positives and negatives, I think the veteran players can all take a sec and remember this feeling of 'my game is dying'. I went through it with Destiny 2. So some empathy for rs3 players is worth it I think. Is this the actual death of rs3? No clue. But I don't blame people for being upset anyways. They're just starting a process a lot of us already went through.

If you've got stories about quitting and restarting maybe that'll help? Or maybe you are someone who didn't enjoy the restart from rs3 in osrs. Talk about it, we have the actual experience of a very very similar thing and can use that.
