Game doesn't really need to recover, it needs restoring you probs ment that though anyway.

I don't wanna see mark step down, and he wont as far as jagex are concerned they're moving forward. I would just really like to see some acknowledgement on behalf of Jagex. i mean surely they know they've ruined the old community and they must know what the game community was beats what it is now?

it's a discrace that the eoc update didn't label it rs3, or in my opinion a different game alltogether. it's an insult to what the game was.

Yeah, if EOC was started as an alternative strand separate from the Real Runescape... Then I wouldn't have quit, nor the other 180k players.

... Just coming check if they've removed EOC yet... lol *looks over at Jagex* WoW wanna be newbs... Don't forget RS's peak was near/during WoW's prime as well... it doesn't have to change to be like other MMORPGs to get back that clientele... Runescape was thriving for being something else, and quite enjoyable.

We loved the old Runescape, and stayed for years as vets... Remove EOC please.

Hopefully we will get some feedback soon.

The game can't "recover" at this point. It's simply too late. RuneScape.. is dead.. RS3 is the game you see before you today. Is it a "bad" game? I don't honestly know yet.

I think MMG should most certainly step down. It is but a small ray of hope that the company which owns this game, has a chance at a prosperous future.

The community they have now.. they spent YEARS working to obtain. Little by little, they insisted upon.. what they actually got. Over the years, they ensured the old timers would go.. to make room for the new breed.. they didn't just ask for this new community.. they insisted upon it.

This isn't the same game.. and it never can be again (with or without MMG). It's time to mourn the loss of one of, if not THE, best games of the MMO age.

But make no mistake.. the loss is forever. The damage done to the RuneScape we all knew and loved.. is done. It can't be undone.. and that, has nothing to do with eoc.

They have, repeatedly, over the years.. implemented major changes quite poorly. Each step of the way they had the opportunity to do it right, and chose not to. I don't see that changing.

While the player base is most concerned for the game they've lost (being adamantly opposed to even trying this new game), the company is in need of being more concerned over keeping the company going.. without it.. there will be no type of RS at all.

Can they survive this?

That depends on how they go about it.. my guess is no, they can't. Not because it isn't possible.. but because they refuse to see "how" to go about it properly.

Seriously though, you guys need to mourn the loss.. and then see if you have interest in playing this new game that this "new" jagex had made. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Panda Lust - What the hell are you talking about?

This game is in serious need of attention. Bots and gold farmers are running rampant. Somebody has to monitor this stuff, otherwise the game is going to suffer.

I know very well Mark Gerhard isn't a trustworthy CEO. A reliable CEO whom you can trust often makes the difference between a good company and a bad company. After feeding us lies and saying we're the "vocal minority" on the forums, do you really think I'm going to sit here and believe his bullcrap?

If anything, Jagex is going backwards, not forward. Change is only good if it's positive.

For the record, Runescape went on a tumbling slide long before any mention of Evolution of Combat. Remember the trade limit updates? People really started to throw their anger on Jagex.

Since that point, Runescape has never fully recovered. The game definitely needs to recover, don't try to tell me it's not necessary.

Jagex sold out, plain and simple. Runescape isn't a different game just because of Evolution of Combat. There are a lot of problems that factor into the equation here. Every single one of those has made Runescape into a worse position from what it already was.

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time playing this game and I made sure I enjoyed the experience of playing from what I had. Any acknowledgement from Jagex isn't going to impress me until they start making ACTIONS to get this game back on it's feet. Right now Mark Gerhard's crap statement is just a load of hot air. I don't think he cares. I really don't.

In conclusion, the chances of Runescape going back to it's former glory are pretty much gone. Just goes to show you how frustrated this community is. I spent over two years trying to get some answer from Jagex and I got nothing to show for all those posts I made.

Tyria Mine - I wish I can say I agree with you, but it looks to me you've sided with the Evolution of Combat supporters for whatever reason.

So you're saying "to mourn the loss"? I've already mourned the loss. I'm just here to see how much more bullcrap Jagex can fling at us before Runescape is truly pronounced dead.

The way the economy has been going, I see no prosperous future from a private equity firm.

There ain't a lot more I can say here.

DOOOOOOM SAYERSSSSS

* Change is a natural progresion = L2Cope
* Gaming environments do not house your real life
* What specifically do you not like about the changes that were made?

Chill out on the melodramatics. It's just a game and your added negative content really isn't liked. It's already been said. Go support someone else's, or start your own, thread about not liking EOC. I really preferred the forums b4u complained all over it with your doomsaying.

Any constructive use of the forum specifying where a player is unhappy with the current gameplay is being actively worked on. "I don't like the graphic change to the Dragon Full Helm" is a good example.

Focus the effort on being heard not putting down others in order to make yourself feel better and you will experience better results. Application & Patience!

Please stand by or users will be sent to the games.

"Tyria Mine - I wish I can say I agree with you, but it looks to me you've sided with the Evolution of Combat supporters for whatever reason. "

-

Caj, just for clarification... I haven't "sided" with either side.

I see flaws in eoc.. many things that could be "fixed".. many obstacles that peeps have been pointing out.. I do honestly see and understand all those things.. but..

I don't see those who have this "it's the end of the world" attitude because of it. I've tried it.. played with the abilities (lots of other games have them).. watched the animations that accompany some of the abilities.. it really isn't a "button mashing" thing.. Caj, you remember that I'm no keyboard warrior?

All I'm sayin' is that the RS that we all knew and loved.. is gone. It's been slowing bleeding out for years.. and yes, I believe it's incredibly sad that such a massive accomplishment as what Andrew Gower created, is gone.. but.. that is the way of the world.

The RS that "was", is obsolete to current MMO standards (yeah, ask me and I'll tell you none of them have ANY standards now) and the eoc by itself is NOT the cause.

I've been away more than 2 years (you might recall that).. but I paid for a year (for myself and 2 of my kids) because it's a different game and I've accepted that "my" RuneScape is dead and buried.

Is this company the "best" one out there? HELL NO!
Are they the worst? Sometimes.

However, I accept the fact that this isn't the jagex that created "my" RS.. and this, isn't RuneScape.

edit for spacing because jagex "still" hates me and that forum logged hits me way too often lately! "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.
