So not only are Second Chance Tuesdays back, but they're now 2-day promotions covering Wednesday too.

So, the promise is not only broken, but stamped on, fed into the grinder and disgraced,

Plus, now we're back to constant 7-day promotions already.

Words for how pathetic this is don't exist by this point. Good luck selling Mobile, because this sort of behaviour is going to lead to you just being abandoned with the other MTX heavy mobile apps.

For one of the first experiments we will not be running second-chance-Tuesday for the rest of the year .


Am I reading this part wrong? I'm quite sure that "the rest of the year" only means 2017 since that statement was posted in 2017. And also notice that it said this was an experiment, so I don't see how there was anything promised in regards to "second-chance-Tuesdays".

It's true that the Wednesday which has usually had no promo active for the majority of the weeks in 2018, have suddenly been filled with either an extra day for the "second-chance" promo (see April 8-14 week and the most recent week) or an extra day added to the usual 5 day promos (see the week of March 25-31 and April 15-21).

I really don't understand why you're making a big deal about it, when TH is an integral part of Jagex's revenue. Sure if you were a shareholder or the Chinese investor that acquired Jagex, then you'd actually have more of a valid reason to be concerned of the direction RS is heading towards. Considering that many players nowadays pay for membership using their in game GP through bonds (since GP is super easy to make in RS3), then removing TH (or reducing its prominence) would hurt Jagex financially considering they have shareholders and the Chinese investor to appease to. You can be sure that OSRS will end up with MTX to compensate, and OSRS players would be furious about it. Clue Drops -> 3a Range Top (h357), 3a Full Helm (h439), 3a Druidic Staff (e969), Barrows Dye (h1755, h2546, e680, e1567, e2038, e2160, m480, m783, m862), Shadow Dye (e510, e1970, e1985, h2948), Ice Dye (e1539, e2804), 3a Dye (e3129)

Active RS members have gone up to 723.3k according to official Jagex Financial Reports, definitely not going down. Operating revenue and profits have been going up, in fact, setting new records. MTX has risen to >36% of total revenue last year.

Any numbers other than the ones officially released by Jagex and its owners, i.e. Hongtou and Fukong Interactive are just garbage, let alone the ones not even with any source quoted. :D :D :D

Mobile apps are going up fast. Players are embracing, not abandoning, them. If they go with heavy MTX, so be it. You don't have to pay any MTX as most mobile games are f2p anyway. Same thing with whatever Jagex mobile apps probably. At least, the initial RS mobile apps come with the full game support. I don't see anything different in the monetization front. They are likely the same thing as in the PC versions. Not any more MTX, and nothing less.

Who care about heavy MTX in mobile games anyway? When you see mobile games growing faster than anything else even with the "heavy MTX", it only means players are not bothered by MTX at all. :D :D :D

So, Smouldering Lamps is back, as we have had weeks of 24/7 promotions. Pathetic, utterly and completely, absolutely pathetic.

24/7 promos again, constant overpowered XP-selling. Your promises in your monentisation statement like broken, crumpled, smashed and forgotten.

Confidence in your from your playerbase stands at an all-time low as your greed continues to show no bounds.

Watch me refuse to even open TH again while this idiotic promotion runs. Know that your continued greed will kill off this game eventually and will drive Mobile to failure.

But of course, neither you, the MTX team, nor the shareholders that control you and don't give two figs about gaming or the players, really will care, will you?

Honestly, it's shameful. This is why players put up with an inferior outdated 11 year old version of this game; because this kind of stupidity is not thrust down their throats constantly, because that Dev team does not lie to the players constantly.

If only we could make a JMod read through this thread so they can have to explain away on stream how it's been entirely broken within months.
