Why Runescape is Dying
The_Poet:
I really think it's too late, the large prospective player base that you are talking about I believe fall into the category of a) Are pissed off with Jagex and won't come back b) Tried 07 and forgot how long it takes to level or got pissed off due to lack of PKers c) Nostalgic players - the small percentage that may come back, but don't like change and want it to be the same as it was back in the day.
What I believe Jagex need to do is start from scratch with new low level players and work with them to encourage them into PVP and clans from low levels. Most people who would PK and are of a certain age have already heard of runescape and it's bad reputation so they are not likely to be drawn back. It's the new generation of young players that need to be encouraged in and drawn into PVP and clans. If Runescape was a business - it's time to rebrand!
Clans in 07 are guilty of the same thing. The majority of the players aren't 90+ or 100+ or are comfortable to jump through the old school clan membership hoops and activity levels. They don't have the time to level to join a clan and are wary of irc and offsite websites. They are low level players who PK individually or in small groups of friends. Perhaps we can keep PKing going by starting a larger clan community at the low end of the level spectrum and make it easy for them to join and be part of something?

Why do we have to worry about runescape dying, lets make the most of it until it dies. And i think the game Runescape is done, if i could say something to Mod Mark or whoever is in charge would be to let the game go and try to create a new game, it feels as if runescape is worn out, we need something brand new.

Jagex have created lots of new games already, they just haven't been very successful.

Playing Guild Wars 2 currently. Having WvW 70vs70 zerg fights makes me miss the old clan world :<
