I played 5 years of runescape to perfect my pure ( for pking )
and jagex removed the pking ... all this money wasted ...
i wish pking come back. All the fun is now gone, all my friend quitted runescape through...

This update, though fixing problems, removes all the fun and co-operative gameplay between two real-world friends. You can't ask your friend to loan you cash anymore and you can't split cash you both earn by doing activities. This game treats everyone, no matter how close of friends, like strangers.

I think that the updates are necessary. Without the updates, Runescape would die when everyone can go online and buy off gold and become wealthy. We need to realize that Runescape has become harder and certainly a challenge to survive in pking and harder to earn money when the prices drops.

Steve Wilkos, Ohio, USA

While I understand this move and its importance, Jagex's decision on when to introduce the updates was seriously flawed. Much better would have been to have SEVERAL loot based pvp minigames up while shutting off the wilderness, and not a single, and terribly flawed Bounty Hunter.

RuneScape has NEVER been a PKing game for me. I'm much more into skilling. I have not had a problem with the PKing changes or the trade limit. I have loved all the new content, and I am very happy that Jagex is catering for players who believe in earning their money - fairer for players like me.

Lee Clarke, Southampton, England

I love the new updates, the Grande Exchange has helped the RuneScape Economy Greatly, and for pking, I was never really into it, and I never realized that it was so popular. In my view it was replaced by a minigame where players actually have a choice of risking their items. New Graphics in July,08.

I am so glad I quit when I did. I stuck it out for over a year after RS2 came out. Classic will always be the true game. If Jagex weren't so forceful in pushing people to the train wreck on which they lavished so much work, they could have stuck around policed RSC and kept it growing well.

Runescape was not all about pking or giving free gold to friends. it is all about the fun and enjoyment of getting a new lvl up or making new friends. personially i think the updates were a good idea, the only problems that i have with them is the revenants. other then that it was a good move.

They already replaced the 60k that left & then some just a few weeks ago they had a record 268k people online at once. What they did with Fist of Guthix is amazing I was an avid Pker but I like Fist of Guthix even more.

Then ontop of that the graphic updates are very nice now :)

Cathy, Sydney,

Jagex did ruin RS with their RWT updates. Their changes caused many hundreds of the older, experienced and mature players to quit. All that's left now is those who are too addicted to leave and the utter masses of amazingly unintelligent noobs. Jagex replaced bots that don't bother you unless your skilling, with noobs that bother you 24/7, not realising that we can't give them free stuff anymore.

Ben, Australia,

I think its really unfair that the free players cant get enough quest points to raise their trade limit. Jagex should lower the limit for 4.8k gp unbalaced trade from 50 quest points to 39 quest points (the max for a free player).

runescape was ruined in december 2007, only to get worse in february, 60k subscribers have quit, jagex does not get all that involved in playing the game to actually get in the players heads to make the game better; they just go off of what they think will suffice the players when really they have no idea how to even play runescape

They did not ruin RS.It's just different now.Times change and life goes on.

Lauri, Tallinn, Estonia

they ruined the game its a joke now

kyle, port perry, canada

the entire game was ruined for ever and i doubt Jagex will admit their mistake and an easier solution to the bots would be to encourage it..........

Dillard, San Antonio, TX, U.S.A

They lost 60k subscribers. Oh well. That still leaves, oh, 940k subscribers to the Members worlds. To me, that's not to shabby at all. The people who left were probably the bots. The game is much funner now. Skilling is back, minigames are much funner, and heck, I can do much more in the area once known as the Wilderness. Runecrafting! Runecrafters are worshipping Jagex. They don't worry about being killed once they cross that "Berlin Wall". In all, I think everyone who enjoys the game is happy. Jagex, player moderators, dedicated players.

Runescape may have lost 60000 subscribers, but how many were these were bot accounts that have now left Runescape? The majority of them, I think.

Jagex had to do something about RWT, no matter how ugly the consequences, banks were refusing to be involved with them due to stolen credit cards. No bank, no business, no runescape, simple.

Luke, Sheffield, England

Having such graphic standard on a Java-Based is more than just simple. However, jagex has got more advertising to do for RuneScape.
Having add-ons for RuneScape is important, but it would still be great if they could improve their gaphics further.

Dave Kingston, Planet Jupiter,

People who thought Runescape was just a pking game are the ones who are leaving. But there are plenty of people who enjoyed the other aspects of the game: skilling, minigames, and a community, now free of bots and gold farmers. These are very very happy with the changes, that make the game more enjoyable for them. Some ex-players, who had left the game tired of the narrow mentality of pkers and of robotic characters getting their supplies, have returned to Runescape, when friends told them about the changes. A company that prefers to lose paying members in an effort to make the game better and more fair is one to be respected, in my opinion.

Anna, London, UK

Runescape was a PK'ing game, Simple. The statistics of it before the removal of PKing where good. It could compete the the intesity of WoW, for a fraction. They stoped real world gold yes, but what happend to the 60,000 or more that left the World of Runescape to other succesfull MMORPG'S? World of Warcraft has a movie on the rise in 2009, TV Commercials, HUGE Gatherings all over the world, the players are happy. Runescape's arn't. It was simply a PK'ing game.

Jagex has ruined the game with their Player vs Player updates. I've played for years and had 3 paid subscriptions. I've cancelled 1 already and will let the other 2 go when they run out.

Time to find another online game.

Darvaria, Memphis ,

Finely something new! im planing on buying a membership on the first day this is released to see what it is all about.

Chris Miller ( Pigeonman13 ), Manistee, usa/mi

Jagex is a great company and runescape could be much better by creating maybe a ladder...

that way when there are so many people rejoining there is always a race to 99 skills and lvl 126 or 138 i think it is now.

It could last 1 year or so each ladder..

Brendan, Childers,

Jagex have ruined runescape with all its updates.
