@ Justplayinto

Quite right, MMG is the puppet, and IVP is the ventriloquist. Not much better than Zynga and their sorry excuse for "games." Jagex are worse by doing this to a well established game.

You have to be kidding me.

Until merchants, flippers, and opportunists are back to the top of the exploitation pyramid, in contrast to trust traders, lurers, middlemanners, and other such. There is too much emphasis on cheating others out of their work, instead of earning it through clever exploitation of opportunities. Runescape has become a black market economy in a vague sense, and I for one do not appreciate it.

For over 10 years now you refuse to implement a simple "no trust trade" rule. My best friend is in university and is still botting. In fact he is telling me that jagex will not ban you if you are a member. Yet this has not been explicitly said in rules.

Further, I feel that I can get banned any time as soon as jagex doesn't like me, and might look at reports (since clearly many people believe they are not even read, aside from meeting for laughs), and find something to use to silence me for some period of time, or even make me lose over 200 days of gameplay on this character!

What started with a free game where I could enjoy with friends and played not because it was popular, but because I wanted to play it. In fact, it was considered shameful to play runescape where I live, many people feel the same way!
Now I feel that the game is being milked, many veterans have quit, while for legitimate reasons like university and jobs, in part they will not return because it brings back sad memories of what "used to be their game", but become a cesspool blackmarket simulator. The days of spamming "selling full rune 200k" and buying full rune piece by piece just to make 10k, or 30k profit are long forgotten to the 2006 prods, yet they are the core of runescape now, the older veterans are forgotten.

This is sad, very sad.

@Panda Lust
It's a competing market. The mmorpg world is growing fast, look at new and upcoming games.
Lots of games have fallen before.
I am neither new, nor do I prefer it. It'll grow upon me.

Your statement made no logic, with no valid points or back up.

&I QUOTE.
"""""""
EITHER WAY OLD RS = UNIQUE FOR A REASON
EOC= KILLER OF A UNIQUE GAME
OLD RUNESCAPE = WHERE WE WANNA BE
EOC = DEATH OF RUNESCAPE
OKAY?
""""""""

You = Idiot.
Get valid points and a back up and don't assume you know me and maybe then I'll respect your opinion.

Which is what it is. OPINION.

if you want to make it our year get rid of the EoC so i can play this game again i didnt play for 7yrs just to have you guys **** it up and make it so unbarible..... if you guys wanted to try new stuff you could have started with all the existing content (11yrs worth) of stuff stacked on eachother. start with making all the content smooth and flow together

EOC was my biggest downfall in Runescape as a whole along with the bots on the game. I started this game as a free player in 2004 and in 2005 I became members loving the game.

I have quit just recently, I gave the EOC over a month and half of trying it and am highly disappointed in the game. Does Jagex have any plans on bringing back a pre-eoc server anytime soon(like you all kept Classic up when Runescape 2 was released), so that warring/pking clans don't die out completely?

The system of switching from multi to single and vise versa really destroyed the multi pkers in this aspect as well the eoc impacted this as well seeing that 3-4 players can take out a whole warring team if done right in the wilderness. I keep up on reading updates in hope that something like this comes out in future, but altogether it rips me apart to even log into the game just to talk to friends.

I feel strongly about this and that alot of the oldschool community feel the same, kinda like we were ripped off due to this update. :(

It is sad that everybody is angry at EOC without any arguments for their hatred.

Suppose EOC was removed, which wouldn't be particularly difficult, just buff momentum and remove skills, the hard part would be changing bats from shooting lazers... which is indeed strange.

If the above did happen, the real issue, being the feeling "so much to do, nothing worth doing" would still be there.

EOC is simply a red herring, with it, very few can explain what people are truly angry at.

@ericrst2004 I'm with you on that, gaming is a hobby, and like any hobby, you commit your time, money and some of your life to it. My 6 years of playing Runescape has been for nothing. It atleast wouldn't have been as bad if RS died when the Gower brothers left and now IVP drag Runescape's name through the mud**** is a shambles and IVP are evil.
