Jagex, let's face it. Hundreds of thousands of players have stopped playing Runescape. This may be because of the SoF and because of the EoC as you may already know. I'm sure more people would actually start playing again if you kept the bots to a minimum (which from what I can understand you're trying to do.) and brought back the old Runescape.

Gerhard, you said you and the rest of Jagex want to listen more to the community. Well, now is your time to start! I'm sure players wouldn't mind paying DOUBLE for membership if that's what it takes to get the old runescape back AND help upkeep the game.

I know this message won't be read by many people, and I know thousands of others have said what I said and thought what I thought, but think about what you've done, Jagex. If something goes wrong, the best time to fix it is immediately. You've already admitted that some things that you've done are bad. We understand you make mistakes because we're all human ;) , but you need to fix what so many people dislike. Nobody wants to play a game that doesn't have good content.

The only people that are still playing Runescape are people that are trying to make a buck, and people that haven't lost hope yet/played for 5+ years. Runescape is dying slowly, and now is your time to fix it. Do you Jagex employees still have that spark you did 3-12 years ago when you were playing/developing Runescape? Again, I wouldn't mind paying double for membership if things could change and I'm sure thousands of others feel the same way. Twice the membership fee would compensate for a loss of players at first and slowly Runescape would grow again. When was the last time you thought about having a booming Runescape community like it was 5+ years ago? It's about going that extra step, Jagex, and some of us haven't lost hope yet. Although I haven't stated the great things you've done to game, there are lots. I've used all 2k characters so I'm done. I hope this message is read by at least someone out th

I couldn't be more happy with ALL the changes made thus far. I play with my grandson side by side and even he at 7 years of age has learned the EoC. The training areas for all things new show in his understanding of game play.

We are looking forward to many more updates this year.

Keep up the steller effort that keeps us playing!

Cheers

how about a no?

we voted for free trade/wildy already, its not free trades fault jagex cant solve the bot problem. when they removed free trade/wildy the game started losing members and has been ever since

gambling isnt even a problem imo, ppl who complain about it are the ones who got scammed. anyone with half a brain wouldnt gamble unless they were hosting.

and people claiming that gambling is a huge problem are the ones who cant give good reasons... its always - gamblers spam chat/other bs

You guys ever heard of CEO damage control? This is one of those. You realize your company screwed up, offer an apologetic letter because you know you're in deep and a huge chunk of your profit just vanished in less than two months.

Over all, thank you for learning from your past mistakes; even though the community was very vocal on how this would affect the game and most were right.

Either way, the damage is done The Elder Scrolls announced beta and I'll be cancelling my membership and I'm sure a few thousands more will too once TESO is released. Best of luck to Jagex; as this seems dark times for small development companies and even big companies. Don't want to end up like THQ and Atari. At a court room selling assets and sending letters to your development team wishing them luck on their future careers because no one wanted to invest on a failed MMO. May be PWE might be interested.

Andrew C. Gower thanked the community on a daily basis when Runescape was just a baby and was rarely into secrecy; not until your investors came in did all this secrecy start.

Lol, I doubt you can salvage a good game from this horrible spin off of World of Warcraft.


Mod MMG you have driven Runescape down a slippery slope ever since you joined JaGeX. I would love for you to quit. I hate what you've done to my favourite game.

hello, while text was long i've read it carefully,in general telling that game improved is true "Reflecting on the game updates of 2012, we’re pretty happy: Daily Challenges, the Runespan, Bonfires, Social Slayer and the Big Chinchompa..." BUT
Runescape is at cliff and if it falls it would decay totally the biggest reason why is Bots and botting.
I guess (if it possible) make someking of command to call MOD like "/macroing" or anything and then Jagex ppl would come and check it.

Another point is EoC..honestly i like those abilitys but i know many friends who dont like it. solution is simple- open few servers with old game style,few would be to less cuz they would be full :D anyways i apologize for my english and that all :) ty

Hey, thanks for the message for all of us about rs.
Make new quests! BETTER AND MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANY YOU HAVE!
The game is too easy Jagex, there is no fun left inside. Yes Nex and Kalphite king are a challenge but still once you master them in 3 days it just becomes boring, we need to get more quests that involve a boss that changes every time, or something, I know you probably wont bring out another boss because of Kalphite king, but something where someone cant make a guide on a boss, where that boss leaves you worried to enter every time. That changes its tactics, i know this would be a lot of work because you need to code it all but still, it could make a big difference where people just cant get used a certain boss like they do to nex or kalphite king. I say bring on 2013! and make it a good one, im bored with no grandmaster quests to do even though you guys make em so easy!

After reading this, I feel that my anger has been a bit mitigated. I'm glad that you guys will finally listen, or you claim you will at least.

Old RS has a dear spot in many veteran players' hearts and always will. We tend to get infuriated when a piece of old RS such as original content gets nerfed or taken away, which is even worst. Those who remained loyal and stuck around through thick and thin witnessed these changes that were heavily hyped and supposed improve the game wind up as being busts and doing the complete opposite. Although they've been reinstated as of 2011, the removals of free trade and Wild will forever be known as the start of an RS decline, which triggered several downgrades including the late Prayer and pursuing ability nerfs.

The only thing that truly needed balancing was the combat triangle but not at the cost of Prayer. The CB triangle became imbalanced when there was a barrage of melee weapons being released with insufficient ranged and magical weapons to compensate the overpowering melee. That trend has repeated itself when the KK and Drygore melee weapons were recently released without any magical and ranged counterparts or buffs made to the two non-melee disciplines. Prayer, on the other hand, had nothing to do with the imbalance at all, so it should've remained 100% like it did for nearly 12 years prior to EOC instead of the abysmal 50% damage reduction. All in all, we have overpowered monsters, underpowered Prayer, and the return of the one-sided CB triangle now.
