I just got a job and have been thinking about getting a membership again to play UIM. But I remember the debacle last year and don’t want to give money to a company like that.

Have things gotten better? Google isn’t helping me.

      Ugh fuck then then. No gay no pay.

      Any suggestions for something similar? I was thinking really enjoying my UIM run.

        Unfortunately there really isn’t anything super close to OSRS to my knowledge. You could do a F2P run, at least then you’re not paying.

      I didn’t know either but there’s a RuneScape wiki which says they had pride evens in 2017 and then again 2022-2024. However:

      “The 2025 Pride event was scrapped due to CEO Mod North deeming it “controversial in a way it didn’t used to be”.”

    They promoted the gambling plugin which allows you dress in rainbow gear in wintertodt for less damage.
