Thanks.

In future, could we look at interest polls to gauge the rough interest in a particular aspect of the game. Whether the poll pass or fail would not affect anything in game.

For example, we could poll the interest level in GWD, or F2P, or even fun polls like which rare do you prefer, which Jmod do you like the most (jk!), etc.

Just a thought.

I like the idea of having updates, but I like them to be few and far between. I voted against this new mini-game, but only because I imagine that it takes away resources from bot-fighting. I like to see updates when they're the right updates. I can't believe that at least 75% voted yes to this new minigame though. Oh well.


If the game changes too much or starts introducing too much new stuff, its pretty easy to unsubscribe and move on --- again.

I'm tired of the notion that OSRS should stay as a time capsule to August 2007. That particular date isn't exactly the most developed or intriguing point in RS history, being just before the release of GWD and right after Mithril Dragons release.
It's comparable to purgatory in the sense that it's a blank slate, a slate that we can improve together. It's not about 'no updates', it's about the right updates, and I'm adamant we can decide on them together.


What I'm getting at here is that the current version of OSRuneScape is hardly perfect, we have little end-game content, various skills are riddled with inconsistencies (as mentioned by Mat, Smithing could do with a Smith all function), why shouldn't we attempt to fix these problems? The Shantay Pass bank chest still insists on telling you it's a bank every time you click on it for example, would the people who are anti-updates be against the removal of that text? As it makes banking there easier? It's silly to me, we have a great opportunity to make the game we want with OSRS, It would be wrong NOT to update.

EDIT: PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO JAGEX:
PLEASE do NOT add material that will make the skills easier!!!!! It makes the hard work we've done previously less valuable, and many famous Runescapers quit for THAT reason (Zezima, gertjaars, etc)..

I am all for new updates, such as GWD, dominion cave, all that Jazz. But please dont add like Runespan, living rock caverns, etc. To the game. It depletes the hardwork of the actual oldschoolers.

DOUBLE EDIT: --> FOR PROOF, This is what Zezima wrote (its on his youtube wall)---------ZEZIMA: I have stopped playing RuneScape competitively because it's getting progressively easier over time. With it getting easier to train skills and gain exp, I've lost a sense of accomplishment in what I've worked hard to achieve since I started in 2001. If things will continue to get easier, it ruins the game for those of us who have been here since the beginning.

Hey Mod Mat K,

This will probably be covered up, but in hopes that you may read this, i have a few suggestions, that i beg you atleast throw into a poll someday.

1) PLEASE, give a poll to have a 'Fairy ring quick-select' , i know it was installed into the game early 2008, and i don't think it would give any experience advantage.

2) Can we vote for GWD yet? I miss slaying zamorak mages, or teaming with friends to kill graardor. Even though that isn't "2007 oldschool", it's still quite a nostalgic to many players.

That is all i ask, i feel we shouldn't go crazy throwing updates into 2007scape, or we're just going to see the same results. And, we should DEFINITELY not install activities that would modify the normal experience, that would be devastating.

Thanks to the readers, much appreciated,

(P.S. why is the pay $8 now? cmon, im broke dawg!) ;)

Both of your suggestions can't be added now, both for similar reasons.

1) Jagex have no interface editor, which would certainly be needed for that. When the engine team finally get round to making the blasted thing you should ask this question again. (Personally I prefer the Fairy Rings like they are now)
2) Jagex, on top of not having the interface editor, also don't have a map editor or a graphics compiler. GWD is virtually out of the question until all of those have been made by the engine team too.

The reason we don't have those tools, and they're not being made yet, is because the team who have the ability to make them (Engine team) are shared with EoCscape, they have lots of stuff going on with Rs3 amongst other things. Even if these things were ready and able to use, I don't think us as a community are ready to decide on GWD yet anyway. :P

We pay, we say. :)


I love how the players can determine what kind of updates they want :)

I would like to express my full support for new features, quests, items, games and storylines being added to the game, as it was back in 2007. The only thing that made me quit was EOC, and 'Jagex-approved RWT' such as the squeal of fortune.

This game needs updates and it needs all the items necessary for you guys to be able to do your jobs...

Why cant some of the jagex mods from eoc/rs3 take time out for 1-2 weeks and come up with these?

Or are we going to be waiting forever

we need new content their isnt much fun things to do other than pk
