sliceopie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've been watching a few old PK vids on youtube and i've noticed that in the comments there are lots of comments attempting to plan riots to attempt to get the wilderness back and to get rid of the trade limit. I don't know about you guys but I really can't see them bringing it back even if they do form a successful "riot". Personally I'd rather spend my time skilling or questing. Thoughts and feelings?

tintin113 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You say, even if they do a successful riot. Riots are people who get together because their views aren't being listened to verbally, and so decide to make a physical stand for their cause, hopefully pressuring the government to buckle to stop violence spreading. In Runescape, you can't riot, because all you do is perhaps cause a bit more lag in one part of the World in Runescape. The number of people in any world at any time is limited to 2000, so it's not even like they could try to lag out a whole world. There is nothing to be acheived by their so-called rioting, and many people have been muted for "rioting" in Runescape. They should either shut up and play the game or quit, but spending their time rioting is an utter waste, and only goes to prove their ignorance to how Runescape works, and thus, probably, their ignorance to why the Wilderness was removed in the first place.

darkblade986 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've used this example several times, and I'll say it again. Riots will not work because Runescape is a dictatorship. Jagex makes updates and tells us what to do, and we are required to follow them or get out. All riots do is basically set yourself up as targets for metaphorical snipers at the top of Jagex Towers waiting to shoot you and force you to get out. Also, it'd be impossible for a riot to truly effectively cause an impact because Jagex has been adding servers so that it will be nearly impossible for most of the servers to be full at one time. The only way to really fill up the servers would be by having every Runescape player (yes, every) attempt to log in at a specific time regardless of what time it is locally for them. Even if they did, this could only serve to help Jagex by making it seem that their game is so popular that they have hundreds of thousands of players playing at all hours of the day. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of this topic. Riots are long in the past, and no one really cares about them anyway. In the forum of general discussion something is being discussed, the point in the topic is for everyones views to be shared on rioting and although i don't approve of them, neither do most people obviously some people do. People are attempting to plan them, december the 10th being the most likely time so they're likely to be in the future. All said its likely to be a load of pures and low levels who think its fun and don't understand they're achieving nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they did, this could only serve to help Jagex by making it seem that their game is so popular that they have hundreds of thousands of players playing at all hours of the day. I expect Jagex used the same rule when it comes to servers as when people safety test rollercoasters: Make sure that the server can handle double the load of what it would ever need to carry. Because there's a 2000 player limit, it's impossible for players to crash a server. I bet the world 1 and 2 servers could handle 5000 players, considering that they are regularly full, but it will never need to. The only way to actually crash a Jagex server would be to physically damage it, and nobody outside of Jagex knows where they are located. To sum it up: Ignore the riots, they have no purpose. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: I don't really see the point of riots. They don't achieve anything except a mute/ban and the fact that Jagex won't respect you anymore.

Nenga Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It wont work. Though I like to watch the riots, I think they're funny. After an system crash is a guaranteed riot, so I always go to fally. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Jagex stated that they won't change it back even if more 50% of their members quit. But whatever their limit would be, it would take more than 50% of the members, therefore, to organise an actually successful riot... that means several hundred thousand, which wouldn't fit onto all the worlds assuming 2000 people limits. I could see how a successful riot could be - I'd imagine something like blocking a certain spot or two for something 24/7, for example mining all the rune rocks all the time on every world, rap!ng BH even more than it already is, or something of the sort (the point being to block other players' enjoyment which Jagex has to step against) - but oh please, nobody actually believes this could happen? And most likely, even if it happened, Jagex would just ban a few to set an example and the riot would disperse. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Riots (Runescape): Hundreds of people getting together and whining like babies, hoping to get their way. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, or if I'm generalizing. There really is no way that calling hundreds of people to spam could be mature in any way, nor is it a way of getting what you want. The fact that people advertise on Youtube confirms it, I think... I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why wilderness, treason Should ever be forgot... >_> That's all I could think of. But yeah, I hope there's not rioting. =/ If done for the right reason it's a good thing.

Duke_Kaleb Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nothing is solved by these 'riots'. If you want to get something changed, post constructive-criticism on the RSOF Rants section, or better yet post alternatives in the Suggestions forums. Believe me, Jagex doesn't really like riots... and more often then not it just turns into a huge rule breaking fest that just ends up getting people reported, muted, or sometimes banned and they just get more upset. Jagex WILL listen to you...you just need to do it in the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
