Hi North Warden,
I'm glad you're enjoying the game! If you have ideas of how it could be improved you could always post in the 8Realms Feedback or Suggestions forums. The developers will be keeping an eye on the threads there. :)

Ah so thats where our money went to....to a lame ass ripped game (and I played the beta version).
But what I don't understand.
8Realms is a Jagex product....so is RS....but beside these 2 games there are like 20 or so more (lame) games.
Why promote it here on RS while the most here don't even care about anything other but RS.
Are you really that desperate?
If so...then promote your main site Jagex.*** and not some lame ass ripped game which is payed by the rs member community who hardly got any descent customer service or real improvements to the product they are paying for.
Stop wasting our money on sidetrack stuff that only interests like 2000 people...and start making rs better in all its aspects.
Because if I take a sharp look....rs aint that impressive anymore...graphics might seem cool, but other games beat that with a mile at least.
RS has not been challenging ever since you started to listen to all them noobs complainting its all so slow and hard to train so you stuffed this game with bs minigames and xp presents.
And still you wonder why this game is down the drain.....oke the bots were part of it....but not spending the money you recieved from your rs customers in rs but in other projects....that is what is killing you.
Now you promote 8Realms (a FB game copy) when do start promoting Stellar Dawn?...and when the next failed project you come up with?
No wonder you missed out on the golden joystick this year.....the only price you deserve is "how to ruin a perfectly good product in 5 years award".

Im not mad....im disapointed in you Jagex....wasting my hard earned money on lame ass about to fail projects.
_______
This was posted in a other 8realms vip thread as well....let me see you respond to this.
Those friendly posts about how happy you are and all just make me feel creepy.

Hi Purus Feles,
Going from many of the posts in this thread, players are interested in other games we have created and want to try them out. I know that if I like a particular game or brand that I want to find out if they have other shiny stuff that I would be interested in. :)
In relation to the development concerns you've raised; although there is a team working on 8Realms the RuneScape development team has never been more busy. This year should be very exciting in terms of updates to existing content and for new content. Don't give up on them before you try them out! Although not all changes are to everyone's taste there is enough variety that there should be something for everyone. :D

"Going from many of the posts in this thread, players are interested in other games we have created and want to try them out."
Once again, why only promote 8Realms and not the Jagex site where many more games can be found?
(and to be very honest all those games makes me wish I still had my Comodore 64 or MSX 2...meaning they are not from this century, outdated, very cheap and basic)
Also, if you (plural) mainly read and respond to the positive posts and/or subjects...then its no wonder that Runescape is going to hell atm.
You (plural) mainly address the positive stuff (for example: Runefest had more J-mod attention then all the other forums all together) and appear to neglect those who raise serious problems in well constructed threads that get overrun and demolished by ass-kissing Jagex lovers (who mainly post here on the forums together with troll-ranters who are never satisfied).
For example, you do take the time to promote 8Realms or intensively respond on the subject Runefest, but hardly any time is taken to debate/respond on all the concerns RS PLAYERS have about things that are destroying RS (the massive scamming and gambling, the lack of challenging content, the ruined economy, the completely unfit game mindset for example)...yes a few J-mods posted...but never in such a way that those who care and worry about the welfare of THIS game notice that you acknowledge these problems, honestly care with them and try to find a solution.
You want feedback from us, but we love feedback as well especially about the things that are ruining RS ingame.
For this reason I for one (and there are many more non posting players who agree) cannot understand that you take the time promoting 8Realms like this, while there is a pile of problems that DESERVE your time and attention.
RS is going down the drain, members quit and you happily promote a new product partly payed with RS membership money....what message do you think that sends?
Not all of us are kids you now ;)

Thats what you said last year and the only impressive content I can recall is Branches of Drakmeyer (even the intensive promoted and long awaited Ritual of the Mahjarat (story was cool) was not of THAT quality)...that was of the quality I was used to and not the half done and full of bugs content you have been releasing for a while now.
I won't derail this thread any further, but you get my point I hope.....if not you do not deserve loyal and caring customers.

