“We thought changing OSRS buy gold a bit made sense,” West says,”but players weren’t quite on board with the original proposal we shared on stream. And , well, Reddit went wild.”The memes came hard and fast. Most demanded a return to the model designs. Others believed the new armor didn’t look tanky enough and generously provided some choices, with some calling for a more drastic redesign.
It got so bad that a few players started to seriously believe that a meme the upgraded armor was by another artist, and that the artist who left the prototypes had abandoned Jagex. But something amazing happened. Even as memes blotted out sunlight, gradually but surely severe suggestions started to glow through.
It started with crude Photoshop jobs, but shortly proper examples and fan art started to crop up. Players rallied around the idea of a milder, blessed armor group inspired by the cheap Runescape gold god Saradomin, so that they went back to West’s prototype designs and made a few changes.
Inspired by the memes and motivated by elements of West’s designs and other players’ suggestions, legend_arts created a hybrid armor layout so great it not merely silenced the memes, it captured the attention of West himself.
