Cya ******.


Lmao I love arguments like this, because they have barely any logic to them whatsoever.

Do remember the only reason RuneScape's 'Players Online Now' count is at 30k or whatever low number you want to use is because all the bots and gold farmers are now virtually none existent. In 2007, Player count would peak at say, 200K on weekends and holidays, but only around 75k-100K of these would be actually real players sitting behind a Computer or Laptop. The other half or whatever would be bots. Now that bots are gone, the player count will be inevitably lower.

Of course, i'm not dis-counting EoC as a cause for the player count being as low as it is today. Alot of veterans got upset by this sudden change, but alot of people tend to over-exaggerate the impact EoC had on the numbers. People say that "RuneScape is dead because of EoC" but if that really was the case, then I wouldn't be posting this at the moment as the company and the website would of been shut down from the lack of profits they are making.

And don't even get me started on SoF/TH/SGS. They're there to make Jagex Money, money needed to bring out awesome updates. Jagex is a business after all :)

Of course, everyone has a different opinion on Mod MMG. Some people think he's done good, others think he's done bad. This post was just my logical argument as to why the player count is so low.

Said it before and i'll say it again, thanks for all you've done Mod MMG :D . We will miss you ^.^

It's sad seeing you leave MMG knowing you've been with RuneScape for so long. Thank you for all the work you've put into making RuneScape grow, and I hope you've enjoyed being part of the game as much as I've enjoyed playing it :P
And to protect the Stone until such a time as, near to death, whereby you are relieved of all duties and shall henceforth be returned to your home plane with the gratitude and blessings of Guthix.

Others have said the same but really "the game is virtually bot free", sorry but the numbers of bots is rising and I haven't seen this many for a long time. There's one at bronze dragons in the Chaos Tunnels on W92 which I report most days to no effect.

So no, I'm sorry but that bit is not true MMG.

I'm with you
No doubt EoC bunches a few pairs of underpants but the bot nuke was an amazing piece of programming.

Thanks for everything you've brought to the company MMG you've certainly made an unforgettable impact!! Hopefully your successor is successful as well :)

Sorry but I don't know how I feel about this, you've left a bad impression on many and myself. Maybe your expertise in money making didn't sit well with your customers here.
Not going to miss you honestly but good luck in life sir.

Good luck Mod Pips in getting this wrecked car out of this ditch. I know you can do it!
