Last days I feel like we get a lot of trolls about reignited and of course some people who are really disappointed. But seeing this in OSRS reddit made me feel better. They are with us.

Hopes it makes you feel better as well.

Also Jagex will find other ways to make RuneScape great again. We have some talented mods over there.

Signed up my HCIM, A New GIM and my osrs account all to 1 year memberships, to offset some of the "naysayers", (I was never quitting) but I will play a few accounts at once for now, heres to an awesome 2027 ahead, roadmap bee looking fire, plugins on monday make me so excited for my new CGIM I just made (I was making it on plugin release anyhow, but I wasnt going to 12 month it.)

$431.79 AUD, Took it out of my ps5 saving fund, because honestly id rather play rs3 and support this game then play gta 6 at the moment.

Edit: Too those downvoting every comment I make and are upset by this, Its ok, I don't mind, I enjoy playing this game, I will continue to enjoy playing this game, I am sorry reignited didn't go ahead for you, but you're welcome to come play at any time, if you want someone to talk to, Dm me here, ill add you and we can talk, maybe even skill together! if not thats ok too. <3

We were very loud and openly upset about reignited. Jagex has listened the playerbase and reverted the split in playerbase (with every other awesome change still going ahead). But Mod Ryan subtly asked us to be LOUD about how happy we are, just as we were loud when we were unhappy. Let's honour that request.

W Jagex for real. You guys COOKED, the roadmap looks FANTASTIC, and I am truly looking forward to 2027 and beyond. I am also looking forward to December 2 to 12, where many of us veterans will be there to welcome newcomers and help them along their path. I look forward to new players trying this game out, a healthy healing community and to another 25 years.

I look forward to the Adventure Guide, Remastered Journey and many other improvements going ahead as originally planned on December 2 still.

Let's show them some love. They truly deserve it.

Reignited is dead! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5bWocJHxd0

You listened.

You took the community seriously.

You realized that even though you wanted this so bad it wasn't the right fit.

We appreciate you. Thank you.

Serious question: have you guys looked at the reaction to Reignited getting cancelled outside of this sub?

It really seems to me that the potential new and returning players are not here, and they are disappointed.

You can presume and guess how many of them would have remained, but from what I'm seeing a lot more people would have given Rs3 a chance than I would have guessed, and now they won't.

I'm not going to argue either way here, just making an observation.

thank you jagex for listening to players (next time just to a poll though damn)

For people who have been investing years into their accounts and even those that just recently joined, we can continue enjoying our journey in this amazing game.

For those of you who are hesitant to give it a try, there is no better time to start than now, the game is healthier than it has been in so many years and we have more good things coming. Fresh economy or not, the game would have played as you see it now, EoC and all. If the fact that there wont be a fresh economy has discouraged you completely, I again encourage you to give the game a try because RS3 fundamentally has so much to offer, and the players who have been sticking around all of these years are here to help you along.

Reignited was chasing something that cant actually be recreated. A fresh start in the way it was pitched just.. wasnt. We have decades of knowledge about this game and that isnt able to be taken away, and the new reignited version would have quickly become a mirror of the main game. The focus is now on improving the main game, which is how it should have always been.

New players can still have their fresh start as RS3 becomes healthier and returns to its roots, and now it wont be at the expense of calling others to start over either.

On top of appreciation of the decision, also wanted to express a thank you for how that message has been delivered. While of course scripted and corpo-correct, your passion for the game has been heartfelt.

Thank you and looking forward to all the great updates ahead!

Thank you to all the Mods involved in this decision making process. You guys proved today you are different and the game is in good hands.

Ever since Reignited was announced to be cancelled, I'm seeing a lot of posts by people who claim to have been excited to play RSRI specifically because they wanted to start playing a version of the game where everyone started from scratch. But, like, why? If it was something like a fighting game or a tactical shooter I could understand, since those sorts of games tend to have very high skill ceilings that make it difficult for players to get into. Part of the onboarding process with PVP games is learning what weapons and characters and such do and learning matchups, strategies, and combos. For some people, learning to take on an opponent who is much more skilled than you are is part of the intrinsic appeal of those games, as you're literally learning to overcome a challenge that would have previously been impossible.

But RuneScape isn't one of those games. It's a game where you can, if you choose, progress at a very slow, relaxed pace, looking to outside sources of information if you want to learn optimal strategies for skilling, bossing, and even quest orders, but none of that is really required to engage with most of the content in the game outside of the most difficult boss encounters.

RuneScape, uniquely, seems to be a game that people refuse to interact with specifically because it has been around for as long as it has, and I have never seen people voice this specific concern with other games with large, seasoned playerbases.

