Imagine getting the modern equivalent of 4 extra inventory slots, and how game changing it would be today. Absolutely wild. Keep up the good work my dude, I'm really enjoying it.
more supplies to a boss, more runes to cast spells, longer afk times. And having that on other players would be extreme. That and I just wanted to check my sub badge and too lazy to find it on the channel.
Interesting and just saddens me to hear and remember when the membership cost was 5 bucks, eventually went to 8 but it was still worth it and manageable... Now hearing it's going to 12 and on top all the MTXs that rs3 has, that as much as it breaks my heart and i literally have to fight myself to go back and play it, im really sad about how RuneScape has turned into
I was thinking about resubscribing on rs3 and make an iron man account. Then I saw the 10.99 monthly. I remember it being 7.99 on a giftcard i also saw the price of bonds... damn 45m?
I never play or even have ever played runescape but I love falling asleep to this type of content or playing it as background content while at work Keep it up man.
"i love falling asleep to this type of content" idk if I would take that as a compliment or a insult lol he obviously puts lots of time and effort researching his videos and you saying that you sleep to them. (I know its a compliment obviously based on the rest of your comment just saying it sounds funny lol)
Been watching your videos a lot lately while I play osrs. It's nice when you see a brand new one as you're browsing! Hope you're doing well, Colonello :)
Dwarf Fortress is a single player game meaning it costs no or very little money to just exist, online games have to pay to exist through the cost of servers. Edit: Dwarf Fortress also costs 30$ on steam, I don't know if it was completely free to play when you originally commented or if your comment is just some weird joke flying over my head.
@@grimreaper686 The ascii version is still free on Tarn's website. The steam version has an official graphics pack and is basically a way to support the game with that added as a bonus.
@@grimreaper686the steam release is a recent thing that's only like a year old, for the last like decade you could only get it by just downloading it for free directly from the website - and i believe you still can. the steam version is just a "support the creator" option.
I was looking through ge tax videos to catch up on the numbers and effectiveness of the tax saw this and didn't expect to find history, global economy and back story of the development tbh. This was rather entertaining.
Nice history lesson. Your other channel is poppin off too, went to my friends place and he’s watching a video about crypto or something and I heard your voice commentating and he is not an OSRS player to know you lol
"I want to watch a guy make fun content I don't have to pay for in any way" also people "Nooooo don't try to make moneyyyyyy and advertise things that are completely optional" Nothing wrong with a 'lil Raid Shadow legends you goons. Gj Colonello.
Pure cringe your comment, full of youtuber soy lmao. I could care less about whenever someone random makes interesting vid to watch or not. Even less if the stimulation to make the video is to earn money. Either way I will not watch anything I don't wanna watch. SponsorBlock is installed and enabled everywhere.
yes the duel arena was added in 2004. But you failed to mention the fact that players could challenge other players to a duel anywhere in the game before duel arena came out.
Mortal online has basically been alive because of player donations. It's a subscription, but I know a lot of players like the game and company so much that always have subscription even if they aren't playing at the moment, Myself included. Kinda funny considering I find it the closest game to RuneScape.
Aww man i thought you meant right now here and 2022 like noooo i dont wanna lose runescape even though im on my long break. You just never quit runescape.. just waiting on whenever i feel like coming back on 😭🤦🏻
i swear even when im pretty sure what the story is going to be about you come out with some more info that blows my mind every time nello! thanks for the fun content and the serotonin boost lol
I just restarted last week after a few years break. Seems like the player base really has gone down and still a lot of bots. I’m near maxed on two accounts but seems like the community is just not friendly either. After playing for 18 years on the game seems like the game doesn’t have much of a community anymore and is like a solo player game lol.
Those, "Click here to win a free iPod" used to be real. You'd fill out surveys, and then get an iPod in the mail. Now you have to sign up to mortgage your home or get Netflix. But I got a couple ten iPods back in the day.
I was at cave horrors for 5 hours yesterday, they told me to take a break from my screen. I said I would if I got a mask. They didn't give me one, I didn't take a break >:( lol
I dont remember the survey giving me anything. I vaguely remember filling it out but I was damned young at the time so could be wrong. Or if it gave anything it likely went on the floor as I was mostly lost near lumbridge and alkarid shhh there was no minimap do remember eventually printing out a giant map so I could find my way to falador.
7:34 damm that sounds much better than what google does(well until you said that they would ask you to fill out form to get inventory slot.... )You have clear choice to give them information or not to give information. With google it's much less clear.
Still waiting for someone to put a Classic server back up, but its singleplayer and just full of expertly programmed bots. I mean, we have bots out-pking the best players on OSRS right now, what about a whole offline MMO?
Any free game that sells cosmetics I’d technically getting donations, well that how I think of it when I buy skins. I don’t need them and mostly only buy them to support a game I like. So to me it’s a donation.
I've considered introducing a channel membership tier where all ads and in-game sponsors are bypassed. I'll have to crunch the numbers but I'd like to offer it for just a dollar or two a month if possible. :)
You can't think of any game that got big just off donations? Legally speaking, most Korean mmos list their MTX as "donation incentives". Nexon does this. Or they did at some point. I'm not reading the whole thing again.
you know its weird i've never played runescape but i find these videos interesting since if I didn't have parents that supported my gaming hobby i probably would've found runescape eventually but I was on the other side I was lucky enough to get a part time job and the oild family computer to play EverQuest and DAoC then FF11.
Runescape 3 is the game where you fill out the surveys to get ahead? Huh? I mean, it's certainly monetized and obviously pay to win compared to OSRS, but the few times I've even seen a discussion about filling out surveys to get keys, everybody tells you to ignore them and that they are scams. Don't think I've ever been presented with a survey with couple thousand hours in.
"i cant think of any game in the world thats gotten big on donations" uhh, how about dwarf fortress, its been in active development for 20+ years, all thanks to donations
Sure they had a issue back then, mostly due to the change from Andrew to a corporation. But to tell the truth i think they are more closer to Bankrupt Now than they ever have been. And i think alot of it has to do with bots and the increase of forcing you to have a membership or not play or create a new account and start over. Hence why they are toying around with the idea of selling OSRS. Which is a shame because i am 34 and i have played Runescape since the beginning before a members even existed and before their was anything beyond white wolf mountain which was named such because when the mountain came into existence their was a lone wolf on the other side when you climbed where you could, Unreachable just chilling there. I remember when R2H came into existence and the rune longsword was the most expensive best weapon for a very long time. Back when we did do drop partys everywhere and just to be friendly with the community and we dropped real valuable items just to hang out and talk and have fun.
ah the old days of the internet when we didn't think too much about privacy and lying on internet surveys/forms was something people didn't think of doing. I kinda wish they did that now tho, I could really use 5 extra inventory spots.
It's good to lie on the internet especially when it has to do with protecting your privacy. #1 rule in computer class, way back in grade school, was to stay anonymous. Kyc business model being universally used, even where it shouldn't be, should be an issue.
@@riseoftheflutes1739 So which survey company do you work for then? Unless its a government survey or something I doubt they could do much in court about it.
Imagine getting the modern equivalent of 4 extra inventory slots, and how game changing it would be today. Absolutely wild. Keep up the good work my dude, I'm really enjoying it.
Thank you!! Will do :D
more supplies to a boss, more runes to cast spells, longer afk times. And having that on other players would be extreme. That and I just wanted to check my sub badge and too lazy to find it on the channel.

