October 29, 200718 yr Also, if you don't trust Wikipedia's credibility, try this site: http://mechscape.googlepages.com This website is completely unofficial and is in no way affiliated with Jagex Limited. It's only a secondary source. You'll need primary sources before you can be absolutely sure. Frankly, I don't mind this at all, in fact it would be pretty cool even if I don't believe it. But what I don't like is that people are looking for an explanation for what they call a "decline" when there has been no such thing. 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed! (give my guide a read :^_^: )
October 29, 200718 yr Can anybody say Jagex headquarters!! woopa... I don't think this is actually it as the postcodes show a house just a little down the road but i thought might actually be one of their houses (although not likely as Paul / Andrew are both worth $80m a piece i believe) anyway just thought u might wanna see these..

October 29, 200718 yr According to Wikipedia, Mechscape is the working name of Jagex's side project, a space/sci-fi MMO that they've been working on for several years. This actually explains a lot, to be honest. What do you all think about this? I'll tell you what I think: One possible conspiracy theory about why RS has declined over the past couple years is that Jagex realizes the cesspool RS has become, and they realize the amount of work it would require to salvage the game, and they decided it's not worth it. That's why so many of the things that players have begged for have gone unnoticed and unfixed. That's why almost all of the quest storylines are unfinished, the important issues like the defunct Triange have gone unnoticed, and why Customer Support is so crappy. They are still making a killing off RS, so they intend to let it run its course while they start from ground zero on their new game, hopefully fixing the problems that plagued RS. But I honestly don't see how this new game will be any different, I mean.... Jagex is steeped in Java, so the game will likely have the same limitations, and in today's market, it will be extremely hard to get positive publicity with their new game if it keeps similar cartoony graphics to what RS has. Also, once the kiddies hear about the new game, they will infest it and crap in the pool like they did with RS. ALSO, with Jagex's horrid customer service, I just do not see any way their new game will survive. To be honest, by creating this new "side-project" they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. RS could be a brilliant game if they would just invest all their effort in fixing it, instead of starting over. Finally, November is Jagex's last chance to avoid losing one of their longest paying customers. If they don't release anything spectacular in November, come December first, I am unsubscribing. But hell, what do I matter to them? Even if I leave, I will just be replaced by ten whiny noobs who crap their pants and then beg Jagex to do something about it. Oh, and PS: I will probably end up checking out their new game if it has a trial, but there's no way in hell I am subscribing. Jagex has exhausted their credibility with me; the only reason I've put up with their BS for this long is because I've invested over half a decade of my life into their game and I do not fancy starting from scratch in a different MMO. This text makes me almsot cry! No, it caan't beee truuuuuuue! :ohnoes: :pray: 98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!
October 29, 200718 yr @topic starter You speak of the decline in RS as if it's the end of the world? It's not! Just quit! Kick back, get on track, and get on with life. plus you're saving yourself an extra $5 a month

Kick back, get on track, and get on with life. plus you're saving yourself an extra $5 a month It's a good point really.... I have seen you around the forums allot and have never noticed you every saying anything positive about the game or Jagex..... maybe it means it's really time to stop playing? it will happen to most people at one point in their life, you get bored. I think you have to make the decision of do you actually want to play anymore, most people don't see many of these issues you speak of.... it it possible you are making them up of exadurating them to your self to make reasons to leave?
October 29, 200718 yr Rofl MechScape this is soooo old news. I posted about MechScape last year and no one believed me \ [-- DYNAMIC SIGNATURES FOR RUNESCAPE 3 & OLDSCHOOL 2007 RUNESCAPE --]
October 29, 200718 yr When i first heard it (this morning) i thought you was gonna post one of them fake RuneScapes :XD:
October 29, 200718 yr i have to agree, the lack of new skills, all the updates making the game easier to achieve 99. How many maxed out players there are. RS will be gone soon enough, itll fizzle out untill nothing is left. I dont think jagex will intentionally do it, i think they will just put all their attention into this new game. I'm guessing that the new ceo hire is to either take over rune or to run the new game. To those saying im trying to find something wrong with the game, no, its all there. I still enjoy playing, just seems its going this way.

