So we LOVE OSRS, but one thing that would be super cool would be a purely cosmetic feature that doesn't take an inventory slot
That would allow people to have their avatar in a wheelchair or other mobility aid. That way people can feel represented and it would make the game world more diverse.
Emotes might be hard, but we trust Jagex to figure something out ❤️

feels like it opens a door for a million other "disability representations" too so idk about this one chief

And more disability rep is bad?

sure if it goes from wheelchair to X, Y, Z etc because a certain minority wants to be represented, like can we also have fat characters to represent overweight people? can we have limping characters to represent whatever and so on

That sounds AMAZING. Some more diverse bodies and people would make the game so cool

i mean i might utilize that stuff as a meme but its not something i'd specifically advocate for, seems like a lot of dev work too to add a ton of different disability/disease/weight representation if that makes sense

Tbh, wheelchairs, different body types, crutches are all already in the game
They just can't be used by players

And that sounds like decent representation.

Look into WCMX (Wheelchair Version of BMX). Agility is totally possible

yeah but idk how they would make armor work with different body types, they'd need to create new separate armor designs for pretty much every item in the game for an overweight body type for example (just like they're forced to do with male/female items)
personally, even if it took zero dev time, i dont think "i want to be represented in this fantasy video game" is a valid take, but we can agree to disagree here

Fair enough. We will probably never agree on this

And that sounds like decent representation.
One item used in a corner of a dungeon, and a crutch used as a joke in a quest ain't it

correction: i wouldnt say its not a "valid take", but more so that i disagree with it because it seems super niche, and having a wheelchair/crutches/whatever ingame to represent ur irl condition isnt something that belongs in the game imo (respectfully, and like i said, agree to disagree, different perspectives and no hard feelings)

For full immersion maybe they could make it a character creation choice like IronMan mode, but (?)abled mode. It’d be like an agility-locked account that can’t use run energy. New youtube series content.

These all seem like good ideas for a plugin, but terrible ideas for the game

Do you understand how athletic people in wheelchairs are?
