I'd really like this to get looked into by Jagex, as I believe it would be a grand and much appreciated addition to Runescape...

Here is the HLF version...

HLF Title: Summon Legend of Lunar - V 3.0
Quick find code: 260-261-525-63832137

Thanks for your time; and I do hope for recognition in the long run. I attend college for Media Arts & Game Design. I've placed a good amount of development into this Quest + Mini-Activity + Mini-Boss all in one. There are many useful activity rewards. It takes a lot of various skills including Summon and Dng. Another Dng quest is highly needed; along with a significant update for Summoning. Hope you enjoy it as much as everyone who's posted on my thread has.

@Chozo sammus

I respect you opinion. But where do you think you can begin to talk to me like that? Nobody cares about my childhood? Obviously. I'm just saying what my view of runescape is. And as far as I'm concerned, you have no authority to "prove" me wrong. And by the change of the EoC, What do you mean more people wanted it? The only way we would know is to have a poll. So before you start throwing these well researched "facts" at me, get some true evidence first, ok? This wasn't for you to respond to. It was for A STAFF rank to respond to.

Mod MMG as well as the rest of the Jagex Staff,

I've personally been playing this game off and on since 2004 and have been a member since I began playing. I've seen just about every major update that you have put out thus far and have seen the ups and downs that this game has went through. I've truly enjoyed the Evolution of Combat thus far. Coming from someone who used to be very competitive in several other MMOs, it was a breath of fresh air into the game. But their is still a few things you should consider from myself and the very few of my real life friends that still play. May I offer some tips enhance players overall enjoyment?

-Economy-
As someone who has been a merchant for nearly about 6 or so years now though, I have seen the effects that certain updates have had on this games economy. One of the better updates you gave this game was when we moved out of a free trade market and into a trade limit. Back in 2009, the game was free of gambling, gold spammers, gold sellers, and luring. The player base was friendly, helpful, and almost free of children arguing and scamming each other for pixels.

By reverting back to a trade limit, you could divert a good portion of our man power towards anti-bot measures into actual updates like new quest chains, new instanced bosses (awesome job on KK by the way, Instancing is shown to actually be a great way to boss in previous MMOs as well), and much more. The only downside to this is that I let some of my real life friends borrow high level gear. That's not entirely terrible though, since 40m practically buys a full set of all gwd armor now and i can afford to let a few have them.

-PVP-
I have never been an avid wilderness pker, but have always loved actual safe pvp minigames like castle wars, duel arena, and soul wars. Several of my friends who do pk say that "Pking is Dead." Maybe its time that Runescape's pvp took a different direction.

Continued in next post...

Pvp as a whole call now to move away from the kill, loot, repeat play style that many enjoy. A good way to get the community together is to encourage more team oriented games. You could for instance use the instance portal to your advantage, and create instanced arenas that players can use while implementing leader boards for 5v5, 3v3, and 2v2 games. You could also implement battle ground like mini games alot like how castle wars but with other interesting objectives. Something like this could also implement an ulterior way for players to gear up for bossing. By winning or competing in games like this you could start some sort of point system used to buy gear ideal for their level.

-Language-
I remember back in the day when a sentence could be taken out of context and you could get temporarily muted for it. I'm not saying that precautions need to be taken to that extreme, and i understand that his game is aimed at those of 13 and up. But something you do need to realize is that kids do INDEED play this game. I told a begger the other day that he needed to work for this gold just like i had in the game in which he replied, "I hope you mother dies you ****ing C**t A** piece of S**t Kill yourself." I'm an adult so I simply just ignored him and reported him, but people are saying these things to people with no reprecussions at all. It needs looked into.

-Bossing-
Bossing thus far has been kinda lackluster until recently. With the addition of instanced encounters for bossing it made it so clans are now able to enjoy time together hunting withing worrying about being crashed 30 seconds later. Good show on this part. I have been very happy with it. But remember that not everyone who plays runescape is maxed with 99's in all skills. Bosses if possible should be created to benefit those who are at the 40-70 armor level as well for lower level players to enjoy.

-Thus far-
Thanks for the updates and considering some of the things I've said. Have a good day

I don't know if any of you guys have noticed that ever since Eoc came out, Runescape has been dying, this is a great game an i really wish that the game doesn't die. I've had many fun and memorable memories that i will cherish, hope to make many people.

This is probably the best post i have seen from you guys in a while.

I love everything you are doing. i have my slight complaints, but with thousands of different things, they are nothing.

I feel that the community(who has been complaining saying you guys dont respond ever) should read this and be very thankful.

I can not wait to see the full power of botany bay, and the less importance of sof.

This announcement has addressed most of the concerns of my friends and myself over the last year or so. Unfortunately, Jagex waited so long to do this that many people, and a lot of my friends, quit because they could only take so much disappointment with so little response.

I hope the Jagex team stays true to this announcement and improves on the many problems that 2012 brought. Sure, it's nice to focus on the very few releases that pleased everyone, but the glaring problems that forced such a huge reduction in the RS population ought to be the focus.

Again, kudos for owning up to your shortcomings, but hopefully it isn't too late to redeem the quitting community base.

mod mmg please take the time to read this. i love this game and have played it for a long time and love the content you guys put out. now as you know many players have quit do to the eoc and its a sad thing but its the truth me and a few of my friends on runescape and most of them are player moderaters. moving on we have came up with a plan that would make you happy and may i add richer in fact. if you were to add a 2010-2011 server for your older players who have gotten used to that kind of runescape it would bring back a ton of players and make everyone happy i respect the fact that you guys worked so hard on the eoc and i understand that but you will gain new players from it and you can still have the people who have been around for a while come back to the game becuase of our idea please acknowledge this post and take time to hear me out, thank you :)
