Wow, I didn't see this coming. Take care! It's been an interesting journey having you as CEO over the years, Mark. I'm proud to have experienced a nice part of that. Best of luck with future endeavors. Thank you for everything you've done, especially in regards to destroying bots!

From what I've seen, Pips is an amazing guy who loves the community. I'm excited to read that he will be taking over here on out. :D

"Back in 2009, I pledged that we would start talking to our community more, and keep you all in the loop after a decade of perceived secrecy. Fast forward to 2014 and I think we have done just that!"

Or "just done that".

But yes, farewell, and thank you for your efforts. You did your best against The Americans.

Yes my 50/50 split between good people and ass hats is a number pulled out of thin air. Thank you for calling me on that.

Mmg didn't divide and segregate the community. Players chose to do so. Players picked the "my way is the only right way". legacy and EoC only need to be separated for PvP because EoC has inherent advantages. OSRS was separated because it was to radically different. And players voted for it knowing it would be separate from the game.

There is no RWT though Jagex. Micro transaction in the various forms =/= RWT**** is such a bad sourse of exp and gp. You would have to drop a whole hell amount of money into it to gain any appreciable rewards from it. And if you are willing to spend 600+ dollars on this game then have your higher levels. I can do it for free. Solomon is pure cosmetic. No actual impact on the game. Closest you can come to is bank space increase but having that doesn't suddenly allow me to gain gp/exp, drops or kill something faster. Bonds is far from RWT. You have to stretch the definition to make it fit. Buying a service from Jagex then being given the option to trade it for free or sell it to another player that wants said service (usually membership) using only money they made in game. Got a clan mate who has paid their membership with loot from bossing since bonds came out.

Compare this to before with gold farmers I would pay them 20 dollars and they would trade me 30M gp. Or a shiny new AGS. 3rd parties profiting off of Jagex's game. If you like Jagex or not you should agree only they or parties they have signed contracts with should profit from their property. Bonds have help stop/reduce gold farmers and other real RWT that actually hurt the game. Which was two fold because gold farmers relied on bots to mass gather gp. Which hurt game's economy driving down prices of many items. I'm a big entropy fan.

They have given power to the players. In the proper amount. Players have a say in content but not the final say. This is required because frankly we don't know wtf we are doing. The complain about how popular 1 iteming is with AGS in Legacy PvP can trace the problem back to player's asking/demanding for things in Legacy and Jagex giving it to them.

Stats to matter more = higher hits
Specs scaling with level = harder hitting specs
Spec bar = ability to rush players easily and abuse above things.
No ability = reduced ability to stop or reduce effectiveness of rushers
H* off armor completely = empowering 1 itemers by reducing any disadvantage of bringing only 1 item. I'm a big entropy fan.

I think we should place a statue of MMG in the game and whenever a player redeems a bond for membership he can go and retrieve a random gift. On certain holidays it can also trigger the harlem shake.

I'm not even joking. Go! Do this!

Good riddance. Thanks for f-ing runescape over and now your jumping ship. You know a captain is suppose to go down with their ship?

The things mod mmg did.

Forced eocscape, even some jagex employees didn't want this. Gave us no poll for such a huge change to the game.

Brought solomans store.
Brought in a crap ton more mirco transactions.
Brought real world trading (bonds)

Only good thing you did was bring wildy/free trade back and oldschool runescape. Every other decision you did was terrible. You tried to turn runescape into a game it wasn't made to be. You damned this game. I hope your happy and I hope that no other game company hires you.
