Likely not many, but my point there either way is that almost everything is pretty much the same. Of course there will be bots, and bad updates, and with bad updates come lack of determination for playing continuity, and with lack of continuity there's less incentive to prolong osrs's livelihood on jagex's behalf. Sad really. Yet if I could somehow know my old online friends were out there obtaining legitimately helpful degrees or in another manner working towards a decent career to build a positive lifestyle with instead of playing runescape, I would absolutely cheer them on for that :p This is only relevant to me because I come across many current players who make it obvious they don't strive for anything close to that. And I apologize for the banter, speculating on runescape's old and new community just nostalgically makes me misty eyed.

But rs is a better rs, even if everything has changed fourfold multiple times. In my opinion they're ultimately incomparable. As an player of osrs, I must say I see a lot of folks talk about how the "new-old" game will not ever be the same as the old-old game, and in a way that's true, but in a way it's not. The community is relatively the same, the setting, stats, quests, etc. are all the same, it's just a different era and I guess you could say it appeals to a mostly new (or just different) group of people, but seriously...the game is pretty much the same. But yes, the approach is way different, what with PVM dominance and streaming and things. Lul.

Unfortunately runescape barely still exists, and wow is still fairly popular. Not that I'm unhappy that runescape still exists, but them's the facts. Although, seeing all the super questionable content that has ultimately driven many players away from rs and subsequently caused them to be uninterested in osrs, it's no surprise to me that it's barely still active. Wow definitely must have maintained a sort of player-interactive system for updating their content. I can't say for sure since I've never really played it or read into it's community, but come on...Like Leo said, it's outlived many mmos and that can't just be based on plain happenstance.

Sal's Realm of WoW amirite

Nooooooooooo!

Is that nay on the concept or nay you have no words? Either way I’m sensing deep curiousness.

Whoa. I just had the ultimate epiphany for this topic. What if.... ...the original poster meant to make the game to where the first to post(after their post of course) win, with every following poster considered losers... ..... .... edit: OP is Leo. Leo? Any comments? You sure you meant for it to be last to post? After all, why would you set yourself up to win by staying active with this topic this long when there was a string of multiple alternatives; closing the topic via immediate proclaimed loss of interest as soon as your post was made visible as the first and ultimately the last meaning you won either way. Actually that’s the only alternative I can think of at the moment, but this is definitely a potentially crucial thing that I believe merits some examination and discussion.

Less of a game and more of a social experiment! As anybody who has frequented this forum for a few years should know, this forum’s activity is nowhere near the volume of activity it had back in the day. My discussion for the limited modern day Sal’s user: What might Sal’s Realm be talking about these days in the midst of all the social/political advances and, on a less serious note, general discord within the web, brought upon inevitably by all the time togetherness and false community? In other words, if this forum had as many weekly visitors and topic posts as it did in 2009ish, what would the slammers be discussing today, in either a major or lesser manner? Personally I think Runescape memes (ultimately nullifying game fakes and funny screenshots) and liberal banter would occupy most of Sal’s forums. Remember folks, if you don’t speculate on nonexistent, potential modern day excessive activity and you’re a Sal’s vet, you’re simply proving my point! ...Unless you are a vet and you simply read this to indulge your boredom, in which case I could have probably said that you’re simply proving *our* point
