> Here's another activity that will probably never exist again: Law running. I remember both being a runner and a crafter. I'm out of the loop (I tried 2007scape but don't play it enough to be in the know). Is it because some other faster way of leveling Runecrafting has become available?

In modern OSRS I believe the main way of training Runecrafting is through the Ourania altar, and at higher levels the Soul/Blood altars, both OSRS-specific (I've used both as an Ironman player, but haven't played in the last few years, so not familiar with newer updates). I suspect Law crafting (with runners) would still be more XP per hour, but I think the player dynamics are quite different nowadays. You used to sp…

Permabanned from r-s gang wya? I miss laughing at 2speced Tyler and Nikki not actually being a girl wasn’t much of a surprise.

It is known that in Runescape "girl" = "Guy In Real Life"

I'd love to see Jagex open source OSRS as a business decision to keep the game alive forever, and for leveraging the dedicated community. Now, I said open source, but that doesn't mean free. Even if the source was available, it would make the most sense if they kept it "non-free", as in, no commercial usage of the source may be allowed. People are free to run their own servers, but the Jagex ones will be "blessed". T…

'Open source' and 'free (as in speech)' are, in the software context, synonyms. It is incoherent to say 'open source but non-commercial'.

I just disagree and use a different definition of open source than you/your sources (many people share my definition, mind you). If the source is open, its open-source. It can be free, commercial, or have any license. I feel like people with the other definition of OS, do it because they have a vendetta against companies that open-source code with a non-free license.

>I feel like people with the other definition of OS, do it because they have a vendetta against companies that open-source code with a non-free license. No. It is because that's what the term means and has *ALWAYS* meant. You don't get to just turn up and change the definition of a term that has been fixed and useful as a term for decades . This isn't the evolution of language. It's just you ignorantly being unaware…

I wonder what the impact of social media has been. 1. I was on Runscape in the early 2000s. There was no Twitter, Facebook was very new and not really that popular, and nothing else existed. Like, I think Gaia was one of the more popular forums I knew of lol. That meant that Runescape was actually a highly social experience - it's insane the kinds of relationships I built as a 14-18 year old who played the game somew…

> Not actually "playing" the game - like, that was something to do for fun, but so much of it was hanging out with people. I think probably far too much about how social media (or, in a broader sense, the mass adoption of the internet) has affected online games like this, and I was really happy to see your point here since this is a thought I've had a lot, but few people seem to understand what I mean when I try to b…
