So stoked to see you react to it!! Was hoping some WoW guys would stumble on this project :)

J1mmy is such a gem to the runescape community, awesome to see him trying to branch out a bit and it doing well for him

My dad played WoW, so he didnt mind paying my sub. He said "Id rather you be a nerd than a drug addict, stay home and play WoW with me"

fucking hilarious that xaryu used to play wow like he was edward scissorhands

OSRS fixes a lot of these problems because it has a core design philosophy where the game doesn't even really expect you to get to max level. It certainly doesn't require it. The old quests are still relevant, and you're practically never going to run out of content. You can put it down for years and pick right back up where you left off and continue your story from there without being thrust into a storyline with characters you'd never heard of. The server issue also isn't a problem in OSRS because you hop worlds whenever you want. They've got reasons why you'd want to be in a low pop or a high pop world depending on your activity, so there are always nearly full worlds.

Hell yeah J1mmy kicks ass. One of the funniest OSRS content creators

J1mmy is what you call an actual content creator. He isn't just some semi-lucky streamer who makes :O faces in all their thumbnails

dude that subscription log is absolutely INSANELY good parenting

J1mmy gave such an objective and perfect outsider view of WoW.

No bias, no prejudice, both goods and bads

The contract your dad made you do is actually such good parenting! Allows you to enjoy the game you want to play and yet makes you earn it and have responsibilities. That’s great parenting !

when my two world combine

The beauty of the video is the line "the first experience you have sets the pace for the rest of the game" and now in WOW the experience is "hurry up, you aren't high enough level" and that is the feeling in retail. Constant rushing to get bigger numbers, but classic the experience was "explore".

You should get in touch with J1mmy and have him take you through OSRS

That log is amazing education

I played WoW for the first time when Shadowlands came out and I didn't see a single thing about Shadowlands. All I saw was this cool Troll city where I bred dinosaurs for a quest. I had no idea what was going on but those quest were fun. Nothing was really explained about the world and I had no idea how to do anything other than quest. I quit playing since it cost a lot to play.

First character was a troll hunter. Walking into org for the first time and seeing people on wolves/raptors with glowing weapons I was hooked instantly.

I fucking love J1mmy! So glad you did a react of his video

Its cool that J1mmy took a look into wc3 and used it to help build the story because we have to remember the story of warcraft started as a RTS then continued it through a MMO.

Roughly 1:38 I think this is how parenting should be. I understand not every parent can afford extra things but this shows value in time and money and how the world works essentially.

I think the solution is an expansion of what FFXIV did. Keep classic leveling speed, start the with base game and progress them through the story in expansion order. Add life skills and rp elements outside of leveling to bring people back to lower areas and encourage interaction.
