I'm posting about the first question on this weeks poll.
You have every answer but the 1 you don't want to see.
All say something along the lines of liking your character for many different reasons but none about how you don't like your character because they don't resemble you enough. I think there should be another big update on hair styles, beard types, and clothes that our character wear when not wearing anything equip-able.

Honestly i have a pretty average long hair style for guys ( Parted down the middle kind of, just covers my ears) but that's not even a option as a hair style. Its very common for guys with long hair too. Disappointment =\


Thanks for reading :)

I've been playing this game since 2001 off and on. I am motivated to play this game because I have already achieved so much and my friends still play. However if I have any constructive criticism i'd say that everything in this game takes much longer than it should. It's good to strive for big goals but with over 2 1/2 years of gametime, you already have made this game require huge amounts of time to master. I'd say there isn't nearly enough things that every player could enjoy immediately. Personally, I believe only the elite can enjoy the best things of this game. While the elite should be rewarded, your problem is thousands of players afking in order to reach some degree of an elite status. Thousands of players everyday afk all day long to raise skills, generate wealth, etc. The reason being is that everything takes so long to do. I think that in your position it must be a big issue that a huge percentage of your players are actually watching movies, surfing the web, etc. instead of truly playing the game. I would say that since your game already has 2 1/2 years of game time, why not make improvements to allow the masses to enjoy a new experience as soon as they log in? When I say this I mean that there should be plenty for everyone to just immediately jump in and enjoy. The closest thing you have to this would be minigames. However even those are mathematically "rigged" to require large periods of time to earn an item or reach goals. You are the creators and i'm sure you have ideas. I propose you create a poll asking how often people honestly afk while playing the game, and do players look for a way to train skills , generate wealth etc. while afking. I believe that may shed new light on what may need to be improved.
Lastly, when you look at "how many players are currently online" ask yourself, out of that number, how many of those people are watching movies, how many people are looking at videos on the web, and lastly how many people are fully participating?

I started playing because my best friend played. He quit but I kept playing because friends from school did. Eventually they quit playing too and so did a lot of my other RS friends. It was lonely for a bit, but I kept on 'scaping because I still enjoyed the game for what it was. Old friends would pop in every now and then to see how the game had changed and to see who still played.

Eventually, I decided that that wasn't good enough for me. I wanted things to be like they used to be. I wanted to be able to talk and hang out with friends like I used to, so I decided to join a clan. The clan I joined was also in a union- one of the most active unions I've seen so far. To this day, I've never enjoyed playing Runescape more than I do now. Yes, it's a game, but that's the whole point of it- to have fun! (And who doesn't like to have fun :P )

All in all, the moral of the story is that Runescape is more fun when you have people to play it with :)

What's my motivation?

My motivation is simply the people..

I've been playing this game for around ten years and I think the thing that keeps me coming back is the people. The great friends I've made over the years, The great people I meet everyday and the great friends to come.

I also love to observe how the game and the company, JaGeX itself, is developing and expanding.

I love interacting in group conversations in Clan chats.

I'm a power Trainer trying to max my account with 99 everything so it is very time consuming, but I don't afk or break the rules any more like I used to as a teenager because I'd love to one day become a moderator or get more involved somehow...I'm just not sure how....so I spend my time training 99s or running around gielinor helping the needy, which I find very rewarding when you can turn a person from a raging defeatest ready to quit runescape and throw in the towel, to an enlightened happy grateful Runescapian. I love the way hundreds of players know they can pm me anytime for help. I hope this answered your question.

But that's enough jibber jabber from me...

Ok, ok...

I woke up this morning with an abselutely awesome quest idea, aswell as an poll idea, here's my "Player Submitted poll" questions, which would be nice to put there. ;)

=Start

Q: What kind of Quest would you like to see in near future?

A1: A new GrandMaster Quest involving The Majharrat Lucien cooperating with Nomad against Azzanadra (from Temple at Senntisten), which requires Nomad's Requiem, Temple at Senntisten and While Guthix Sleeps to do. <- My Favourite answer.

A2: Part five of the Myreque Chain.

A3: The next penguin Quest.

A4: I don't really like Quests.

A5: None of the options given above.

=End

Well, correct my spelling fails, if you can find any, and the first "answer" migth be shortened. :P

My motivation is simply the fact that I've put so much time into it yet achieved so little. Now my goal is to achieve something proportionate to the time I spent in this game...
To be absolutely honest, this isn't very fun for me but this is pretty much the best my computer can handle :|
