Mr. Gerhard:

One big kudo: Admitting EoC was released too early took courage. I honestly didn't even expect that much. I'm not sure what you have planned, but I hope EoC fixes are absolutely top priority so that combat works seamlessly and makes some amount of sense again. Right now there are far too many issues with equipment versus skill contributions to damage output, with monster balance, with relative utility of skill abilities between the different combat classes, with utility of food, prayers, potions and so on. So even after two months of 'live' EoC there is still much to be done.

Secondly: The fact that you list a skip-the-skill activity with little relevance to the rest of the game (Runespan) among your 'satisfying' 2012 updates demonstrates that you still do not have your finger on the pulse of what your community liked about non-combat skills. In 2013 and moving forward, many, many, many of us who consider ourselves "skillers" or "all-rounders" would like to see skill improvements that **retain utility and integration with the remainder of the game**. Like we used to see.

Thirdly: You have no right nor reason to be speaking on behalf of free players in thanking us members. This demonstrates your inability to understand the history of the game, in which the free game is the only reason there was such an active community in the first place to warrant a larger, and ultimately successful, economic enterprise. If anything you should be thanking your free players as well, especially as they've suffered most from your decision to focus on ways to make money over cheating issues that basically suffocated f2p. You no longer have the right to bill yourself as the most popular free MMO, and it is by no means your f2p players' fault.

Finally: Bringing in more money to pay a bigger team does not necessarily make a better game. I think recent events are more than enough proof of that. Prove me wrong in 2013.

I do really love Eoc. But there are some things that could be changed to make it better:

1. Bring Xp back in PvP. Not aware of the reason why you removed that, but it was pretty nice gaining Xp while killing other players. Yes, really. :)

2. Update Dungeoneering animations. Mages, Rangers and Meleers (humans) still have the same attack animations like pre-Eoc. Since we humans have new animations, update theirs as well.

Thanks. ~Petros, the Doctor

My two cents

(1) Jagex in recent years forgot about the SOLO player. Not everyone plays in teams and when you introduce content that requires teaming to do or kill something then the game is eroded.
(2) If you are removing bots... post some statistics on it at least weekly. Players like to see this and it gives us confidence that you are actually doing something about the problem.

I would like to see Special attacks returned to our weapons, The God swords for example.
and I would like to have One World like Pre-Return of the wildy. Just Revs no pkrs.
I don't think that is too much to ask.
When Jagex took away the wild in the first place, they gave pkrs and bounty hunters somewhere to play.
I feel the non pking community deserves the same consideration. Please, just give us one World where we can prepare to fight Revs without the danger of losing it all to some pkr. We don't want them lock up underground with pkrs. We want them running free in the wildy. We want the grave stones back. We want to bless the graves of our friends in the wild. please. Would it really hurt to give us just one Good World ? Let it be a test if you want. See what your Runescape Family Really prefers. If you are listening, Then please Listen. See just how full that world would be. It might even bring back some of the people you lost due to EOC. Many of my friends have left.

I almost forgot, this whole Premium membership thing needs to stop. I don't have members partly because I saw the premium membership packages that give things some month to month members or even loyal members won't get.

If you are sincere with your apology, push those items like green skin and other cosmetics over the past year to all members regardless of the packages. 2012 had a lot of luls you should fix that and also the EoC problems and 50% lag errors.

@ SoulWarsNoob: Uh...they already DID make smithing and mining more fun. It's called the Artisan's Workshop and Living Rock Cavern. God statues once a month give prayer and slayer XP too. Herblore also has its own minigame. Skills aren't supposed to be EASY, and as it is, they already made smithing, mining, fishing, and runecrafting way faster than it used to be. I am opposed to minigames to make slayer faster, though I wouldn't mind if enemies gave better XP.

And they already revealed a few months ago that a big construction rework is coming this year.

wouldnt trade limit stop goldfarmers?

Also, there needs to be something done for the pkers. i mean tons of people i *now knew runescape as a game to skill and meet knew people but also as a game with pvp and clanning. i feel like these attributes gave runescape a different feel than the rest of the other games out there.