Seriously. Would these same players log into OSRS, see a player with BiS ranged gear and then immediately lose interest because "I don't want to play catch up with that guy." What about MMO-ish games like Warframe or Destiny? Who in their right mind sees a Guardian wearing cool armor from a Raid or using abilities from a DLC campaign and say, "Damn, he's been playing the game for five years, I'll never do what he does" and leave?

The whole thing reeks of bad-faith engagement with the topic to me.

The post today about reignite being canned “reignited” my trust in jagex, it seems they really have intentions to listen to the player base. With that said I do feel kinda bad for Mod Ryan, his intentions seem pure and we all know how the community can knee jerk to some of the bad ideas proposed, and in a sea of negativity and as a multi decade player I gotta say I appreciate all the mods for what they’ve been doing regarding the road to restoration, it isn’t unnoticed by the community by and large so please keep it up. Very stoked about the content in the year to come, hope we can get some noobs into lumby slowly but surely because it’s so dope to see it popping near the goblins.

Last thing, but I feel like it can’t be said enough, please let us log into rs3 and osrs at the same time ❤️

All these comments from other subreddits raving about how bad this is and that rs3 players are selfish trolls and I'm just like, dude this would destroy the game over the next few years for veterans. Do they not understand that this would have split the playerbase? Like, at all?

We ignited or not a big problem we have is the early and mid game and core functions like clans are pretty bad. We won for better or worse, so I think we educate community should be able to strive to try and compile as many issues and pain points as possible.

Let's make sure that when dec2 rolls in we have as solid an experience as possible, waiting for them. And for the stuff , we can't get done by then , let's be there at the community to welcome new and returning alike and show them the ropes, give them that community that helps keep people around.

Love you guys, see you for the next 25.

Happy Scaping!

Come! we welcome you with open arms! need help? ask away! need guidance? let us help! need some GP? dance 4 phr33 st0fz pl0x!

in all seriousness, we know it's a dramatic show right now, but we just wanna say, we are still here if you ever need help. we don't hate anyone, and we welcome anyone who still want to give RS3 a shot.

This is the way to do it!

And 10 day free membership for new and returning (6+ hiatus) accounts, too.
This will reel in a ton of lasting players, surely!

Thanks for the change Jagex, and great job communicating once again.

I see a lot people chastising the “vocal minority” that are online communities and how they have a disproportionate amount of sway over Jagex’s decisions, but if it weren’t for your loud voices, then those of us who stayed silent throughout the messy discourse -who only voted with our upvotes, likes, and wallets, would not have gotten the outcome that we did today. While next time you may be the voice of opposition, thank you for loudly standing up for what you believe in, so that us quiet types can silently support.

Edit: I don’t actually think that the players who were opposed to Reignited are the minority, hence the “”.

I’m addressing the commonly seen notion that the sentiment voiced by communities like reddit and youtubers are not representative of the broader playerbase. As one who is usually silent, i’m thankful for these voices.

This is for the people who, like me, were excited for reignited. I want to make a case for starting a new account anyway.

I don't know how to define myself. Yes, technically I'm a "veteran" but I've definitely left and come back multiple times. I maxed while MTX and Double Exp was at its most extreme. With each 99 I got, I felt like the achievement just got cheaper and cheaper. Even getting 120 necromancy during double exp felt super easy.

So I was in for reignited. But I understand why so many of my friends would not like it. I'm happy you spoke about your grievances, even though some were not civil about it.

Before anyone recommends OSRS to me, no that is definitely not what I want. I'm one of those minority of players that liked the 6th age and world events. RuneScape 3 is absolutely the game for me.

I'm making a new account, but I don't want to touch the economy right now. Maybe I will on my main later, but I need a fresh start. I'll be making an Ironman and I hope a lot of you that were excited for reignited make main accounts or Ironman accounts to try this great game.

Like many OSRS players I was watching the runefest stream and caught all the RS3 reveals before the OSRS ones. To be honest it sounds like y'all have an awesome year up ahead. The upcoming adventure guide and the remastered journey updates especially piqued my interest, and they still do. I was a little intimidated by RS3 when I tried to jump in during the last league, but having an in-game hand getting started sounds right up my alley. Reignited came as a surprise but sounded cool nonetheless with the other "new" player-friendly updates.

To be honest I'm still as excited and curious as I was, even with reignited canceled. I look forward to taking y'all's game for a spin come December. I'm seeing a bunch of now naysayers in my community and I'm convinced they didnt listen to the rest of the roadmap or video. The vibe I'm getting is there's still plenty of reason to jump in to RS3 as a new player.

So from an OSRS player that quit rs2 back when EOC came out, just want to reassure and let y'all know us interested players are out there and watching, even if the vocal minority drowns us out.
