Ladies and gentlemen, it is crystal clear that Jagex has the plan to ignore or even "abandon" Chronicles since Oct 2016. It can easily be seen from the lack of even a single update to its own official blog after Oct 2016. Do you remember what event happened around that time to Jagex? If your answer is the (then) Potential Acquisition of Jagex by a (now its current) Chinese owner, you are absolutely right.

No need to argue on just a few Reddit comments, but Draco is right in the general way though. Chronicle has never been, or at least not a big part, of Jagex's plan since Oct 2016. Its recent shut down announcement has nothing to do with TH, MTX or whatever, because the plan was there long ago - it is/was never an important part of Jagex's (new) business. :D :D :D

You know why loot boxes are good and game developers are
PUSHING FORWARD
with them?

The CEO of EA just told us in their earning conference call yesterday, when being asked about loot boxes and their future plan with them, by a representative from Goldman Sach:

"We’re going to continue pushing forward,” EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson said during a conference call with industry analysts. “We’re always thinking about our players. We’re always thinking about how to deliver these types of experiences in a transparent, fun, fair, and balanced way for our players"


I bet, likewise, Jagex put TH for us players to enjoy because they are always thinking about us. They're always thinking about how to deliver these types of fantastic experiences to us. :D :D :D

Oh yeah... all the game developers think we players love these types of loot boxes experience... and the Wall Street analysts applauded such comments and ways of conducting business, sending EA's stock up >4%. :D :D :D

Jagex didn't start this shet.

Jagex isn't facebook.

Jagex sells lootboxes, facebook sells poker chips that u can't cash out.

Jagex invented Runescape.

Facebook didn't invent poker.

Jagex has a right to sell their art.

Facebook is a scam. I hate it so much.
_____________________

Jagex has made a huge mistake tho. They continue to divide the community by creating new non-rs games, and many versions on rs too!

I wish we all stuck together working on the same project, Runescape ie. Runescape 3.

The rs community is dead because it's divided - I'm not talking about differing opinions, I'm talking about actually divided. RSC, OSRS, League of Legends, Reddit, and all the other sites that take u away from the main game, RS3. Dear God, please send the competition, feels like there ain't any.
I long lost count of the victories, there were just far too many.

Runescape's evolution is a harsh one to accept but it's quite simple: a company's priority is to make profit. Jagex's been following a trend that's similiar to business models to ensure its survival. I agree they could do a lot of things to improve the game, though to say Treasure Hunter is going, is like saying we'll cut off our leg so that our arms can do more things.

MTX has become part of the game and is so rooted that it's hard to untie. Without anything to replace it, I see lots of rants but never many alternatives to fill in the void once it's gone.

True, Solomon's store is a good way to support the game, but nowhere near as good as TH. Some say go back to the old days and make the game as it was. They tried that with Oldschool, now we've got Ironman, yet RS3 still relies on microtransactions, you may think.

What would happen to the players who have made progress through microtransactions before? They've all had a huge headstart on newcomers or others who haven't got that chance. This nullifies progress too, it's taking another step forward and two steps back.

With unfinished business we also saw lots of wishes that remanined unfulfilled for players, and all these things brought down the players' expectations. Though to cut MTX off now would mean even less development on both OSRS and RS3.

The game is still expanding, ninjas are doing great work, though some updates got delayed. Yet everything need to be in line with existing code - at all times- becoming more complex.
This takes an ever-increasing amount of work for an MMO, yet Jagex have been communicating their trials and errors to you and still interact with the community, unlike other companies that ignore many customers or respond with a simple yes and no.

With competitors in the gaming industry it's insane to say Jagex should cut its revenue, just to watch how others will get away with the spoils, and to wait for a dinosaur to trample a developing one. More money = success = survival. Sometimes one must operate within the
shadows
to serve the
light
. For a man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear fruits again in season, in order that the world may ever be new.

^ no one hates u dude.

U need to be taught a lesson tho - Roll with it or get rolled over.

Jagex didn't start this, their just rolling with it.

And I hope jagex wins... I hope they win the entire world... I'd rather jagex win the world than candyville. Dear God, please send the competition, feels like there ain't any.
