I actually did. After playing since 2006, I stopped in 2014 after a while lot of bad / poor development decisions.

But I wanted to come back because this was my first mmorpg. Only to see that the current player base that emerged as a result of rs3 changes, is now being the reason of rs3 Downfall, which is lovely and sad at the same time.

I left the game for a whole lot of reasons, but seeing the player base defending with teeth and nails this anti social paradigm is maddening and being absurd.

But it's ok tbh, learned my lesson with rs3 and learned my leased after 2 stupid xpacs on wow. I currently play osrs which is by far way closer to an mmorpg than this game currently and sadly is, but never paying for any jagex product ever again.

So do have fun with your solo mmo, because it's probably all you're gonna get. Just make sure you use bonds for your sub instead of real money (if bonds are still a thing), don't wanna see you cry over spilled money when the last server of rs3 or any other jagex product shuts down.

Because in the end its all you mongrels deserve, with this behavior and segregation. The community makes the game, not the devs - the devs only attract or shun away the community.
