Mechscape is going to destroy runescape.

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

Now, the not sonice people at jagex seem to be trying to complety get rid of player interaction, there making a MMORPG and its not a online single player game..... No because they realise that they can get lots of money out of a MMORPG.

 

Mechscape is going to be a pile of [cabbage] and the reason for this is that

 

1) there will be a really small bit of player interaction

2) it will be all "pay real life cash for this, Pay real life cash for that"

 

there starting again and evening out there "mistakes" (PvP combat and player trading).

 

the only thing you will be able to do is buy from NPC's and no-one wants that as we all know.

 

Mechscape will draw players away from runescape, runescape will get less updates while mechscape becomes there new money harvesting system.

I would love to see your evidence for these claims. The biggest part of making a good rant is having proof that supports your point of view.

 

And if Mechscape does end up being like this there is no way that alot of RSers will convert.

[Draconic]

And your evidence for these claims is....?

 

And dammit learn there/their/they're uses, what a semicolon, its/it's, as well as capitalizing proper nouns and the beginning of sentences...

 

Really, I'm not usually a "Grammar Nazi", but seriosuly, 18 grammatical errors in a single post is unreasonable.

 

And how exactly is Jagex trying to get rid of player interaction? I mean, there's only the assist system, item lending, face-to-face trading, the enourmously popular Castle Wars, Soul Wars, Pest Control, Team Boss Hunting, Trouble Brewing (lol), clan-hosted events, Bounty Hunter, Fist of Guthix, PvP worlds, Mobilising Armies, Evil Tree, Shooting Stars, Penguin Clans, House Parties, The Party Room, Burthope Games Room, Trawler Fishing, Shades of Mort'ton Mini-game, Group Questing; general competition for things like monsters, ores, trees, etc; Duel Arena, Tournaments, Clan Wars FFA, Clan Wars; Group Skilling like with fishes, Agility Courses, etc; The Clan Chat, Friend's List, and the good ol' fashioned chatting while standing around.

 

How do you know what the player interaction will be like when hardly any information has been released?

 

How do you know what Mechscape will cost?

 

How do you know what the extenet of NPC-trading will be?

 

How do you know what the effect will be on Runescape's population?

 

I remember a statement somewhere... Jagex is targeting a more mature audience with Mechscape.

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

And what do you base this Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt on? Or are you just trying to scare everyone?

[langer]

This rant is a waste of forums space. The OP must be under the influence...

[Dirkmetal]

Well, then I'm pulling my stocks outa Runescape, and putting them is Stellar Dawn right now!

Thanks for the inside tip!

[Omali]

1.) A small bit of player interaction? Henrique advertised Mechscape as a "less hardcore version of Eve Online". If you'd played Eve Online, you'd know the entire game centers around player interaction. Not to mention the game will feature factions.

 

2.) As far as I'm aware, there are no plans for a cash shop in Mechscape, I'd like to see your evidence for this.

 

tl;dr: Delete this thread, OP is high on stupid.

[Youmu]

Just because Mechscape is coming does not mean Runescape will be destroyed. I'm continuing to play Runescape, it's my choice.

 

Another one of those dumb-[wagon] rants... oh well worth the post count.

[Me_Hate_Libs]

Thw only way they Mechscape will destroy Runescape is if Jagex stop developing RS to make Mechscape, which if is the case, then Jagex would have destroyed Runescape, not Mechscape. Here's the deal: Someday, Runescape will be gone. Everything we are doing will not make any real difference in the long run. Get over it and have fun while you can.

[3hitm4g3u]

Don't be confused by their names.

 

Mechscape will be nothing like Runescape.

[Me_Hate_Libs]

More than likely not. I also have no interest in any RPGs that are sci fi related.

[xdragonblind]

runescape is much better..

[Me_Hate_Libs]

runescape is much better..

 

As you've never played Mechscape you can hardly say that now can you?

Support.

 

Mechscape will impact RS.

 

It already has, this year has seen less RS updates and the updates we did have are not so great as their real talent is working on Mechscape.

 

Also the maxed out RS players will rush to Mechscape, and this will impact RS as less godswords & other player made items will enter the game.

 

 

 

The sky will fall and the RS world will end sometime in 2012.

 

In all seriousness I did read somewhere mechscape will sell items for cash.

[TTanT]

This thread seems to be a magnet for idiocy.

 

MechScape is a SciFi mmorpg. That isn't soemthing that is very common. It also isn't something that would attract your average Runescape buff.

 

 

All in all, I think Mechscape won't effect Runescape at all, except for eventually putting more money into Jagex's pockets.

 

 

*Slaps Hex* Please stop this!

[Harakiri]

U all are stupid! OP is rite!

 

Mechscape be not FTW! It will fale! I haet Jagflax, they stuped and don't make good gaem!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would list this as the stupidest rant I've ever read. When most people make stupid rants, they at least put something behind it, you are just throwing out some idea that Mechscape will suck because of the loss of player interaction.

 

And, pray tell, will somebody explain to me the loss of player interaction? People still talk and trade, so that means there is player interaction. And does anybody really care if not as many people are bothering them? Is it really that annoying that you can walk about without being asked to buy something, get your armor trimmed, or whatever else it is people sat on the road talking about.

[Me_Hate_Libs]

Honestly, we don't even know enough about Mechscape to even be able to give a correctly informed opinion about it, whether good or bad. Hex your argument here is as lazy as your Garfield avatar.

[Chayliel]

Oh? There's no evidence to disprove his claims, however.

 

That's the thing about speculation in regards to bodies that haven't even been touched upon yet, it's impossible to tell. All theories are correct, essentially, until all claims are refuted by truth.

Exactly, this thread is a stupid waste of time. Nothing can come of it!

[Wingless]

Sigh.

Sounds just like the L4D x L4D2 rant.

No. Jagex are mostly going to let Rune and MechScape run alongside each other, like VALVe wants to do withh L4D1 and 2, and leave the players to choose what they want.

They will not just let RuneScape die. That's like raising a child for 8+ years then throwing it in a river.

 

Then there's the matter of the accounts. Players aren't going to get high-level skills then just abandon it. They will carry on playing, like I will, and probably play both.

I, I don't know what to say. You just compared Jagex to VALVe.

Is this a good thing for Jagex, or a bad thing for VALVe?

 

Jagex=VALVe of the MMORPG gaming world?

[Ravenkana]

Well, Mechscape could be very bad for Runescape. If it flops, Jagex will have lost thier initial investment(time spent developing the game and the money spent wages for those who did). Having taken this hit, Jagex may very well cut back on updates or staff.

 

If it succeeds, all is well and good.

 

But I have a feeling it won't. I don't know thist for a fact, but since Jagex is claiming to be producing Mechscape for an older audience, they'll have to handle it completely different. More transparency, more customer support, and less babying. Additionally, the gaming community has also given Jagex a negative stigma. No, not Runescape, Jagex. Jagex is famed for lousy customer support and their corporate lies. Because of this, many will be wary of touching the game.

 

tl;dr If they treat Mechscape like they've treated Runescape but try for an older demographic, it will fail causing collateral damage to Runescape.

[quelmotz]

Another [cabbage] post with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

 

Honestly, if you're going to criticise Jagex, at the VERY LEAST provide a bit of evidence supporting your idiotic claims.

Not only their lies, but their constant shroud of secrecy in which they operate. Not just about updates either. I also want to point out the people that came out to their offices for a few days and being made to sign Nondisclosure agreements. :wall:

Whereas groups like Blizzard or Valve have sites, in the form of blogs, homepages, and community sites, that disclose information about future updates such as the release of new games, upcoming patches, new expansions, and developer commentary.
