Runescape's economy was great back in the day because it was full of 12 year olds who didn't know the value of a gp. Now that market prices are set in stone the economy is too hard to exploit to be worth the effort. So what are people doing today? Where have you all fled to?
Congratulations on a good first post here on this great forum.
There is no real answer on your question, A LOT of people have quit RS due to the recent updates. The ones that still auto do not do it so much for gain as before, and even they have their special techniques of transferring cash between accounts and such.
RS is no longer the fun it once was. The best you can do is to auto. The worst sado-masochism is to play legit.
i remember those days. i myself just started playing again after like 2 years.Quote:

Sorry about that Pheonix. I never would have thought to post this in a news section.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. However these days it seems I can't auto for 30 minutes without getting surprise sexed by a random encounter. :(Quote:

no problem. just so you know the gen. news is for public chat and this one is for talk of bugs on the srl forums/site etc.
This was a positive thread title... Shouldnt this be moved to the general news section.
Well one thing is RS is still run by 12 year olds, that hasn't really changed. The only thing is now these 12 year olds are catching on.
Now days though I find myself autoing strictly for xp on my characters. It's more worthwhile in the end I feel.
I loved runescape back in the day, but unfortunately I'll have to agree that Jagex killed it.
Were you serious about this question? If so, I'll at least keep autoing on RS :p but I made myself a quick list of (free) games to check out once school is over (1 week!!!)Quote:

Nice list. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm installing Dofus right now. Hopefully shit won't suck.Quote:

there always has to be a smart few of every group...
i tottaly agree with the economy being f'ed up , but that happned when JAGEX took out the wild , back then everything revolved around pking.Quote:

Then came back
Then fled again
And am back again :P
I think that this is better than WoW in some ways..
Cheaper for one
Lol.
I think WoW>RS in most ways
But I'd still prefer to play RS :)
just a reminder this isnt rl?
lol
Lol, I second that.Quote:

PS: Since I had a quit period during the big update, is drop trading still possible?
No, the only items that will be visible after you drop them are any item under 3k. All other items will never become visible :).
Sorry to disappoint you but my computer is really junky. None of those game clients worked except Dofus, which lagged hardcore. :(Quote:

lol seems better without playing rs for me :)
too much gay pixel tension. hehe but yeah i just auto tbh.
and instead of being worried about rs Gp value lol , get ready for the US economy/prices/gas price (resession)! eek!
You tried all 10 or 20 games? That sucks, man. Time for a new investment?Quote:

correction: Keeping up with the economy no longer brings you any advantage, so there's no reason not to be lazy and use GE prices. Hard work is no longer necessary.Quote:

And guess what? complaining here won't help at all. in fact, complaining here is similar to going to jagex hq and telling them they did a great job... So stop the whining, get onto writing scripts, and use this situation to ht ebest of your abilities...
This response is targeted torwards all the people who say/think: OMG Runescape/SRL is like DEAD! IMA go kill myself!!
it means that your killing yourself in real life lolQuote:

Yeah, Runescapes gotten boring to me as well, all my friends who used to play it no longer do, when I go back to it, it just feels like I do it to remember the old times.
I miss exploiting the economy, and miss password crackers, and I miss trading money between accounts. They remove all of the stuff that made the game fun to me :P.
I only mine pure ess for easy cash..
Yes, runescape died since the events of 10/12. I very rarely play it now and I'm considering selling my account (O.O) as I figured its a stupid game with no point.
Player something more worthwhile like something to get you fresh air, football for example.
runescape rocks!
I quit RS back in August, before shit hit the fan and the game went down the drain.
Unfortantely I'm back here today. Not to play Runescape for the enjoyment, but to cheat for the enjoyment. It's always been a past love and something fun for me.
Outside of the runescape world I've been tinkering with RSC severs, printing stickers, and going to School (I know, the inevitable for some :P)
I agree. I only cheat for the enjoyment. I may do a quest here or there, but that just means im entirely bored. Runescape has officially been flushed. Seems as though Jagsex only released FunOrb because of the diminishing population of runescape.Quote:

LOL Fled.Quote:

thers always maplestory and cabal. keep yo heads up !
With pking and price stable runescape isnt really as fun as it use to. My fav thing to do was mb pk and it was fun.
sadly I have been playing runescape off and on since it was in beta back when i was in 5th grade, (7 years ago). It was like my life, being able to pk anyone anywhere except the bank within 3 levels of you was fking awesome (can i swear?). RS went to crap right when rs2 came out. The only amusing thing to do in this game now is auto and see how high I get before I get banned lol, btw I have legitimately leveled a 78 and a 104 in rs...both banned. I hate you Jagex!!! I tend to talk a lot of crap about jagex and funorb while im playing which is partially why my main got banned lol..
I had over 80 haloween masks believe it or not, I sold them 5-10k each lol.
Anyone else been playing rs for entirely too long?
runescape should stop all this fun orb crap and concentrate on the issue at hand how rs is shit and gay
Its a business, they are doing it to make money, not to make people like them. They don't give a shit what we think about the game, as long as we play it. If they only concentrated on rs, they wouldn't make as much money, not as much advertising space/members. So they need to do both to make more money. Its just a business, designed to make money, not for others enjoyment.
