Was this how you Felt?

By Papatewiki on 13/04/2008
I found this on another website, about when they removed the wilderness.

Take a read.



QUOTE (Death)

T'was two weeks before Christmas, and all through Runescape

Not a player had known what would soon be their fate.

The updates were posted on the website with care,

In hopes that all players would like what was there.

I logged onto Runescape and what did I see?

Four new updates were listed, "Wonder what they could be?"

Real world trading is bad, its "evil" they say…

A new Jagex fight against cheaters today!


Real money for gold, their raking in lots.

Kill all the autoers, kill all the bots!

Removing unbalanced trades, *What the heck is that?"

Means all those merchants will never get their phat!


Farewell birthday gifts, no more helping a friend.

No more running nats, *Just where will it end?"

This 1st post was painful, yet I just pressed through.

But I held my breath as I opened number 2.


Trade and drop changes, seems like lots of chatter.

I clicked on the link to see what was the matter.

3k gold pieces is now the trade limit.

No more getting Barrows, unless millions are in it…


Drop parties are out, drop transfers are too.

A gravestone is left if a Fire Giant kills you.

No more getting rich when a noob makes a mistake.

Those items are no longer yours for the take.


I could not believe, in what was to be…

With an unsteady hand, I clicked post number 3.

Wilderness changes? Please say its not so!

Revenant ghosts? Now that's a low blow!


Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter, "Why is it multi?"

If you go solo, you surely will die.

I PK'd for a living, I guess that's now done.

Jagex, you ruined it, its no longer fun.

No more PK'ing, no more easy dough.

No more Runescape, looks like its time to go…

If you liked this post, and I hope that you might.

Copy and paste it, LETS PUT UP A FIGHT!

We can get our Wildy back, if we all stick together.

If Jagex don't listen, we'll all quit FOREVER



I especially could say "Oh yeah i agree" to this part:

What do you think?

Anywho, here's the second one I found:

QUOTE (Death)

Again it is morning,
I awake with a stir,
I get to my computer,
Seeing faint Blurs,

I look at my homepage,
I cry from within,
I couldnt believe,
Jagex still didnt give in,

People still were residing,
To world 66,
The only full world,
Out of 156,

People still rioting,
In Fally Center,
Lines of people saying,
"Down With Jagex, You bastards!"

People playing Runescape,
There weren't too many left,
As people begin to quit,
And reside to World Of Warcraft,

So now i sleep again,
Await the next day,
To look at my homepage,
And See if Runescape is still "GAY"


Anywho, what do you think? How did YOU Feel that month that they said they were doing us better...

They are ****.
I want to write one now.
I'll make a movie in fact... with a theme song sung by a professional singer.
And I'll get a hot ex-booty call to host it.
Not really. Can't be assed.

Words cannot explain how much I miss the old days.

At least before they screwed over the wilderness (and trading, and dueling twice and everything else), but possibly even more so back in the runescape classic days (or maybe that's just enjoying it more when you were a lower level and had more to discover).

Hi everybody,

It has come to our attention that this forum has had a number of "We want the Wilderness back!" threads made.

I can say here and now that the old style of Player vs Player combat will not be returning and we have no intention of changing the Wilderness back to the way it was.

This is not only due to the RWT changes, but also due to our own decision to revamp Player vs Player combat in RuneScape. We even mentioned this in the original Development Diary.

Bounty Hunter, Clan Wars, Fist of Guthix, Duel Arena and even Castle Wars are all still viable Player vs Player combat options.

Many MMORPGs are moving away from the "Kill and Loot" style of play that was popular in older MMORPGs. Bounty Hunter is one of the remaining ways to do this, so the concept has not been totally removed from the game.

Change is inevitable, and those who wish to survive and continue in the environment they want to remain in must learn to adapt.

As always your feedback on this new options is welcome, although we ask you to remain constructive.

Finally, further threads created about this matter will be treated as spam.

That is all.

Kind Regards

Bummer... I knew they didn't plan to bring it back, but that just like... confirms... sad.gif

By Samurai-JM on 13/04/2008
Like I said, Jagex cares too much about their own money to let the RWI traders keep going, so they'll never bring back the good stuff. Ever. That's all its ever been about and I'm sure you all know that, the money. They don't care at all about you or what kind of game you want to play.

By Yingyang06 on 13/04/2008
I never used the old Wildy anyway so im not affected by this. Only thing that pisses me off is the Drop party and drop trading.

By Gusmighster on 13/04/2008
Meh, I got bored. Whipped this up in about 10 minutes, it isn't very good, only skimmed through it. Sorry for mistakes and stoofs. And tbh, I don't feel how I portrayed (sp?) my feelings in this.

QUOTE
What did they do to the game we love?
They've destroyed the fun, the reason we play,
Clans, Pk'ing and free trading are gone,
It was all taken from us, briskly away.

Jagex only cares for the new players,
Those who will supply for the upcomming years,
They won't know of the old RuneScape,
Surely something to replace it will appear?

Jagex tried their best, 3 things did get installed,
Bounty Hunter, Fists of Guthix & Clan wars they were,
Now we see, do they have a chance to compare,
To the old game we loved, or will they continue to deter?

They didn't have a chance, they are nowhere near,
They'd never reach the hights the wilderness obtained,
Is Jagex about to run into some major mole hills,
Or can they keep us all contained?

We tried to fight, we tried to battle,
But Jagex will forever fend us away,
We have no chance against their major buisness,
Runescape was once fun, a game we enjoyed to play.

Now it's all gone, and there's no chance for it back,
The times Runescape gave us were with the very best,
But Jagex went and ruined it all, the fun dissapeared,
Now Jagex doesn't care about us, we are simply just pests.

Sorry but I had a feeling jagex was actually unique. Why the hell do they have to conform? Its telling you something if a game with crap graphics like runescape is so popular, it means being unique is a good thnig. Sure, bring in new oppertunity, but at least keep the old. Its putting together all the old-school players who've paid who-knows-what for membership over the years and telling them to clear off, bringing in newer younger players.

It just goes to show that when someone starts earning money for something, you can't always trust them to do it for the customer, and not the pay.

Nice rhyme gus.

Wow they are seriously thick aren't they?I wonder how much money they have lost out on.

By Troll84 on 06/05/2008
I've seen the first one, was spammed all over RS Forums when the update was released. The second one is new to me ohmy.gif Not as good tongue.gif But still fairly entertaining tongue.gif

I might give one a go, though it really is a bit late now, no? tongue.gif
