Wot Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 WIth mech scape just around the corner i was wondering what runescapes population will be, Will it grow, as mech scape attracts a new audiance and then some people wanting to see what jagex's overgames are like? or will it shrink, with players quitting runescape for mechscape because its "new".

deyan2 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The players will be splitted a bit more and after all the best game will be chosen. So... More players will play Jagex games and who knows less players will play RS. We don't know (execpt for a few screens on www.mechscapeworld.com) what Mechscape will look like so we can't tell you how many persons we expect to play that game rather then RS ;).

JAMjE Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hope the experienced and generally nice players stay, and all the noobs filter over to Mech in a futile attempt to be the new zezima Taking bets on zezima being the first name taken? Taking bets on every single letter name being taken by 1 person ;) null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterknowitall Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hope cheaters/noobs who want to take advantage of the "freshness" of Mechscape will leave RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_mumm_ra Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 i doubt he will, i bet it'll use the same name system as funorb,meaning if you have a runescape/funorb account, you've got a mechscape name as well.

Den Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Im going with what Mumm said. Also, mech will probably attract a new audience, but RS people will move aswell. We will have to wait and see. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Asmodeous4 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'll take a look into Mechscape, I'll continue playing RS though. It all depends on how good Mechscape is, there will be a large influx to start I suppose and many people will leave RS for a bit but some will come back, some will stay. I think we will lose a small amount of players, but again, depends on if Mechscape is any good.

Lady_Shahdie Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I seriously doubt that there will be a mass flock to Mechscape. There are some concepts in RS that are so successful that ultimately are not easily matched or overshadowed by other games. The diehard fans won't be leaving anytime soon thats for sure. As far as a potential new player base, I'm not as sure how this will pan out. Mechscape technically is keeping up with the times, the whole sci-fi thing is often what seems to be successful now adays. However, RuneScape's allure is something truly unique, so we could possibly see a balanced influx of players for both games (with possibly an early lead for Mechscape after its initial release and then evening out with RS over time). ~Retired 13-July-2010~Thanks for the great memories folks :).

Silver_Corner Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 While little is known about MechScape, Jagex did say they would be following the same nickname pattern on Mechscape, as Jagex did to Funorb and Runescape. That being, your account name is already reserved for use on Mechscape, and your friends list all already be loaded there, and you will be able to chat to your friends on your list across games from Funorb, to Runescape and to MechScape. So names already taken on Runescape, and Funorb, will not be available on MechScape. But as for a mass Exodus... Maybe the first week, a large number of people will leave to try it, some may like it, some may not. Runescape will be played less im sure (and not advertised as much) but as far as a noticeable amount of the player base leaving, I dont think things will change all that much.

xxbalthier Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 i would make new names say if theres a item on mechascape like a rare i would make up names after them and take all the good names :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunokiller Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think most players over level 100 will stay. That is good because the decrease of level 107-110 players will take a while. My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chained_life Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Depends on the game, I don't really like Futuristic mmo's, if it's surprisingly fun, I'm sure runescape will see a small decline, but nothing to worry about, they will continue to grow, both games. Mods have said Mechscape is NOT another runescape type of game, so people will stay with runescape for that reason, maybe pay for both games.

Dire_Wolf Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mechscape seems lame, even the name is a copy. Copies are not better than the original. Rune-SCAPE>Mech-SCAPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterknowitall Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mechscape seems lame, even the name is a copy. Copies are not better than the original. Rune-SCAPE>Mech-SCAPE. It could still turn out to be called "Stellar Dawn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omali Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mechscape seems lame, even the name is a copy. Copies are not better than the original. Rune-SCAPE>Mech-SCAPE. Because you've played the game, seen the game, or know anything about the game other than the name and a few tidbits, and can make a complete judgement that the game, much like the surname "scape" will be an exact copy of Runescape. Makes complete sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes complete sense. I know it's about robots and sci-fi stuff. I am not saying the game is all bad, but it does not sound so good. And the name of the game don't give much hope of a good game either... Mech-Scape Rune-Scape Couldn't it atleast stand out a bit in name... Mech-Scape is worst name i have heard ever. The scape is taken from Runescape, so what the hell? Personally i would never like a online game including robots and those sort of things. So i already know: It's not something for me and it sounds lame. Most online adventure games is about bow and arrow, sword and shield, magic and staff... Not a robot gun or a robot.

Goblin512 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mechscape? Riding off of Mechquest's small fanbase or something? Wtf is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent1777 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 It will go up a bunch, then Jagex will release another update that people hate and we will drop lots of players, then repeat the process. Tip.It's Official Undercover Agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 We have never been prevented to play more than one game. I think the people that already play RS will try Mechscape and Play it/Quit RS or Play it and play RS. Also since it's a different kind of game than RS it will obviously attract a new audience that will discover RS and the RS "population" might increase. In any case, I think the RS "population" will increase or there will be minimum changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
