“We thought changing it a bit made sense,” West says,”but players were not RuneScape gold on board with the first proposal we shared on stream. And , well, Reddit went wild.”
The memes came hard and quick. Some players said it was too much like existing armor, including armor from Runescape 3, the newer, mainline version of Runescape. Most demanded a return to the prototype designs. Others believed the new armor did not look tanky enough and generously provided a few alternatives, with some calling for a more drastic redesign.
It got so bad that some players started to seriously feel that a meme the upgraded armor was by a different artist, and that the artist that made the prototypes had left Jagex. But something amazing happened. Even as memes blotted out the sun, gradually but certainly serious suggestions began to shine through.
It started with crude Photoshop jobs, but shortly proper illustrations and fan art started to buy OSRS gold. Players rallied around the idea of a bulkier, blessed armor group inspired by the Runescape god Saradomin, so that they moved back into West’s prototype layouts and made a few changes.
Driven by the memes and motivated by elements of West’s designs and other players’ ideas, legend_arts made a hybrid armor design so great it not merely silenced the memes, it captured the attention of West himself.
