Dilbert, isn't advertising other non-Jagex games against the RS forum rules? Anyway if Jagex do lose a lot of customers that's not good for RS3 either.

I am not advertising the other games. I don't tell anybody to go play the other games. I prefer to play RS3, as I mentioned, but there won't be sour grapes to me if OSRS players go play non-Jagex games due to

natural selection

. The point is Jagex obviously want departing OSRS players to play RS3 and their other games, but they have no control over natural selection. The only thing they can do is to put up competitive quality in Necromancy (and the other games) so OSRS will rather stay with the company.

Companies that are confident in their products often tell their customers to go try out other products of other companies and they will return and buy their products. I am confident even OSRS players try out other games will come back to play Necromancy and other RS3 content too.

No. I am not advertising non-Jagex games. I just expressed my confidence in Necromancy and RS3. Even if they aren't as competitive as other games, they will adapt fast because they have the solid foundations built with over 15 years of unique technologies and IPs.

Actually RS3 has been "advertising" other games. They talked about doing storytelling like Bioware, and minigames and Flash Events like GW2... but wait... they aren't advertising their competitors. They are just respecting them and acknowledging RS3 can do what the other games are good for, and perhaps they can do it even better.

Essentially, RS3 is advertising themselves rather, but instead of bad mouthing their peers with faked stats like concurrent player count that quickly got laughed about by renowned game critics pointing them out as AI chat bots and potential government inquires, they are selling RS3 with updates as good as their peers the entire world can see and play.

Even 8 year old kids know the meaning of The Northwind and the Sun fable. It is another illustration of the unstoppable natural selection. Good games like RS3 make friends with other games, so they can be all good and getting better and better. They don't make enemies and become a laughingstock to the game industry, if not the entire real world. The game industry is crowded with 800 pounds gorillas and pink elephants. RS3 would be foolish to try to make them invisible to their players anyway.

For the record, Mod Light, an OSRS CM, has been livestreaming GW2 often recently too. Did she advertise GW2 just because she played GW2?
