So what happened to the much needed construction skill update?


The minigames SHOULD have been 'fixed' way back in January. Did you just forget about them?

-The Construction update is one of their main priorities, but lack of funding makes it a problem they can't solve yet.



As for 2013, at first I thought nothing was going to happen, until March (and the World Wakes) came. This was a very big year, and I have huge expectations for next year

2013 was seriously a terrible year.. Everyone has an opinion and mine is going to be a truly negative one freedom of speech eh..? Well this was the year I actually quit runescape.. I really never minded change but when you change something so much that in the end of the day you can't recognize it..? No thank you.. Graphical updates some were good some were bad I didn't mind.. removing pvp and free trade in the past didn't mind... Bounty hunter didn't mind.. Economy destroyed making my ags crash from 120 M to 30M who cares? But seriously EoC changed everything the game isnt what it used to be.. I only login every once in a while to check whether or not you made any changes.. The community is dead as well, all my friends have quit my friends list is as red as it can be.. No one is saying throw out Eoc out the window but atleast make it somewhat similar and simpler as the old system.. Oh well.. Seeing runescape not taking the golden joystick awards... and seeing the player base droo soo low actually hurts deep down :/... Never thought I'd quit this game but guess I was wrong.. Perhaps one day JAGEX will realise the mistake it made of not listening to their player..

^Such optimists you get on these posts. EoC was late 2012, not 2013.

It was a good year, but not perfect. I personally think NIS could have been released differently, and it's probably a good thing that HTML5 was delayed because it's not very computer-friendly.
It's good that bots are gone. Too bad there's no way to get rid of all those junk usernames sitting on someone's notepad somewhere, not even being used.... Newest Disciple of Xau-Tak

A good year in my opinion. My favorite updates were the ascension dungeon, the elder trees, World event 2 and the New Interface System. Too bad the video didn't have the ascension dungeon :(

I couldn't try the new barrows or Vorago I'm too nooby lol.

What about the Kalphite King? That was this year. January I think. I tried fighting him once. It was a hard fight, but a very cool update. That has to be one the best updates of the year. Really surprised that didn't make the video.

I'll recap what I said last year. What I hoped for 2013

1. Less Squeal of Fortune promotions
2. Minigame Updates
3. A way for players to influence the lore by making in game decisions
4. A way to redo quests
5. More variety in weapons and armour

The two world events were great! World event 2 was way better. You did #3 and I'm very happy for that. What I hope for 2014 is the other 4. I'm also hooping for a decent agility update.

These are my three main idea threads
Weapon and Armour Ideas
Prestige Ideas
Agility Ideas

highlights

- Rise of six (epic pvm content , however consider buffing the shields? )

- New combat abilities as rewards ( The world wakes and Bird and beast ) , i really like the addition of new cbt abilities it keeps the eoc diverse so not all players are running around using the same action bars as well as keeping cbt fresh.

- Listening to the community with regards to the prestige system.

- allowing the use of loyalty points in SGS.

- The new interface system ( how did i even put up with the old system )

NEGATIVES

- Tackle box nerf ( dont even get me started )

- All of the grave and crash bugs at the rise of the six ( made the content very frustrating at times)

- To much low lvl content i believe the game is packed full of low lvl content its the high end of the game that must be built on ( example The nexus )

- the very large number of server crashes

- warbands - op and to much free exp

- to many daily activities , that you feel if you dont do you miss out on the rewards

Future

- more new cbt abilities , gear , bosses and wepons

- ELF QUEST

- Minigame reworks

------- side note ignore all the EOC haters , EOC ftw ----------------------

Hopefully you guys read this, I've always kind of secretly been a really big fan of the Runescape music since I was a child. If I had to pick my favorite update of the year it has to be the new improvements to the songs, you guys really did go overboard with it and it quite literally is a pleasure to the ears. Three cheers to hearing the great music that 2014 will bring, I'm looking forward to it!

OMG

2013 was an amazing and fantastic year with all Jagex's hard work and effort.
if 2013 was this good then idk what 2014 would be like
=] <3

Not sure if trolling, just joined this year, or 7.

If you played any year before 2013, you'll see hands down this was the worst year in Runescape's history. I quit a majority of this year for not just 1 or a couple reasons, but a myriad of reasons.

This year Jagex poured a lot of effort into HTML5, NIS and EOC rebalancing, and other content suffered because of it.

It ended up eating up too much of their time and we saw a lack in other things. Overall all it was an OK year.

I'm pretty annoyed that Jagex never coded summoning pets to be intergrated into the pet interface and that the constuction updates are still not done. All of those no update weeks were felt as well.

I hope Jagex starts focusing on things besides large changes to the game and gets back to updating existing content and releasing more quests and new content.

Only in the last few months did Jagex start releasing more and better quality items into the SGS, while SOF got most of the updates this year.

If I can hope for one thing in 2014, it's more player design competitions where Jagex turns player ideas into game content. I LOVED the quest monster/ chaos druid and SGS costume competions. We need more of these kinds of competitions for 2014.
