Like they used to in the rpg and mmo side of OSRS Gold the market there are to many games now times to encourage numbers. Shooters sure that they come and go every year and always have, only CS holds players. RS3 includes a good 20-30k on pretty much at any given time. With upward of like 45k at peaks. It would be somewhere in the mid to low 20's in position on steam charts if we are comparing to steam graphs. That is actually a really good spot to be in considering that's where lots of the more popular games set on steam graphs such as ESO and fantasy.
My guess is that it's likely to be an entirely new and different MMO rather than remastering the very old code we play now, I do not think they think that it's worthwhile to remaster RuneScape in dread of it being unsuccessful and result in loss of gamers. Brand recognition is potentially the best marketing tool there is, particularly when it's one using the amount of nostalgia which Runescape brings to a lot of men and women. The rumours of RuneScape: Remastered are that it is a completely new game that shares some lore from RuneScape, but would be put a bit later in the timeline and have an entirely new world (maybe sharing some of the very same areas as the recent RuneScape, but rebuilt from the ground up with no grid system and other limitations of the old engine).
It is probably only known as"RuneScape Remastered" for marketing purposes. There are a slew of those who played RuneScape at a certain time in their lives, but aren't actively after the news around Jagex. If they launch a game called"RuneScape Remastered" that they will likely get a lot more traction on the internet than if they'd launch a completely distinct MMO with a completely different title.
Another MMO attempted - Runescape is life
I need to agree despite the downvotes. I got hauled into Final Fantasy XIV together with my friends and I feel trapped because the housing market so is financial space and is really bad. I am paying extra for retainers since I can not hold my things for crafting together with the 2 they provide. And I need to keep my sub-par or I lose my home and it is incredibly hard for one to start with. There's limit spaced so people have to fight them over. I was blessed to be at the right place at the ideal moment. Last month I finished the story and I'm sitting like. What's there for me? Nothing of value at all.
All that is left for me to do would be level other combat classes, grind eden raids every week for equipment that's only good to earn eden raids easier, or perform Ultimate raids, that only exist to allow you to suffer and get a name for bragging rights (It takes some type WEEKS of attempt to defeat ultimate experiences ).While grinding for equipment sounds good, I am not allowed to sell gear obtained from raids and dungeons. So there is literally nothing of value from doing for me to benefit. Money in general is hardly worthwhile anyways considering there is just 3 realistic applications for cheap RS gold it: Being too lazy to craft, wanting to overmeld your gear (think reinforces in RS, but it merely raises raw stats), or housing.
