August 5, 200916 yr Author No. your soloscape idea sucks. Being social is part of an MMORPG, remove the socialising, you might as well have some generic console based game. Not a good idea at all. EDIT: I just read your other posts. You say runescape is too easy and other people have an advantage? YOU HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE AS WELL, ITS UP TO YOU IF YOU USE IT OR NOT. How is being social a part of a MMOG? Runescape is not a MMORPG, because if it were you would always have to be playing a Role. In a true MMORPG you would not have the option to play all the categories, you would have to choose your role at the beginning of the game and be limited to it. Not to mention that all your chat would have to be in character. The solo part is simply doing your own work. The chat is still there, you just wouldn't be able to team up to try and gain an advantage. Nor would you be able to run your levels up easily by playing some mini-game. No if it were up to me then I would have a choice of being able to do something by myself or with others if I chose to do so. The team stuff does not have that option. Ex: Sure I could try and spy on penguins to get the free points by myself, but that really is not feasible for most of them due to the fact that the clues are not specific enough for it. It is completely skewed towards giving those that team up an advantage. Ex2: I can not fish Manta Rays or Sea Turtles unless I team up with others, there is not even a choice.
August 5, 200916 yr Author Its a unnecessary idea and a waste of Jagex's time. You can do all/most of those changes in the normal RuneScape, just that you CAN trade/etc, but you are not FORCED to trade/etc. So honestly, there's no point in wasting Jagex's time. Yes you can do a lot of what I posted in the current version, that is true. But the current version sucks. It is way too easy. It also gives too much of an unfair advantage to teams and clans. This is a version for the single player that wants to look at the high scores and see how they are honestly doing against others that actually earn their levels as well. Instead of doing their own work and losing places every day because thousands of people just buy their levels. They buy their levels because making money in the game is too easy especially for those in a clan or that team up with others. Jagex wastes their own time on ignorant garbage like the in game music, or the constant pointless and usually moronic changing of the interface. Personally I don't really care if they come out with this version or not. I am just pointing out that it is what I would like to play. This crap that they have now is ridiculous. I used to play for over 70 hours a week. The last two weeks I have played for a total of about 15 hours and that just because I really didn't have anything else to do. I actually wish that I had not just recently payed for 3 more months. Imo, that is just sad. What the hell are you doing with your life if all you do is play Runescape? Hopefully this 'small' 15 hour week has shown you that there is more to life than Runescape. Runescape is a game, not a life goal to get all 99's. Wastes time on music? Well I am soooooo very sorry that some people might actually like it... BTW, I am still struggling to see the crap? I am betting you that if this was a forced game change, over 4/5 of the community would quit. Really runescape is a game, wow what clued you in on that? I could care less what you think of the time I spend playing runescape. I would much rather be online playing video games than in a bar playing moronic, pathetic, pea-brained head games. Did you say that same thing to a player like Zezima who is retired and played all day? Do you know anything about my situation or me? All music is crap. I did not suggest that this be a change to the current version. I suggested that this be available as a separate version for those that would want it. And by your own estimate that would be more people than what are involved in PvP and Jagex doesn't seem to worry about forcing people to switch home worlds to accomodate the PvPers. The PvPers don't seem to mind doing it either.
August 5, 200916 yr Author Runescape is a MMORPG. Emphasis on the second "M". My opinion, which I will sum up: Why the Frae... how the heck is it spelled... You know, where Zamorak comes from?... would Jagex spend time on this? 1 note that is mostly unrelated to the idea as a whole: Area sounds add a new dimension into the game. While we're taking them out, why not take out other "wastes of bandwidth" like the graphics? Runescape is a MMOG see explaination a few posts above. Multi-player simply means that more than one person is playing the game at one time. It has nothing to do with those players interacting or not. You would not actually need to even be able to see others playing the game for it still to be classified as multi-player. Ex: If there were a time when there was only 1 person on every world on runescape it would not suddenly become a single player game. Because those players could still talk to, which is interaction, each other, but by the same token they would not have to talk to each other. If I cared about the graphics that much I would not have started playing runescape in the first place. I can play it in high detail mode now, but I do not. Area sounds are just annoying. They serve no purpose what-so-ever. If emotes were not needed for a quest or two I would be all for getting rid of them as well.
August 5, 200916 yr Author I have spent many thousands of hours playing runescape. I have a total level of 2283 and have over 280mil xp. I am willing to give all that up and start over for a version that players have to do their own work and to get away from the kinds of players that I replied to in succession above this post.
August 6, 200916 yr All music is crap. :o This is one crazy Idea. I understand why it would be fun - being able to say "I made it to making full Rune Armour ALL BY MYSELF". What I don't get is why we need a whole server for it? The beauty of RuneScape is the ability to choose what we can do and what we don't do. You don't HAVE to go the grand exchange, you don't have to battle alongside people, you don't even have to talk if you don't want to! The game is also renowned for it's accessibility, so why make a mode where it isn't easily accessible? It doesn't make sense. A non-free mode of this is probably they only way Jagex could see this as worth it, but I don't think enough people would pay for that kind of game, that said, I don't think this kind of game mode wouldn't take off. Ever. It's what I do

Ever. I fully agree with this. The point is: You CAN do most of these things in the normal RuneScape. You don't HAVE to. You have a choice. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing!
