This is the reason I made this post.

"Let's explore some ideas: 1. Raise the cost of membership. Part of the appeal of this game is its reasonable cost. For each incremental increase in cost we would lose a percentage of players as they have to weigh the entertainment value of playing versus the cost. I think we'd lose a lot of the ne'er-do-wells pretty quickly (at least in P2P) because these people won't be able to justify their behavior with the cost. Conversely, there is a limit to this because RS has to stay competitive in its marketplace. When the price gets up to where other games are, we'd lose players to those other games from simple economics. " I see no problem with this actually, the average cost for a subscription per month for an mmo is currently $15, seperation of members servers by monthly fee works fine for games like Everquest, simplypay more for not too many more options, but it would keep most grievers away.

I must say that I feel you have misunderstood a couple of my points Sligo. First off, small communities in an mmorpg are different from those of the game you mentioned, whetehr it be a shooting game, sports game etc. In a role playing game your reputation has a direct impact on your ability to buy and sell items, work together with other people, and in Runescape's case, be able to walk through the wilderness without being stalked. The biggest misinterpetation was stating that I feel that developers have tried to make the game worse. I absolutely do not feel this way, I don't think they added a single thing to the game without feeling that it was necessary or would be helpful. I am currently a senior in high school and I will be going to college for game design and development so I obviously hold no grudges against my future peers. I think you may have also gotten the sense that I dislike younger players, I have a little brother and my neighbor's sons play. I am not even old enough to vote, buy alcohol, or cigarettes. I am certainly not "old" either and many of the people on my friends list are around 12-13 and as you said, many are intelligent. I find verging on insulting that you feel I do not enjoy this game. I have played it for all these years because I love it and I have fun while I play, most of the topics I write about Runescape are upbeat and look at the positive aspects but not everything is perfect and not everything has gotten better with time. The main things that I like in life are reading, writing, Runescape, and chess and last night I managed to do three of the four at the same time. I agree, if this game isn't enjoyable than it shouldn't be played, but I certainly feel that it is still a great game.

Hello, I am writing this piece of fine literary nostalgia because I feel that the game has been changing in more ways than an expanding world. I have been playing this game since early 2001 when the game was still in its infancy and I have been noticing some disturbing trends both in game play and the community. I have also noticed that the customer support for the game has spun into disrepair. These factors have all lead to the general decline of the game in my humble opinion. To start off, I am writing this because I wanted to lodge a complaint with the game developers over the random event in which you sort out coffins and receive zombie armor as a result. When I came to the complaint page for the first time, I was astonished to find that there is no place to complain about game mechanics. The link it asks you to follow leads to the forums, but the poor design of the JAGeX forums makes posting a suggestion futile. In order for suggestions to be seen, you would need to bump it once every 37 seconds according to my calculations as of 6/24/06. This competition is caused by immature people assuming their opinions deserve greater attention than others so they constantly post in order to allow their thread to stay at the first page, no matter how inane the subject matter. I decided that writing a thoughtful response just to have it disappear within 37 seconds to be a waste of time for all parties involved, so I decided to lodge a complaint under the category of ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅotherÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
