What are the Differences Between RuneScape & Brighter Shores? 

Haha it has been way too long! I'm glad you're still here after all this time. 😁

Hi mudkip

100% agree. I think this game has the potential to appeal to a lot of different people. Thanks for checking it out and sharing your thoughts!

Give me a shout if you see me in-game! :D Thanks for checking it out

Think it’s meant to style a more table top game rather than an open world dungeon. Seems mmo and very rpg. Guess we will have to see. Don’t knock it to you try it

Definitely understand what you mean. A lot of people have expressed this concern and I hope it won't be immersion-breaking. I like the table-top aesthetic though so I'm still excited!

“What if Dungeoneering was an entire game instead of a skill?” You know, that’s not the worst idea out there.

I'm glad you checked it out! Hope to see you in-game. It shouldn't be much longer now

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think the exploration factor might still be there though. Give it a shot. I'd love to hear your opinion after launch!

It's coming out in Quarter 3 of this year, so should be July - September. I believe there's also going to be a beta test before then so it should all happen pretty quickly!

I can't wait either. Hope to see you in-game!

@@parabornn For sure 😎 I appreciate the breakdown!

I can't wait either. It should be fun! 🥳

It's looking like it's going to have a Q3 release this year. So July-September. There should be a beta test before that though.

@@parabornn sweet, interested to try for sure.

@@Rustyhobo5 Hope to see you in-game 😁

Thanks for the warm welcome! Glad to be back 😎

Maybe not on launch but I would be surprised if they didn't add PvP in some form down the line.

hopefully not! pking isn’t necessary for the game to thrive and be successful! it’s just a nuisance and annoying, so no, i don’t think PKing will be in the game and i’m positive a huge majority of people will agree and be happy that that is the case.

Yeah, definitely a lot of problems with bots in both f2p and p2p. It definitely won't get rid of botting but OSRS had to ban trading of certain resources for new f2p accounts for the same reason. So hopefully this combined with the other things will at least act as a deterrent.

I think its a great decision, it will help cut down bots, and what harm does it do? aslong as free players can use a market place its not an issue for me. Great choice

I can't wait! Hope I see you in-game 😁

@@parabornn i will def be there!

Hahaha it's not out yet, but I appreciate the support 🤗 hope to play with you soon.

Definitely possible, not a lot of new MMOs thrive these days. I think he is bringing a lot of what he learned from Runescape to this game though. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised 😁

@@parabornn i’ll defo try it out. I just think it looks too laid back for me. And a little basic for the time he’s put into it since leaving rs. Again if this dude and his brother remade runescape lol that would be so sick

I know this is kind of a "cop out" response, but I could really see BS going one of two ways: • Instant success • Instant failure I think it could be wildly successful for a few reasons. If the grind is "perfected", it stands to reward like OSRS, but not be such a miserable slog -- potentially drawing OSRS players in. BS seems more accessible than OSRS. I can't convince anyone to play OSRS with me, because once they realize it takes "hundreds of hours" to get to relevant/fun content, they back out. If its done right, I think their is a good chance OSRS players play BS, like it, and divide their time between BS and OSRS. If this happens, and BS has better progression, its likely a fair amount will evaluate their time spent, and main play BS. If people start getting a "feel" for BS, and inviting other players who may not have wanted to play OSRS, that could see it rise to popularity. ... But, it could also be a shabby OSRS/RS3 reskin, people feel like its a "clone" of a game they've already invested hundreds of hours into, and it gains no traction among the playerbase that already likes this sort of game. Cause, lets be honest: BS will live or die by its ability to attract OSRS/RS3 players. Anyone who likes this style of gameplay is already playing OSRS/RS3 -- and have invested hundreds, if not thousands, of hours. BS has to convince them (consciously or subconsciously) that BS is a better time investment.

@@WilliamMcAdams Yeah, my perspective is similar to yours. I think Brighter Shores might be more attractive to new players than RS3 or OSRS. Thanks for taking the time to write that out. 😁