October 29, 200718 yr I would say this game has about 4-5 years left before drop in intrest is noticeable.... but the game could probably be kept for 6-7 years by which time I expect JAgex to have 3 or 4 separate games aimed at separate audiences.
October 29, 200718 yr Let me put it this way. You know the game Adventure Quest? The creators of that have 3 games. Each are successful. Even if Jagex makes MechScape, RuneScape will exist. It might not be as active as it is now, but still active.
October 29, 200718 yr As for the "gold" site names, it may be a spoiler tactic against future abusers, or it may suggest that they could be planning to run the new game as a free game with item buy enhancements, a model common among many of the far east based MMOs. It remains to be seen if any new game leverages "runescript" or has a completely different base. https://jogl-demos.dev.java.net/ - Java CAN do graphics
October 29, 200718 yr Also I can't believe you trust wikipedia so much. Jagex actually own all of these: mechscape.com mechscape2.com mechscape.biz mechscapecoin.com mechscape.es mechscape.biz mechscape.co.uk mechscape[LikelyScam] mechscape.info mechscape.mobi mechscape.net mechscaper.com mechscape.org mechscapecommunity.com mechscapecredit.com mechscapegold.com mechscapeguide.com mechscapehq.com mechscapeinfinite.com mechscape.info mechscapemillions.com mechscapemoderators.com mechscapeproject.com mechscaperealm.com mechscapeshopping.com mechscapetrades.com mechscapetrading.com mechscape.us mechhq.com Look on their whois results if you don't believe me. rofl...you tried all of them? No, http://whois.domaintools.com/ is how you do it. They are also looking for employees here http://www.edge-online.co.uk/archives/2 ... nt_d_1.php and some art done PS: Was going to post these at 7:00AM this morn, but, didn't get the chance. Doing it now.
October 29, 200718 yr It remains to be seen if any new game leverages "runescript" or has a completely different base. Jagex has said they will continue to use their in-house technology in future games, so yes.
October 29, 200718 yr Here's my opinion. This is one of the most worthless, idiotic threads I have seen in a while. Just because a company is working on another game doesn't mean that it's going to abandon it's first one. SOE has, I believe, 14 different MMORPGs, yet many of them are very good. It would be very stupid of Jagex to let go of their original game, the game that has made them millions. RuneScape is not limited by Java, it is limited by the fact that it is a browser game. Java isn't good for graphics, but it is capable of creating graphics that are much better than RuneScape's This is a screenshot from Wurm Online, an MMORPG programmed entirely in Java. Jagex works very hard on RuneScape. Why don't you read this? If you want to quit RuneScape, go ahead. It's your loss. EDIT: I looked up Mechscape on Wikipedia. All I found was a short, unprofessional stub article that claims that Jagex is making a game named MechScape. I also checked on Google. I'm thinking that this new game is just a rumor... Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

The fact is Jagex have a different graphics STYLE the quality of their new work is extreamly good.
October 29, 200718 yr I posted about MechScape last year and no one believed me \ Link? :wink: Pruned (another forum), I knew about this because some guy used to work for Jagex and exploited a load of information and was sacked within 3 weeks of working there, he logged into multiple RuneScape accounts and checked their banks too. There's quite a lot to learn if you have a good enough source for information :thumbsup: [-- DYNAMIC SIGNATURES FOR RUNESCAPE 3 & OLDSCHOOL 2007 RUNESCAPE --]
October 29, 200718 yr They probably mean that Runescape might not be an attractive game in the future, it's theme wouldn't hold. And something of a science-fiction game would do better in the market of online RPGs. I personally don't want to speculate about anything. But if Runescape has so many players, why would it hurt to work on a new project and new game? Fantasy MMORPGs make up about 90% of the market. I agree with you on the second part.

Rofl MechScape this is soooo old news. I posted about MechScape last year and no one believed me \ There's a reason behind that. Personally, I would be upset if Jagex actually is working on a game called MechScape. I would like it if Jagex made a new game, but only if it's fantasy. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
October 29, 200718 yr Your whole argument is based off your idea that runescape's community is declining, but you haven't even backed up that premise. Care to do so?
October 29, 200718 yr Now I'm even more convinced that MechScape is a rumor. Oh so a filed tradedmark by Jagex Ltd, over 20 domains registered to Jagex Ltd, Jagex employees writing about it on their CVs, some peices of concept art leaked, us knowing Jagex have been working on a new game or 2 for a while and it's a rumour? :-k
