I Do Lmao at these butt kissers calling you Mark as if they knew you.
I'd also like to thank you Marky for ruining this once great game in 2012
First of all you forced EOC on us like it or not,then after you lost us 1000's
of players and friends you crawl out your hole and give us RS 07.
But starting again from level 3 just wasn't an option for many of us,we
now have jobs and other commitments, if we wanted to be lezvel 3
again we'd open another account not be forced into doing so.
This at first seemed a good compromise in getting players back with your
bribes of free 6 months then a rise depending on another rigged vote as
in bring back wildy,which i heard was coming back anyway.
All this plus Legacy Etc could have been avoided if not for your EOC mess up.
Then SOF, for the better off in RL and in game gold who buy their way
to success rather than grind, another promise you broke when saying
you'd monitor it to stop buyers getting an unfair advantage over others.
Once the better off started filling yours and IVP Shareholders pockets,
you ignored the many 1000's of posts of players wanting rid of it and
disguised it as TH.
LOYALTY then and now is how much cash you can get in the now called
pay to pay scape.
Same to a lesser degree with SGS, If yoiu have the cash you get better
overrides,costumes emotes etc, LOYALTY gets you a load of crap, again
another broken proimise after the much awaited merge.
So on behalf of those whom you've lied to good riddance.

A letter to the RuneScape community from Mod MMG

Hey Everyone,

For the past six years I have had the immense pleasure of holding the position of CEO at Jagex. It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today to tell you all that this will be my seventh and final year at Jagex as I will be leaving this fantastic company and amazing talented passionate team this December.

I've been wrestling with just precisely how and when to say "goodbye" to not only all the amazing people at Jagex but of course to our beloved RuneScape community. Both have played such a seminal part in my life for what has seemed a lifetime and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute serving both.

If I look back over the past seven years we've come a very long way as a studio and no bigger testament of that is RuneScape. Now in our 14th year together, RuneScape continues to evolve and reinvent itself time and time again.

One of my proudest achievements at Jagex has been our efforts of tackling Botting and Gold Farming. When I first joined this was a huge problem for the business which I understand had plagued the game and community for many years. Today the game is virtually bot free and with the introduction of Bonds, gold farming too has become almost inexistent. A year on since Bonds was introduced, and I am again so pleased so see so many players reap the benefits of many years' hard effort and loyalty.

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! The return of PvP in the Wilderness & Free Trade, the launch of Old School RuneScape and most recently, Legacy Mode, have all been driven by YOU!.



So, you still going to make it to RuneFest?

adherence to religion does not necessarily make someone backwards.
If you use sources of reference, you'd see that Islam, at the time of the founder, was a symbol of social progress and equality.

Never seen people get so worked up over a game... I'm still enjoying it. Imo the game has only gotten better with time.

I'm going to be honest, and this may seem harsh...but it is necessary. As far as I'm concerned a CEO is responsible for the company and it's products, and the product thus far is less than satisfactory. Sure you've done some good things, but you've done some terrible things. As you've said, you've made a pledge to listen to the players and offer transparency...what happened to that with EoC? Hardly anyone wanted it, and over 150,000 people left because of it. I will be the first to say I like EoC, and it's a great system...but most members (the ones who pay for this product) said they did not like it and do not want it and you allowed it to go through, this was uncalled for and should have never happened. Instead, you shold have postponed it, worked on any bugs, then when everything is said and done you should have introduced it to us over a 3 month period and offered a beta open to f2p and p2p at the start of that 3 months that would last 5 months and upon entering the 4th month a vote should have been released asking for the opinions of all players as it affects everyone.

Honestly, I don't think you were an effective CEO, the choices you made were what caused this game to crash hard...I can see your vision, but the poor implementation was your downfall.

2009-2012 was great, you implemented so many good things for the game and made great choices...although the vision of new and better things clearly clouded your judgement and caused this mess we see today.

It's definitely time for a new CEO, and hopefully the right choices are made. I will say thank you for 2009-2012, but as of lately you've proven you're not the right CEO for Jagex.

Goodbye, and good luck with everything. I don't see you as a bad person, but the CEO position does not suit you well.

You will be missed; I think under the circumstances you did very well; I wish you the very best and I hope you discover a new passion; and that you are just as blessed in your new endeavors. Good Luck :)

Respectfully
