I really don't think people hate Zanik as a personality but has a issue with cheap OSRS Gold the way Jagex is putting her she does fit into. The Mighty Fall is a perfect conclusion for her narrative arc if you opt to spare her. Her narrative should have just ended there with her top the Bandosian to recover Yu'biusk, to take her fate into her own hands and providing"the Chosen Commander" a completely different meaning: not as a commander in the war of a god she despises, but as a commander of a man to reverse the past mistakes a tyrant had driven them. If Jagex wants to bring her back, I could even argue this opens up the potential for a future fresh Yu'biusk narrative.
Instead where she is honestly quite out of place, then she kinda became this representative of the Underworld. Her story has been about liberty and liberty, about resisting a fate forced upon her from Bandos. Reducing her function into an emissary can simply be described as"odd" at best. Like why place her in a role she's nothing to do with when her narrative has a conclusion that is good? Then. She became this Bandosian digsite's face.
I would not go so far as to say these developments ruin her characterization, however they definitely seem unnecessary at best, disappointing at worst. They serve no purpose in terms of personality development, and only seemed to make a good end satisfying than it might have been had the story.
Jagex working on triple AAA mmorpg RuneScape: Remastered
Judging by the history of matches which are RS games of Jagex, it is going to be a waste of cash, and will be stopped over 1-2 years. If you wonder RS3 development has slowed to a crawl, this is why. I'm just being cynical, although I think this might be make or break for Jagex. I think it undeniable that RS3 is on the decline, given the content droughts, poor quality of content which does get released, and frequency of events like DXP to try and retain some amount of participant action. OSRS includes a limited lifespan as well; its playerbase exists almost solely because of nostalgia.
I'd be curious just how many OSRS players had never played RuneScape prior to trying OSRS; definitely a few due to the fact that it's become somewhat of a but it can not be very many. I imagine interest in a 13 year very grind-heavy obsolete MMORPG running a 20 year old spaghetti is not very high among viewers who did not grow up playing RuneScape to Runescape gold begin with. Some sort of RuneScape Remastered or enlarged MMO set in the RuneScape world could be RuneScape's sole hope to be applicable. You're completely right about Jagex's atrocious handling of every other game they have ever made, so I optimistic.
