The biggest year for Runescape in 2021 was a sign that it continues compete with other prominent MMORPGs which have been released in the last few years. The month of February saw the much-anticipated worldwide launch of Lost Ark, a popular game that was previously only available only to South Korea since its launch in the year 2018. and Amazon has launched its entry into the MMORPG genre the month of September, with New World. Jagex as well as Runescape are well-versed with the flow and ebb of MMORPGs and have been around for more than two decades with OSRS Accounts, and the creator could hope to have similar successes with ELDERGATE.

Runescape as well as Outriders aren't the only two games that people imagine playing in tandem so the sight of the Runescape player addressing r/Outriders could be a shock. However, it resulted in a positive post and discussion among people who play both games. It all boils down to one Former Jagex staffer: David Osborne, otherwise popularly known within the Runescape community as Mod Osborne.

Osborne recently announced on LinkedIn that he's resigning from Jagex after 15 years of editing content along with narrative design, as well as lead design. The decision was made according to his own words, to "test his experience with the rest of his sector." Osborne is leaving Jagex and will join Square Enix on the publishing side as an Senior Designer. He'll oversee "some incredible games" starting with Outriders.

The news prompted Redditor FatNWackyRS to contact the Outriders on r/Outriders, with a short message on Mod Osborne and his role as the "warm friendly "Dad" face of Jagex." FatNWackyRS describes all the things Mod Osborne has done for the community throughout his career, including a few videos, including performing as Mod Elfborne in order to promote Prifddinas (an Elf City in Runescape) as well as taking part in livestreams and working with the company's mission.

Hello outriders! I'm from the r/runescape channel. You might not be aware yet, but you're getting an awesome team member. From outriders

Although some communities or players are upset over losing a brand name, FatNWackyRS invited other Runescape players to comment on their experiences. One user, for example feels like they've won and lost when playing simultaneously in Runescape as well as Outriders. Many were excited by the announcement, including those who have never had a conversation with Osborne prior to this positive endorsement from one of the Runescape community.

In fact, what exactly happens on the other edge that Outriders fence is yet to be determined, but Fans are aware that lots of positive things are expected to come for the franchise. Outriders' Worldslayer expansion is expected to be revealed in the spring, and is scheduled to launch in the coming year as well as beyond. People Can Fly has a variety of other projects in development process, including a game that will be released together with Square Enix. It is unclear if Osborne is involved in this, however, remains to be determined.

FatNWackyRS concludes his post by leaving a brief and heartfelt message for Osborne should he happen to read it: A heartfelt thank you for all that he's performed in the name of Runescape and warm best wishes for his tenure with Square Enix. "We cherish you, will miss you and would like to wish you the best of success throughout your exciting future ventures together with Square Enix," the Redditor wrote in behalf of the RS community.
