The clan rewrite isn't adding new plots or tiers, its just rewriting the code so its less spahgetti and allowing small updates that aren't currently possible. So i wouldn't get your hopes up.

I have a younger brother who's into coding, I know how hard it is, but are you flipping kidding me, that's all they are doing?

It seems evident to me that some shareholder or whoever calls the shots really doesn’t care about us. Apparently useless updates that make the game more generic and tick everybody I know off such as potentially creating mounts for 2017 are more popular…Yeah….

The killer thing here is while it would take some man (and woman) power; and China might have to suffer a brief lack of income due to resources being taken away from developing bonuses for Treasure Hunter, this game is still unique and totally playable and enjoyable, and with just a few fixes, could be even more so 3x over. Believe me I have looked at other MMO’s, studied them, they are great, but I find myself missing RS, there really is just something special about this game.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the people who produce this game. Instead of focusing on what WOW or other MMO's are doing or have done for years already, why not focus time on what you could do to attract people based on the reasons people play MMO's. It's not for mounts that they play, nor do they play to be nickeled and dimed in pay-2-win scenarios, most play because they like doing things with other people, for community and things to do.

RS has tons of things to do, but this game is completely, utterly, entirely, ABOMINABLE communally.

the community is great, don't forget you and I are part of the community as well ;)

and the reason behind not updating clans (huge updates) is because of the less demand.
I don't see "veterans" coming back because we can give a recruit avatar....
Bounty hunter on the other hand has loads of more potential (and more demand).

Besides I'm not a programmer but adding some small buttons to make our jobs easier isn't really that difficult to me

My bad, I didn't mean it like that LOL :P , I just meant community such as updates revolving around Chat/Clans and so forth.

I'm just a bit angry at what updates they usually prioritize. A new skill or quest for example in my opinion, at this point, I don't see how they could be more important then something like this.

I don't really care about the rewrite, the clan chat is just a communication tool for us, nothing more. The biggest problem my clan faces is the lack of interest of our members in RuneScape, which has been an issue since EoC. A big part switched to OSRS, but a part sticked to RS3 as they don't have time to train up from scratch. I'd rather see some quality combat and PvP updates so we can all play the same game again.

It's not the adding parts that's the problem, I think Maz has mostly done that stuff.
It's testing it that takes the massive amounts of time. Things like making sure that when that button is pressed to change a rank for example, all the other 12 ranks don't all get reset, or change or get kicked from the clan!
By changing the permissions it's essentially changing the way in which all the previous stuff caused consequences as well as all the new functionality. This is why permissions rewrite is such a huge job.

I'm all for it though. However in the poll, it is called clan updates which means more than just the permission rewrite, this is to make it feel like the content has wider appeal and I guess more visible features to show people that Jagex have worked on it. My problem with adding more features if Clans option gets through would be feature creep. The important bit is the permission rewrite, if too much is spent elsewhere then maybe there will not be all that much new functionality to rewrite. But I can see why it's included. Hopefully extra content is based around things which can be added without too much QA resource spent on it.
Ho Ho Ho!
