Probably still gets more new members than Runescape.

Court Cases are "story rich?"

The problem is that there was too much in 2015 in games and they have brought too little.

True, Ripper Demons really should have a bit more reason to be there or a better place to be. Hell, they could at least tie in the Abbey having been built to keep a breeding pit of Rippers on lockdown through Saradomin's power or something. Then the death at the Abbey tainted the magic and they've successfully broken it and you have to keep them in check. ... Or something.

Did you expect something worthwhile? Tut tut.

I started playing at 17 and am now 30. And i feel like I've moved on sadly.

It is older because the player base, from back in the old days when this game attracted new players, have all grown up. Even the 10 year olds from 07 should be out of high school now.

Can we please kill RNGesus once and for all? I'm sure we could find some wood and nails around here somewhere.

Umm,Ambler didn't really seem to say much of anything. Only bit of information was she lives in Cambridge and has one real life friend she could stay with. :p And maybe a decent fix would be to stop chronically releasing temporary content and go back to you know, making good content?

They just seem to have lost the knack for getting bang for their buck as it relates to development time and content playability. Hence, grind to artificially inflate time.

Well Jagex's policy has always been to create new lore before finishing old lore.

History and community? So we're basically The Village from M. Night Shamalyndango.

I am pretty sure that has been said for 12-13 years now, and the game is still going - with existing and incoming players.(Of course, at some point someone will be right when they "foresee" the doomsday of RS.) Decline doesn't necessarily mean they think the game is on Death's doorstep. I'm sure RuneScape will keep going for a few years yet, but there's no denying the player base and content quality has declined sharply. Hey, somebody got it in one for a change. :D But yes, a shrinking player base, a decline in quality of updates, and a massive change in company philosophy/policy over the years are all indicative of this.

Just wait... they can update it next week to properly "balance" it.

That and the current state of the game is clearly of one in decline.

We already pay to access content - it's called membership. But that's what will make this "special" and "premium."

So then clearly the next step is actual content you'll have to pay for and not merely cosmetics. 7 dollars to gain access to Menaphos everyone.

They have so far... Yup and currently seems they will continue to do so for sometime. Joys of microtransaction culture right? How long until the membership packages become season passes?

If you can change your appearance would you stay looking like a Ginger?

They weren't really glitches, it was just harder for the player base than they'd expected so they changed it. If they're playing it and its working perfectly for them then I don't see why they'd nerf it before they get player feedback. Because they should be running these things with sub-optimum specs. I know they used to. Who honestly played it through and thought the timing was balanced? It's bad enough that games all need a day 1 patch does Runescape need one too for every update?

All things that should've been caught in QA honestly.

And i think they have devalued quests immensely because to them the resources needed to make a one of for a character isn't worth it. Hence, recycling old graphics, mechanics, and the new "this thing is going to make me crack open a tequila" bottle quest.

I wish someone from QA would buy a crappy little computer from the store, have to login to the server to test an update using an outside internet connection, and play it for real before release.

I still reject Mazcab on principle.

Agreed. Sadly they went combat heavy and that might have been okay if not for the clunky tick system. The whole thing is depressing.
