    Default Runescape is dead

    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.

    Sorry about that Pheonix. I never would have thought to post this in a news section.

    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 wholeheartedly agree with this. However these days it seems I can't auto for 30 minutes without getting surprise sexed by a random encounter.

    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 but I made myself a quick list of (free) games to check out once school is over (1 week!!!)

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

    Sweet. Once you're done trying them out you should post back here and let me (and everyone) know which ones were worth your time. I might end up gravedigging this post in a few weeks

    Same here, except I turned 12 three months ago . But I started play Runescape at 8-9 years old. So I've played for 3+ years.

    I think by saying 11-12 year olds, they mean the stupid ones that didn't bother to learn what a gp was worth, not the ones that they couldn't exploit
    there always has to be a smart few of every group...

    I fled to WoW
    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

    Lol, I second that.


    But yeh, the GE is much MUCH easier to sell and buy with however it kind of changed the whole game. I liked it better before that HUGE update.

    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 .

    You tried all 10 or 20 games? That sucks, man. Time for a new investment?

    I guess that is one thing that's still better about RS, it'll still play on the lowest of the low PCs (and other OS's with java)

    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.

    Lol, you guys do realize runescape scored a success with those updates? cheaters like us complain more than any other group of players. Sure, some p2p members also complain, but that is a minimal price to pay for them in order to ruin the game for us. 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!!
    There is nothing right in my left brain and there is nothing left in my right brain.
