DarkDude Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This is a fail. From Jagex's side. You should really not be giving out tickets for free, when you have first charged for them. And then to inform so lately about it...I'm sure that they have made a lot of players irritated because of this. Even though I don't care much about RuneFest and won't go myself, I think that this is honestly a very bad move from Jagex's side.With the leak on the old Runefest website saying it was going to be at the Olympia it seems more likely that there was a change in the focus of the event to something on a smaller scale. This enabled Jagex to refund the ticket cost. I do not believe that this was the intention from the start. Players get irritated at anything Jagex do. A sign that they mess up at almost anything they do. I hate to admit it too, but it is quickly becoming more and more apparant. Just hope that they fix that real sharpish and get back to how they used to be :( How so? This is their first event, they had no idea of interest levels and it was always going to be a test for them. I'm sure they've learnt a lot of things from this which if they decide to do another event should improve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meili Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well at least now they know the most devoted players willing to spend £75 will be going. Its a good little trick. That was really clever. :thumbsup: Mercifull, on 18 August 2010 - 06:49 AM, said:Let's be honest. If Jagex gave the tickets for free at the beginning it would have sold out within minutes, mostly from people who have no real intention of actually going. Uh-huh. The way they did it worked out but as many have also pointed out, what about next year? I suppose they could have no tickets, as in a free walk-in for everyone but activity booths have tickets that you pay for. Were media people and prominent bloggers/fan site webmasters also invited to go for free? It's the least they could do seeing as these people are giving Jagex free publicity. :) The Runescape Wilderness - Meili's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yes some media people and fansite admins were invited for free. Not me though... i had to pay lol Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

Yeah, I can't remember saying they mess up at all RL events the do, funnily enough this is included in the anything part. EDIT: Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You try organising an event without knowing how many people are likely to come as you have exactly ZERO information on this. I'm sure they had to make changes to their plans based on how many people were buying tickets, there's nothing they could have really done to have predicted that. It's not really a huge blunder either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meili Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hmm you know, organizing real-life events isn't a rocket science and lots of people do it. :) I myself have had experience helping out with huge events. Event planning is a nice business. You have to be very detail-oriented, patient, calm and not easily flustered by every little thing. I don't see where Jagex has messed anything up here, plans almost always change when you have an event so you have to be flexible. Things like changes in venue or ticket pricing is pretty normal. What would be messed up is if they gave away tickets for free and no one came! The Runescape Wilderness - Meili's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tres Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 should had sold my ticket in ebay i see they been sold for 60 pounds lolbut i received mine way too late (today) to do anything with it anymore so it will remain unused for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ts_Stormrage Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You ordered your ticket with a credit card or soemthing similar, didnt you? Thats your photo ID comparisson right there... So if another name is on that card, I'd make a photo copy of the card also, just to be safe... EDIT:PS; I'm posting a whole review of the event (and everything related to it, leading up to, and afterwards) on the Tip.it Times... You'll recognize me easily cuz I have a Tip.it Times ID stuck in my hat just like them old journalists, and that should make me well over 2m tall... ANYTHING you want me to consider for the review, PM it to me here (links to pics and vids plz) or speak to me at the venue!
