    I’m honestly surprised that not more OSRS players jumped. 3rd party clients and tools are the life blood of the game for many. If anyone should understand the loss it should be us.

      It’s weird right? After the 48 hour blackout, the community was just filled with “well, that was completely pointless, I missed my content!”, when you think they’d understand the issues considering what’s happened with RuneLite in the past.

        You forget it’s OSRS players who are also redditors. 99% of that demographic is just going to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, and leaving reddit was the last thing they were going to do once people told them it was important.

        if stuff doesn’t actively affect people personally, they tend to be apathetic about it unfortunately

      People were surprisingly apathetic to the call to arms I feel like. I hope the response isn’t that mild when jagex eventually maybe tries the same thing

      I think for PC people, yes. But a huge chunk of players are mobile, and probably never touched runelite.

        Sure but I imagine a 95% of the reddit users are PC players so the point still stands. It’s probably do to exposure. I wouldn’t know a thing about Lemmy had I not researched alternatives myself.

        edit: you were referring to runelite usage, not PC. oops
