Why is 2006 seen by many to be the best year for RS?
For me I enjoyed it alot because it was alot more healthy.

Birthright of the Dwarves- 2nd October 2013
Taverly was likely chucked in for players to feel involved in (designing the character). Other than that and the giant all of the characters were the same right?

The quest does seem pretty sweet. Lets hope its not all just visually good! or filled with interesting character to make it seem good.

Birthright of the Dwarves- 2nd October 2013
Mod John A wrote the whole of the Dorgeshuun storyline and One Piercing Note among other quests, as far as I know. It's just his first time handling a quest of this size though, and sadly it had to be Dwarf V :( Honestly its probably more about the dev budget then it is about the lead dev on the project. To bang out a GM quest in 3 months feels rushed. Maybe they should of spent this year researching what players wanted in preperation for next year to be officially year of the player

Birthright of the Dwarves- 2nd October 2013
I'll give you this one. The vague quest scripting, unexplored plot points, buggy doors, largely empty boss instance. Yes, this one rare time I am agreeing with you on the shortcomings of jagex. This quest deserved more work... Way more work, They keep trying to prove a point, this time with year of the player. Their ignorance is what will loose them their jobs eventually. If you're to declare a poll to see what people like the most. My advice is don't try and throw in a false statement that gives the very little time. Work on it hard so that its enjoyable. That way the players satisfied to see something they really want.

By thier logic, Botwatch magically wiped out 80% of bots for a week. At an average of each bond being resold at 6m a peice. This means people have bought 240b worth of wealth.

Thats exactly what I said. Just said better :'). I want to know how, and what indicates a RW Trade. Do bots count. Are they concidered seperate people and so on.- Behind the Scenes - October 2013
Im always meh about armour updates since I am not a fan of the EoC.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
Weird thing about Gold Farmers is they'll likely move on, they'll have more bots and more mules. It's the job for them. It's usualy inocent people who kick up a fuss a little but also coporate. I would like to see the actual evidence behind their research. In a court room Jagex would get pimp slapped by the judge if it were just to say 40-50% without backing it up. Never mind the answers they tend to give. Working around the question and answering something else.- Behind the Scenes - October 2013
So maybe they are keeping it a secret until closer to the release? Could be the lumbridge thing, which I cannot see being that amazing. Unless its a real time thing. (imagine shades temple but on a larger scale, i would love that)- Behind the Scenes - October 2013
No halloween event? Didn't Mod Mark hype up the fact theres going to be one since there were no easter.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
How was Bol delayed? all they'd said previously was that it would be ending this week. And, I think the first notice we had about the Dwarf Quest being this week and not last week was because a J mod posted it in the future update forum. I read on the forums its supposed to of been today, now its wednesday. :) BoL was only to last 70 days also It was never 'supposed' to be anything. When it launched on the 22nd of July we were told it was a 10 week event, but we were never given any solid end date. On the basis of the weekly resets midnight 29th Sept made sense, as did some point on the 30th for a more exact 70 days so we naturally assumed the end would be somewhere around this point. The ONLY official information we have EVER been given for bol ending was firstly last weeks BTS video meaning yes it would be this weeks game update and in the past day or 2 in we have been told Wednesday is the aim. Ending later than we assumed does not constitute a delay, a delay is when an update is postponed from when we were officially informed to expect it. Chill, Theres 2 updates mixed in one. The Dwarf was a delay and its obviously set back BoL with it. Wednesday is not a day they prefer to update on. But due to dwarf its likely pushed back to wednesday. Due to resets of weekly activities it were likely to be monday as the end. But again, Jagex has not told us ANYTHING of BoL ending other than when it emerged it would be Wednesday. So it hasn't been delayed at all, unless of course it does not arrive on Wednesday. Relax, Sure they have never announced an official date. But it doesn't mean internaly it wasn't delayed. Im pretty sure they'd of loved to be bang on the dot of 10 weeks. You can I dont know the full facts that happen behind them doors at cambridge. Its speculation. Sure we do not know anything behind closed doors the trouble arises is people call it 'delayed' and then give Jagex crap for it and make a massive drama about how everything is delayed and ruined when it is utterly un-needed and un-founded. When in simple terms it was not delayed as we were never given an exact end date until we were told Wednesday. Part of the update was delayed though. It just happened to clash with BoL. I hardly give anyone crap. You just got cranky about a single word.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds

