Rebuilding, Worth it?


Tyler93

Recommended Posts

Alright, So I haven't really played Runescape for months (well over a year since I played regularly). Last time I played it seemed like the game was really dying and it wasn't all that fun to play. I'm just wondering, How are things now, Have they worked on fixing things? (ie: Bots and how are the new Jagex owners)? I'd really like to get into playing again, I just don't want to play again if the game isn't enjoyable anymore.

 

If it's worth playing again, I'd probably start but then I'd have to rebuild (I have probably ~5M now as I blew over 200M before quitting), Would that be worth it?

 

I think that's all I have for questions though, Thanks for reading and I'd appreciate helpful replies!

The only way to find out if it's worth it is by joining the game and see if you find it fun. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I can only say that I still enjoy the game.

Compared to before, RS is arguably worse. The economy is dead and buried with dicers (a form of illegitimate moneymaking that some consider as scamming) holding most of the cash, bots holding resources and causing prices to crash, and legit players trying to hang on to a bumpy ride.

 

Personally I believe much of the fun has gone out of the game, but it's your decision.

Jagex has investors that look out for the most short-term profits. So the game has pretty much stayed stagnant as far as bots whilst borderline real-world-trading updates come out almost bi-monthly. Dicing and staking still reign supreme, etc.

 

However, there's still enjoyment to be had in the game in various places. The best thing you can do is subscribe for a month and see if you like it.
