Here is a great post I found on the Official RS forums.

Please discuss

Not shutting down... no. But Jagex is starting to move away from Runescape, because of financial reasons.

Let me all tell you something, we all know there are less players today then there was like 3 or 4 years ago.

Just last year Jagex released the Skill Dungeoneering, a skill which essentially incorporates every skill in Runescape, people who master that skill prove to be true masters of Runescape itself. It is pretty much the endgame for skills. (This doesn't mean Jagex can't implement more skills, but I doubt we will see another one any time soon.)

Meanwhile, Jagex has been much more lenient on autoers by giving them exp rollbacks, this is an indication that they wish to keep players in the game, while still punishing rule-breakers. They are losing players, and by not banning players they are making more revenue. Call it "good business".

Now, JAgex has announced they are bringing back the Wilderness and free trade. It is no secret that a lot of players left when these things were removed, Jagex knows this, and with the decreasing player base Jagex is looking for more ways to bring back more players.

I Jagex doesn't get the results they want from the referendum, and not enough players come back or start playing... then we will likely see Runescape start to die off, very slowly. Eventually we would see less updates, quest lines ending, etc.

There would be no point in funding a dying game, Jagex would have no choice but to pull their resources from the game, the company would have to downsize either way though. While Runescape servers would still be up for a long time even after Jagex stops regularly working on Runescape, we would see it die off as more players leave and lose interest

In my opinion, It's coming back without a doubt.
 
It's coming back, and i think it'll have a far more positive effect on the game, which balance out the negative. Atleast the economics of the gp will start to go back to normal.

They make a shit load of money... look at everyone on the members world and time it buy 5 or even 20 bucks for the people who don't pay membership using a credit card.

EDIT:But jagex did fuck there own game and they know it.
 
I don't think that it will "die off" but I do agree that they will stop caring for it as much, or at least think so.

Sure, they have Mechscape coming up, but I don't think that they'd stray away from RS because of a new game of theirs. Think about it, what if they had both games just as successful?
 
If they don't bring it back they'll have so many disappointed/angry members it'd be suicide. Of course it's coming back.

I agree, if for some psycho reason they don't then I could assure them they would lose more members, or have more bots than ever.
 
I agree, They WILL bring it back. That forum post says it all.

I'm glad they're bringing it back, although i have a level 132 maxed mostly i don't PVP. Never gotten a handle on pvping. But i would love to have free trade back to finally be able to get 99 prayer and other skills.
 
i agree with what is said above. it all comes down to the fact that jagex is a buisness, and what do buisness's want? money. how do they get money? customers. inorder for customers to be satisfied, ultimatly, they need to get what they want. they majority of runescape wants as few restrictions as they can get... and honestly, its the same irl. people do not like being restricted. get ready for the wilderness and free trade.
 
yeah, we cant expect much more from jagex. they try to please their customer base, but they *are* a business, so there needs to be compromise.

You don't know how amazing it would be, if Andrew Gower had planned all of this out. Everything from RSC, to RS2, to taking away trade, then to make a poll, then get everyone hyped up about it, then not bring it back. Just so he could troll millions of people.

I can't even imagine how much win that'd be.
 
ALL I CAN SAY IS W00T :D im happy for wildy comming back and that quote seems to be legit..i guess with no qfc cant really believe it that much
