Cinderlynn.

To your first comment, I must say that the Demon Slayer rework was neither here nor there for me. It was never a very deep quest to begin with.

To your second comment, I respond as such: yes, they have increased profits astronomically by doing this. But at the same time, they broke a promise. They said this would not affect the main game and it has, in a big way. This is not some paltry graphical update, or a little midget quest. This is a game-changing quest, classified as THE biggest story quest to date. I'm even more excited than usual because this time, I actually have the requirements to do it on launch. They have disappointed in a big way.

Waiting for TWW video. It had better be impressive to make up for the delay. I voted for the 07 servers, but I think TWW demands a little more respect than this.

I play for the lore. I voted for 07 servers to help reach 500,000 so there is no new membership cost. Quests are the reason I like this game and not a different one. I could post a big rant about how important TWW is and how much this video irritates me, but my fellow questers seem to have made that point. If Current RS and 07 RS are going to both be updated, post two separate BTS videos.

Pretty much agree with what Smith and Maritah said. I tend to be the person in my clan that, when someone starts going off on Jagex or complaining about an update, just asks "Why? What do you not like about the update?" A lot of the time, it just makes the person stop, maybe replying with a "well, it's just not the same." Sometimes I get a real answer, which is often something that I can see as being a real issue, though maybe not deserving of the harsh words it incites.

I'm not an EoC lover, or a hater. There are good things and bad. I don't love every update, but a lot of them are ones that I know, or at least hope, someone will appreciate even though I don't. I love new quests (and believe me, I generally feel like the minority in that regard) and many would probably classify me as a quester (though I think an 'all-arounder' is closer for me). I put out my suggestions on what could be improved, and try to mention when I really enjoy something.

The *act that the 2007 servers were going to be a thing was already, at the least, surprising to me. Only a handful of times has Jagex done something like that, the biggest one being the reinstatement of Free Trade and the Wilderness, and that was after years and years of people asking for it, and several months of prep after mentioning it. But now we're getting the 2007 severs rushed out at the expense of not only an update, but something that has been touted as THE most important quest ever, all because some people are getting what they want after pretty much saying that this company and this game are worthless.

Guess what? I'm not happy. Do I need to start bad-mouthing Jagex until they do something about it, too? This year is supposed to be about the players, so how about remembering to keep the players that actually like the game happy, too.

@Agentkeen - This year has, more or less, been about the quitters who once played rather than the loyal players. The ones that stick with RS through all the updates no matter what. There has been more banter about the opening of 2007 servers than there has been for all of the updates this year combined.

Kinda feels like we've been put on the backburner for the time being because of the extremely vocal group of people that wanted old servers back (without thinking it entirely through, mind you), no matter what Jagex has said.

JaGex, I heard a rumour that we're not getting our quest until after March because of this. Confirm or debunk this rumour, or else I AM going to use all of the powers of rhetoric bested in me to get as many people to quit as possible. And I can. I have moved crowds of players before, and I can do it again.

This is one of the stupidest moves i have ever seen you make. Why would you delay something you PROMISED this month for some 07 server that not many people are going to play with a cost. This should have been the world wakes. Many people are very ******, For once, FIX IT!

I wonder what the rush was? Was it a "Mission Impossible" type of thing where the copy of the 2007 servers "... will self destruct, mister MMG" ? Really, really weird...but, anymore, just seems to be the status quo for our 'harried' game provider.

Looking forward to TWW...wouldn't be at all surprised if it also is a let down.

Any chance of your rear being in gear, soon, mister MMG?
