God Of Lego

If they were to reach out, they should reach out to youtubes who dont already focus on RS. Simply because then they have chance to reach the youtubers subscriber base that doesn't already know about RuneScape.

I would love for them to have just made tutorial island a bit more modern, It was simple and clean cut. What ever you liked the most was what you were most likely going to seek out (I loved mining and smithing when I started back in the day)

Ahhh Jagex.

I've always seen the bots arguement as way overhyped (still a problem, just overhyped). Just a personal opinion. Its just an easy excuse.

It would of also helped if they did not hype the 2 skills a year before but yet only start developing divination in Feb. At that point all they knew was herp de derp 2 skills yolo.

So.....Somethings telling me you've got Mark issues? Yes, you could say I dont like him. I admire the passion, thats all I like about him. Hes way too disconnected with the players and when he said trolling in the divination video a shiver went down my spine. I dont know how that guy smiles so much and acts happy. Its creepy This comment further support what OrTradeMe is saying. Most of what you are saying as facts is heavily bias. And I think you know this... Also, I know EOC was a big update that had everyone flip [cabbage] and it is still very much incomplete...but why are we debating if EOC was the reason for the declines again, when not too many pages back, we established EOC was one of the many updates the has lead to the decline of the RS population. I thought we moved on to the point of discussing how the game can be improved. And no I'm not talking "Get rid of EOC" or "Fire Mod Mark" or "I don't think it can." I dont know how it was brought up. I likely responded to someone.

I wonder if they will have a real squeal of fortune to spin.

Shame about the no update week gap though... At least GTA V is out next tuesday. So in reality. Who gives a damn.

Figures: Active Players Drop and Player Online Drop Membership Drop 1/3 to 1/4 Being OSRS - ALL decreasing, Thats a bad thing. Speed up by EoC (key word, speed) As for the comment about it being implimented badly, yeah I agree. But they should of changed the core of the system as well as tweaks. Maybe it would be more welcomed then due to the fact players actually built it. Also, if you call ruining, PVP based mini games and PVP its self, destroying players hard work on pures and special accounts, Degrading all weapons and armours unique abilities and reasons of use. Putting most quest rewards useless. And choosing to impliment a system where the best method is use the weakness and spam keys a good choice then if you ever have a game company, hire Mark. - The bots are also a key figure depending how you decide to look at it. The fact people dont even care for botting anymore shows the decline in market for the game. EoC only threw off bots tempory due to the nature of the update.

I don't really thing you can say EOC was a wrong move with such certainty as it's entirely based on opinion whether or not you like it. I personally had been calling on Jagex to revamp combat for years so I welcomed EOC. Many people wanted to take combat back to "the old days" so they disliked it. The only ones qualified to say whether EOC was positive or negative would be Jagex, basing their judgement on their own internal data of players coming in, leaving, etc. We simply do not have the means to determine just how much of the decline in the past year has been due to EOC related quitters. It was wrong because it speed up the decline by years. It was wrong because mass people were against it. EoC does not benifit RuneScapes growth. I also welcomed a revamp. But I did not welcome EoC. It was not for RuneScape. As a consumer, I have the right to say whether >I< felt its wrong. Just like if you felt its right. Evidence and figures point towards wrong

I'm curious why you think that. He is the lead developer of one of the most known 'classic' MMOs out there. Sure, some of the updates he has engineered has caused some animosity among older players, but he has done a lot to keep the game a thriving business. Yes, membership numbers are down, but as has been said many times throughout this thread, that's because of a huge host of interconnected reasons and any employer looking even a tiny bit beyond the simple "lost 50% of members over 6 years" will see that the vast majority is not the fault of Marks leadership and rather inevitable decline based on the aforementioned reasons. It may very well be the case that it wasn't Mod Mark's fault and that there is nothing he could have done to prevent this decline; however, this is by no means an obvious point. You need to provide some evidence to support this conclusion. A lot of people were very upset over EoC, many quit the game over it, and many jumped on the Old School bandwagon because of it. Those are certainly things that were directly under his control that have caused much disappointment. Decline was going to happen anyway, but the things Mod Mark lead and did caused it to speed up dramaticly [citation needed], it damaged company faith, he was trying to hard to prove a point he lost mass members and caused disapointment amoungst millions of members. All while it was clearly in his face that it was not the right thing to do. If I were to hire someone for lead developer, It would not be Mod Mark. ftfy you're blaming EoC being rushed and poorly designed on Mod Mark, rather then a rushed release and unwillingness to start again from scratch, which was more likely MMG's decision. Where did I say its based on a rush? Mod Marks problem was he couldn't even admit to himself EoC was a wrong move. He likely pushed a rush as much as MMG did to try be a big man. I doubt MMG has a say in how things are designed as its not his role to develop the actual game. So the unwillingness would either be Mod Mark or in some cases Mod MMG being tight with budgets.

The guy is ignorant, he lets his ideas get the best of him. Even when mass players dislike something he sticks to it. Loosing alot of members due to silly things like that is idiotic as a developer. He builds the game for him, not the consumer. He is out of touch. I love his passion but I hate his way of going about it.

You likely dont hear because the new players stop playing and they experience FTP not members areas. Thats if they stay or not.

RIP Mod Marks gaming career post Jagex.

GM is just a title that is thrown around these days.

I want Mod Mark replaced. I dont like his game plan. But thats just me. (and probably a good few others)

Not to mention it was about [bleep]ing time.

2 Updates this month again. Hot damn. 2013 really shaping up uhh.. I dont really count the dwarf graphics due to the fact it was ment to come with the last dwarf quest and it is part of the new dwarf quest. BOL was already there. It'll likely just be a cutscene.

They have seem to work backwards. We should have more value for higher amount of loyalty points spent at once. Meaning bigger the price of Runecoin more our loyalty points should be worth towards it. Its kind of when you buy a bigger bottle of coke. A can costs 60p. but a large 2 litter costs £1.80. you get much more coke than you would buying 3 cans.

I thought the 130k price was pretty decent. But now its over 200k. Thats plain sick on Jagex's half. Expecially with their advertising of 130k.

In a year we will get the crown of spins. If you've bought 100+ spins you can have the crown. It gives you 1 spin a day more and gives you an emote that turns you into a giant spinning wheel. Not only that its an animated crown that constantly spins on your head.

AHHAHAHHAHAHAH I would rather take the 2 years membership money and buy a P-Hat. (not that I would do that. Its not worth the pixels. But in comparison)
