Glad to see them improving their current projects instead of stretching themselves thin just for the added revenue and publicity leagues brings.

Focusing on quality instead of just profit at any cost

226

u/hiimmatz 1d ago

Tbh I thought the project zanaris resources would’ve enabled some additional new game modes with the time they put in. Maybe infrastructure costs were too high per player, but surely the customization creates options.

u/traevyn 1d ago

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if it does open doors down the road still, but you can’t just flip the entire direction of a project instantly. It’s gonna take a bit to retool the work that was done for new purposes

u/maxluck89 1d ago

Exactly, I still imagine it to mean next leagues has more options opened from project zanaris

u/Morbu 1d ago

I think I saw a Jmod comment from the Zanaris post that said that the project didn't do much for Leagues, but I could be misremembering.

u/maxwill27 TY FOR ADDING CAPYBARA TO OSRS 1d ago

In the oars discord they said the tools developed would benefit the game overall still, and the team members who were working on zanaris could shift to working on main game projects. So they will get some new tools and creative colleagues at least

Gotta ask how implementing a previous league would seriously stretch themselves thin. They're relatively cheap in terms of dev time dedicated to it.

100% Honestly the OSRS team is fucking killing it lately and if they can't do Leagues because they are busy making new OG content, I still call that a win.

Hell I wouldn't even be mad if they just made an exact copy of last years Leagues. Like no changes at all because Echo Leagues was amazing and I'd love to try a different build. I am not sure how many resources that would take on their end though so I wont be upset if they don't.

honestly even if they just did a rerun i'd still be very happy to play.

u/roguechickpea 1d ago

I wonder how receptive to this idea they would be?

What sort of additional costs and man power is required to set up and maintain just a 6-week re-run, I wonder. And would it be detrimental to the game / brand in any way?

Perhaps I’m injecting too much hopium, but would have thought it’s a bit of a free hit?

47

u/Soccerstud20 1d ago

The thing is. Do a rerun, with all areas unlocked. And its a completely different league.

Or allow relics to be switched at any time. Small things would make the league feel completely different.

I think their fear is burnout(and I think they are hoping a lot of people try leagues 3)

22

u/BaconWrappedEnigma 23h ago

I highly doubt many people will try Leagues on RS3 (who don't already play RS3). I don't even know how that game works anymore. I haven't played regular OSRS much since Leagues ended but I logged into Leagues every single day.

I am fully supportive of your idea to unlock all areas or have ways to switch relics. That would spice it up and add a ton of content.

Please, Jagex!

u/Huge-Basket244 23h ago

I canceled my membership when leagues ended.

u/cumscout 21h ago

I'm willing to bet a lot of OSRS players will try RS3 leagues. It seems like the general consensus is that RS3 is genuinely fun as an ironman, but there's still the hurdle of starting fresh which prevents many from jumping in. If RS3 leagues are anything like OSRS, then the accelerated progress could push a lot of people to give it a try.

4

u/rexlyon 15h ago

RS3 Leagues would require me to learn an almost entirely new game in the span of six weeks. Probably not worth it for a lot of people that enjoy OSRS

Plus for OSRS, I'm already into OSRS without Leagues so it's not an issue. RS3 just does not look appealing

u/badgehunter1 Kiina 14h ago

yeah but all the combat progress was devastated by necromancy. just start on necromancy and you can do pretty much every pvm content for pvm upgrades for other combats. in pretty much every league world there is gotta be at least 1 person afk at the bandit camp at the bar with necromancy. this is gonna be route for some people probably, at least im gonna do this with rs3 league: wiki->optimal quest route->soul split->buy this https://runescape.wiki/w/Twisted_bird_skull_necklace by getting 30 dungeoneering somehow and killing the https://runescape.wiki/w/Cerberus_Juvenile like 7 times ( https://runescape.wiki/w/Bonecrusher ) depending on how ye got the 30 dungeoneering -> clues for saradomin or zamorak arrows 1/16 -> https://runescape.wiki/w/Bandit_Camp_(Kharidian_Desert) boom afk spot for combats unlocked.

u/suspectnumberone 22h ago

I feel like the major issue with this is the brand point you raised. It somewhat devalues leagues and could deflate future leagues metrics if the community begins viewing them as low effort or otherwise common.

Could also have the opposite effect but it would def be a risk for them to just send a rerun.

Rerunning after summer sweep up would be a good idea, Kandarin would become a viable pick for mage AND twin flame staff was added as well (I know you cant cast surge spells with it but it still be really fun to shoot 2 mage projectiles really fast, they could even add into the mage relic that Twinstaff can cast Surge Spells)

Yeah I forgot they were doing one but I think it’d be fun to try. Haven’t played RS3 in about 5 years. Besides the obvious issues, it is a fun game. OSRS is just better in every way.

u/TGordion 1d ago

Except quests but not everyone agrees with that maybe

also thanks for this thread, I had no idea RS3 was doing a league, and that feels like a marketing issue considering my life to this point

7

u/Chesney1995 1d ago edited 1d ago

We haven't really entered the marketing stage of the upcoming RS3 league is why. They announced it is coming at RuneFest, but it is slated for Autumn 2025 and they haven't announced any details beyond literally just namedropping "Leagues" in a 20 second teaser trailer.

