You seem to forget that the 66% loss in player count is directly due to their so called savvy business decisions and practices. Jagex alone is responsible for the loss of 66% of their players when they took a healthy game and tried to clone WoW and other games out there. They were making a decent profit before and then their savvy business decisions decreased their profit margin; hence the return of 2007. I have a degree in Business and it isn't hard to do the math. When your profits depend on happy players and you **** off 66% of them, it isn't truly a savvy business decision. It reflects a true misunderstanding of the social and economic aspects of this game as an immersive world. Players like immersive worlds simply because our efforts count for something and we can depend on earning something in return (armor, resources, etc) unlike in the real world where you can work your butt off and get next to nothing in return or some attorney can come along and seize your assets in a frivolous lawsuit. Immersive worlds offer a safer version of the world in which we can expect to control most aspects of our avatars lives. Jagex's decisions not only nerfed our armor won through tedious wealth building, but deflated our banks by 75% after eoc was introduced. That is not conducive to building a trust relationship with the player clientelle.
It was definitely not wow they were cloning, nothing like it
more like a failed guild wars 2 spin off with the weapons having different action bars.. weirdest idea to me but anyway.
I think your forgetting that Jagex may have lost players but they won more money with game evolving with the ever popular micro transactions that many other mmo games have done previously before rs. Not only that, but new games Blizzard are making make a hell of a lot of money just from players forking out 11 dollars for an outfit! Think of many players doing this week in and week out.
