Would you do this?

[Mico]

Would you give up weekly updates for one year so that JAGeX can make a RS3 or greately improve the game si it is: graphically, game engine, security. But the holidays would come, just no weekly update so JAGeX takes some time and fix their game. No more bots, better everything, and in the end: a whole new RuneScape. Would you do it?

[hicky_mouse]

I don't think stopping updates would work. There are too many high levels that are bored with what we have already and need more content, and too many idiots that would complain about the lack of updates. No, Jagex is doing fine, with their monthly graphic and occasional engine updates. It works great the way it is

You missed the point, we don't want to hear how you think other people will react. Would YOU individually be ready to give up a years' updates for a Rs3?

 

 

 

 

 

I would. I've already lived this between the transition of Rs1 to Rs2. I don't like the updates they are making, it's just wind to keep people occupied and paying.

[hicky_mouse]

Thanks for pointing that out. I think that I would continue playing. If it makes the game better, it would be worth it for me.

[shadow2]

if it got updated about one or two times like every 4 months till it was updates then maby yeah

[Walmart44]

I think I would run out of things to do before the year was up, so maybe an update once a month would work, but not for a year, then I would probly quit after 2 months of nothing new to do.

i would not for a yr but for 3-4months prob but i think they have different teams working on rs3 than rs2 updates

[mchainmail]

Yes, I would give up weekly updates. However, I'd hope that Jagex would give monster hunting a bonus. Maybe increase the level of the KBD by 50 levels, and give it more useful drops (like a triple dragon bone (3x the exp as a normal drag bone)). Then change this every month. This shouldn't take much effort, and would keep many players hooked.

[meol]

I'd rather make it so that we have monthly updates instead of weekly ones, and I'd love to see updates that improved already existing game content (revamping the Rat Pits, for example) That way, they can be worked out better, and would keep people interested enough.

[zw2s]

I would give up weekly updates. We must sacrifice before we can get something that we really want, which is a better RuneScape! =D> =D>

[hatebringer]

I would totally give up weekly updates, and when that year was up, they better have made something good that makes me want to play, or else i would quit right there.

 

 

 

BUT... if they skimped the updates every week down to once or twice a month, then came up with huge 6 month or 1 year updates, I would really enjoy that. I really only play Castlewars or level my combat/magic now anyways, never been a big fan of skills.

[Elessar3019]

Yes, definitely. Half the time, I don't even do the new update until 3-4 weeks after it came out. It would give me plenty of time to catch up. Of course, the new graphics would have to be WoW/Neverwinter Nights quality, which may not be possible over a Javascript-based game.

[HellsBells]

In my opinion, the bot problem is the only thing that needs to be taken care of. And some good high level updates. That's pretty much it.

 

 

 

So...yes I would. The bot problem wouldn't take a year though.

I agree. There is plenty to do in RS as it is... I would gladly trade a year of updates (90% of which are pointless) for a better engine that gets rid of that "double-take" bug, that fixes many of the current bugs like tagging (pve and pvp) and that gets rid of the macroers. Graphics don't really make a difference to me. I just want them to fix many of the nuances that severely impact the gameplay. Oh, and also I would want a rewritten combat system so that someone with 74 83 70 80 cannot kill someone who is 90 99 85 93. In other words, make it so that defense and attack have a far greater impact on the outcome of a battle. The RNG system they currently have is infuriating.

[Roberthree]

I already ignore most updates since I'm busy... So yea.

[WookieeMania12]

Nope, I want a few things to do; despite I rarely do the updates until they are a bit quiet.

[Joes_So_Cool]

Sure, then all the new players can play rs3 and get rid of (most of the) noobs.

[m4tty]

if rs3 came out, even if i hated it id probably still play it after awhile - dont want to make the same mistake i made when rs2 came out (stay rsc for years till it dies then be miles behind in rs2 whove played 1/5th aslong as me, "caught up" now though). and i cant say i enjoyed rsc when it got into the macro state which was around 5X worse than the current rs2 macro state.

 

 

 

the catlyst for rs2 to come out WAS macroers btw. so i really do think jagex should start working on an rs3, and this time dont make the mistake of turning the old version into macroland and this time shut it down like 6 months in - if they do make an rs3, i think rs1 should be closed down asoon as work is started on rs3 at the latest.

I think the problem is that there's a demand for gold farmers that has to be crushed. Where there's macros, there are gold buyers. No matter what Jagex does, bots are going to realize that RS3 is a better RS so they'll flog RS3 no matter what :boohoo:

[Lady_Shahdie]

Well since I am not a memb I cannot really contribute to this discussion fully, but if I became a memb (which hopefully will be a reality someday), I would give up the weekly updates for Jagex to work on a grander project. In a way being F2p leaves me in the position of suffering the "boredom" that the above posters mentioned regarding the plight of high level members. I still am able to gain more and more out of my gameplay in new or better ways. I personally would be very interested in the idea of Jagex piloting a RuneScape 3 or major overhauls over such period (if it occurs).

rs1 macroers macroed to play, not to gold farm, 1 big difference. pre-rs2 there was the same amount of macroers to play on rs1 as there is macroers to play on rs2 now, so it really wont suprise me if they start on rs3 soon.

[dutycalls5609]

Yup

[kam42705]

Quite simply, Jagex should go to hell with the weekly updates... That's right, just dump the crappy, weekly, updates because they simply are full of crap! C'mon, who in their right mind wants to have two quests a month that each last around half an hour, that build nothing onto the existing plot and storyline?

 

 

 

Jagex should only occasionally release updates, in terms of maybe biweekly, or even every three weeks, and have each update well thought out, and great in terms of quality. Most of our recent updates have been pathetic, since Jagex continues to release weekly updates, and fails to realize that Quality>Quantity. And until they do so, this game will continue on a downward spiral.

[willyhenriksen]

I'm no longer a member, but if I was I'd gladly lose all my updates for one great one at the end of the year. The problem is that it would probably be a quite high-level quest included and many people would have trouble doing it. (Unless they do it like in RFD)

[go_falcons92]

I'm becoming a member in like a week so I'd definately give up all the updates for one huge update like that.

 

 

 

I'd have tons of stuff to do for a year until they update it. I'd also buy a bunch of logs and stuff cause without bots those things will shoot up in price.

 

Maybe even triple in price.