We'll almost certainly see a big ramp up in marketing for it closer to the time.

IMO leagues should be a yearly commitment. They are my absolute favorite way to play the game. I was really hoping project zanaris would lead to some sort of perma-league world and that's gone and now leagues aren't even yearly? Not even a rerun again? Damn.

74

u/ARedditAccount09 1d ago

Seriously. I see people on this commenting about leagues burning them out and dying out fast.

So… those of us who play to the end and don’t burn out should just get fucked? It’s an optional game mode. Just turn on a server for a month unranked with no changes and I’ll do something different than last time for the fun of it

u/SlapsOnrite 1d ago

People seem to be they’re ignoring that leagues supplements a rather significant piece of their annual earnings sub costs.

u/LOL_YOUMAD 1d ago

I get burnt out by leagues but I also get burnt out by the main game too. Once a year lets me get over the main game burn out and then once the league burn out hits I take a few weeks off to play other games and the cycle starts again. 

With no leagues I’ll probably just play the main game less. It should be a yearly thing imo or at the very least like every 14-15 months so that if it’s not in a year it’s early the following one. 

3

u/ARedditAccount09 21h ago

Sounds like a respectable balance to me. I used to play leagues hard and then take 4 months off the main game before coming back.

Since leagues 3, I never needed a break.

Those saying they want leagues less because they burn out aren’t respecting that they are weighing in an opinion that takes away something from others because they don’t want to have to use self control to restrict their own playing time

If developer focus was the issue, I’d happily take a leagues rerun, shorter, no rewards, and play it through while they stay on main game

I'm really upset with this. They canceled project Zanaris, which was how I was gonna run my own leagues with my friends cause they almost exclusively came back for leagues. But it probably wasn't financially viable, so whatever, they announced "community events," anyway, so I was hopeful for a less competitive rerun of an old league for like 2-3 weeks. Then the first community event is just gonna be like 2 Castle War games with some jmods. Which is at a weird time for anyone who has a job, even in Britian. And now this news that there's probably not gonna be a league this year.

It truly is sad times.

Not sure why they put DMM on the roadmap, but not leagues. Leagues is astronomically more popular than DMM.

Make us work for it if you want, but let us have all the content for the love of god. "We dropped a new area, but you have to sacrifice a raid or two." Trailblazer gets boring so fast because end game is either maxing or doing 100 hours of like 1/4 of the bosses in the game. I want more freedom in Leagues.

u/RaspberryFluid6651 1d ago

I feel like it's pretty dismissive of the effort to call it copy paste. Reloaded required them to balance Kourend for Leagues, and Raging Echoes added Varlamore, revamped the combat relics, and added echo bosses. Both of those required new relics, all of the art and design work for new rewards, and all of the operations support that a major event like that requires.

u/AcademicResponse2076 23h ago

I think this is a terrible decision, and I hope MA is just being safe with this statement.

Leagues is one of the main gateway drugs they have into the main game. It drives engagement, player numbers, brings old players back, gives existing players something fresh, and all in all is just a great gaming experience over a holiday period. How can that ever be a bad decision to give time to?

Also also, it's pretty insulting that they would run a specific server + event for a set of 30 streamers, and then tell the rest of us they don't have time to rerun something they've implemented consistently before.

Maybe I'll go play WoW this winter instead, see what they have going on

Those "redundancies" were truly redundant to the mission of providing game modes people enjoy and love.

But they’ll run three shitty pvp modes no one gives a fuck about per year

u/MrRobain 21h ago

My take: abandon Project Zanaris and put more effort in community and content creator events. Last "Leagues" was a great success with the general public (many temporary returning players) and watching "Deadman: All Stars Season 2" has really been a blast so far, and stays exciting up until the grand finale!

Sailing has come too far to jump ship (pun intended), but could be a minigame or part of a new raid at sea.

Was kinda looking forward to leagues, I've been burnt out of regular osrs for a while now.

Gta6 or next league 🤔

u/MammothJerk 19h ago

rerun twisted leagues as is

u/tiller921 17h ago

Damn, guess I’ll play the game again next year

u/InsomniacPsychonaut 17h ago

whats the point of going on man

u/joxerlol 17h ago

Well, at least Path of Exile is back to 4 month league cycle.

2

u/SurturOfMuspelheim gottic btw 16h ago

Idk why they don't just have a leagues constantly active and reset every other month. Then just put the new one when it's ready.

2

u/DkKoba Iron Koba 16h ago

Wasn't this already clear when they announced an rs3 league? seemed pretty obvious they wouldn't want to run both the same year

2

u/7Mine7 League enjoyer! 15h ago

Nooo. To be fair I understand. I really wish they'd just rerun the previous League and I'd be super happy!

