The way i see it, by implementing these updates it will cause many players to return from their hiatus, but also may cause just as many people to quit. Lets say that runescape has 100,000 people joined (i could find the exact number but this is just an example) Lets say that of the 10% who say no, 7% actually quit because of it. Thats 7,000 people. Now, ther couldnt have been TOO many people quit when free trade and wildy went away, im assuming its at the most 25%. Runescape had been building up still, so lets say that there were 80,000. Thats 20,000 people who quit. Now take into account the people who just plain quit, the people who think runescape is a "kids game", the ones who forgot all of their account info, or the people who (might) have passed on in some sort of tragedy. My guess is that would cut down by at least 50%, so thats 10,000 people. That means that the net gain is almost the same, and that all youve done is added 3000 players and made 3000 very unhappy.
Just a thought.
----------------------------------------------------
That is some terrible analysis.. You cannot just make up percentages... You like the rest of us have absolutely no idea the % of people that quit. I admire the attempt but really?
Also, It not just about the people who quit. Its about consumer satisfaction. Consumers being the people who do and DONT pay for the game.
You also have no idea of the knock on effects eg. how many non members did not become members as a result of a worse game... etc..
There are so many variables, your kind of analysis is totally flawed and useless. (Sorry :)
All we know is90% of the people who have voted in this poll think the wildy should come back. And thats a majority, wheather jagex think it a big enough majority from the numbers of people who voted is entirely up to them.

Thanks for reading...

"in game and the forums it is full of old players rejecting the idea it is only these new players that have seen these websites and want all of this cheap gold."
**Actually, probably 99% of the 90% that voted yes are old players who miss the old days.
"May i also mention that after you took the wilderness away and free trade away you did not even loose that many players"
**I'd say going from over 500k people online to 100-150k at a time is losing a lot.
"more bots now than ever, i do not think so i never see anyone by the trees in Draynor or Falador any more."
**That's because they are smarter about it now. They go more places, instead of a horde of them in the exact same spot. Ever fish in the fishing guild? Ever go to any popular mining spot? You'll see.

"I feel that there should be a World of Warcraft style PvP option available or world available where you can PvP and do skills in the rest of the world. not like some world where it restricts you just to Edgeville/wilderness."
**LOL. I'm not even gonna go to the WoW thing, but that's not what the players want. I'm assuming you started after 2007, but if not, you should know that pking isn't the same unless it's EXACTLY how it was. I, personally don't pk, but I know how others would feel.
"as today there is still gold farming being done and accounts being traded"
**Exactly, and there is little Jagex can do about this, but they are trying and they always will be/

wouldn't it fun to walk in varrock central hearing merchants yelling "selling dragon hatchet 2.5m!" and "selling dragon hatchet 2m!" and you would be torn between the prices and make trading a whole lot better!
also wilderness now is plain BORING! I WALK IN WILDERNESS AND I FIND NO ONE! NO ONE AT ALL!!! it will be more exciting and fun and challenging!
i think this is a GREAT opportunity.
P.S : what game doesn't have scamming, every game has! IT'S ONLY NATURAL. i once got scammed and now i look back at that moment and i laughed and i say "good times, good times..."...
JAGEX! HERE IS A SOLUTION!!!!!!! LISTEN TO AgileDolph MAKE SAFE WORLDS!!!!!!! IT IS A GREAT SUGGESTION!!!!

well people need to start using their brains. I for one didnt have an issue with scammers/lures back then all i did was think things over and from the looks of things there are still scammers roaming around near the G.E

@ Agile
You don't know how many people have already suggested that. First of all, they already know. Second of all, there is a J Mod reading all of these. They also answer questions in clan chats, so I'm sure someone has suggested it there. Don't worry, they've heard everyone's suggestions and I'm sure already know what they're going to do.
