The problem is that EoC came out much too fast. I literally felt like I was playing a new game. And EoC was big enough to make people quit, like actually quit, even when PKing first went out, people quit but they were still lingering around, but I went a year or two without even going on the runescape page. It basically got to the point where it's like, ok time to move on.
Legacy gives me some hope, I will buy membership but just reading the forums and browsing the site I'm a bit disappointed, not all the new updates, but the cheap updates that make this game so much easier, I remember when leveling up too forever and when you saw a person with a 99 cape it was kind of a big deal. But now, it seems like the sell ways to level up quicker and it's just a bit disappointing if you ask me.
I'll give legacy a try, but I feel like RS3 is everything that jag mods said runescape would never be.
