''back in 2006-2007 you guys had 800k+ players''

A server can hold 2000 players max. 800.000 / 2000 = 400 servers.

So we had 400 servers that were maxed at 2000? Don't think so.

''With EoC, no one plays anymore''

*cough 80k players online cough*


And stop using ''we'' it's ''YOU''.

i really wish eoc was taken out of the game, i hated it and its ruining the game i've been playing for almost 10 years. overall the game has improved alot and i love it, but eoc is ruining it, i mean, runescape is runescape... dont try to change it by making it look like other other games.... the old combat system was one of the great things that made this game special, and original.

^^^^Change DNS=Changed IP..you don't have to use the DNS provided by your service provider, there's loads of publicly available ones - as such all 4 numbers can change, each having up to 3 digits..the only thing that doesn't normally change is the MAC..but on many routers that can be changed as well (clone MAC address options and the like) and computer MACs are set by the network card..some computers have 2 network cards (1 for LAN, 1 for WAN, rather than just 1 for both) installed, not to mention that most people have more than 1 computer to begin with these days.

I've even had JAG forget that my computer is set up to be allowed ~5 times now, so clearly Jagex are unable to reliably keep proper track of IPs/MACs/etc - I've only ever set up the one laptop to work for the game, but I have 2 MACs due to LAN/WAN (though router MAC hasn't been changed in a long time), as well sometimes using a dynamic DNS, which in turn results in a dynamic IP, due to DNS issues with the ISP at times.

On the other hand, they have full control over accounts - banning/deleting an account works well, and IPs/MACs/specific in-game patterns to connect mule accounts/etc can be used to ban related accounts as well much of the time..sure people can just make new ones, but aside from people that only have accounts for RWT, etc rather than to actually play, it's a pretty powerful deterrent once Jagex can reliably detect bot accounts and the like.

One big step towards limiting RWT would be to make it impossible for a bot to make a new account - if new accounts had to be made manually, bottlenecking the influx of new bots, and the existing RWT bots were dealt with in a timely fashion as well, then they'd be able to greatly reduce the amount of bots in game. It's not as simple as it sounds though, many bots are likely quite complex and some may even attempt to imitate players as well as possible..but once logic is made for BotWatch to reliably detect them without banning legit players**** botters.

@Goat Fever's post on page 219.

Basically, you want everything for free ? You want ALL the benefits of P2P for Free. Stop being poor, and pay for the extra features.

@D Mihawk,

He isn't far wrong. The amount of players does seem to have decreased over the years. While I never remember being 800k players on at the same time, I do recall saturdays and sundays having way over 400k.

EoC is in its early days still in its very new and raw content, jagex have said in the q&a vids they intent to release more abilities in the future and do things like giving weapons levels like your skill stats.

I agree that the old rs combat system was fun but from reading many posts im getting the impression that players want it back so that they can just afk combat, I don't want this at all im for fresh challenging content, the old combat system can't give that now anyway.

i think EoC isn't bad. But can you add more stuff like
-lower combat levels
-add more ranging and magic items into SoF
-make more items that you can get by drops
-add more bosses(though i expect you plan on this)
-make more ways for members to train combat, for example something like ranging guild for magics and maybe melees too
-work more on lowering bots
-add more questing for experience
-also don't forget about the nonmembers, i agree they have lost many training methods to EoC. Possibly add some kinda dragons for them that drop like level 30 def dragonhide for armour :D
-change wild, dont get rid of it but make it better possibly
-add more minigames for experience, possibly make them kinda like soul wars or pest control
-bring back special attacks please!
-add more skills :)
