>Not Training Cooking in the Rogues Den for dem afk gains

You Absolute Mad lad!

There are several features old and new I never had much care for. Rogues Den seemed too complicated and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Thieving Skill.

I was always hanging around in Catherby fishing and farming when I wasn’t doing my favorite, the Slayer Skill. I think my level is currently at 89 or somewhere in the high 80s.

But one thing I absolutely hate is, yes, the Wild. That place is hell and for me has been nothing but empty promises and tricks spawned by Zamorak himself. If you have a Skull and Crossbones over your character, you are a User who is wicked and has no soul. Full Stop.

Don’t even give me that “Don’t want to be PK’d don’t go into the Wild” bullshit.

I understand how it is. We all want those wilderness gains without the wilderness risks. I don't know if OSRS has a similar method at all but with RS3, you can change your language from English to another language when opening the client, French and Deutsch comes to mind, and then only worlds specific to those languages will be accessible. I mean these worlds are filtered out entirely if your language is set to English.

In my experience, not many people bother with those worlds at all leaving the population to like... 30 people at times. I've even seen it as low as the single digits. When Archaeology released, I found it absolutely impossible to compete because so many people were hogging the material nodes. Thanks to that trick though, I was able to maintain a spot in the top 100 ironman accounts for Archaeology by day two. Sadly, I had to return to work and I fell off pretty quickly but I did really well just after release.

Anyway, if OSRS has a similar trick, it may help you minimize the risk of being PK'd. Could be worth looking into.

I didn’t give a damn about gains, or getting other drops. I had to go into the wild for clue scrolls. I was duped by that Sapphire spawn at the Spider Hill. The first time I ever saw the Chaos Elemental I had never been so afraid of anything in a video game.

All I wanted was to not have to get so frantic every single time I see a White Dot appear on my radar without thinking “Bloody Murder.”

I was there when the Wild was “ruined” in 2008, and I was glad to finally see karma hit these children.

Does OSRS still have wilderness/pking in every world or did Jagex ruin that for a third time?

It still does, as previous users mentioned. There's also a few global PVP worlds where you can PK anywhere (except for certain areas surrounding certain banks), and yes that includes your player-owned house. There's also the Deadman servers but I'm not really sure how those work since the tournaments were indefinitely stopped. That last one's a bit complicated as they're separate servers with completely different game mechanics, but the official wiki should have a good explanation.

There's also a huge wilderness update coming out later this year but there's little information on what that entails for the time being. I hope the wilderness update goes well; I'm not an active PKer (in the sense that I don't go out and hunt down other players), but it's fun doing bossing or skilling or slayer in the wildy then trying to either defend yourself or escape - nothing more fun than outsmarting some scrub clanlets.

FYI the best in slot zero-risk wilderness gear is the Crystal Bow, Black Dragonhide Body, and Black Dragonhide Chaps (with an Amulet of Glory if you're using the Protect Item prayer). Tanky enough to get you out of danger if you're careful, but just avoid multi-way areas if you can help it.

Actually it's pretty chill usually in the Wilderness, I've had convos with obvious PK'ers who leave you alone if you make it clear you're only questing or something there. You're at the most danger if you're an Ironman or Hardcore trying to do a boss there.

I'm still fascinated by the black market that Runescape/OSRS still has. It's still rife with scammers, cheaters, botters; pretty much everything that you had back in the day. The big addition since then has been the gigantic influx of Spanish-speaking players who are all from Venezuela who sell gold to feed their families because they can make more money doing that than they can from almost any other profession there. I looked up the anti-cheat team lead on Twitter and it looks like, on average, they remove about $33,000,000 worth of gold from the game due to botting and real-world trading every year.

as much as I feel for cubanodom and his people as they suffer under the weight of commies, the idea that some randos dick around online in some ancient mmo and hustle dumb assholes for tree fiddy because that's a jillion commiebux irl is pretty fucking cyberpunk and dank

Good time-waster or multi-tasking game, but I'd be hesitant to post my account on here. The Jagex janitorial team are rumored regularly audit accounts that post in /v/'s OSRS/RS3 general threads (though given it's /v/ they could just be autists in game and asking for it) and I wouldn't be surprised if that wound up happening here. Still if a CC ever starts up I'd probably join.

With regards to the game itself, Jagex has been heavily hinting that a huge update is going to be revealed very soon, and my fingers are crossed for it being Quest 150. My money's on that milestone update being either a retelling of the iconic Return of Lucien storyline or a retelling of the Menaphos storyline, personally. I would be happy with both.

EDIT: And given the game was recently released on Steam, coupled with the fact the official client is borderline-unusable by modern standards and sensibilities, here's a handy way to make Steam boot Runelite instead of the official client:

1. Right-click Old School RuneScape in your Steam library, and select Properties.
2. It should open into the General tab of the Properties by default, so simply type the folder address for your Runelite executable (In my case this looked like "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\RuneLite\RuneLite.exe" %command%).
3. Make sure you include the "quote marks" around the address.

I would not be surprised if this was the case considering how the mod team seems to attract nothing but furries and middle class white women.

Speaking of 4Chan, I would actually recommend the /v/scape private server. I stopped playing on it, but it was pretty damn good when I tried it. It pushed me to try OSRS proper.
 
I messed around with the OSRS mobile app for Android and on PC for awhile during lockdown, not having touched it since 2007 or so. Are the novels as bad as I've heard ?
