[ARCHIVED] Is RuneScape Dying?

[RAF]

That's my honest question. I need to know what's happening, and in my opinion I believe so. The game is slowly declining in user activity and it's quite saddening. I'm not using this as an excuse for the forums slow-down in activity, instead, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to expand the forum into other gaming platforms, and increase our services and more on this forum. Although, I need to know. Would users enjoy Rune Gear more as a whole gaming forum or simple RuneScape?

IF we still had a Runescape section, then anything else added would have no downfall on the forum.

You could maybe "recreate" what HF has, Different lists of games, And then a section for consoles?

It would boost traffic and there's no downside to it.

Runescape has been dying since they originally took out the wild and set trade limits, everyone knows that.

Personally I would have like 7,000 posts if there was a Maplestory or Combat Arms section.

I was thinking, full dedication to other games. As in, we would have a blog for regular console/game discussion and other articles. We'd expand for RuneScape, but also other games too.

Up to you, but I really like that this is really the only big(ish) forum that offers so many Runescape oriented features etc. It's cool, up to you though boss.

We'd still offer RuneScape features, but instead, we'd also focus on other games too.

Such as;
Call of Duty
Halo
Etc.

Or am i thinking differently?

Yes, we'd slowly expand. So for example, ability to link your Gamertag to Rune Gear.

First focus on MMOs then to other games, I think that'd be a good idea.

RE: Is RuneScape Dying?

RuneScape isn't dying in terms of members, just it's now like 90% bots so no one uses forums for discussion etc. In my opinion we should have other gaming platforms and discussions to boost RG activity with new members also.

Would you have to change the forum name? :O

RE: Is RuneScape Dying?

No, the name wouldn't change.

It better not fucking die, it's my way of making IRL money.

RE: Is RuneScape Dying?

I like it so I believe that expansion into other games would be a great idea to. Perhaps when you click into the Counter Strike section the forum theme could change into CSS with like the css background etc?

Would be a nifty feature

RE: Is RuneScape Dying?

If anybody here played in 05-06, you would definitely realize its been dying since than. there is way less interaction with actual people around in the game and hardly anybody legitting skills and minigames,

I think expanding into other games and platforms would be great

RE: Is RuneScape Dying?

I honestly don't care. Just don't let it turn into an Xbox-only, CoD-only forum.
