mysticallity has a point though...whoever does stick around will be a part of an entirely new community. Quite possibly less exciting but still a new community and a new age. It's basically another RS jump to a nextgen game. You could argue that they've effectively made RS2.1 O_o

Or it will be full of six year olds as Baakalor pointed out.

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.

I agree, the game sucks and someone has to write a guide on Summoning. However, things may change - Jagex has released updates that had a much calmer negative response and made adjustments.

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?

Regardless, I think the numbers are still somewhat lessened.

Clan Wars is the only thing that shinned in the "Grand Update"
In discust I must say Most pures lost their purpose just like stakers.
Bounty Hunter Revolves around a forced minigame, im not even going to bother going over the crappy rules.
Wilderness is no longer dangerous.
Without hesitation anyone can walk through the wild with a rare or expensive item now
To top it all off the Runescape Trade and Market will have a very Merry Christmas.
Funny to see all the people who used to complain about this stuff got what they wanted.
Plain and Simple Babysitting with an Iron Fist.

Have a nice night

I suppose getting rid of RWT/macroers/gold farmers just didn't appeal to you then? Since that's what 90% of the community whined about 95% of the time.

One trick ponies usually get put out to stud after a while. Glad I have other PKer accounts instead of dealing with one...

You really should, since it's not necessarily the same thing you know. Wilderness was a forced minigame too, if you think about it. Go in to do a clue scroll or mine and you always ran the risk of being PKed without reason or rhyme. That brings me to...

One word: Remnants. I dare you to fight one of those things with a Partyhat (and please, let me watch your glory too).

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.

^ Like he said, there you need to put in hours of dedication to get the good shit, and you need 24 other people who compliment your skills to do it with you. There was once a group in China that would rent out raid spots spots but it was such a time sink for such low cash that they couldn't afford to continue and now they just level characters 1-70.

Most gear in WoW is also BoP (BIND ON PICKUP) meaning no one else can ever wear it. This pretty much levels players with skill over plays with money (hell I was MT and I owed my Guild Master about 500g for gems but I was good so it didn't matter). Otherwise in WoW, money only buys consumables and epic flying mounts (fast travel speed).

If your all looking for a server with a fresh start can I suggest The Underbog or perhaps Jaedenar?

To be honest, RWT's never bothered me that much. I would perfer to keep pking than get rid of RWT's. If they could get rid of RWT's without effecting out fun. Then they should do that. If updating the game to get rid of RWT's effects the honest paying players, they should either not do it or find a different way. Pking for me is the best part of RuneScape. It's what I train for. What a play for. I aint whining because there is a change like alot of people seem to think. Duel arena, that was a shame but I could accept that. Pking is just too far in my opinion. I'm not sure what jagex is going to do. Maybe they will not put it back, but change it again to make it better keeping every one happy and not just the pkers.

I never will act like this on my clan chat, but I know they having a bad day.

"[REVISION] We know that some players are upset about the changes to RuneScape, but right now we need you to trust us. We're doing what it takes to keep our game fun to play. Imagine how much fairer RuneScape will be with no bots to get in your way, and no cheaters to make your efforts seem meaningless. That's why we're making these changes - we're doing it because we want to keep our game great. [/REVISION]

If we don't do this now, there will be no more RuneScape - so please help us by giving us your support.

We also know that without *you*, there would be no more RuneScape - so whether you like or dislike our updates, we want to hear from you on the runescape.com Forums. Feedback sent through the messaging system can't be passed on to RuneScape developers, but we've made some sticky posts in the Recent Updates Forum and we're waiting to hear from you there."

Written by Mod Gabriel to me. Please support Jagex. I support them 100%.

The idea of player mods are also beyond lame. To have the ability to mute users certainly is pathetic.

What the hell are you talking about? I don't recall anyone here at RW or seriously anywhere else actually complaining about RWT. No one cared, no one gave a ****. And ok, macroing was unfair (though its not like anyone launched a vendetta against that either), but the majority of macroers have been eliminated.
