Dorgesh-Kaan, Empty No Longer?

[Recksash]

Jagex has promised in this year of updates to revitalize older areas. I feel that they have made an excellent start. The area of Dorgesh-Kaan was one of the largest and most detailed areas in Runescape, but no one was ever there! With the addition of a training area and an agility arena as well as adding a faerie teleport, Jagex has breathed new life into this once abandoned city. The city may not be as crowded as it was at the start of the quest, but I feel that after this update, there will be noticeably increased activity in this city.

 

 

 

What are your thoughts?

There is still not enough of stuff to do there..

 

 

 

 

 

So, no. Unless you can buy tele orbs for cash instead of glass..

[Ravenkana]

Unfortunately, the training area/agility arena can easily, and freely, be accessed through the fairy ring system.

[mario_sunny]

Well if you think about it people don't generally use cities that much (perhaps with the exception of Varrock, GE). Most cities are composed of shops, but players can easily buy an tradable item they want in the GE.

[acenator]

I doubt it. There really isn't much to do in the actual city and anyone planning on using the new Bandos Throne Room will probably just make a bunch of tele-orbs to get there.

 

 

 

Give it a week or two and the city will be deserted again.

Exactly.

[dannyb103]

Questers probably. There are probably also a lot of people doing Land of Goblins etc because they hear that those granite maces sell for 100k+. :?

 

 

 

Those who think that storyline was useless, etc.

[Enipeus]

once abandoned always abandoned y'kno :idea: maybe if they added a bank :P

That^.

 

 

 

No city has a use really apart from having 'x' close to the bank and teleport. Dorgushkaan has a bank, but its miles from a teleport and any useful skill places, so its deserted. If you added an anvil, or a furnace, or something like a 'good' teleport into the city, it would immediately become busy.

That's just you. Empty places annoy me.

[Aneron]

not so much.

 

 

 

quests are one-time, and the only new permanent content is not in dorgesh-kaan. it's also not very good lol. the agility arena was nerfed and the mace is lame.

I love empty places, but that is because I hate other people.

[warren211]

Dorgesh-Kaan was a newer area compared to some completely unused areas like Nardah or places where the only use is a skilling resource like Port Phasmytus, Tirranwyn, etc. I think Jagex should have added to those places first before addind to an already new city.

[Erichermit]

Port Phasmatys is fine. People use the furnace there frequently and there are a decent amount of people who use the ectofuntus.

[Ryxorz]

The game doesn't offer enough in cities. Most of the places that are used most are far from any good city that holds people.

[Drazhor]

I woudl say that it still is quite empty; isn't really enuogh to do there; though ouy may see the odd few people getting the teleorbs as said before.

 

One place I woudl like to see updated DRAMATICLY:

 

Keldagrimin

 

 

 

It's been here for so long and it is empty everytime I've been there! Jagex needs to fail less like myself 8-)

[lordkafei]

I don't understand this viewpoint that every new city has to be as useful as Falador or Varrock or else it's a failure.

 

 

 

The same people who harp about empty cities and quest areas will all still congregate in the GE burning logs, trying to "barrow SGSs" and just generally loitering.

 

 

 

You don't like empty areas? Go loiter in one. Take your friends. Start a trend.

[Calzer101]

Maybe, maybe not but there has been a fair rise of people popping in and out. But it will never be as popular as other places as you cant buy the tele's.

[strilmus]

Perhaps this is being silly, but I think people want a place that just provides easy access to stuff they want. Dorgesh-kaan. Pretty, right? But hard to move around in, plus all the stuff you could want to use is tucked away in the corners far from the bank (there IS a furnace and anvil and cooking range and sandpit and water source, it's just really, really far from the bank). No teles except the fairy ring, and even then, all access types require that you carry a light source in order to get in. Nobody cares.

 

 

 

Rogue's den. Hole. In the ground. Not much architecture or furniture outside of the training course and wall safes, just a bunch of dust and rocks, but there's a cooking fire next to the bank, plus Burthrope is a tele away with whatever thing you use to tele to the warrior's guild. EVERYBODY LIKES IT.

 

 

 

Aside from my exaggerations and sarcasm, would you prefer it if they made the infrastructure more practical over more pretty?

[The Dark Lord]

No teles except the fairy ring

 

 

 

 

Telesphere?

[strilmus]

Lol. Forgots?

 

 

 

Still, why would I go there on a regular basis?

definitely more practical