Hi Purus Feles,
Our main site is promoted through the Jagex Logo at the bottom of our site page. As for 8Realms getting a thread in this forum; it's the VIP launch of the game and it gives RuneScape players a chance to try it out before the full launch. :D
As for the types of games and what they remind you of, don't you enjoy playing a variety of games including the classics? On my 3DS I've downloaded many of the games I used to have on the original Game Boy, not to mention games from the other consoles and I find them just as enjoyable although I'm a little rusty.
It's definitely worth trying out new games before making a judgement and if they aren't what you enjoy that's fair enough but feedback is useful. It's also likely that other games would be the type that you'd enjoy if this one isn't.
In relation to where we post, if you check out the Recent Updates forums or where the majority of J-mods post you will notice that we don't shy away from negative posts or feedback, this includes times when we have events going on like RuneFest. It's not possible to post on all topics throughout the forums but if serious issues are raised then it's very likely they will have been noticed and the details passed along to be looked into.
My role is Event and Competition support. I also help provide support for threads like this where we want to promote information to the community and answer questions. Fortunately this doesn't result in other areas being neglected! This is a large company and there is a separate team that provides support for other areas of the forums such as Account Help and the Feedback/Update forums. We are all part of the Community Engagement team though and we all care about the game and how the players react to content or issues taking place. Feedback is provided where possible but some situations or issues can't be discussed. If we can give information on a situation then we will.
You mention about the content from last year. You have forgotten the in-game clan systems and the citadels. I was involved in those updates and think it's awesome. Having a proper clan database and giving functionality to clans that they've needed for years is a huge win. :D
We will always work to keep and reward our loyal customers who clearly care a lot about the game. This doesn't mean we will neglect bringing in new players to the game though! The game is always going to be changing but nothing is done lightheartedly or without large amounts of planning and work.
Anyway, I should probably stop there. If you do happen to try out 8Realms let me know what you think. :)

I did play the 8Realms Beta on my other account (in case you want to check it...it was on Purus Lusor)...and imo its a game that one plays next to their office job as a distraction or beside being active in a chat lounge and only needs to be checked up on once every so many minutes / hours.
I am well aware that there are several departments within Jagex and the CM team...I also know of the thread you refer to I am also aware of the fact that some subjects can't be debated (like how you fight bots for example)...but...hardly no j-mod dares to debate and by so take a stand on subjects like scamming and the gambling problem...yes 1 or 2 political correct answers will be posted but besides that its the players who debate each other.
Its still a shame that there still is no Dutch CM mod, and from the looks of it I fear there never will be one (vacancy for commercial Jagex employee but not Dutch cm mod).
I understand that its impossible to respond in every single thread....but what is not impossible is to create a debate thread about a subject that really lives within the RS community and in which feedback is given from Jagex's side or even participation in the debate.
As for the clan citadel...imo it is creating an even bigger gap between the players and pushes player to be part of "a group"...this started with Dungeonering and the following team based content ever since...."be part of a group or be nothing" thats the message your sending atm..dividing especially f2p from p2p and the rich from the poor...it was not good for the game.
And if I want to play nostalgic games...I'll play the good old originals and not the newly created ripped variations...partly payed with money that should have been invested in RS as those members payed for the maintenance and upgrades of RS

I'll leave it at this, but I hope Jagex starts debating with their customers on subjects that live within the community and by so providing feedback both ways....and with community I mean all the players...not just the ones who are active on the forums.
Still, I find it insulting in a certain way that j-mods do respond to positive subjects in a active way but hardly do the same concerning more serious subjects.
A political correct written text by a j-mod that is being ripped a part with opinions and facts as the player sees it left undefended by that or a j-mod only tells those players they are right...and a lot of players who provide constructed negative feedback experience this and "think" (or really are) they are right as Jagex stays silent and does not proof otherwise or acknowledges the problem at hand.
I am sorry to bark up your tree, but at least you respond in a way I expect a J-mod to respond.
I'll stop now, but would love to debate more about this with any j-mod in any thread.
Excuse me from derailing your thread, but this point had to be made clear so that you at Jagex can act on it improving your feedback gathering and providing.
Good luck with 8Realms, I won't be playing it.
