@Unique Lol, it doesn't matter if less than a hundred thousand people play at once, different people play at different times meaning one set of 50 thousand people can be playing at one time and 50 thousand people can be playing at another. The number of people online at the time has nothing to do with the total number of people who still play. The game also is not dying, just some players don't agree with some of the updates made, nothing new.

@ravaged sins Thats obvious did you ever see the counter before eoc? a solid 130k. Theres almost half your player base gone. And more than "some" players dissagree, as i said read through and tally the fors and againsts theres your majouritys thoughts (in favour by far against). You have to agree, the eoc has completely changed the game to a point where its hardly even recognisable to the experienced player, its community breaking that kind of update.

You know you guys are doing a great job from what I can tell. I just came back after a 4 year vacation so I'm just trying to settle back into runescape. Wth happened to the RSB? Me and several others devoted so much time into ranking clans based on performance, size, and leadership and now all that work was in vain. We are however trying to bring the RSB back without jagex help and I dont mean to advertise on this thread but check out Union of Descent and give us some support. We all have more than five years experience in leading clans/unions and running newspapers. I also have to say I'm a tad disappointed with the wilderness. This is changing the whole game pretty much. There are those of us that like holding clan wars in the wilderness. Some of the oldest unions/clans have waged war there many times now you can do it at the citadel? Also over half of runescape now doesnt even know what the RSB is or how to use them. Perhaps coming up with a purpose for them because as of right now there a waste of your time. I can read improvements on home page and to think you all actually consider what we are saying is unreal and almost impossible. You dont have time in your busy days to read each forum post. As far as the EoC it takes some getting used to and has drove the price of potions down a tad as well as food but thats another story. I think I can live with the EoC update. But the bots are killing the economy and I'm sure they are always a step ahead of Jagex. So why not bring the annoying randoms back? I actually thought they were kinda fun sometimes and atleast thats one bot that is delayed for wrecking the market. Ohh and for those that dont know RSB is RuneScape Boards. Please help us bring the ranks back into clans.

I've been playing RS on and off since 2004. In my experience most long time RS players play 3 month get bored take a break for 3 months and come back to see whats new and play for 3 months more. Since EOC, I have no desire to return to playing RS again. What was wrong with the old combat system? Because you changed everything I have no idea what are good armor/wepons and easily lose to people in duel arena even though I have 99 range.

Private servers are where it's at. Jagex you have 70k people playing right now, how many of them are bots? A popular 2006 server has 10k people playing right now, up 8k from 2 weeks ago. PLEASE open classic RS2 servers from 2006-2010.

Hi MMG.

This is really my first post on a public forum for the first time in my five and a half years of Runescape. Despite never having a 99, I've gained 63 Million xp, a Quest point cape achieved by never using a guide, ever. Not to mention balanced levels on all my skills.

Its really disappointing seeing all these people complaining, even after this sincere apology how Jagex has looked into these problems and explained the reasons behind these somewhat controversial, but vital up dates for Runescape's future. I know many players who support these updates, and despite being in this game for a long time, I've supported just about all of them.

Sometimes people forget that Jagex employees are Runescape players too, and they do what feels right to the game, and more recently, they have been taking greater feedback then most gaming studios do from there players. I personally along with my friends cant wait to see the new updates every month, checking the homepage at the start of every month to see what beneficial changes will be made to the game that month. Runescape seems to be constantly evolving, not for the worst, but for the better. Its really annoying how players cannot see this. :l

Cant wait to see what they have in store in 6 more days, hopefully this new Grandmaster quest! c:

@Unique Lol, the change in number is just the players who don't like the game anymore, they did the sensible thing and quit instead of spamming the forums for changes that not everyone wants. It's different yes, less people are playing yes but that's not a bad thing in my opinion, as long as the people who are playing are enjoying themselves, and I for one am.

Of course I also agree pking suffered a lot from the EOC but other things such as PVM and skilling gained. Don't be selfish in saying that it should change just because "Half the player base" quit. The other half who is playing obviously is fine with it or they would of quit by now. I for one like it and enjoy the PVM and Skilling side of the EOC. If you don't like it, don't play. It's the same with Solomans, don't like it, don't buy it.

RS2plz

Yes, your approuch isnt going to help anything other than get ones than are actually suggestions overlooked. I agree they move a tad slow but look at what they are responsible for fixing in the short time you have given them to fix. There are several mini games that need nerfed or just completely erased. And top of them working on all the updates jus* to get back on track you expect them to come up with new ideas as well. Just relax I'm sure there going as fast as they can. Put yourself in thier shoes lol you could afford something better than a big mac.
