Old Runescape 2007 (3 Viewers)

No Jagex still stand by all their updates they said it would be best for the future

"It was Albert Einstein who said “anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” The Evolution of Combat was new territory for all of us - a massive change to the core of the game, plus a re-balance of almost all combat gear and monsters. Keeping the game fresh for years to come means trying new things; overall I’m proud of the updated combat system and truly believe it's a change for the better in the long run.

The EoC beta (another first for RuneScape) had well over 4 months of your feedback, with huge amounts of balancing and revision of the content. However, looking back this was clearly still not enough for such a big update. Despite the beta it’s clear we didn’t fully appreciate the extent to which everyone would have to adapt to the new gameplay."

I'm going to say the poll will just reach 300k

He didn't really say that, he said that they didn't know people wouldn't be able to adapt as they have with most updates. They still rand by it.

This is quoted from the article he wrote himself. Yes, although they've ~finally~ realised that it was/is a terrible, terrible update. If they were to 100% believe it were the best for the future, I definitely would not see a poll or an article tinged with regret

 

[SpiralFlex]

I actually think that they thought it was a good update and still do, but they have to change it back if they were to attract more players.

 

[SpiralFlex]

The poll is just a marketing technique

 

[SpiralFlex]

They also should get rid of this Squeal of fortune thing it's annoying

Nah I think they realised it was shit and are trying to downplay it.

I'm thinking this as well, since you need to be a member to vote.

 

[SpiralFlex]

They wouldn't release how many members there were I wonder if the poll is a set up

It's staying in main game but wont ever be in 2007 servers they said!

Yeah ofcourse, they want to look like they are taking on board the communities opinion when they already know it's what they want lol. If they really cared they would do it like with the wildy/free trade vote but restrict it to accounts over a year old or something.

 

[SpiralFlex]

aren't we about 15 years too old for that now

Runescape isn't even that old.

Wilderness and free trade got 1.4M votes before but that included F2p

You could vote more than once and apparently it works for this poll too on different browsers.

 

[SpiralFlex]

Flawed

 

[Aysce]

How many people have voted?

 

[Obvious]

How many people have voted?

About 152,000. It's increased by about a thousand over the past four hours...

This is bs, I'm not gonna start from lvl 3 again after spending years grinding to a high level! Besides that, there are still gonna be bots everywhere with free trade on.
