lmao its hilarious how threads tend to get derailed by ppl talking about eoc. STFU this is a thread about jagex being sold to a chinese mining company for 300m

That last conversation started with maybe people leaving over higher membership prices with a takeover and just brought into line about how people may or may not leave like the apparent mass exodus with eoc, that was all.

So b4 telling people to STFU i encourage you to read 1st to see if those words are really needed. [qfc id=]whatever[/qfc]

No one claims players didn't leave with EoC. How ever the effect was exaggerated thanks to anti bot updates that also started coming online during the same time frame.

The people you know irl are ultimately an insignificant fraction of a percent of the total players on this game. So their leaving doesn't represent the vast majority of players.

What are you talking about?, people been claiming in-game and in this forums that we didn't lose players, that it was just bots being banned.

Are you serious on the last part?, I was just giving an small example of how real people left the game, even in-game my friend list is full of offline players (besides the ones I added recently...) and for obvious reasons no one on my friend list is a bot, most players this days can relate to that, and I'll give it a wild shot and include you, I'm certainly sure that players in your friend list quit at some point because of EoC.

Smh, this players, anyways this is off-topic.

No they haven't. What has happened is players blame ALL losses on EoC. Which ignore the anti bot programs like Bot Watch which went online around the same time. Players tend to point out anti bot updates because players are.....Honestly I'm not sure if ignorant or stupid of how heavily and unbelievably botted the game was before. The wilderness was removed because they couldn't handle the botting and gold farming.

My statement holds true. Assuming for the sake of argument there are 100,000 total players on the game. Also assuming your friend list is maxed out at 400. If all those players were to leave that would only be 0.4% of total player base. So that is ultimately an insignificant portion of the player base. I'm a big entropy fan.

It's good news for Runescape and the players that a Chinese firm is interested. Runescape is a great franchise and if Jagex can reach more people and expand to the east it may have a positive impact on the amount of players who do play this game. More people have access to the internet and if you have a great concept those people would love to spend their money on your game. I understand that investors after some time want to be able to sell their stocks and it can become a new period for Jagex.
Have you played RuneScape Classic, Darkscape or Chronicle RuneScape Legends lately? No you haven't. They're gone. #AbandonedByJagex

One thing that should not be forgotten is that PRC is a still a one political party dictatorship. In communist countries everything is also political, nothing can be fully separated from politics. I don't know how strongly Shandong Hongda Mining Co Ltd is tied to the communist party, but my guess would be that it is.

China seems to have a very long term pr strategy in Europe. In my country they bought a radio station and it became the best station ever with fantastic music. The program makers were pretty much free to do what they wanted. The only down side was that they squeezed in programs like "15 minutes of China" "What's new in China" etc. every now and then. It lasted untill they get their permit canceled, probably due to political reasons.

What I'm trying to say is that this purchase could also be part of that strategy. If it is then maby Jagex would be alowed to do their own thing as long as they make China look good. "The eastern lands"-in the spotlight?

Then it would only leave the moral dilemma of supporting a communist country like PRC and its companies. Not that it is genarally given much thought nowdays but it matters to me.

There is no thread EOC haters won't try to derail. Once you go NXT, you never go back.

Hmm... Let's see..

New combat came out - "Can we have the old style back please?" - Jagex = "No chance" ---We now have legacy.

"We want an '07 version of RS"- Jagex = "NOT POSSIBLE, we just don't have the servers anymore. We now have a pathetic version of osrs.

"Can we buy RS gold?"- Jagex= NO! Your account will be banned! We can now buy gold.

I could go on but it's just not worth the research because us long time players know all of the "facts" you've posted on the first page will be different to what we'll have in game.

I'll continue to play and pay for members via bonds bought ingame with skilling (NOT paying real money) because I know that this is the start of the end.