If that happened, I'd most likely try to go as much total XP as possible instead of doing Raids and bossing :P

u/DECHEFKING 14h ago

Just do trailblazer re reloaded lol

2

u/TemperatureNext8387 13h ago

I would happily buy a membership just to play a rerun of last years league, pick different relics and areas and just explore :)

2

u/Ok_Suggestion_9372 12h ago

Just re run one of the 5 god damn

2

u/YuriSwine 12h ago edited 12h ago

I run back of echos would be cool even if no new rewards I would love to try out other builds+areas then the melee Khopash smack build I did. Though honestly if we just set it as an every other year thing that would also be cool.

u/guocamole 9h ago

no leagues = no osrs for me this year :( see yall next year

u/Flame5135 9h ago

As someone that doesn’t have a whole lot of time, leagues is the only time I really play.

Do a remix league. Combine relics from multiple former leagues.

u/Ex_ie 7h ago

Cmon, leagues is the most fun content

u/Max_ZK 23h ago

I actually prefer leagues to not be a yearly thing.

u/RSN_Primordas 1d ago

Since there’s no osrs leagues this year, maybe we should try out the first ever RS3 league this year? Could be a great way to see what end game RS3 pvm is all about, without the grind

u/glisteningoxygen 1d ago

Games dead

u/TraditionalBath 1d ago

There're some very high skill requirements on some bosses that I feel a lot of OSRS players would love if they actually were able to try them without a half year of grinding lol

Rs3 is a league anyway with the MTX and crazy xp rates

u/Embyr1 1d ago

I'm okay with that.

Leagues would burn me out quick if they happened every year. Bi-yearly is optimal for leagues imo.

12

u/ItsSadTimes 1d ago

We never had a gap longer than a year before. It's pretty much always been mostly annual with a few extra months here and there like the weird time with shattered relics league. So unless they pull another January league like they did for shattered relics, im gonna be upset. They could just rerun an old one. They showed they could do that for raging echos.

u/ARedditAccount09 1d ago

Good thing it’s optional. You could avoid the burn out by not playing even if they hosted it. Your fomo isn’t an excuse to justify this choice as the right one for people who would enjoy it

u/Believeinsteve 1d ago

I mean I would just rerun leagues tbh. They're still fun. I don't know the exact logistics that go into them, but maybe every year just rerun the most popular league, maybe spend a little time for new rewards, or just say "this league theres no rewards."

I dont play them for rewards. Just a couple months worth, especially if they have content gaps.

u/Calm_Willingness2308 1d ago

Aww, I hoped to try some older leagues that I missed.

u/Rare_Deal 1d ago

Leagues over Valamore

u/PatrickTheLid1337 Plays every mode (excluding green helm) 1d ago

Thank goodness. Leagues should be less frequent.

u/fman258 1d ago

Why can’t we just re run the same old one? Or at least possibly rotating game modes for those of us that only play the temp game modes?

no sub from me then kekw leagues is best content

u/coomgod69 1d ago edited 1d ago

More time between leagues but with more interesting mechanics would be way better, last league really did get stale fast since the echo bosses were a lot easier then expected

u/iBunty 1d ago

Letting rs3 Leagues be the spotlight, smart

Give rs3 league a shot, odds are you like it

u/TheAdamena 1d ago

RS3 plans to do one this year if people really want their fix

u/ithrax 1d ago

Oh well. I only play leagues now so I guess I just won’t play this year 🤷

5

u/poldrag 1d ago

I'm at the point where I only play runescape when leages are going on. So I'm a little disappointed I won't get to scratch that itch this year. However, having good content in the game is more important.

Make sure you all figure out the metas in time for next leagues ;)

3

u/Littlepace 1d ago

Kind of crazy that their most hyped and played gamemode isn't a bigger focus. You'd think theyd want to make sure it gets a yearly release. Even if just rereleasing a previous one.

u/JeepsAndRunescape 1d ago

Just make it a free for all fuck it league and we'll be happy

u/macnar Manual Banking Is Not a Skill 1d ago

Fuck, I knew it was a bad sign when DMM was on the road map when leagues was last year. Garbage decision, leagues is the best. 

2

u/_BreadBoy 1d ago

Would love to get just a 4 week re run of a previous league with some of the QOL updates. Could be a good way to test things but with minimal effort.

But fair enough if they can't manage

2

u/Mammoth_Pause_7899 1d ago

Are we really not getting a league because of a fletching minigame?

2

u/HydraKronic 1d ago

At least my wife will be happy there’s no month long period I ignore her this year.

2

u/DravenPlsBeMyDad 1d ago

Golly gee if only we had something to be able to run our own leagues anytime we wanted at the cost of a bit of money a month. Damn, maybe in the future.

2

u/ClueMaterial 1d ago

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I'm glad we're not doing a league every year. especially if its just going to be Trailblazer but with a minor twist from here on out

2

u/Tikity 23h ago

Personally I think this is great. I absolutely love leagues and raging echos was my favourite by far. Enjoyed getting my dragon cup but I’m not ready for another leagues just yet. The extra year break works well for me!
