- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Looks more restrictive even, why can I only see 20 tiles at a time? MMORPG is a hard genre to break into and I don't think just slapping his name on this one is going to attract much of a crowd when they are all busy with OSRS already.
The gower brothers have not been part of Jagex for about 10 years, but are all involved in the development of this game IIRC
Edit: I was slightly worried too but it looks like the handful of tiles is more of a fog of war/view distance type thing. These two screenshots seem to show it the clearest
I am well aware, but it doesnt change my opinion. Looks more suited to be an RPG than an MMO.
Looks like they are trying to attract the mobile audience, but they are too late for that aswell.
