who plays Old School Runscape?

i would, but unfortunately the login service is now blocking my country for reasons (probably the default of their infrastructure they didn't bother to change). i foolishly thought the problem was with my account being legacy, so i upgraded to a jagex account but now not only their launcher doesn't have native support for linux, I can't even launch the launcher because it fails to initialize without contacting the login service, so i can't even trick it to launch the game with runelite. it's bullshit.
to be clear i expect this bullshit from american live service games but:
jagex is based in UK not the US.
i couldn't find any trade clauses or mention of sanctions in jagex TOS.
i was able to play this game without issues as late as this year's pride event.
there was some login issues a few days ago maybe they accidentally blocked us when fixing it. i guess I'll complain about it in their discord but i don't expect anything out of it.
- Dunno if it'll help with your login issues but I've been playing on linux with a jagex account via bolt
  
  well it's definitely better than the ad hawk solution i was using but nope it doesn't help. this is a sanctions issue. it seems like all services related to jagex accounts are blocked but otherwise everything else like the game server themselves are not blocked. jagex is really shitty about customer service i don't even know who to complain to about this. it looks like it's been going on for some time i just haven't noticed because i wasn't playing the game.

going for 99 agility rn

Ironluck is real
I already have full infinity so it wont be used, buts its neat to have

Playing it a ton. Trying to get my account rest for raiding with friends (not sure which specifically yet). Currently doing herbiboar to 99 Hunter.
- dm me your ingame name. looking to add friends

I’ve played like 600 days across a few accounts since release in 2013, barely log in anymore. I have a maxed iron with lots of cox kc and pre 2017 boss kc but really tapered off playtime since then. One day I’ll go back for toa and tob and whatever else.

I have like 3k+ hours but I haven't really played in the last year or so besides leagues

I used to play runescape a lot when I was younger, I think I have ~100 days played on my rs3 account. I've tried getting into it again a few times but the grind coupled with having to redo a bunch of content on old school puts me off each time. Rs3 is too alien to me now and I don't like how it focuses on boss content now because the game just wasn't made for it.
Anytime I get the desire for leveling skills, longer-term progression, and doing things in a large world I play either Zomboid or Kenshi. Twice in the past 6 years I played on a private server which was also kind of fun for a bit with global xp increases.

I got a "Offensive language major ICU" 3-day mute while doing Mourning Ends 2 because I said I was going to do a Maoist purge of my landlord with my Galil after the rent went up by R1000.
The appeal was pending all this time until the 1-year offense expiry, lmao.
