hbk_hossack Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Dear Mods, i know i already posted this, but it was locked because i als said goodbye in the thread. So now this is only my thoughts. Although slightly updated. Where Runescapes going I think it's heading in a bad direction. Now, I'm going to compare Jagex right now to World Wrestling Entertainment. I have been an avid fan of the WWE since a young age, but like Jagex, it's moving away from it's longtime fans, or players in Jagex's case, to a younger demographic. For a good example of this, just look at Hotnswoggle. For you non-wrestling fans, he is a LEPRACHAUN (seriously Vince) who is Vicne McMahons, the owner of the WWE's, bastard son. Lately, Vince has been putting Hornswoggle in matches with regular sized wrestlers (hes a dwarf) like last week, Carlito. On the most recent Raw episode, Mr McMahon asked Hornswoggle to get him an ice-cream sandwich. And Hornswoggle wandered around the arena, until he found a door with a sign saying "Free Ice-Cream Sandwiches". He walked in and Carlito was there. Then, here is the ridiculous part. To escape Carlito, Hornswoggle picks up a spray paint can and sprays a black door on the wall. He then runs around Carlito, making a vroom sound and "jumps through the door". Carlito tries and hits the wall. This is sad for the WWe. I think this is what Jagex is slowly becoming. They are turning there game away from the hardcore fans to the "Miniclip generation". Then we get to summoning. I am pretty upset they revealed what the "big" update was so quickly. They should've stayedwith what they were doing and releasing little clues. And a new skill as the HUGE update? I don't classify skills as a HUGE update, i could be wrong, but still, a new skill isnt that big. Please, Jagex stop what you're doin and hwere ur goin. Runescape I still think Runescape is a great game, but the updates aren't what they used to be IMO. When i first started Runescape, I was excited about every update, because pretty much all were great. Now, Jagex has decided to get real tough on cheaters. The 3k stake limit is a real awful example of this. 3k? A cap on staking, not so bad. But 3K! I'm not an avid staker, but 3k every 15 minutes is ridiculous. They are losing more customers than they are eliminating RWT. And the Grand Exchange, an ok idea turned awful. I said in one of my posts how the Grand Exchanged wouldn't ruin merchanting, and it has. Not ruined it, but Jagex has now completely done a swerve on where everyone thought the Grand Exchange was going. Stopping the players from putting up items from 5% above or below the "Market Price". This was a really bad idea IMO. Players would've been able to benefit much more greatly from the GE much more if this limit was not there. Now with all the talk of Jagex delting the player trade option completely, i am disgusted. Runescape was a community, now it is moving further away from that. Jagex, i hope you see the error of your ways and return to the old days. Also, Runescape is becoming less and less original IMO. When i started I'd never played a game like it. But now it's just gettin things I've seen in other games before. Not saying this is all that bad, but i liked it when i could only do certain things on RS. Jagex Jagex, i have one thing to say to you. Listen to the veterans, the Tip.Iters, the well-thought ideas and the brilliarn plans. Turn your game back towards the 13+ age group it is intended for. Lots of players have great ideas, take a look. 38% of Tip.Iters put stupid made up statistics in their sigs. If you are one of the 62% that don't, put this in your sig.

Irool Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Unless you had a pure staker or were a huge merchant, the game is 99.9% the same. almost everyone leaving is doing so from a a moral standpoint and hurting only themselves Besides, jagex' vision isn't to have a game with 3k max stakes...in a perfect world players could be trusted to not abuse a dueling system that has no cap. It was only done to prevent real world trading 100 Combat91 Strength70 Defense82 Attack85 Magic =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123neopet Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Runescape I still think Runescape is a great game, but the updates aren't what they used to be IMO. When i first started Runescape, I was excited about every update, because pretty much all were great. The updates aren't gettin' less exciting, you're just getting older. Having been around since RSC (Playing occasionally) I can fairly safely say that some of the more recent updates are much more interesting than some of the older ones. You can go dig through archives if you don't believe me. P2P forever!... Or at least 'til <insert excuse here> happens98% of people have signatures with made up statistics in them. If you're one of the 2% that doesn't, copy this and add it to your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aafftteerr Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Unless you had a pure staker or were a huge merchant, the game is 99.9% the same. I disagree. The price caps on the G.E. are lowering prices because people see the low 5% and sell them quick at the price. I grow herbs and collect them, and everyday I see the prices drop. Currently (example), ranarr is at a MAX price of 7052 at the G.E. Soon, it will fall below 7k, making me unable to even sell it at 7k, a price were its been consistent, if not higher, for a long time. I've seen almost every other herb fall too, lowering profits. So no, the game isn't 99.9% the same. I'm sure other prices have fallen too every day since the G.E., though I haven't been on top of the other items as much.

aznmidget448 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Runescape was a community, now it is moving further away from that. Jagex, i hope you see the error of your ways and return to the old days. I disagree. Runescape was a community and is currently a community. The difference, however, is that it used to be a smaller, friendly community. I personally think Jagex is moving back to that community by ridding the game of, essentially, cheaters. I know that they disappointed many of their players, however, this is one of the steps Jagex is willing to take in order to revert it back into its once friendly community. I personally think Jagex is moving in a positive direction and the futures of Runescape will be much better than it is now, and more populated than it used to be.