The trouble with your last little conclusion there: Jagex still gets the £3/$5/€4.25 for the bond regardless of where you got the gold so there is no reduction in value. If no-one buys the bonds for cash no-one can buy them for gp. Added that when I reedited my post - my apologies. Was still thinking through my entire point. Haha. Yes you personal can buy membership cheaper now. But theres going to be someone who needs to be the middle man. LIkely some person who wants to buy gold and is scared to use GoldFamers so they use a bond and do it "Legit" Jagex still gets the cash though. But also do RWTs. Well Yes, that is what I am saying. Somewhere on the line a bond is being purchased from JaGEX, and so JaGEX is getting their money's worth - the fact that you can buy P2P cheaper (more than half the price) from GoldFarmers, as a result of this update, almost seems like JaGEX is HELPING GoldFarmers. Consequently, I would not be very surprised if the prices of Bonds double or triple by the end of October. Thankfully, then the 5$ for a Bond will be much more worth it - and thus discouraging RWT'ing at that point. It opens more of a market for gold famers. I agree, but as for the price. I doubt it will tripple, maybe just bellow double and level off at 10m. At current prices I could get 60-70m for 10 bonds. Or I could us that amount of money getting 180m from gold famers. Either way. They gold farmers got a triple advantage.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds

I like how Jagex can rush to give people paragraphs are bullshit to players on the forums about bonds. But when it comes to a little information about delayed updates (Quest, BoL) its rare and usually on twitter.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
Two of the JMod clones on the Battlefield have outlasted their real life counterparts at Jagex. Just thought you'd like to know :P O lawd, But if Mod Emilee don't come back. Its safe to say the forums will stay in the dark ages. :'( (dramatic I know)- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
RS3 was not that big... Sure we got a new interface system. But apart from that. All it was is battle of lumbridge. Thats just like any old regular content. If HTML5 was ready and both skills were tied in. I would of concidered it decent to market off as RS3. I fully understand the development process As for lore, yeah I agree its gotten stronger. But a quest isn't always for story telling. I feel theres been to much of story telling lately. If you want a story told. You read a book or watch a movie. A quest is where you adventure, explore, fight, and do great things. Not talk to bunch of people and having everything handed too you. Im ok with things such as the recent black knights rework as long as its just to set the foundations for a greater experience. As for rewards. Tell me where I mentioned they suck. I couldn't care less about rewards. I just feel maybe we should quest more as well as having strong dialog. If they worked a WGS level along with the recent lore increases. Quests would actually be great in all aspects that it could be. And its still letting off employees. I didnt make it out to be a big deal. Maybe I shouldn't off used countless. I just couldn't be bothered to count up the figures. I've also explained the profit area. The current profit is used very little on RuneScape. Theres not been a massive increase in developers and strong long lasting content for years. This years infact been one of the worst (in my personal opinion) My point was, if the employees are paid. Then the content comming in should be the same as every other year. This year I've seen much less content and lots of delays. To me that doesn't show they are investing back into the game too much. I've never seen proof of that. As for the corruption. I only said this IF they got bonus' for increasing profit. I never claimed it to be the case. If Mod MMG got an extra 20k a year for boosting revenue. Then its a good chance that maybe hes doing these things to get bonus. It was a theory not a fact.- 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
It depends where the corruption is. If Mod MMG was getting a bigger paycheck each time he were to increase income dramaticaly then he may get the idea "Never mind the game, I want my bonus'" On the other hand, if the additional profits were rolled back into the game, then we'd have to consider the good it does for the game via more resources and a bigger budget. One could argue that funding such investments provides significant benefits to RuneScape's long-term health, easily outweighing the moral cost of allowing some players to trade money for time--which they could already do. People made the same argument for SoF, which has been out for what, 18 months now? And I am yet to see an increase in the quality of updates we have received. I'd say the quality of updates has increased immensely this past year; quest in particular are much richer rather than just cheesy do this do that do the other. A lot of graphics have been seriously ramped out quality wise too. Plus we know from their last financial reports Jagex posted their best profit for a while, but then reinvested all of that profit and a substantial amount more in to the business; so we can categorically say they are not padding their pay cheques they are pumping money in to growing the teams and the studio as a whole. The only quality increase I've seen is graphical and the new audio. Quests have lacked dramaticaly the last few years, mostly just pumped with lore as a filler for lack of quest like activity within then. And theres been very little big expansions. Even RS3 wasn't that big. BoL was nothing major. The fact HTML5 isn't ready kind of ruined the hype. But it was mainly for marketing. Other than all that. I would say the most exciting peice of content i've seen in the recent years were PoP. The profit they make is nothing to do with it. Its what they decide to do with that money thats the problem. As long as it covers their current paychecks. Unless they are paying for voice actors, renting out orchastras, buying tanks... That money is not really needed (productions wise, not profit). And I know alot of ingame characters are in fact voiced by J-Mods so the main expense is their audio on that front. They let go of countless employees. I would say internaly they are lacking a strong game plan and vision concidering all the delays and cuts we have had this year. If I were to be in Mod Marks position. I certainly wont hype a skill 1 year before its even in production. Stuff like that just makes people lack faith. - 25-September-2013 - Runescape Bonds
