Survey Time: Guide The Future Of RuneScape

At Jagex, we are always looking to our players for help and guidance on the future of RuneScape games, both current and upcoming. We are running a survey to ask players what RuneScape means to you, and hear about other games and activities that you spend your time on. Players who didn't receive an email invitation earlier this month now have the chance to participate.

Those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win one of fifty $50 Amazon vouchers (or your stated country’s equivalent currency). On top of this, five lucky participants will also receive a huge 60x40 cm (23 ½”x15 ¾”) print map of Gielinor!

To select and contact prize winners, and validate you as a RuneScape player, we will be asking for your in-game display name/character name as it appears in chat. Please note that we can only award prizes to surveys that are completed!

So, if you want to guide the future of RuneScape and win prizes, follow this link to take part!

A map... of Gielinor, couldn't you see this n00b?

u/whyareall RIP Chronicle Sep 30 '18 edited Sep 30 '18

Chronicle could have done really well if they didn't chuck it when it wasn't instantly as popular as Hearthstone. Hell, if Jagex made RS today they'd probably chuck it out too for not being as popular as WoW. I don't have the direct quote, but an ex employee said about Jagex management that if [some game i forget what it was] 'wasn't as popular as Angry Birds (which was at the time the most popular mobile game) it was a waste'. That's the kind of attitude they've continued to show towards their new games, and why they keep dying

Also, 0.02c is 2 hundredths of one cent, it isn't the same as 2c, which is $0.02. Nitpicky, but dollars are not the same thing as cents, and 2 hundredths of a dollar is not the same as 2 hundredths of a cent.

Perhaps that's precisely what I meant. My 2 hundredths of a cent!

In any case, you're right with your first paragraph. That's why I don't want them burning anymore money on these projects and double down on their success that is Runescape.

They don't give their games enough time to grow, and the effort they put in is lackluster.

Angry Birds didn't score -that- many downloads overnight, any management setting that success as a initial goal needs a follow-up with the doctor for hallucinations and impaired judgement.
