I got a Shadow Dye from a Treasure Trail today and sold it for 700M! (the most money I ever had before at one time was 9M, so I splurged on stuff and still have more money than I know what to do with. :toot:

Then, while still in the Grand Exchange, I overheard another player explaining to friends that he wasn't in the mood to play much tonight because he just got back from his 3-month-old son's funeral. :stare:

Everything in this post makes me want to play this stupid game again

I got 83 smithing over DXP weekend! If you need gear up to tier 80, message me on Discord with what you need! I will need the materials, either in ore or bar form. If you're low level/f2p I don't need any materials.

Message me at Agoat#1337 if you need anything made. If stone spirits aren't valuable I'll happily take them off your hands as well. (I genuinely have no idea if people keep them or not.)

So I'm struggling to find this information anywhere: I keep seeing people with a stand/walk animation where the left arm is folded behind your back, and the right hand is resting on your hip. It doesn't seem to be listed anywhere, is it an old override that's been removed?

There's a version they dragged kicking and screaming into becoming kind of a good game and a version almost identical to what you remember playing in the middle school computer lab

Goons are also starting to do higher level group content, and the better we get at that the easier it'll be to carry more goons

Decided to make a bit of a checklist since this seems to be a serious consideration in the discord, and here's the rundown on some of the group content (mostly bosses) in the game.

Low to mid level group content

Dungeoneering: Anyone can do. We've carried a few people to high dungeoneering levels to help them unlock Prifddinas, since no one should ever have to suffer through solo dungeoneering.
Low level bosses: Way too many to list. If it was released before Kalphite King, chances are it counts as this.
GWD2 bosses: Need at least 80 in the respective stats to even access. These can be solo'd fairly easily, but if you really need help, a hand can be lended here.
Elite dungeons: Can be soloed but is significantly harder that way. Up to 3 people can tackle these. Probably should ideally have at least t80 weapons and t70 armour for that. (t90 weapons and t80 armour if you're soloing.)
Nex: Though she can be soloed with the right setup. Not really recommended to do that without having some group experience first, though.
Kalphite King: Can be soloed or done with a group. Probably should do it with a group for your first few kills.

High level group content:

Barrows: Rise of the Six: Needs 4 people. Also preferably should have a way to reach the ROTS arena fast to make things more convenient, such as a Draken's Medallion. t80 weapons or better would be ideal.
Vorago: Everyone needs to be able to survive a 50,000 damage hit / number of people fighting him to start the fight. (Damage is capped at 12,500 per player.) This is the point where you should probably have maxed stats or close to max to contribute.

Super duper endgame:

Raids: Up to 10 people can join in. T90 weapons and t80 armour would be ideal, though t80 weapons can be workable with enough coordination as long as enough people have actual endgame gear.
Hard mode Vorago: Everyone needs to be able to survive a 70,000 damage hit / number of people fighting him to start the fight. (Damage is capped at 14,000 per player.)
Nex: Angel of Death: Up to 50 people, though 7 is cited as the ideal team size. You really want max stats and endgame equipment for this when doing it in smaller team sizes.
Solak: Has to be duoed or 7 manned. There's no scaling for it. Also nobody likes doing this boss due to the ridiculous amount of time gates in it, and just how inflexible it is compared to rest of Runescape's bosses. Also the rewards suck. (Hell, RS3's Raid is significantly more straightforward and allows for a lot more flexibility. Especially compared to other MMO raids.) Though if you need the Reaper title, something could probably be arranged.

Think that about covers it.

I've been doing a bunch of Barrows runs lately because uhhh... I can? I guess. If you see rsn: nah bae on at all just ask if I'm up for some and I'll happily go. Willing to mule all your supplies and poo poo too if you're a low/mid level who's not sure about it

e- I also have a bunch of random prawn crackers & poo poo that I'm stockpiling and will continue to stockpile for a couple weeks. If anyone needs to pull some for prawn points/prawn balls or anything like that let me know

Make sure you at least check RS3 out though, it's a lot of poo poo at once but 15 years of fixes and new stuff will be neat to see.

Thanks to Twitch giving out a free month I dove back into OSRS a few weeks ago. It's been nice to just sort of let my nostalgia take the wheel a bit. Some stranger even gifted me a mil while I was training on rock crabs so I could afford the bare minimum in gear.

Some day I may switch over to RS3 when my nostalgia stops keeping me going through the clunk. I stopped playing almost immediately after the EoC update so I have no real attachment to it.

So sometimes I just want to grind out skills in a fantasy landscape while rolling my eyes at dubious chat. This is how I remember Runescape when i was a kid. Does RS3 keep this model of play?

Yes absolutely. More so even, as many skills are nicer to keep at, without needing to run off to a bank or something, then they used to be.

I've been on the phone beta for rs3 for a while now and it's pretty great.
