oh well i'll stick around and see if it pick is self back up, dont think it will but sence i never realy pked this change wasnt that bad to me

but over time things might change and i'll see if differently

i like those update,

I still hope they implements my really big suggestion for 2008 ^^

I'm always adapting to new circunstances since I left members, and I think jagex is doing the best on their updates. I'm almost sure there are alot of read and comment about the updates. I will check on knowlegde base about details like wilderness and those new bankers on karamja near nature temple and blast furnace, also the new minigames on wilderness and how wilderness got affected and if still exists the old multicombat zones. I had to bank my iban staff and ammy of nature (p2p) for adapt to this update (and for play on duel arena f2p)



And jagex added bank pin to collect and exchange interfaces ^^

I still hope they implements my really big suggestion for 2008 ^^

I guess you didn't read where RuneWebbians (and Tip.iters for that matter!) placed more holes in your idea than Swiss Cheese after it just got through a Browning 30 caliber machine gun.

On to the update:

It's changed the face and the way that we view the game, that's for sure. I can't help another player with a quick spurt of experience (for instance, I can't make longbows for Baakalor if he just wanted the alch experience), nor could I give my friends gifts. I can run back from virtually anywhere to grab my items again (Angel of Death), and not have to go regretting that I lost my full Barrows.

...

However, that's not to say that all is lost, really. I can't feel that Jagex made a turkey of an update, since, well this is what we asked for. We wanted a game where RWT couldn't undermine or cheapen our efforts as legitimate players, and well...we got it now.

It's changed the face of RuneScape. It's definitely left its mark (or scar), but I reckon now's the best time to heal up and brace the new year with hope and anticipation.

Jagex hasn't really screwed up until they start acknowledging fansites that have ads that ironically support RWT.

------

Speaking of irony, guess what I heard through the grapevine over in #Update? Allegedly, some Jagex Mod is going to listen to a suggestion forum on Zybez. Isn't this the exact same site that refuses to remove RWT-related ads?

[Don't tell me they can't remove them. Yes they can.]

The next day after the updates and hardly any one is online. Where as normally there is about 1000-1800 people per world, now there is barely 200 people per world.. Everyone is quitting.

Poor JaGeX... but of course its their own fault.

SHIT

Does that mean RS players are going to flood WoW now?

DON'T DRIVE US OUT OF OUR GAME =(

That's exactly what it means. WoW FTL

Actually, you should be more worried about whether Blizzard will take the same stance as Jagex now that the war against RWT is seemingly successful.

The next day after the updates and hardly any one is online. Where as normally there is about 1000-1800 people per world, now there is barely 200 people per world.. Everyone is quitting.

That picture you took...you do realize that it was a school night for most Americans, and they'd rather get some sleep than play RuneScape?

The way I feel about the players that quit over this update is simple -- if they cannot cope with the changes (or wait it out to see how it really is), then they need to be leaving. I'd just prefer it if they left and didn't let the door hit them instead of rioting/flaming/spamming every which way or every place where we try to have a decent convo about it.

By the way, did anyone realize that this update also got rid of:

• Drop trading between accounts
• Hackers attempting to transfer goods between one account and another (now they're just dropped and lost instead of stolen)

I think that's it. If I remember any more I'll edit this post.

2 things, F2P Construction maybe happens.

The another thing is that Clan Wars is f2p also, if you want to go with me to play Clan Wars or vs our rs family visit our clan chat ^^

stfu about f2p jesus christ!!!!!

F2P Dueling: Free to play hasn't had many updates lately, although it usually doesn't get many updates. You can't win money from dueling anymore so it will be played purely for the entertainment. Hopefully this will hold the f2pers over for another few months. This and the party room is enough fun.

Bank Space: Just in the nick of time. I was down to my last three slots. I'm also glad they f2p another line of space. Was very needed.

Shrinking the Wild: I got to admit, they did a fairly good job squeezing the wild together. It doesn't look too bad at all judging by the pic that Cafebcs posted. You'll definitly be running into pkers left and right now. Does the wilderness still go up to lvl 56 though? Now that I look at the pic, it doesn't look like it was squeezed very much.

Combat Only Restriction: Makes sense that you cannot take gold or valuable items into the wild. I have nothing against the restrictions but i'm sure someone will find an item that should be allowed in the wild, but isn't.

Revenent Ghosts: This is pretty crazy imo. A few of my friends which are 115+ said that these ghosts hit very hard and are not fun to come across. If I get these things when i'm using the abyss, that will make me pretty angry. Hopefully they aren't that common.

Bounty Hunter: This sounds like a pretty fun minigame, i'd have to try it out to fully understand how it works and if it is worth playing. I wonder for how long it will be popular and have people regularly playing it. Making Bounty highscores at least gives some motive to play the game.

Clan Wars: I knew this would be coming. Nothing fancy but good to have. This has been in high demand for a while now. Clans can finally go at war without having to worry about others crashing it.

Trade Changes: The trade changes are ridiculous in my opinion. Jagex now has full control of the market (which isn't a bad thing but what about future big drops? What if a new piece of equipment came out, obtainable only by monster drops. Will Jagex determine a starting price? Maybe there won't ever be more large npc drops coming out. They could make the other expensive items they plan to release obtainable through quests or minigames.

I am pretty frustrated now that I cannot lend/borrow items from friends or give out presents...I really never thought i'd see this day. I now have to tell all my friends to give back the items I lent out. This game has pretty much gone independent. You cant help friends out as much (atleast you can still give food/pots). Assist system helps a little bit if someone only needs a few things made. You can't merchant anymore. People will actually have to work on their skills to become good...it's been a long time since remember those days...

Discarded Items/Deaths: I don't drop trade so the new discarding items rule doesn't affect me. I don't see how it would...why would I drop item over 3k anyway? The gravestone thing is another ridiculous move by Jagex. Why do they want to wreck pking? Well, I guess it was already wrecked from what they have already done.

Overall: I'm not looking forward to January at all. In fact, I fear that month now and hope it never comes. I'm just angry about the trading...not able to borrow/lend items, give presents and having to buy items at a set price, no bartering involved whatsoever anymore. Pking is dead too. If the duel tournaments weren't so good, I would be very mad about pking. This is just a lot of change and will take time to adapt too, but still, this is a disappointing update and will be on to write down in the books.

Runescape is just the governments testing grounds to see what would happen if they took over the economy and didn't let everyone kill one another


They're watching you

Actually, you should be more worried about whether Blizzard will take the same stance as Jagex now that the war against RWT is seemingly successful.

Nah, Blizzard isn't that dumb, when people start quitting on a large scale, they fix shit. Happened about a month ago with shamans, they nerfed the class in an idiotic, unneeded way, so subscriptions started getting cancelled on a wide level, and then they reverted it. Plus, they don't really care about RWT that much, considering you can only buy so much in the game, the real loot comes from time/skill spent pvping and raiding.
