This is cancer INDEED! so disgusting how they f*cked up!
from 100k to 40k, yep!
So sad to see it dead, but well, that is JAGEX's fault for basically murdering the game, by ruining it with NONSENSE updates, NOBODY but extreme-jagex-fanboy ass lickers love! (as you can see on the forum, they go on EVERY anti-eoc and troll & flame as hard as possible, while the OP is trying to explain his opinions...)
I GAVE eoc a chance, but the first day of it, I instantly found it sooo boring, I couldn't play. all the rune, black, addy armor I had can't even be used because they changed stuff that didn't need to be changed.
And as you can see, the Jagex-fanboys try to claim that elimination of bots is the reason why the game died, no. In 2010 until EOC came, I had sooo many people online at most times, now they are all dead. Nobody ever comes online anymore, 1 and 1 but not 5-10 on each list as it used to be.
proof of how RS is dead. and people loved the 2008-2011 RS much more, because they DID stick to it for 3-5 years! The jagex-lovers say we can't accept change? Wrong. It didn't need to be changed... it was fine the way it was, as there were much much many people that played PRE-EOC. And now 90% of worlds have under 200 people. 2011 = 50-60% over 200 people circa.
