Most memberable moments of 2013.

Old School RS - I'm glad the vets that truly enjoyed the original combat system are enjoying their version of RS. This also eliminates the desire for illegal servers.

HTML5 - I'm still looking forward to this, and appreciate the effort that went into this so far. It is a shame the browser technology needed isn't there yet.

Less $oF promotions ... yeh we had more this year then last.

RS3/NIS - Talk about an awful start. Though I think most of the glitches are gone, it shows how you need to beef up (or create) an actual QA team. Most of the bugs could have been mitigated prior to launch.

Bonds -
Nice work on these!
While I hate any form of RWT, it has helped the economy recover from the bots. It is now worth it to fish again and mine ore/coal.

DDoS attacks - Bound to happen as you did great work in kicking gold farmer ass with the bonds and anti-botting technology. Though it is now harder to get the pitchforks from voting how to kill bots. Perhaps a dedicated server where all bots go to be crushed?

Well of goodwill. The one aspect that annoyed me was that you were giving out titles based on donations.

'' While it’s been a great year, I believe we can only continue to improve if we reflect on some of the things we did*’t get quite right. We’re as human as the rest of you, so we make mistakes too. What matters most is that we learn and improve, so we’re always making a better game and giving you a better service. ''
-MMG

I can rant about this, I don't think you've learned from your mistakes as you keep repeating them between the $oF, recurring bugs, and blatant lies. The only reason why I don't quit is because this is still better then other games...which I find hard to believe. But I've tried to quit a lot since you took the helm. The Gowers ran the company better then you ever will!

" 2014 is about you. "
So you'll be doing away with the $oF promotions then? That be a great start!
Jagex 2019 New Year Resolution... MTX our customers until RS3 SERVER SHUTDOWN PARTY!
The RS3 Community is treated like :@ RUBBISH :@ due to constant TH promotions.

Don't buy keys on Treasure Hunter, if you do Jagex will only make more TH promotions :(

I'm tired of people complaining about EoC and SoF, it's been out for months and you still haven't gotten over it? People need to learn to get used to a changing world and grow up, it's not 2007 anymore.


Adapt or quit, people will always complain, doesn't matter about what.

Complaining, if constructive, helps to improve the game if they use that feedback.

Since threads against this are told to be locked. Here.

Its full of Poop (would use the other word. Keeping it friendly). Oneday I would love a perfectly straight letter. Many agree 2013 was awful.

- Lack of quests
- Year of redundant Minigames
- Year of redundant PVP
- Most equipment and weapons redundant
- Trying to accuse bots for the mass inflation, *cough* SoF money bags*
- Empty content months (most recent, novemeber)
- Passing off patch notes as updates
- Tip toeing around EoC in RuneFests PVP talks. Aparently you want to make the shields better. That wont do anything. EoC is the problem there.
- A rushed Grandmaster quest because of ignorance.
- Divination delayed many times
- The second skill comes in 2014, probably a few months in
- Summoning changed for the sake of SoF promotions
- Members drop, theres not even enough players to get the 450k vote mark these days! and its only just over that because of this Penny Membership promotion to players who quit.
- Grind fest world events, bigged up to amazing and ground breaking. THAT WAS RS3? RS3 was nothing more than a world event + NIS. This is NOT a huge update they make it out to be
- Promises of dimming down promotions. Yet theres constantly 3 around on the front page at the same time.
- Massive rush to push out boss's to make EoC look worth while. Because of this it left equipment highly unbalanced with prices. And you just make varago more hardcore?
- Runescapes a ghost town
- 1/3 of your members play OSRS!
- Bonds, full of Poop. Its nice in its ways. But it does not stop botting, it does not stop inflation, it does not stop gold farmers!
- Lack of communication, most people want answers and the only ones we get are about SoF promotions not working!
- Too much free XP! devalues game play. Not an interesting reward.

So please tell me how this was the best year yet. And please tell me how it was our year. Next year will be the same.

And if you do want to do something. Please build from the ground up.
Donate a hat, keep my bald head warm.

2013 was the best year for RS. We saw bots stop in their tracks and legitimate player numbers are starting to rise once more. We did see an increase in CM involvement (though, I'd like to see CM involvement more in the game than outside of it), the community seems to finally be getting better (the whining, hating, anti-Jagex players seem to be going into the minority). RS3 takes the game into the next generation, and the game sees so much more success than ever.

Quite honestly, I wonder if you guys will be able to top 2014, but if you can... I can't even comprehend it. :P

Quite honestly MMG, your in-depth, down-to-earth messages and videos are why you're my favorite CEO of Jagex. I've seen all three, and none of them balanced managing a business with being transparent with your players the way you have. My gratitude for not only keeping this game alive, but also taking it further than I ever could imagine.

To think that almost ten years ago, I started playing that little, amateur-looking MMO, and now I'm playing the world's largest F2P MMO, and one of the largest MMOs altogether. It's unbelievable.

God bless, and merry Christmas to everyone at Jagex. :)

I'm sorry, there's so much more I want to rant about this year than I want to compliment on.

For the following year I'd like to see:
1. MAJOR improvement to the combat system based solely on player feedback.
2. Mining/Smithing/Agility/Construction reworks
3. Inventing skill

Pat on the back for bonds though, best idea I've seen in this game for a while.

Happy Holidays,
but also, try to have a Happy Everyday ^_^