i mean, there have been plenty of updates that essentially do this. stuff like rune pouches and all
@Pabs we don’t summon in osrs
I'm so happy to see you doing videos about RSC, and going to the historians to get the information. Logg is a treasure trove for sure
10 years from now @Colonello will be like a leading authority and chief historian on RS, he is making a short time living by playing the long game

Dwarf Fortress is a game that's run solely through players donations. I would say it's big, has very good reputation among gamers.
It's one of the most incredible games I've ever gotten to enjoy

Judging by the title alone, I’m amazed RuneScape is as huge as it is now
i mean instead of extra inventory space, they should make a skill that has animals carry a whole nother inventory for you...imagine...
RuneScape’s history never ceases to amaze me....I may have missed out on classic, but thanks to your videos, I almost feel like I was there 👍
As a day 1 classic player, you were there in spirit
RSC still exists
I was looking through ge tax videos to catch up on the numbers and effectiveness of the tax saw this and didn't expect to find history, global economy and back story of the development tbh. This was rather entertaining.
Find any good vids on that?
I barely play RuneScape these days but love to always learn about it great video dude
This was so fascinating! Cool how things were figured out by decompiling old clients
Whoa!! Got an ad on top of the RAID ad 😱
anybody here remember when the ad changed while typing and you hit backspace/delete, and you were put back to previous webpage,
Mintcakes in the 2010's omfg literally died at that. Fairplay lad.
incredibly interesting, all the discoveries being made due to old caches. great video as always!

I actually remember this and was a little worried about runescapes future
i might be a die hard rs3 player but that survey joke made me giggle
I remember getting membership for the first time in Classic. I was pretty much up all night doing all that I could
Pretty sure Dwarf Foretress ran purely off donations for almost a decade?
yes the duel arena was added in 2004.
But you failed to mention the fact that players could challenge other players to a duel anywhere in the game before duel arena came out.
I'm a simple person. I hear someone shit on crypto dorks, I like
Great video, thanks for telling this story. :-) So funny that you get Treasure Hunter keys now with surveys. Never thought of that parallel.
Thank you so much! Also ikr, its like the game has gone full circle haha

Mintcakes? I missed that trend entirely.
The npc named subscribe was subtle. I liked it enough to subscribe. 🤣
Haha thank you!
Dwarf fortress development was kept alive for years from fan donations so there’s that, though it isn’t an MMO
How is it an advertisement if when you click on it you get viruses?
I don't think normal ads do that.
Not that I never heard or seen anything about Raid Shadow legends, I just skip all "Ads" or sponsored Advertisement.
