I hope this forum doesn't go out of control.
The thing is that most people think about scamming, botting, and cheating in some shape form of way. Thinking about this, and how many people really do cheat on a daily basis is horrendous.
The reason Jagex has thought of this simple pin point plan is to bring back the community they had before. BEFORE this all happened every world you tried to join was full. Before the update happened hundreds of people would gather around big bank and make their own deals. There was no grand exchange, or drop system that was trying to be perfected.
If you think about the community people really got interested in one thing, pking. The masses you saw in the wilderness, (unlike today) were amazing. Every world had something to do with it. People didn't have soul split, or god swords, they had skill. This game was its own game until they released that update. I don't want this message to become some debate over why this RuneScape is worse than the old RuneScape, I would only wish for people to remember why the whole reason they played this game for. Friends, and to get stuff off their minds. (I on the other hand play for people's items, "pking".)
Knowing the name Kids Ranqe you would remember he was pure skill, he got donations because people saw a true player working to grow the style he has brought us to today. Pures, yes people may say they are a "pure" but in the old days, a pure didn't have defense, a pure didn't have over 52 prayer, and a pure sure didn't need a godsword to kill somebody with.
The massive amount of lag that the +1 worlds create is also a problem, you want to pk but have no chance too. The graphis on the game have become a little better, but trying to compete with blizzard will get you nowhere Jagex. This is RuneScape and this is why I play this, and spend money on this each month. You may say I sound like an old RuneScape fanatic, but the truth is that I like this game.
Hope this brings good memories.
