Sounds just like what I heard last year. And the year before, and the year before. Fact of the matter is, Runescape was able to run just fine with ads for free players and membership fees for the additional content.

Selling XP and items is wrong for the same reason RWT is wrong, which should really go without saying. Now, I've been playing since 2004, and yes, I got mad when the wildy was gone, and over trade restrictions, and was incredulous about the grand exchange, but I kept playing. But acting like EA won't win you any fans. Next you'll be removing content and charging for expansion packs that contain the pieces you removed... if you actually do that, I won't be surprised, but this post will serve as an "I told you so".

So thanks for the words, MMG, but to be fair, I've stuck with you guys through thick and thin, and this isn't like that. You're ruining this game in the worst way possible, by destroying each of the pieces that made it special;

The immersion. Graphics were awful in 2004, but I didn't care, it was immersive because of how serene it was. Now I have things jolting me out of my reverie every 5 minutes, with my FTP accounts it's pushy, in-game advertisements, with my member accounts it's over the top emotes and notifications of new content etc. etc. Leave me be, I'm here to play, not to be bombarded with cheap commercialism. That's what television is for.

The balance. This game was the only, and most perfectly, balanced game I ever played, all the way through 2010. A wonderful combination of combat, skilling, and questing was what made this game truly amazing. Now, that balance has been tipped in more ways than I can mention, cash stores, random XP giveaways, and over-dependency on your latest content. Don't force me into doing something just to keep up, Jagex, ~entice~ me to your new content.

The lack of politics. I shouldn't even have to make this post, if you were doing your job right, we'd be playing, not complaining.

So long, good luck.

Runescape only has 62k online right now, out of 200m+ claimed total accounts.

Players online does not provide a solid indicator of the total number of registered players.

If it did, it would be safe to assume from Runescape's ratio (1/3200 of their registered players are online) that ProjectRS could have a playerbase as large as 3.2 million players.

runescape should bring back like 2006 runescape it would be real fun because those were the years when runescape was the best and at it's prime. I hope this will happen 1 day :) when good memories were back then, when we loved the game we played and knew. So i really hope they make this update will make me very happy. Now that the eoc came i dont play it at all. The game has become to quiet and boring to me that now i just want to quit so i really hope pre eoc servers come back! or "old runescape"

Jagex is like a cat. It goes all the way up in the tree, and cant get down, then it falls down and gets hurt, but if the cat be careful and listens how to get down by *he humans (players) it will go a down without getting hurt

As long as there is eoc, i will not be playing... i miss runescape, and it's old combat...
i loved quests, skilling, bossing etc... then u changed the whole game to something that is not runescape, and now i can't stand watching the whole game..
If you bring back the old combat, i promise i will pay for member right away, and many many many people will restart runescape. ^_^

I have started my runescape adventure back in early 05 and i have to say i had the most fun in 2010 on bounty hunter worlds, if there is going to come a pre EOC server i would love to see a rs somewhere around this time. and i'll explain why:
A lot of people are saying they want a 2006 server while they would be disappointed if they saw what it was like in 2006, i know i would like to play any pre- EOC server but i think a 2010 one would be the best for everyone. All i did was PKing and now i can't anymore, but i miss runescape. 2006 is a long time ago and a lot of people don't know what they are talking about if they say 2006-scape! they just want to be part of the old community, and would be disappointed by a 2006 server so I say make a 2010 server and you will see A LOT OF people on the servers
please listen to this message, pre- EOC rs means a lot to me

Also i want to add to my previous post that in 2006 there were the most ppl but it's just to long ago, if there is a pre EOC server coming, please make it anywhere between 2008-2011.
if a server like 2006 will come out a lot of people will be disappointed by the graphics etc.

just give me, and hundred of thousands others back RuneScape 2
