Okay, first of all, merry Christmas to Jagex and all the community. This holiday is the most magical of the year, even though I never get anything under my Christmas tree, it doesn't mean I'm not happy-I'm way happier than those who get tons of presents because people, not presents make me happy.
second of all, 2012 on runescape blew my mind away because jagex started rwting, not to mention armour update ruined runescape's beauty(I mean who needed that?)-UGLYSCAPE! finally EoC made me start thinking about leaving this game because same five friends who introduced me to play rs, they quit just after EoC. It's my last christmas on runescape-wham said.

First off, Merry Christmas everyone. With that said, I have to say this is the last Christmas I'll spend playing this game. 2012 was the most disappointing year in Runescape history, and 2013 just looks like they're still heading in the wrong direction. My friends list is practically empty now, and the skills are no longer worth it. Combat is almost unbearable. Bots? They've taken over. You guys have no real control over your game any longer, and I'll take my money elsewhere. Besides, it is Christmas, I'm sure I'll get plenty of games better than this one :D
Merry Christmas all! Have a wonderful new year too! (:

A very, very MERRY Christmas to you all at Jagex as well as the RuneScape community!

I loved the movie, but am disappointed I did not have the Thieving & Agility level to break into that party. It seems you gave out party hats! Haha ^_^ !

Merry Christmas,

Javascript client will be wonderfull on so many levels.

Curious about the mobile phone stuff.....minigames that tie into our main accounts? That could be quite nice.

I too would like too see less paid-for-upgrades, but I understand the need to increase the revenue. More content, more platforms, more detailed graphics and voicework all will increase the cost to make the game.
Maybe the idea of phone apps to supplemental income arnt that bad, as long as it still takes effort to earn in-game stuff.

I actualy really love the EoC (and I am a old member), but it does need work a bit. Harder enemy's, more combos or moves that work well together (both individually and between players). Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing the action bar used when skilling too. More tactics in everything please!

Overall RS really needs less mindless clicking and more actual skill, but at the same time allowing "passive" hands off play too. A tricky combination, but I think it could be done.

And yes, bots need to be dealt with. Maybe forcing a quest or other "only humans can do it" action to be completed every so much money or products exchanged?
This wouldnt remove bots completely, but would sure as hell make gold-farming harder!

...And this whole year and the better part of the last we were complaining, rioting, spamming, quitting, and even smearing Jagex over these micro-transactions. We thought it was all at the behest of their investors who were trying to run them into the ground and crawl out of the rubble with their pockets full of gold. At the worst of it, around August, the Rants forums were full of "Runescape has 5 years at most" type posts. But now we know where all that money really went.

Well, on behalf of the thousands of players who quit, rioted, spammed, and boycotted the Squeal, I apologize, Jagex. Honestly, Runescape almost had been driven into the ground with these micro-transactions by early November...and then came the November BTS. It's nice to know that the money isn't going where IVP may want it to go. Thank you, Jagex :')
