Here I honestly expected this topic to be chock-full of damned lies and statistics, and instead I got a fistful of honesty thrown into my face. And I really appreciate that.
However, I still feel that the free game (to which I've stuck to for almost NINE YEARS, no subscriptions or trials or anything) couldn't be in a greater state of abandonment than it is now, and I'm not just talking about all those subscription nags: Rampant botting, outdated and/or dead content, ill-conceived holiday events, game-breaking bugs that still need fixing (I'm looking at you, Cussbearer and Furnished bosses!). These and many more issues have made me repeatedly consider quitting and looking for something else to play. Hell, I even considered 2006scape at one point! But seeing that you actually seem to care about the game and not merely have sold out to IVP (as of yet), I can assure that my confidence has grown a great amount from having read this message.
My faith, however, is still overall low. Quoting a previous poster, "you always talk the talk but never walk the walk". Please do us a favor and prove us otherwise this year. Give your player base proof that you aren't merely asleep, ignoring feedback and feeding money to IVP as so many came to believe. Prove the haters wrong, and I and many others will be grateful for such action.
That's all I have to say.
