Today's game is Old School Runescape. I was in the mood to hop on and mess around in the game, so i booted it up and did the Cake Quest (finally). It took me a while to find the bucket for the milk, but i eventually did it. While i was looking for the Dairy cows i found these goblins watching the Cows. I don't know if they're busted or Runescape's goblins are friendly, but they don't seem to attack me. I sat back and watched for a while until a player came by and slaughtered the cows and i went back to looking for the dairy cows.

Finding the bucket was difficult, and i spent a good 10 minutes looking. But eventually i found one in the basement of the Castle. I also made sure to grab a jug i needed for the flour nearby so i could future proof.

While searching for the mill i found another goblin, this one just watching the ducks. He seemed like a chill guy and i watched the ducks with him for a bit.

Finally though, i returned to the castle and turned in everything for the cake. It took me nearly 2 years to finally get around to this quest (the fact that i usually only hop on to dick around doesn't help either) but i finally did it. I even got a shiny little achievement for it. I was going to also look into buying a house tonight but it turns out the Houses are reserved for members only and i'm not really down for paying for a subscription for this game (or really any game).

Instead i left my player to squat in this random house with a cat i found until i finally log back on to mess around again half a year later. If he's anything like me he'd appreciate the cat.

I have to say I really loved RuneScape quests. Some of the quests are incredibly humorous and really clever.

The quest about neighbourhood wizard robbing a bank and the accompanying "security cam footage" of him "pwning noob players" during robbery but denying everything has stuck with me as a core memory.

    I love how casual it is. A lot of MMOs I feel like are very heavy fantasy, but RuneScape just goes wild which I love

    That is so true! And there (atleast when I played) wasn't much group content so you never had to stress about that either (unlike in other mmos)

    The minimal group content is very much appreciated lol. I know it kind of goes against the point but i don't like really doing group stuff

    Same, mostly because it's not relaxing anymore and you need to manage time as well. I can't always commit so much time unfortunately and we all know how toxic some MMO players can be! (not always but yeah)
