agreed man, runescape right before eoc was my favorite time. I didn't mean my pessimistic statement like that though, i just meant that if they can't come up with new content that isn't a good sign. Idc if they copy some of the good content of rs3, but if they can't come up with anything new there's a danger they'll copy the bad content. This becomes especially true in my mind due to how jmods are notoriously known for being so bad and ignorant at/towards many aspects of the game itself. This is the main problem with rs3 and i see it starting with osrs imo.
but anyways this isn't a thread about osrs dieing lol cus i doubt it will for a while at the very least. But yeah, i don't think mobile will skyrocket prices at all. Maybe a slight increase for the hype of it, but eventually it'll settle and continue the downward trend that we've been seeing since runescape started.
Wanted to comment on this - DEFINITELY it'll be a huge thing (although i can see a lot of people getting pissed for losing a stake due to fat fingers lol), but it doesn't bring money into the game nor does it get money out of the game. Staking is already huge, i doubt a small increase in people wanting gold will be enough to significantly impact the market.
