Hey guys,

 

 

 

Updates, were they worth it?

 

 

 

Today, i am talking about the updates that Jagex have been making lately. I do agree with the updates that they have been making, and i do think that some of them are quite good also, but if they had just like delayed like about 20-30 of them, they could of done something really good, maybe batter graphics? Made runescape bigger? Who knows, but what im saying, i would probeably rather have some of them things than some new armor that i may not even buy, or some spells that i may not even use. I know that if they made the better graphics, then it mayof also made more "lagg" for the unlucky, but if they had also delayed different updates aswell, they may of been able to install a new way to stop "lagg" with the better graphics?

 

 

 

Thank you for your time, next post should be next week.

The graphics can only be improved to such a level or the program would not be able to cope, like the dragons, giants and demons getting a facelift

I do see what you're saying, but weekly updates is what keeps RuneScape alive. If RuneScape were without an update for 30 weeks, there would be nothing new to do and probably 50K+ people would quit. Sorry, bad idea.

Believe it or not, Jagex conducted a poll about this a year ago. They asked about the desired frequency of updates and gave several viable options. The most popular response is what they are doing: Weekly updates with an occassional skipped week to roll out a larger update.

 

 

 

And people think they ignore us.

yup sligo is right, i voted in that poll. I voted for the 2-monthly updates, slightly bigger incontent but not as often. The problem with regular updates is that Jagex are committed to keeping to their behind the scenes updates that they do at the beginning of the month, and either bring things out too early, or have to delay things while they test them further.

 

 

 

To be honest, I'd rather have updates every 2-3 weeks, with a lot more content that has been tested more. Generally I like the updates that they do. I love the quests most, I wish there was a new quest every week :)
