![]() Many of you who were able to deal with the most unpleasant individuals, and remain untouched by warns / suspensions, kudos to you. It didn't matter if the staff sympathized with you, they had their rules and guidelines to enforce, so if you went out of line you'd still get smacked. Was it nice when players like Macki got their deserved upcoming? Sure, but were we as individuals in a better position than before? Hardly, since one thing trolls / troublemakers were very good at doing was bringing down others to their level, unfortunately leading to many of the younger users who often lacked self-control to rack up punishments / warn levels / suspensions for rules broken while fighting the bullies. Sure, sometimes (often) they end up banned, but it's hardly a satisfying result for anyone involved unless there's some very personal stakes at play. Typically, dealing with trouble-makers can be quite. Welcome to yet another banned member drama entry, for your entertainment. ![]() One day we may also have that feeling about Sals Realm. Looking back at their posts, I get a feeling that they did not understand what they had at that instant, which was something. ![]() I'm thankful that Sals Realm persists, though as I write this I am reminded that the Runescape 3 clan has had low activity lately, possibly because the game itself is slowly declining in numbers.Įven back in the 2010s when I was browsing, people on Tip.it were complaining about how low activity was on their site. Perhaps the issue is that all of these fansites based their communities on forums-a long-dying communication form-and their Runescape help website-eventually outclassed by the wiki, just like how Wikipedia outclassed all encyclopedias in popularity. Perhaps some others live on in one form or another, but I can't find their communities. Looking at the traditional fansites as a whole, it looks like they've all died except for Sals Realm, which mainly survives through the discord and in-game clans in Runescape 3 and Old School. It looks like the site was completely offline for some time until someone started paying for the servers again. I also checked out their friends chat this morning ("sc" or HYT) and found only one person in there besides me. Unlike Sals, which always kept a pulse, it seems like Tip.it evaporated relatively quickly, in 2016-2018. After coming back to Runescape 3 in the COVID-19 pandemic, I noticed everyone on that site disappeared. I browsed Tip.it until I started losing interest in Runescape 3 in 2016. It was a nice place to have a "traditional" fansite community feel while still finding good discussion. Even then, I knew it was an anachronistic experience. A lot of these players were also really good at the game - a few I am tempted to name, but I decide against doing that because they did not know me, and I thought it might be strange for them . This was by no means the glory days, but people would have conversations on the game, give bossing tips, and discuss updates at length. When I became an RS member in 2013, Tip.it had an active community of maybe one hundred or more active Runescape 3 players. ![]() This is particularly true for Runescape 3, where maybe 15 forum users were actively playing the game by the time of release.īut activity did not wane uniformly across all fan-sites, and one was just active enough to be useful for Runescape 3 - Tip.it. To me, the issue was mainly pronounced here with the lack of people playing the game, which became low in the 2010s, despite a core of that community still existing (and still existing now). ![]() New players stopped joining, current users stopped playing the game, and eventually people started going elsewhere, like Reddit. I will not speculate on the reasons, but it happened with every site and every community, all of which were forum-based. A little Sunday sacrilege is fit anywhere.Īs you all know by now, the traditional RuneScape fan-sites started to "die" sometime around 2010 or even earlier. Yes, I apologize for speaking about another "rival" fan-site on this forum, but I thought I would post anyway. ![]()
