Hi there. I know you. You're the person who claims to be Uloveme's sister.

Anyway, as I said many times before, free the game first before making it look better.

Heres what I would have done:

 

I would have made all female players 18 and up send their photos and come visit my assistant and I at my lovley estate. As a pre req, for playing our free game for entertainment, they would have to come over for a party and entertain us for the day. My assistant would get all the fat ones and I would get both of the good lookin ones.

PS.Maybe someone should try prank calling Jagex using the DUNCAN CONSTRUCTION aka Frank Garret Soundboard LOL.

Tuss

I would change it back to the way it was just to shut up all the vets on these forums.

Blissey

I would have sold the game and started an ammunition factory, guns are good business.

Palo_god

I would change everything, But first I would rollback the game to what it was in 06.

Question:

If by chance Jagex returns free trade and the limitless wildy, do you think people will bother returning to runescape after all that has happend?

Only if they added real customer service. For membership you should be able to call and talk to a person. I mean hell it is sad when they don;t even offer real customer service when a game like Guild wars that costs wayy less per year than Runescape membership offers excellent customer service and they act like people are asking the impossible.

They might actually since alot of people only played it to pk in wildy. Personally I wouldn't though..

Same here, friend. I sure learned my lesson not to trust in a bunch of ignorant fools. At least MG is taking steps away from ignorance and towards socialism so I give him 1+ for that.

They would start getting a lot of new members again but unless it was a different company they would still keep the bad reputation. If they got a new company, new people at the top, and stopped being fascists then most of the people that quit would come back.

Reputation always counts as first unless of course that crap company "pays" the public to promote them. I bet because of the bad publicity of Runescape here on MMORPG.com, some people are being bribed by Jagex to promote their game here against all odds. Makes me laugh really..these blind fanboys.

in-a-snit

The first thing I would do is kick andrews ass out of the building and tell him to get a job.

Next order of business would be to hire a newer graphics team,developers and someone who can design costumes.

Id bring pvp back into action like it was in 06

I'd keep the ge and get rid of price caps.

i'd update all skills to 90+

I'd add new skills

I'd do a mage overhaul as they have screamed for it for years now

I'd do 1 quest per month..and if is a series make sure its finished.

I'd change the achievment diaries to include lvls for low,med,high and master

I'd get rid of trade restrictions and change the current way to detect for autoing.

I'd bring back staking at the duel arena

I'd change the drop system so it wasnt based entirly on luck

I'd make all items from events tradable

I'd change most of the rules and bannable offences would be null and void after due time

I'd change the chat filter so you can toggle it off for the goody goodies who dont like the word ass and allow free speach

I'd change the forums so everyone has a say including free to play only in their own and seperate it from members

I'd change the way in-game moderaters were selected which would include taking a test and free subscriptions to those who are.

I'd incorporate a message center for customers who need assistance to always have it...24 hours.

Well that takes care of the first month....anything else?

Speaking of doing different. There is a company in developement stages right now making a medieval themed sandbox like RS. So many things that have been disliked in RS for years will not be in the game and so many new things that RS could have had to make it better will be in this game.

I can't give details on the company or game but they will be coming out in the coming months. Just imagine a game themed like RS without the bad sides to it plus so much more RS could have been.

It's time that Java based crock of bull got some challengers to kick it's ass. Us WoW players are feeling too good to be compared to RS. anyway, what's the name of this medieval-sanbox  project you're talking about?

avneet

That will be released in time as they are ready for their public introduction. I will post it all over the web the second it's announced with their site included. Just know most of the developers were and are also runescape players so they aren't just people added to the team to make a sandbox, but to compete with runescape at the same time.

in-a-snit

It'll be interesting to see how this new company does against jagex. Hope its not going to take them years to get off the ground. I will be one to probably play it if there is a free to play version or trial period at least.

Can you message me when you get new info on this game?

 

avneet

Sure thing but there will be posts all over web in large mmo community websites including this one. You wont miss it believe me It's just a matter of patience because no time frame is being released. Only released as things are ready step by step

 

It's still being developed to so remember that also

I remember when i frist tried runescape way back when, it didnt apeal to me much because it looked to cheap compared to other games out at the time. The hype about it always made me laugh because i thought it was a joke of a game. but  now i realize that its not just the look of a game that counts, its the role playing amd fun factor. alot of people felt comfortable with this game and got into it. Its been around for a long time, if they came out with a Runescape 2 and actually made it up to par with current mmos, i think it would do well considering all the things you can do inside of runescape, with beefed up graphics and make it more mature. Heck i would give it a try.

avneet

Thus comes the game currently in developement. That's what all the devs of this new game thought about RS but something RS they never cared to do. Well now this new game is going to do it and give everyone what they always wanted out of an mmo sandbox game

Blissey

Yes The runescape you are playin right now is the Rs 2. Classic has been regulated, and only a few hundreds are allowed by them nazis to play it. In terms of gameplay, Java has alot of disadvantages. Even a game like Kal Online beats Runescape in combat and team management. Other MMOs are aware of what is repetitve and what is not. Runescape on the other hand is stagnant and slow. A good example of a balance MMORPG would be WOW. Although WoW doesn't have as much "skills" as Runescape, it contains alot more to do, and alot more types of combat available. Think of the game "Never Winter Nights" or "Dungeon Siege" as an MMORPG .On most client based MMOs, one doesn't just stand there and attack like a robot. This is one thing that can be implemented if an entrepreneur wants to strike a balance. What language is this new game based on? Is it Java or a client based language software?

avneet

It's client based under a form of C++ but it also comes with web publishing which is how it's final release will be published.
