This is awesome and if you have anything bad to say about it before you've even played your just a hater :@

Ace of spades was a good idea even though it bombed and the fact Jagex's response to that is to just try again instead of scraping the whole thing is amazing! Jagex has my respect, I'll defiantly give Block * Load a shot just on principal.

Why am I paying for the Gold Premier Club if I'm not getting all new promotional in-game items?

No resources are taken from RuneScape and given to other games. New hires are made for the other games.

So Jagex increased the price of RuneScape membership, bonds, etc. to invest in RuneScape, but instead hires new developers to work on other games. This makes as much sense as the laws of physics in Gielinor. O_o

Not going to lie, I wasn't holding out much hope for this BUT! I am finding myself to be enjoying it... Nigel Purdey-Longshott is by far my favourite character. He's fantastically British and I love it!

Not trying to dis all the work done already, but my prediction is that it's going to be a flop. Please Jagex, listen to me, WORK ON RUNESCAPE. You're good at Runescape work on it. Runescape is what you're known for, make it better. Wasting money on flop after flop is not a good idea ever. I would've given up making flops by the third flop. It's fine to be a one hit wonder with runescape, because runescape is what you're good at. But please, no more throwing money away on flops. Let this be the last. Then you've worked with artplant, a company who can't make popular games to save their lives. A one hit wonder of 1 game battlestar galactica.

cmon jagex, no more flops please. Listen to your customers when they tell you don't throw money in the garbage bin. Hire more people for runescape instead, give us way more content. Make the runescape your players/customers want. Have people working to fix issues while others get to take a creative lead.

Its fine to want diversification, but when it's flop after flop, it becomes painful to watch. 8realms? WOL? Stellar Dawn? Funorb? Remember arcanists, the great game you abandoned? I found acanists to be an awesome game, hilarious even. If this flops, toss in the diversification towel.

How has Jagex screwed up:
In game purchases, to buy keys to maybe get something. Maybe. Bonds I'm ok with, they do more good than evil.

EOC: Removed what made runescape, runescape, and made it into a WOW clone. WoW is dying, don't get caught in the death throes by mimicking them. Players want the combat that we had in 2007 scape. Maybe a few tweaks to make sure that the combat triangle works.

New animations/art style: Another blunder, people want what made runescape runescape.

I remember when membership was cheap, at like 5 freedom dollars, and population was high. Servers full and bustling with activity. Soul wars bursting with players. Mini games packed. When we had 200+ servers. When servers would be full.
One of the best goats in Runescape.

Some how I do not see a connection or the need for and extra advertisement of this new game in RS shores.

Did you overlook that my membership guaranty a game free of advertisement. I always thought that was part of my membership delight.

The Block (N) Load (new Jagex game) nice looking outfit do not belong in RuneScape. Can you please keep your other games advertisement where they belong and do not start making RuneScape a place full of out of place outfits...

Did you all had a new way of advertisement revelation? Great idea but out of place.

Very disappointed about this outfit been display in Gielenor. :(


First off, everyone seems to forget, although yes, Jagex needs a playerbase to make income, they also are allowed to do what they please with their content. We do not own this game, we basically rent it.

Second, in regards to ads, you also seem to forget that this applies to THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING .. not ads from Jagex.

Third, the outfit is steam-like, it fits Runescape, but if we want to get into things that don't fit into Runescape, well, the list will start to grow rather quickly with content we have had in the game for the past.. what.. 5 or 6 years?

Forth, before some individuals wish to call me as a mod wannabe, or a fangirl/boy, or some other insecure or inappropriate remark, know that the individuals at Jagex, many of them took college, from game development to business practices, I'm pretty sure a large number that makes up this community has not gone to college or finished college. And the ones that make up the playerbase that ARE in college (or votech), I would respect their opinion a bit more as they have learned more in depth on these matters.

Sorry. No interest in unoriginal games.

You can do better jagex.


Technically, developers all take ideas from other sources, no game is truly original.
I'm on YouTube - Search me at Littlejayberry . Or don't. Up to you.

This game is not likely to flop. People who have played it like it. It is fun. Stop the negativity. Jagex: keep up the good work. I suck at your new game but I'll probably eventually purchase it after the free weekend ends since it's fun and I hate TF2 because there are only heavy weapons.
