Runescape's Lost Content (OSRS)

[@therunescapehistorian]

Hey guys, I misspoke and said sailing is CONFIRMED (got ahead of myself). It has not been completely confirmed to be introduced via a poll yet, it merely won out of the three proposed ones in order to be looked into further and fleshed out etc. Thanks guys!

[@t0x0cduff1vids]

Pretty sure you're wrong on the fight kiln too, in that on release it only offered a new BIS meele cape, not individual mage/ range/ meele capes

[@lildmckay]

That poll was pretty misleading. It asked to vote for the skill you want to see fleshed out and said you could pick more than one. I chose both sailing and shamanism because I wanted to see them both fleshed out a bit more to see what direction they would go. Pretty disappointed that the poll was actually “which one do you want?”

[@dilliondantin]

The berserker shields were like the defenders of F2P, they gave str bonus and good defence bonus. The Fist of Guthix minigame was so fun back in the day, it's a shame we're never gonna get it back.

I've been playing OSRS since day 1, I even voted for it to return. I had forgotten some of these polls. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Fun fact, at the start of OSRS '07scape' the most popular way of making gold at the start was stealing silk at Ardy. I remember everybody rushing to Ardougne for that gp. The launch day of OSRS was one of my favorite memories of RuneScape as a whole.

[@HughMungusXD]

Neat little history thing, remember back when the rooftop agility NPC would shout random things like "idea by user bigredjapan" every. Single. Time. Someone would jump down the rooftop, flooding the screen with annoying text. I messaged the guy in-game like 9 years ago when he had PM on and said cool he won a contest but the NPC was annoying, then shortly after that the npc stopped speaking dialogue above his head. Kinda feel bad for telling a guy to tell his in-game npc to shut up lol but I think he must of directed the idea to a Jmod because of the quick change, so maybe he didn't like it either.

[@wentoneisendon6502]

I'm always interested in stuff that failed. Thanks so much for this vid!

[@shikore22]

Lol ud be silly to think jagex wont release something they want just cuz visual poll system which they can manipulate any moment, there was video of jagex promised never to bring g.e and it failed poll multiple times and they kept repolling bcuz they wanted to control market. Until they forced it in.. unfortunately the vidoes removed also old twitch broadcasts disapeared to share u proof

[@CanuckBacon]

I can confirm Berserker rune shield was bis for f2p, as I grinded the hell out of fist of guthix for it when my membership ran out 😂

[@VRSavior]

you grinded for the BIS, 11 year old me grinded for the swag

one of my first slayer assignments back in 2004 was 272 mithril dragons. it sucked, never finished it. slayer stayed at 52 for decades

[@pm-5565]

Sailing has not been confirmed to be released, it has only been polled to flesh the idea out so far and we still have to vote for it to get added to the game or not.

[@therunescapehistorian]

You are absolutely right my brother. Made a correction in the pinned comment. Thank ya & good catch

[@rocktheboat56]

No mention of the "minigame reward shop"? the poll to add it passed, but none of the rewards passed and it was like never mentioned again by jamflex

[@Shiestey]

Lol the wild dogs thing is so true. I remember trying to do demons years ago and they would constantly aggro. The worst part was they didn’t drop anything so they would just slow down your task for no reason.

[@Slabfish]

I think tob would be in a much better place with its rewards if some of these passed or at least had tuning. The judgement prayer would have been interesting if they toned it down and removed the weird effect, I know it took 4+ attempts to pass a ranged glove bis but Nex is so stacked already there would be nothing wrong if it came from tob. I think the potions are fine as well although probably best not coming from a raid

[@mikeb3139]

Great video mate, so crazy seeing this old and forgotten content years later. Nostalgia trip fsure. I remember when I just returned to osrs in 2016, and I got wrecked in the old slayer dungeon by the specters. That old dungeon was nuts. monsters everywhere no rhyme or reason lmao good times/

[@Wishkeyn]

Surprising that so many of these things actually made it into the game, just with some new changes.

[@flyback_driver]

That shield was only useful in combination with charged rune gauntlets which also came from fog. It allowed the rune scim max hit to go from 28 to 29 I think? It was a long time ago but I remember you needed both the shield and the gauntlets for it to matter. That also includes the strength amulet, strength potion, and having 99 strength. It became obsolete when the gravite equipment was released with dungeoneering.

3:00 is not quite right, on release the fight kiln only rewarded you with a BIS melee cape is was similar in stats to the inferno cape today, the ranged and magic variants weren't released for ages.

[@currentcommerce4774]

I remember being really sad when sailing failed back in 2015, but now I think it failing then to pass now is actually going to be so much better for the game. Im sure back then the sailing we would have gotten just been a clunky islandeering skill, but with the resources that jagex has & the mastery some of the mods have learned with working with the game engine it looks like the skill will be truly expansive for the game

[@TchSktch]

not looking forward to it personally. seems like something that should be a subset of woodcutting mixed with crafting, not a whole new 99 to get

I wonder if will add a new max level boss, it seems like there's alot of group wildy bosses but it would be interesting if jagex added some new 1000+ level bosses just to make that aspect of the game more interesting.

[@rangikusakura9793]

imagine that bolt special ring paired with the diary to permanently increase your bolt activation would of been busted.

[@vulpinitemplar5036]

The most interesting part of lost content is that the percentage they fail by shows that there is often enough interest to add the content but it's proposed form is seemingly the issue which is pretty cool.

[@rangikusakura9793]

one thing maybe not everyone knows about but maybe quite a few is that quite a few clans would require their members to downvote certain poll questions and have you screenshot your results and post on reddit or be either kicked or in some cases they would pay their members to downvote or upvote certain polls and encpuraged they use every accpunt that can vote pretty scummy and makes me always wonder what runescape would of been like from polls that almost passed but a few percentages were needed to pass. (no i'm not going to name some of the clans i was talking about as i do still pvm with some individuals in these clans but i'm no longer in for obvious reasons.

[@vulpinitemplar5036]

@@rangikusakura9793 Democracy tends to always have this problem in some form or another sadly.

[@dclikemtndew]

Max cape having the stats of a fire cape now wouldn't be irrelevant, because a fire max cape is functionally just a fire cape. Having the functionality of a max cape with fire cape stats would be pretty busted for people who don't have an infernal cape

[@dclikemtndew]

also there might be some scenarios where even if you have an infernal cape, it might be worth meleeing with a max cape to get the fire cape stats, plus hp regen, plus holy wrench effects, plus teleports, etc

I am still unbelievably pissed that the Trading Post was removed. It was literally perfect for people that actually want to play the game as an MMO. You didn't need to screw around with Zybez where people were always offline/private off/already sold and not marked on the site... BUT, you could actually interact with other players. imo, the Grand Exchange was literally the worst update to come to OSRS. You can argue that the playerbase would be smaller and I would agree. I would not find that to be an issue. There would only be people that actually CARE about the social aspect/joruney of Runescape, instead of these zoomers who want the max cape asap and then instantly burn out after or burn out on their way to it - all the while voting crappy updates into the game. /rant
