It's no secret that I and many other players were and continue to be unhappy with the manner in which you chose to handle our game. Nor is it a secret that your duplicity and sometimes downright dishonesty in presenting certain consequences of your managerial style severely crippled your credibility with us, the players.

What's done is done. I haven't played regularly in some time now, for one because I'm tired of a game that has had to be relearnt every few weeks since EoC came out (too early, as you admitted too late). I've not been paying attention recently; perhaps you've finally gotten it settled down to workable before you bow out. At least you had the strength here in your farewell to admit that you hadn't always got it right. Still, that's a bit of an understatement looking back at particularly the last couple of years.

Odd that I should come back to check the news just in time to find this farewell. I well remember being excited at seeing you come in, and what you said then struck just the right chord with me and many other honest, committed players of the game. And then horrified to see the difference between what you had originally said, and what you actually did. At this changeover, I can't say that I'll be either reassured or excited about Pips taking the helm.

However, I wish no ill to anyone, and that includes you Mark Gerhard. Good luck in whatever is next for you, and may you find easier subject matter that will allow you to more accurately spin whatever it is that you will be spinning, and a more receptive audience that will readily give you the adulation you have so clearly sought.

Yes, Mod MMG has had his bad decisions, but I keep thinking of the good ones, most of all the botting ones. I did quit when EoC came out, but my buddy stayed and made me come back and I do not regret that decision. The game has fundamentally changed and is no longer the same game it was 4 years ago, many friends having left this game, but I do wish to thank Mod MMG for everything. The game could have avoided the steep EoC entrance, but it could also have gone much worse and it didn't.

Thank you.

Some of the people in this thread cannot be anymore rude. "goodbye you wont be missed". Fmods what are you guys doing...?


People are allowed opinions. I disliked him and what he's done to the game also.

The game has lost SO many people in the time he's been CEO.

SoF Feedback Response; 4th May 2012.

Naturaly, the team and I are saddened that some players are upset about free spins and some also don’t like the ability to also purchase additional spins, however, the reality is 90% of our members are enjoying the Squeal of Fortune on a daily basis and over 70% of our free players utilise the Squeal of Fortune daily too
These figures are/were at the least misleading or plucked out of
thin air as no polls were actually done,He/Jagex used those who used free spins not buyable making it some of the most widely appreciated content released to date. The majority of our players also continue to take advantage of the many free ways to earn extra spins certainly here to stay.


The stated concerns from players regarding RWTing, gambling or using the Squeal of Fortune to buy their way to success are simply not true, and not possible given the design of the system. Whilst we have seen most players take advantage of the new rewards and many choosing to purchase extra spins, we have not witnessed any abuse of the system despite monitoring it extremely closely.

W ell we all know thats a LIE even spin buyers will agree.

You’ll naturally all hear a lot more about this in the very near future so watch this space.

"choob" he says... I knew he was an oldschool pker at heart... That only means it's time for me to move on as well. Guess I'll just have to occasionally log in to see how further rs will continue to plunge into mediocrity until it becomes complete booty cheeks as well.

Travel the U.K., Visit Australasia and Japan/India/East China for future Gaming notions.

Perhaps you will build the MMO of the Century, it certainly looks like a viable option for you.

If you do, hire Jagex staff to work 2-3 days at the company you found or are employed in, and spend the rest of the week updating Runescape.

Peace. =P

Thanks Mod Mark, many will miss you and many wont. I will be one of the ones that miss you. Although, when i first returned to runescape 2 years ago, I was very lost and confused, it wasnt a bad thing. Yes it wasn't the runescape i had always loved and cherished, but perhaps a new adventure to embark on. Today, I have more fun playing runescape than i ever did before. There is only one time i can recall having more fun on runescape, and that is back when pking still had skulls, and i'd be out there with irl friends when we were noobs, and now even that has returned. Thanks for everything you do and have done. I'm looking forward to all of the future runescape updates, the good and the bad, Because when you love something, you stick with it through thick and thin.

Good Luck Mark, Have many great ones to come.

Hello,
I will miss you greatly. I feel you have really worked hard to enhance Runescape, making this lovely game year the best ever. You took time to listen to the community and put the players first. I really feel you did a fantastic job. I do hope from time to time that you look in on us and are proud of how you helped make this an epic experience, and perhaps allow us to be silly and still ask a million and one questions within a five minute session :) . From the first moment I logged into Runescape and even now, it takes my breath away and still "wow's" me, I hope you know just how much you carried my heart and imagination into each day you have looked over us.
I hope you have an amazing time, and are so very happy with the new adventures (and quests) you will encounter as you move through life, with much love to you and your family,
Lady Jammies
