I know it’s been a while since i posted an article on TRB and i thought that this might be the right time. With the new HD graphics update and all the changes that Runescape has concured this year. As you guys might know, or maybe you probably dont. You probably don’t but yeah, im the creator of RuneSociety and as an admin, im really starting to get the impression that Jagex is slowly killing off RuneScape Help. Why? Well, im not completely certian of course, and this article is mostly alot of my opinion instead of fact, but i think it will really make you think. Over the course of the years, RuneScape Help has been a driving factor in the growth of RuneScape. Even if someone doesn’t play the game itself, they would join a forum like RuneSociety and just simply hang out with the crowd and eventually get into the game at least a bit.

Of course, thats a whole other issue and would be pointless to discuss in this issue. Anyway, to get back to the point. I think Jagex is finally going to get something right. If RuneScape wants to survive in the upcoming MMORPG heat, it needed to buff up its game. Jagex realized that if they didn’t cut the laziness and start working on something that will make people head back to RuneScape.. their pretty much over. After all, most people eventually move onto World of Warcraft (WoW) from RuneScape. Why? Although i don’t have a definite answer, i believe that it could be the possiblity of growing up a bit more. Like for example, as i started to learn more and started to hit age 14-15, i started to realize that there were alot better games out there. That are more fun and graphically more appealing, RuneScape’s visual appeal started to wear off on me and quite frankly, i got sick of it. Read more »
