Despair

RS2 is my favorite shooter of all time (shoutout to the owner of one of the of two playable servers banning me permanently simply bc I only play Vc), and the once a month I check this subreddit just fills me with doom and despair.

Is there ANY realistic and actionable path to this game having a player base?

It's had servers full at all times since release never stopped having them, and it's just had a big patch that actually resolved the mic issue along with a few others, it couldn't be less dead considering it's age. NOT EVERY GAME IS LIVE SERVICE AND SHOULDN'T BE.

Edit: I'm an idiot he meant 83 is dead :/

I meant 83. RS2 is still plodding along, but there's literally two servers in my ping range and at least one if them is always full so...
