MA sucked. No other way to put it. Bounty worlds are weak at best and a total mess at worst. Tracking was a needed and deserving upgrade. Rest was a good update, though wasn't a big one. Was big in the impact sense, not in the size sense. Quests have all been short. Way too short. Soul Wars had an overly basic concept and an unoriginal one at that. 2009 will be considered a low point in Runescape when all is said and done. -edit- Quelmotz, have Jagex ever done anything that you disagreed with or criticized?

They have loads of content for level 60-99s. That stuff is getting old. High level content is still desperately needed.

Not surprised to see that you are once again ranting about Runescape. Well honestly now, another week without even a stupid, little upgrayedd. I don't even have members now and I find this to be absurd. All their promises of the great things that are coming and nothing. I wasn't even ranting. And isn't this a Rants forum so that you can rant about Runescape? I don't think this is the Debate forum as so many others seem to confuse it for. I'll put it like this though. I'll stop ranting when they stop sucking. #-o

For the average player yes. Been playing for 7 years and still no 99s. Still though tons of people who'd love to take their levels up higher.

I'd say limit your questing time to half of your playable time during the day, at a max of 4 hours. I can understnd the frustration of spending hours doing quests, and not having gained many levels against the exp you could've gotten spending that time training a skill.

I usually only talked about it on relevant topics, or unless the thread had gone off topic on that subject. I didn't mention it in every post just to get it in there. Well, not all the time. Sometimes my frustration would boil over a little. Luckily I have a whole week free to come up with ways to complain. Not like I'm busy enjoying an update or anything. :roll:

Personally, I'd prioritize the quest lines like Fairy Tales and Elemental Worshop could get their finishes, that simply need that one last quest to finish. Then the ones that have the most quests in them. Myreque, Plague City, Mahjarrat, and the whole desert expansion quests. Then the little stuff they want to continue, like Rabid Jack and the Dwarves.

[self-congratulation] I'm just seriously glad that the resentment of the "upgrayedd" year has gone mainstream. I've been critical of it for months. I was totally ahead of the curve. Yay me. : [/self-congratulation]

This is going to be very short considering the length of the great debate posts being made. But can we all agree that Jagex is notorious for not admitting fault or their shortcomings? It was much worse in the past, but they still try to put over on people that if something goes wrong, it's the player's fault. They also tend to rewrite history a bit.

Yea... no. It'll be something small. Don't bother getting your hopes up. But on another note it's nice to know it onlly took months for most people to come around to what I was thnking the week after the "upgrayedd" year was announced. And bob, yeah, mostly every week. Problem is half, or maybe a bit more than half, are updates and upgrades to pre-existing content that many of us have done and are done with. Some are good, some are less than stellar. So while we get constant updates, it feels like we're getting next to nothing. It's very hard to keep taking this. I've already let my membership lapse until 2010 at a minimum. I fear though that 4 months of content being built up will be done is about 3 days once I pay up again. Oh wait, I'm complaining. Therefore my opinions are that of a whiner, have no merit, and can be dismissed without further consideration. Sorry, I forget. :oops:

Hey, another week without an update. Apparently the dull and shallow content they've been releasing has them so backed up, they don't have anything for us this week. [sarcasm]Oh, but on Twitter we have another promose of the "great" stuff yet to come. Joy. :P [/sarcasm]

That's not Britney. Far too thin to be Britney. Ouch. Say that to her face and you'll be in for a close shave 8-) I think it's only appropriate to refer to her by her commonly accept nickname. Baldylocks. :thumbsup:

I train skills because then I can do everything by myself, for myself. Don't have to rely on other people.

Xxxgod is better than you when it comes to LOOKING AT INVENTORIES. :P although I neither have no idea why Vaartjes was there. Yeah, my point is why were you that far north. There's nothing to do up there. But on second ook, I notice the ruby necklace I didn't see before. My bad. :oops:

I don't think Jagex is "lazy" or they "don't care." I still think that the QA isn't meeting up to past standards as far as bugs are concerned. Personally, I think the game needs to be stalled for a bit and take it back down to code to rework it. It's far too complex and a giant jumble right now. That would be the biggest upgrade we've ever seen. :P

Makato, I'd like to point something out again. Runescape is special because you can vote with your dollar while not quitting the game. If half a mill people let their subscription lapse, but still play the free game, they'd be accomplishing both.

Why in the world were either of you there in the first place?

Hell, they did on Top Gear in less than a day. \

I don't know if I've told this before, but I met my wife on RS. In the Underground Pass on classic. She was from Brazil and moved in with her sister, on the other side of Tampa Bay, about 2 years later. Nowadays I have a girlfriend that complains about me playing. Oy vey. :wall:

Yeah, but that had sentimental value that made them worth 100k.

You bring up a very good point. They've admitted how much clutter is all mixed up with the RS code. While I don't think they'll close down Runescape alltogether, after MS is released, they might shut it down for a few months, and completely rework it. It could stand it. They just need to make sure they have another sourse of income while they're doing it. Frankly the idea of fixing it as they go along doesn't seem to be working. Aurian, it doesn't blow up. It's more like "total existence failure."

Well if people were rational it just wouldn't be an internet community, now would it ;) As said before, the Mechscape, Runescape and Funorb teams are all indepenedent of eachother. They're all one company. They have many projects going on at once. Even if independent they can have an impact on each other. Not true. The Co-Operative group (uk store chain) is made up on many companies and many societies, we have zero impact on each other. You have seperate buildings, employees, etc. This is one company. If one thing is a failure, it will have an impact on the company and therefore the other interests of the company. Also, when they use the same software and technology, it will have an impact as fixes made on RS will be integrated in the coding of Mechscape. And you know they had to either hire a bunch of new people to do Mechscape, or cut staff from Runescape to put on Mechscape. The point is, Mechscape is a big project. Jagex for a number of years had Runescape as their only interest. As soon as Mechscape comes into it, we see the RS begin to suffer. It's my opinion, it may be a coincidence, but I think they are impacting each other at present.

I apologized, both on this threat and in a PM. What the heck else do you want? -.- Don't really ever read my PMs on forums, so i didn't see it before. What would i want? most people that read this topic are going to read the first post and not bother with anything else, and i am not content what is written in the first post. You could, at the least, edit my reply(s) into the first post or just edit it not to be offencive. You think so? I'd think people would at least read the first page. On long topics that's what I do. Read the first and last page. And maybe they're a bit overstretched trying to simultaneously fix one massive game and create another massive game. We can see what is suffering.

If they had several updates released every month, but did them all at once, that would be great. Then people wouldn't be all bunched up at once place. And maybe we could avoid some of this crap. Not gonna happen, but not a bad idea either.
