What would happen if Jagex *really* let the game go?

[Bloodredsword]

This doesn't really have anything to do with the recent updates(although they made me get this idea topic), so please don't lock this.

 

 

 

What would happen to Runscape if Jagex simply "let go?"

 

 

 

Deleted all the censors, allowed RWT, didn't ban people for scaming.

 

Pretend they still updated.

 

 

 

 

 

What would happen? This is simply speculation, I personally think the game would be pure chaos for a while, but would eventually even it self out.(God knows how..."society's" tend do do that by themselves though.

 

 

 

 

 

Speculate.

The same as what's happened for the last 5 years, nothing.....

 

 

 

All MMORPGs have RWT, all games have bots, all games gold sellers.

 

 

 

Jagex will kill the game before they let gold sellers etc get away with making real money for virtual items.

 

 

 

This is where Jagex are making a HUGE mistake, Warcraft is the biggest game in the world, it has gold sellers it has bots, it has spammers, but the game won't change because of it, they bring in some small updates to make it a little harder but thats it. Runescape is changing and I know this update will kill the game. Cheating is going to happen, just ban a few thousand every few months, keep the masses happy and move along but don't change the fundemental part of the game just because a few people buy RS gold. If 9 million wow players can live with it, I am sure a few thousand RS players can.

 

 

 

If the economy was being effected and items were costing next to nothing then we might have a problem, but nothing was going wrong with Runescape apart from a few hundred people buying gold, and Jegex didn't like others making money from their game, so this is what happens..

there just starting to grab it.....its been let go since it started, guess they actually got some consultants they actually paid lol since the old 1 prolly didnt get paid enuff therefor they didnt do there job!

I am going to give a prediction here, i noticed a trainee moderator on TIP say Jagex must be wanting people to play a new game.

 

 

 

This is all about that, I think once Jagex states they are releasing a new game people are going to want to sell all their stuff ASAP, how many people still played RSC after they released RS2, I imagine they know what the takeup of new game VS continue to play is and have to make some way to stop people selling there stuff for real world money.

 

 

 

Jagex has somthing up it's sleeve and it's going to be big, summoning is just a smoke screen, compare summoning to removing PKING/D'arena/drop partys it doesn't make sense.

 

 

 

If Jagex released a new game but never curbed GOLD selling then everyone would sell all their RS gold and items and profit from Jagex, they have thought of this "upfront" and put measures in place to stop "the few" rich players in RS making tons of cash in the short term.

 

 

 

Expect a new game in the next few weeks.
