You say you want to listen to player feedback more and improve your communication but what use is it when it makes no difference that so many players object microtransactions and other aspects *hat have been criticized a lot.
For you better communication does not mean to consider our opinion and concerns but thinking about how to diffuse criticism and do what you wanted to do anyway to squeeze uot the last penny players are willing to pay.

You want to make 2013 OUR YEAR but I heared that before but what happened was a sell-out of epic proportions, old promises broken and player protest ignored or - even worse - belittled and ridiculed by preposterous justifications.

I am well aware that after every update there will be people saying "wow amazing" before even playing any of the content and such that say "OMG you ruined the game" but in the last 2 years but especially 2012 Runescape took several big turns for the worse and you still try to sell them as great improvements that are supported by the vast majority of players.

Nice post, looking forward to this years skills coming out mainly :D

For soloman and sqweel i admit it is a touchy subject for a lot of us, although all extra revenue is very good in terms of liquidity, you should possible make some sort of minigame or something to give soloman coins, albiet make it very hard to get coins. This way the people who want to pay for things, can. People who are up for the challenge can attempt to get coins. There is a certain stigmatism about all these cosmetics.

When you had treasure trail items back in the day of RS 2006 or so, people said nice cav or nice full sara etc. Many of these cosmetic items look a lot nicer than a lot of the oldschool so called 'treasure' trails in the game. If you had created a whole bunch of mosters that dropped a load of these cosmetics, or added some to trails, or to loyalty rewards (cough and backdated loyalty rewards) then i think it would have created a lot more of a buzz last year. I admit the graphics team have been upping there game a lot, its a pity it is not player grafting content tho for a lot of it.

One particular update from last year was the toggling of 99 skills with daily challenges, allowing you to switch off certail skills.

I think this could be done with other features in the game. XP Lamps, Quest rewards etc. It would take a little work for quests, but i would imagine the code being something like this, if your quest reward has xp for something you have 99, then give a general xp lamp or reward in place of the quest reward.

XP lamps would be much more appreciated if you could swap a skill lamp in a skill in whch you have 99, for a general xp lamp. Maybe with new NCP in game.

:D PS looking forward to the new skills, just don't take them out until i at least get beyond 115 dung :D

Sugar coat it any way you like Since "YOUR" EOC was released I have not seen the "players on line" go above 100k, i have seen it as low as 60k. before EOC the lowest i saw was 160k ,and was over 200k most of the time.
NUMBERS DON'T LIE, But You Do. Evidently even to yourselves.

I always said if EOC was removed i would renew my membership (along with 5 other members of my family), but while waiting for Jagex to come to their senses i have found a new game i am enjoying playing. Probably I will not return to a company that does not give a damn about their players, who pays their wages, and their empty promises and lies, they have not once in the many years Ive been playing listened to the majority of us, they wear blinkers and can only see what they want which is their ruin as proved by their financial troubles.
