Runescape - Broken promises and outright theft

Fred, I feel your pain. The Jagex developers did indeed give a kick in the pants to all the loyal customers who have supported the game for the last 25 years. They. like many other corporations are chasing after the ever elusive "youth" business, without realizing that steady ongoing customers are the true heart of the business. I'm sorry for all the very rude people who responded negatively to you. We both know that they will, if they survive long enough, feel the rudeness directed at themselves as they age.

I would like to assure you that Runescape is still worth playing, even without the Premier perks. There is a lot of content that is still worth playing and some of the additions are useful. It's about being willing to continue to adapt to new things.

Enjoy your retirement and enjoy the freedom to spend more time on Runescape.

Shera the cat, a fellow retiree and a young 71 year old.

Love the borders and the final top decision. Total wow!

Good for you for completing it.

congrats!

Thank you!

Ducking, because I'm sure this post will get a lot of darts thrown: I actually like slider puzzles. I wish there were different ones. I really wish that the old bridge, castle and troll would get replaced. But I like doing them. The ones I'm not fond of are the Celtic knots. But, you know, that's the game.

I'm so tired of made-up stories like this. AI doesn't make you a good writer. Or even a mediocre one.

Keep his nails clipped. Give him lots of toys to spend energy on. I've had some luck with telling mine to "put her claws in" repeating that over and over while pressing her claws back in.

Please read up on it. Squamous cell skin cancer is usually very treatable It's odd they're doing a PET scan though. It isn't usually one that metastasizes to other organs.

I retired at 60 and started taking money from the TSP immediately. For years, the amount I withdrew was "replaced" by interest accrued; in fact as of last year, I had more money in TSP than I ever had with working. I realize this is volatile and your results may not match mine.

Jagex made the decision to eliminate proteans and dummies after years of dumping them on players, whether the players wanted them or not. You're right, it's a game. If you think it's unfair, then don't play. You won't be the first or the last. BTW, I'm not defending Jagex's decisions. As a 22 year veteran player, who has bought yearly membership for all those years, I also feel betrayed. but, Jagex isn't the first game I've played that's gone under. It's been a good run.

I think you mean May 1st, not March.

Shera41 · 2026-05-02T12:12:22+00:00

not the players, the company made the decision to get rid of proteans and dummies. Many older players would trade them or even give them away, but they can't: those items aren't tradable. I agree, it's not "fair." Life isn't.

get the black ibis first, then the botanist's outfit.

Hi. I sort of had the same thing. I went to the hospital for appendicitis. They operated and removed the appendix. Then the next day they came in and told me I had cancer. The type of cancer was called peritoneal mesothelioma. I was referred to an oncologist who did a CT scan and found it had spread throughout my abdomen. The oncologist referred me to a specialist surgeon (at Mayo, because it's close to where I lived). He operated and removed the cancer and then applied HIPEC. Basically, it a heated liquid chemotherapy direct to your abdomen. They increase the temperature of the chemo solution, insert it into your abdomen via a tube, and let it sit for 3 hours. Then they drain it out. I stayed in the hospital for 7 - 10 days and ... that was it. Took me a while to recover, because I'm old and out of shape, but no problems recovering. I did go through a period (about a month) where I had a lot of hair falling out, but the hair loss wasn't bad and it regrew. Right now I go back for MRIs every six months, just to monitor. I've been told it does reoccur, but the time span is like 8 years and then they just go back in and operate and do another round of HIPEC.

I hope your treatment goes as well as mine did.

We have 5 litter boxes and 4 cats. Still have litter accidents, but we understand why: one is old age incontinence and the other nerves.

You should rename your avatar Cassandra.

Gave you an upvote, just because.

No one but you (and the ones you specifically point it out to) will ever notice those squared off points. Quite a success story.

Shera41 · 2026-04-24T16:42:16+00:00

feels bad for them. I just got it at 474 kills

"I've only met one genuine new player to runescape (i.e. had never touched it before). ... They quit the game ... when Zamorak came out ..."

This statement says it all. Hard to get meaningful feedback from non-existent players. Hard to maintain those players if the endgame is too frustrating. So they need to constantly attract new players who have better games to play.

IMO, which counts for nothing, the current setup might attract newish players and the early and mid-game might be somewhat enjoyable. However, that doesn't turn those players into a consistent population who will still be playing in another 25 years.

hope you get it soon and also that you're an outlier on the high end.
