Opinion Poll: Update Size vs Frequency (polled year 2015)

and lastly THIS IS NOT WOW...... THIS IS NOT WOW..... THIS IS NOW WOW....
stop with the frikken comparing. Both Businesses are OWNED by 2 different groups of people who both have their own visions. If Runescape was meant to be like wow they would MERGE THE 2 GAMES. You like wow better then rs fine GO PLAY IT, but stop bringing it up on a GAME THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

You're right. This isn't Warcraft. But they are now $4 off a Warcraft price tag. And you get 15-20x more content from Warcraft than you do Runescape. 50 Characters per account. 15+ different races to play as. 10+ Classes to play as. Thousands more Quests. Hundreds more bosses and mobs to fight. Massive amounts more customization. And MTX not being shoved in your face 24/7 365.

I love WoW, it's a great game and agree it has 100x more depth. But one reason I play RuneScape over WoW these days is WoW is not very AFK friendly and I no longer have time to focus on hard core vidya. What I want is a high budget Cookie Clicker like game with some depth, where you feel progress but with the progress being largely AFK. I haven't really found anything like this, RuneScape seems to be the closest. :D

Question 1 of 1
We currently aim to release a core game update every week. Do you think it would benefit the game to have more significant but less frequent updates? Patch notes & ninja fixes would still be released weekly.

Stay the same

I don't mind

So many seem to complain about the content and updates. Here is a tip for you EITHER PLAY THE GAME MORE or PAY ATTANTION to when Jagex WANTS your input. The Fact that you constantly complain about Jagex updates or the Lack there of shows that you are NOT Paying attention when it comes to rs. The above poll results Cleary state what the MAJORITY AT THE TIME asked. This is NOT the only Poll they done in Game either. Many of the complaints are in warranted if you would just be EDUCATED on a game you claim you care about

Example for those that don't comprehend this: Burger King and Mc Donald's both have Cheeseburgers. They both have their own uniqueness and both Businesses are owned by 2 different people. If you prefer 1 over the other you go to it. You don't ask Burger King to make theirs like Mc Donald's

Your right, it isn't but I will keep bringing it up because as many times as it takes for you to get it through your thick skull that content, not price.

This is exactly why Runescape shouldn't be the same amount as WoW. And they threw that damn poll out the damn window when the got rid of expansion because it was a FAILURE Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.

But you aren't paying $11 bucks a month for any other clicker. And most people don't even chat anymore because they go to discord which is completely free.

With Runescape, you are being hit by a constantly increasing membership, as well as a large amount of MTX.

This game needs new players and it just isn't going to cut it like this. Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.

Probably because they are milking the 10% of the player base who hasn't left, not looking for new players. It's time for a new RuneScape. I think RuneScape needs a proper non-Jagex competitor. WoW isn't it. Like I said, WoW is a masterpiece and Blizzard is an amazing and probably the best game studio in the world. What RS has is has is the ability to AFK and feel "progress". This is what I like. Few games have this that are "real games" or they are purely mobile games. I got addicted to Cookie Clicker, but it's not even a real game. So something like Cookie Clicker but with more depth, and a PC game. :D

larger. what does that mean? i assume players want playable content that lasts, not dead content upon release or shortly after. they want a larger experience that will last until the next update. half want that. 18% don't care and the rest want smaller yet still not disposable content.

wow vs its copycats--the comparison would be the whopper vs McDonald's regular burger.
a comparison with rs would be; going to a grocery store (rs) and buying a handful of worms while at another store (wow) you can buy gorton's garlic fillets at the same price.

rs was referred to as a toy version of an rpg. i think that fits perfectly. players asked for rs to be built up. that is nxt. do not ask for it to be built up, it has been. players asked for mounts. they got the terrorbird pool floaty. do not ask for mounts. you have them.

a remote control Lamborghini for 200$ is awesome, 400k$ for a real one is awsome . even more awesome for an Enzo Ferrari. 400k$ for an rc can't be a legitimate thought.

rs and wow should be compared, however there is no comparison. the prices should reflect that.

Been looking forward to Solak :) I hope it remains a tough team/social boss.

Runescape got me entertained for hundreds of days playtime. Always coming back (e.g. Solak) and checking when im not playing. Even though I'm not paying for membership since the release of bonds I'd gladly pay 10 bucks to do what I enjoy doing for another 100 hours. (If I ever find the time again that is. :| )

The only pill I could never swallow was Jagex spending alot of their assets on other projects like mechscape, transformers, 8realms, arcanists2 etc. instead of investing these resources in attracting players for Runescape. (Or atleast not dropping every project before trying :P ) It'll cater almost everyone to make advertisements and maybe free membership for a while for everyone after Runescape mobile lauches.

wait, i just saw a flying mount. what was that? was that a teleport in and a teleport out?

i saw a reddish dragon swoop down and take a bite out of the morchello mushroom plot in mortanyia and then flew away.

Are you kidding me with more forced group content? Why are you appealing to such a small minority of your player base? The same way you pander to the pk-babies.

Also. New bosses don't have to be more and more and more challenging. With every new boss you add using that method of power creep you will alienate more and more of your player base with every new boss. Minmaxers and elitists are the smallest portion of any mmo, why are you pandering to them? New bosses can be engaging in just having new mechanics and unique ways to defeat them. This "every new boss must be harder" is entirely arbitrary.


You know what made Runescape unique to me? The bosses were soloable. Every boss should have a solo mode. It makes sense to adjust drops to match the effort involved, and that a group mode would have to have loot adjusted to rewards the increased number of participants. The advantage of group bossing used to be about speed and split effort among the group. A group could kill bosses faster = more kills per hour = more money.

With bosses shifting to group content only, you're killing one of the things that made this game so unique. I used to be able to participate in and clear all content on my own being 100% self sufficient while having a huge player base to interact with socially. If you kill everything that drew me to Runescape over other MMO's because of the unique aspects it once had, why should I stick around when I can get the same experience - group play, but actually much better, in a different game for what is barely more expensive now?

I've been around since 2013, the updates this year seem a bit underwhelming compared to previous years: Prifddinas and Menaphos or even Mazcab. I wish there was a new region/content this summer to look forward to :(
