runevirage Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We usually get a medium-large update (e.g. quest, minigame or skill-related) about once every 2 weeks. However, it's been 4 weeks since we've had such an update. Soul Wars come out Feb. 10. By next week, it'll be 5. I don't think RS has ever had such an update drought before. I realize they're working on quest 150, mobilizing armies, and possibly a new skill, but don't you think they should be giving out some details on their current developments?

No. Ill be excited when new update comes because i had no idea it was coming.

SwreeTak Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 How can you play RS with that little patient? Jagex have told us that there will be more updates, but they will take time. Trust me, they're indeed working hard. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauke Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 So a short while without an update means Jagex would be hardly working? You know nothing of what they're doing, and secondly, it would be awkward to hire all those employees and let them do nothing all day. And yes, it's been explained before why.

Chained_life Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well, the updates this year have been rather poor, getting rid of BTS (because they aren't able to keep up with what they say they're going to come out with). I'm not sure if I want to call it laziness... They probably have some of the rs jagex people working with the mechscape people. I don't believe jagex when they say they have a completely separate team and no one from runescape is working on mechscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you should watch their hiring board, they have tons of new people working on Mechscape. At any rate, 2 weeks with less updates is a joke. Compare this to a few years ago, when we were grateful for medium size updates once a month.

stormveritas Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 How dare you questions JAGEX!!!! What a difference a year makes. Last year anyone defending them was cast down like outcasts. This year, we're in March, they've been delivering nothing since the new year, and people are more defensive than Chris Brown in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheefoo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 They're working on the 150th quest, and Mobilising Armies. They said they had some technical issues with those two. The longer they take, the more sure it is that it will be a great update.

Sir_Kurity Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Maybe they realized releasing half done updates was a bad thing, and would rather polish it up before throwing it at us. Look at most of the recent, big updates, filled with bugs. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
