@FredUp
D chains didn't become cheaper for that reason, mate. They became cheaper because BETTER armours were released. Not because they were extremely common but because better armours could be got more easily and hence, d chain has become pretty much obselete. Why do you think barely anyone wears one nowadays? Simple, because they can just go get Bandos armour or D plates instead. Why do more people have Bandos now even though it's more expensive than d chain now? Because people are richer and can afford it and would rather buy Bandos which is more expensive as it is better than d chain.

The economy had fewer super rich players in pre trade limit days, mate. There are tons more people with p hats, max cash and all that now. Before trade limits, the richest person would have been lucky to have been able to buy 10 sets of 3rd age melee when the richest person now could maybe buy 10 Christmas crackers or more.

pleas stop fighting a losing battle
Indeed, people would pay 150m back then for a super rare enviable item. And 50m for the best armour in the game.
Nowadays people will pay 600m for the same partyhat and 600m for a shield.
Please if you're going to 'pick holes' in my point don't leave yours open to an absolute smashing by me.

Well I really miss free trade, I missed like my friends helping me out, and giving gifts to my friends... I don't miss the wild at all, because people are rude and I don't PK or like it, so I'd go into the wild for other reasons like clues and stuff, and people would kill me, so not necessarily looking forward to old wild, maybe have certain worlds with old wild and some with wild non PK? For quests, clan wars, FOG, Mage Arena, and clues?

A. That's 2008, as in not long after the removal of wild and free trade, when people were still fighting and hoping with every new update that it would come back.
B. That's Canada, one country, and that's not saying much.
C. Runescape is like 500something overall in most searched
D. There was an article mentioning Wizard101 passed it up in the US I believe.
E. I have nothing more.

I have said this before, and I shall say it again. When comparing Runescape to other MMORPGs like WoW, I notice one thing that makes the one better and the other worse: security. No I don't mean Account stealing, or pass scamming, that will exist no matter what you do. I mean detection. For as long as I can remember, Jagex has hidden their methods on how they catch botters; however, for as long as I can remember it would take them a few weeks to actually bann the player/players from the game as a result. My friend used a third party program to give him an advantage over people in game, and WoW banned him in 1-3.........minutes. So, what is different? SECURITY. If Jagex needs to focus on anything this new year, it is beefing up their detection methods to catch cheaters, not providing us with a crap load of new content. If I may say so, there is a lot of content on Runescape that a ton of people haven't even tapped into yet. I say take a break on content and establish hard core security measures. Think about it, WoW has free trade, have they ever gotten rid of it? No, because they know how to get rid of people who don't deserve to play. As far as being scammed goes. Think before you act. The majority of the time, people spam click "accept trade" because they are so excited about that new dragon scimmy they just got, but wait, they just figured out it is an iron scimmy instead! Oh no! SCAMMED. Think. Take the time to look at what you are doing, where you are going and who you are with. Don't be afraid to report. If you think that reporting someone makes u a noob, then you are the noob my friend, for reporting makes the game that much better to play.

2007 10 most searched trms on yahoo no runescape


Posted December 1st, 2008 by Morvelaira
From the Tales of the Weird!
Yahoo has released their top 10 most searched terms of 2008. Surprisingly, not only did a game make the list, but it was a free to play MMO, to boot! RuneScape, everyone's favorite FTP MMO made number five on the list, beating out Naruto, Angelina Jolie and American Idol. The list was topped out by the ever gossip-able Brittany Spears.

Im not supprised you are against the update... you had your prices COMPLETELY wrong!!
purple partyhat dipped well below 90m around a year before the update, I remember because I had a big discussion about it with my friend.
FRED BEING THE MOST SEARCHED THING ON YAHOO (yay! yahoo :| ) DOES NOT MEAN THAT AFTER 2007 RS HAS BEEN STEADILY LOSING TRAFFIC.
The guy earlier even backed up my claim by checking it himself
