Recently I looked at the unique visitors of the RuneScape homepage, and I noticed a massive fall. Take a look:  The number of unique visitors went from about 3.7M in December 2007 to 2M in February 2009!  That just can't be good... And on top of that, there are rumors that RuneScape will be closed. Apperently a news report said that if the economy doesn't pick up, RuneScape will close its servers. Personally I think RuneScape isn't closing anytime soon, but it is sure going the wrong way. More players quiting and the economic situation at the moment is costing Jagex a lot of money. But we'll see how it will go, I would like to hear your opinion on this.  |

Fire, this certainly shows that the number of visitors is going down every month.
But remember those updates which JaGeX did. It spoiled the game pretty much and that lead people to quit this game and bought in a bad name to the game.
Also, taking in the count the number of MMORPG's are increasing everyday day so there is competition.
From my research, i have found that a new game called "MechScape" is going to release soon (possibly this season) which will also lead to people quitting this game as MechScape will be have better graphics and something to compete in HiScores.
Thanks,
Abhiram

Thanks for your reply. I think that a lot people quit from the December 2007 updates, but the game also got very boring by something else. There's almost no freedom. I mean, back in the old days you could get rich by luck. Some other player dies and drops his stuff, because he had a massive lag for example. Nowadays you can also get rich by luck through the Party Room, but it's a complete chaos with half of the world in the Party Room. That kinda ruins it for me. Also if people die they don't lose their stuff anymore, because of gravestones. So everything is so SAFE! Even if you're almost dying in the hot desert, and you forgot teleport runes you can always use the free teleport rune to Lumbrige and you're saved. How exciting. Maybe that's why so many people find this game very boring, including me. The freedom is totally gone, and so is the excitement.

I think I'm going to quit too soon. The game has gotten really boring. Besides I play Combat Arms now and I have a Wii. Much more entertaining then playing RuneScape, but that's my opinion.

Don't just play it because it was once great. They say: 'Don't live in the past, happiness is your future.' I also don't like RS anymore, I'm often being called a hater, but I'm not, I'm just having my own opinion. RuneScape always had something special back in the days, and they took that away. Where have the awesome updates gone like the TzHaar Fight Cave, where you had to get the Fire Cape? Todays updates are nothing compared to the updates in the past. Or maybe I'm just getting old.  |
