To those complaining about the game only getting SoF and Solomon's updates on a regular basis anymore, consider the following:
1) Jagex has stated numerous times in the past that major updates (example: EoC, sequels of quest series, and Eastern Lands) take a great deal of time to plan, design, test, debug, and release. Said projects usually take many months to come to fruition, which is why it feels like it takes forever for certain things to be released.
2) The SoF and Solomon's updates are quick, relatively easy updates that provide extra fuel for the aforementioned projects and keep membership prices somewhat stable (the amount of profits that go toward the updates are subject to speculation for us players, but that's beside the point). The summer months, when there's a higher volume of players, is an opportune time to release these promotions where additional income can be made from microtransactions.
To put simply, until EoC is released and a vast majority of the development team is free to work on other projects, we'll be stuck in a lull of game updates that are noticeably significant to the majority of players. Calm down, and have a bit more patience. While many of the players have legitimate concerns about the lackluster updates, a lot of you are just overreacting.
