/v(r?)/ is actually running a server of the old 200 version if you're feeling nostalgic.

People who feel overly nostalgic for this shit game were probably in grade school when they
played it.

Runescape is a reminder that all good things are ruined by China.
Just imagine if there were no gold farmers in 3rd world countries, you could actually earn
$5/hour or more in MMORPGs like Runescape because the supply of gold and items wouldn't vastly
outweigh the demand. There wouldn't be an absurd amount of inflation caused by thousands of
people in undeveloped countries farming gold as a full time job.
This is actually happening in the real world too. Thanks to trade agreements like NAFTA, GAT, and
soon TPP, millions of Americans (and other 1st world countries too) are losing jobs because these
manufactures cannot compete with China's incredibly low wages. Why is this happening? Because big
corporations would rather pay China to import the goods for 1/10th the cost than pay an American
company full price for a similar product.
This might not sound like a big deal to the average person, but essentially it means we're
quickly becoming more and more indebted to other countries. If this continues, China will have
enough power over our economy to make huge changes and eventually take over. That includes taking
away or infringing upon internet freedom.

Not exactly. This is mostly a stage china is going through, and in addition to that China is
growing far too fast for it's own good.
Wages are going up, and the economic growth is becoming one large bubble. They will eventually
either become like the US and Yurope, or it will all crash down.

OSRS is just rs3 with 2007 graphics

Real feels. What is the image? Is that the Stone of Jas?
Runescape is such a good game...

A fine point, however you must remember that it's not some amorphous entity growing richer, it's
Chinese businesses and people.
Should they acquire enough wealth without distributing it and educating the people, then the
people will rebel, as they have over and over again throughout history.
Thanks to the internet, the average person is well informed enough, even in China, to negate the
kind of total thought control needed to get away with feudalism.
The Chinese state knows this, and so allows a certain level of freedom and upward mobility. This
will reach a critical threshold of equilibrium, where their labor will no longer be so cheap.
Evidence of this flexibility can be seen in their current market situation. If they had this
amazing control, they wouldn't let their main index fall 8% in a month.
