Jagex, i just want to comment on a few of your updates coming, and quote a few things you have said.
The update im talking about, is EoC, or Beta.
These are your comments;
"Since RuneScape has been around for over 11 years, we naturally take extreme care when introducing significant changes to its gameplay. This caution is a result of both the direct involvement that many of us at Jagex have had with the game throughout its history, and player feedback highlighting the concerns often associated with such change."
"I believe we are one of the few games studios in the world that prizes the integrity of the game and health of our community over commercial returns"
"Please know that - although some of our decisions are not necessarily popular - they are 100% driven by the aim of building the strongest possible future for RuneScape"
"As I touched on before, the team - all of whom are committed gamers, like you - are constantly working on new ways to improve game play, and to strengthen the studio so that more content can be created for enjoyment of the community"
These are Quotes from the Jagex CEO, all pointing at bringing a better game, yet you still seem to want to plough ahead with EoC. Turning Runecape a game in which MOST of the runescape playing base dislike.
If you really do believe what you have said Jagex, then you will scrap EoC, you have already spent way too long on it. Players play Runescape because it is Runescape, not because it is World of Warcraft.
The people that have probably done the most testing are people like Castle Wars and Smokey9112. Still there are an incredible amount of testing that needs to be done, that should not have to be done since the game does not need to be changed. Rethink what you are trying to do Jagex, think about what it will do to the playing base of Runescape. How many players will really stay?
Riad.
