They took the same approach with quests, with the last few years showing the majority falling in the range of either ‘novice’ or ‘grandmaster’ with very few in-between*
**. 4 – Dead content/ Lack of upkeep
With all the problems the monarch was facing, instead of updating the entertainment (minigames) for the peasants morale to increase, they let the entertainment wither away, along with the morale, with no care in sight. Instead, they put most of their infrastructure focus on making their kingdom’s graphics look great rather than make it functional. Which, in their defense, goes along with the saying “built it and they will come”. However, with other kingdoms like LoL and WoW whose grass is way greener on the other side, the monarch needs to change with the times and realize that listening to their inhabitants would have a positive effect on them*
**. 5 – Lack of community/Customer support
The moderators over the kingdom of Gielinor used to value their peasants’ wishes, only implementing updates “that [they are] comfortable releasing” (Mod Emilee). On the contrary, recent updates show major holes in storylines, giant glitches, and patches that take weeks (if not months) to be fixed. Even with all of these faults, the monarch expects the peasants to show their support by voting for them in best game of the year.
I for one will not be voting towards them, as respect is a two way street and I (along with many others) seem to be staring at a ‘DO NOT ENTER’ sign.

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my game and killed my browser
And torn it pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of RS3 beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad It got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people that are still in the game

Go ahead and leave us
I think I prefer to stay in RS
Maybe you'll find someone else to please you
Maybe Blizzard
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance

Is Runescape an alright game? Sure.

Does it deserve to win against its competition? No.

Is it even "Best F2P game?" No. If that was still a category, that would go to League of Legends.


We need less Squeal focus and less stupidly rehashed holiday events, and more loving, focused work put into the game.

Honestly, let's just compare the quality of "Tears of Guthix" and "Ritual of the Mahjarrat" to... "Birthright of the Dwarves" or even the last Penguin quest which I'll jokingly refer to as "Battleship Gallactica." BOT* had 2 decent-yet-glitchy fights and no lore impact, suffering the fact that every other quest in its line tops it in quality, storytelling, and the ability to last in our memory. Even your strongest aspect, unique quests, are very rapidly spilling out the drain.

Let your inevitable loss be an eye-opener to the quality of this game.

I voted for you, but it will be tough and, seeing how dead RS is now, I dun see a bright chance for you to win it.
Good luck.

Edit: Oh, and I hope this upcoming fail will warn you about the danger you are facing.
