My 71 year old Dad may be right
My dad was a huge RuneScape fan for years, with a high-level account and about a dozen 99s. When my siblings and I were younger, we had a bit of a competition to see who could level up the fastest, but no matter how hard we tried, he always stayed ahead of us.
That all changed when the Evolution of Combat update came out. Like many players at the time, he quit, frustrated with how drastically the game had changed. Now, at 71, he’s never even tried Old School RuneScape—not because he wouldn’t enjoy it, (I know he would love the nostalgia)but because he just doesn’t trust Jagex. I’ve tried to persuade him many times to give it another shot over the years, but he stands firm on the fact that they ruined it once and refuses to spend thousands of hours rebuilding his progress, only for them to do it again.
Honestly, I can’t help but feel like he might be right. Not in terms of something as drastic as EOC but I feel like this may the beginning of the end. I really hope it isn’t—but I guess time will tell.
