They don't need a website for it. its not mean't to be a game in its own. its mean't to be a different server of runescape, much like WOW or any other big MMO's have different gameplay servers.
Why would they advertise something that is 6 years old? Everything about it is 6 years old, what would make a new player say, DAMN THAT GAME LOOKS AMAZING. Not the graphics, not the game play, not the bugs, not anything, its pure nostalgia. Thats the only reason jagex put out the servers, to keep current players from leaving and giving them something to play.
Also, since when has jagex EVER advertised? I know they don't in the United states. I see WOW commercials all the time, other MMO's. Ive never seen a runescape one, they have said there-self, they don't do mass marketing.
You're pay for runescape Membership, With that comes the ability to play EITHER EOC(the main game, which is always under development) 07 Servers, or classic servers.
As for the laggy servers, yes they are, I believe its due to the fact they added the load of 80 some worlds for 07 to the already vast EOC servers. Making it much more laggy and server dcing. Thats what people wanted tho. they wanted 07 back.
As for the $7 Membership, Like really? saying that is expensive... You can't even buy TWO gallons of gas for $7. Buying a new video game is ~$60, thats 9 months of rs membership, Not many games have enough content to keep you into it for more then 9 months, and if they do, its most likely cause you're paying for online services or bonus packs.
Overall, its a great deal. And if you don't enjoy the game. Don't play it. Its crazy how much people will complain about something. No matter how much jagex changes the game, or listens to people. They can't make every single person happy.
Its just the fact of life. If you find yourself botting every single xp you gain. Paying people to do your quests/firecapes. Only pking or pvming and raging when jagex does an update. I would suggest you find a new game. Runescape is always changing, weather we like it or not. No day will be the same as the day before. Ive never botted a single xp on my main, and i still love the game, but that its because i take breaks, and do things i enjoy, rather then dwell on all the things i don't :P
