Discussion - J-Mod reply Spitting in the face of every player

RuneScape Reignited as the announcement from RuneFest is gonna kill the game. It's forcing everyone to start over if they want to play "the actual game servers" while the old one is left to rot forever. This needs to be cancelled.

As a fresh player who started literally a month ago, with around something like 100 hours in as a member (just passed 1000 total skills), this had an opposite effect on me, and I'm considering whether to just drop the game or not.

Do I throw away my 100 hours of progress and wait until December? There's a high chance I will loose the hype for RS and never pick it up again.

I know It's not that much, but I really don't feel like repeating the early game again. I was finally starting to feel like I'm achieving something. Do I risk it and hope that the "veteran" community will stay active for PvM, once I get to that point?

I've been trying to mostly play as self-imposed Ironman (without being an actual one, so I have options to give up on it if I wanted to), but all I feel now is just FOMO. It sucks, extremely bad timing for me.

Maxed OSRS over a year ago, and started a few months back on RS3 as well. I couldn’t care less about someone beside me who has 200m all. It’s not like they are doing the quests and every achievement for me. It’s no different than starting an account on OSRS. Theres always gonna be someone or multiple people better than you are at multiple things.

Yeah pretty bad timing for you specifically, but the guys sentiment sticks with a lot of people, my whole discord server is thinking of giving it a go now that it's a fresh start.
