I want to make a suggestion.
I Bought a ps4 recently and i bought GTA5 which i already had an account that was a good level on the ps3 version. A very interesting feature to transfer character content over from the ps3 version was available.
I believe rs3 characters and account level at bare minimum should be transferable for the reason mention below.
Old school players are generally above the age of 18 and have, Partners work and advanced studies such as college which takes up alot of our day. We do not have the younger day hours to spend leveling up to level 110+ combat. We all did this once already back in the days.
Now regardless if people used bots to achieve that or genuinely achieved that. I think RS has good anti botting systems put in now and RS should build a bridge and get over that bad Times we all experienced together.
I believe if runescape made this update that they could reach up to at least 15k old players returning to the game. If we analyse the data. We had 400k PLUS members purchasing membership just so they can vote for the return of runescape. Now I log in and we are averaging only 10% of the potential customer base. I feel Jagex needs to start listening to their customers.
Even if jagex is strapped for cash, Maybe a $10 fee to do this transfer would be something Jagex should consider to raise some income. I guarantee you people will pay as they have paid in the past. This will also stop users from trying to bot there way back up because they cant be bothered doing all the levels and quests and what not all over again.
What oldschool needs is more players and if we do not see more players anytime soon I predict Jagex oldschool will be running in negative figures and be forced to shut down and lose overall players and revenue.
