Why don't more classic MMOs release an oldschool client?

>>384780386
Because they don't want to admit they ruined it

Can't fucking wait for mobile osrs this winter.

Let's be honest anon, Runescape isn't much fun at all to play and you loved it as a kid because you had access to it and it was novel as hell. I don't see any reason to play the new mobile version, it's going to be a lot more clicking to move and watching 3 frame attack animations.

>>384780508
That's the point you retard: cashing in on nostalgia.

>>384780508
So all the people playing old Runescape aren't actually having fun?

>>384780386
Could simply be that they were too stupid to store older versions of all the required shit to run them.

Sure in the case of WoW it's just out of spite towards the people who don't like NuWoW.

>>384780490
>Having to actually wait for a ferry with other players
That's adorable

>>384780386
They don't want to admit that players would rather play a version that they didn't sink thousands of dev hours and millions of dollars into. Jagex didn't have a choice.

>>384780563
Maybe, I wouldn't rerelease Battlezone or Adventurequest and expect it to hold up a decade later (or at all, just used another browser game you could waste money on as an example)

>>384780581
I'm consciously aware that people will play and enjoy everything, I'd take just about anything for a more interactive, in-depth and exciting experience.

>>384780581
Watch the highlights of them, most of them are dying due to playtime fatigue.

That's fun, right? playing 50 hours of the same game.

>>384780995
>That's fun, right? playing 50 hours of the same game.

I mean, if the game is enjoyable. What's wrong with playing the same game for 50 hours?

not that anon but you're actually retarded, not only did you fuck up but now you're defending your fuck up as an anonymous poster in a thread no one will remember two hours after it dies

Yeah, whatever you say faggot.

Cool.
Let's see how far you'll keep up with the ad-hominem, loser.

>>384780508
So there are thousands of people STILL playing old school Runecape two years later because of nostalgia? Is it too hard to think they just enjoy the game?

>>384781263
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as 50 hours, is in fact, 50 hours straight, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, 50 hours plus straight. 50 hours is not a long amount of playtime unto itself, but rather another necessary component of a fully functioning playtime system made useful by the straight corelibs, highlight utilities and vital system components comprising a full 50 hours as defined by anon.
Many computer users run a modified version of the 50 hours system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of straight which is widely used today is often called “50 hours”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the
straight system, developed by the straight Project. There really are 50 hours, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
50 hours is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the playtime to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of a playtime system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. 50 hours is normally used in combination with the straight operating system: the whole system is basically straight with 50 hours added, or 50 hours straight. All the so-called “50 hours” distributions are really distributions of 50 hours straight.

We're in 4chan, i do not have the proper obligation to follow the cult norms of "writing".
You're just making a fool of yourself at this point because it wasn't even poorly written, it had just missed one small word that was already implicit by the context.

Have fun playing videogames.

P.S. I bet you don't even know who this is,
illiterate boy.

But it's not implicit at all? There are a lot of games which can be completed within less than 50 hours and I really don't find it odd that someone would get bored with games that are even shorter than 50 hours. There are probably more people on this board than you think that haven't completed a single game because they always drop them. I don't understand why you are getting so angry anyway. You can't expect people to know what you think on an anonymous board if you make such statements. It wasn't even ambiguous to me.
