UPDATE OPINION

[sithlord]

All this talk about the update, in the end Jagex is a business, they need to do what will make them the most money.

 

In my opinion:

 

Update was because RS was slowly dying out, very few new players and many players moving on. Something was needed to change the image of what RS was or it would die.

 

I like to say it's like when McDonald's made the Mc Cafe. It has some differences, but if you did not like McDonald's, you will not try the Mc Cafe because it has the history of what you did not like. RS will not attract many new players because it is the same name and people that used to play and new players that have heard of it will just think its a update and the game is the same.

 

There will be some players that leave because of the update, some will deal with it and stick it out. The question at hand is will there actually be new players attracted to the game, if so how many? I would guess honestly around 30 percent of the pure community will leave. I would guess maybe 10 percent of the others will. With that said, I believe that this game will increase about 2 percent more players. I think that in the end this will be a bad decision. They will lose money. The game was dying either way.

 

Now with all that said, I believe that if Jagex is a business which it is, it needs to care about everyones opinions, however it is for profit, and at this point if they took beta away they would lose all the money that they spent on it. They are hoping that the tight community that likes this update will attract new players by word of mouth ect. If not if they took the beta away they would lose all money spent on it and the game will still end eventually and the money won't add up to what they spent.

 

Sad to say, there best move is to keep the update. I hate it, but it is what it is, they should have polled to see and done more research to see if this would be more profitable, I think there is nothing they can do now.

 

I have heard and talked to them about making two servers, but the cost would very much out due the income. We are stuck with it, unless Jagex is willing to let everything they put into it go and keep the game dying as is.

 

I wish they could have never put it up there, but it is what it is.

lol i'm not a fan of it, just a business perspective, they were going to lose either way. There last hope, just I think it will cost them more than they gain. I am saying I know why they did it, but I think they were wrong to do so.

Ok jagex felt they needed to make a change however it doesn't cater to my personal wants along with many other players (pures and non-pures) so i won't be adapting like a little dog.

 

I am happy to say i will not be contributing to their revenue i don't regret paying for p2p in the past because i enjoyed rs2.

I agree, I feel like many more will do the same.
