Jagex were very forthcoming with RSC.
Letting players know that it would be closed to new entrants.
Letting players know that it would no longer be supported.
Allowing players to still play the unsupported version while possible.
Giving players plenty of advanced knowledge that RSC would have to close down.

Looks to me like they did care, but the help you want isn't feasible.

Well it wasn't playing for free, there was money just paid onto that or was thrown to support that project. There was a dev blog on revival left unattended.

They cared hmm is that why they particularly chose the dates to overlap with FunOrb closing, given that a significant portion also wanted to make the best out of the last days for FunOrb? Is that why no link was given over the webpage or jmods just removed and never replaced when we had them? Caring by not having in-game events with Jmods. There could possibly be a portion you want to admit as care was good, to me it wasn't good enough.

Under what perspective was better help, that again not only I wanted, not feasible?

"It is now 100% certain that we WILL keep RS1 running past the RS2 launch. We understand that some people don't like us changing things, so RS1 will be kept for those people, and we'll try to resist updating/changing it! RS2 will meanwhile continue to be updated on a regular basis for the people who do like updates."

It wasn't until far in the future, 2014+ that Jagex even hinted that the game is a "membership addition to the current game", instead of a game on it's on.

Unaltered was the plan from the get go. Closing it down was not.

You can attempt to justify it how you'd like, but it was wrong plain and simple.

Exactly. Draco, I've kindly asked you to find your way out of my threads. You've been previously warned by mods about this.

Thanks.

It isnt "wrong" as jagex is free to close any of their game whenever they want to.

Whether you choose to accept that or not is on you.

A corporation of JaGeX' size has foregone the interests of old. Promises made by the Gower brothers isn't what today's company represents.

I don't buy either into that the code couldn't be fixed. They way I understood it, some problems stemmed from the integration with the chat of RS3 and OSRS, as well as glitches in the old code.

They could've separated RSC into a fixed platform, separate from RS3 and OSRS. But they choose the easy way out.

---

I'll continue playing RS3, up and until they close it down, however.
Never drop a valuable item.

What exactly is he doing wrong here? Disagreeing with you? Should I also leave then, because I don't think Jagex did the whole RSC wrong?

Haven't you seen the Matrix? Everything with a beginning, has an end. RSC is no exception. It lasted extremely long, actually, way past its expiration date, I'd say.

It's always sad to see something go, especially something you've grown up with or spend tremendous amounts of time on. Nobody here questions how bad it must feel to have spent so long on a game and to be left empty handed, but that's the way of the world. I've spent thousands cash and thousands of hours on RuneScape myself and I know it will one day come to an end, like all things in life.

Again, I understand the urge to bring something important to you back. I've lost many things in life very dear to me that would have loved to reverse somehow, but it just doesn't work that way. I hope you're successful in convincing Jagex somehow, but remember not to go too far. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Jagex is a business, do you really expect to get something for nothing?

Because Funorb shared a lot of the same security risks as RSC due to the age of the hosting language, Java.

When a promise was made by someone else . Do you have to keep promises made by other people? Was it part of the sale agreement that IVP and subsequently the new owners had to uphold this promise? I doubt it.

Your idea of wrong, is not objective. Its completely subjective because you haven't gotten your way.
Jagex haven't done anything objectively wrong in closing down RSC.
