Nabbagad Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 @ Melo You may very well find them to be true, but I don't. After actually playing the game and having conversations with various people I've never met before, those assumptions ('generalizations') couldn't be more wrong. I have yet to find a whiny person, nor a hardcore nostalgia purist. Though, I have found people with concerns about the game as it as right now, who I have discussed possible updates with to fix minor/major problems with. But maybe I haven't looked in the right places. In-game experience with players you meet is anecdotal evidence at best. If you are really interested in finding a more wholesome survey of the base, checking the various forums is a great place to start, and you will most definitely find hordes of people who fit into MBII's generalizations.How is his anecdotal evidence different from yours?Yeah I agree with you. @ Yoko Kurama: In-game you have a nice spread of people who are actually playing the game. The forum is mostly full of loud unhappy people who always want what's best for themselves, in fact it's like 90% filled with those people. Those who are happy are not talking on the forum, they are in-game enjoying themselves. And the in-game community has been excellent so far, maybe I've been lucky and only met friendly people, so I'm not going to make any assumptions, but I've found it to be very positive.

Yoko Kurama Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 How is his anecdotal evidence different from yours? His evidence was conversations with people whom he encountered in the game, whereas I suggested taking an informal cross-section of various communities and fan-sites across the net.

Melo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I never presented it as evidence. I merely pointed out that the assumptions made about RS07 players aren't, from my experiences so far, accurate. Edit: I might add that the biggest douchebags I've encountered so far are people saying 'gg' when beating me at the last bit of the Gnome Stronghold agility course. Sorry if I skip words in my sentences from time to time. My brain tends to be a step or two ahead of my fingers when I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamil1210 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 - Players like 07 more than 13 because 13 is too easy- Players buy items in 07 for gold from 13 to make 07 easier Could you explain that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yes. They are not the same players. Sorry if I skip words in my sentences from time to time. My brain tends to be a step or two ahead of my fingers when I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Warrior Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 There are bits about RS2007 I miss too but... I also miss staying up every Christmas for Santa Claus. Right, But I am not one of those EoCscape supporters (in fact I have many problems against it), but I will not be playing the old RS, because, frankly, the very thing that made the game fun is gone, and will never ever come back, no matter what Jagex does.Out of curiosity, what "thing" are you talking about specifically? | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambler Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just throwing in a bit of an opinion here, but I'm probably right in thinking Jagex will choose whatever gives them the most profit when it comes to 07 servers, I'm guessing at least 70%+ won't be willing to pay an additional fee, so it would be better to just "bump up" the vote to 500k, and get way more subscribers (and therefore money), no? ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdATBEQDxx8 I'm loving these 07Scape tip videos coming out. It's amazing how quickly people have been rediscovering the fastest and most cost effective way to do things. btw - does anyone know what song that is? Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecuttingyews Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I was away from the internet for nearly 2 weeks, and when I come back I keep hearing rumours that Jagex changed something about the numbers required for certain things or something? Anyone care to elaborate so I don't have to read 100 pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to elaborate so I don't have to read 100 pages? Basically everything other than f2p being free that was on 750k got taken down to 500k tier, I think several bits of 500k got brought down to 250k as well.

Kimberly Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Am I going a bit goofy or is the vote counter gone? Nevermind, found it haha. I don't see the counter on the front page anymore so I just stopped being a lazy git and went to the voting page linked in the original news article. Only 408k votes :/ I would happily trade away weekly updates for basic with a smaller team for it to be free to members. I'm not playing this just so it can be a clone of the current-day game anyway. (Though it wouldn't be terrible, I just value one more highly than the other.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerendil Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Does anyone know why when I load windows for 2007scape, then put my mac on sleep, then turn it back on, the 07 windows go all black where the game window is? trying to evade my school's filter, but I find this really annoying, any potential fixes?

Let's put it this way, there is something present in the year 2007 that is not present in 2013, and it is not the version of Runescape. I am starting to believe that when people want the old times back, they don't actually want the game itself, but they want the thing that made the game fun back in 2007, which isn't there anymore in 2013. Think hard, it's quite obvious what I am talking about. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Yoko Kurama Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I can safely say that everyone who plays on 2007 servers actually prefer the EoC.(And I know it's true because I read it in a YouTube comment.) None of my statements, implicitly or explicitly attempted to 'speak for everyone' in either EoC or 2007. As I stated before in this thread, a generalization is not, by definition, meant to represent everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
