I think it will probly be dead unless jagex make it into a game thats downloadable or on a disc and give it a complete overhaul
1 year:andrew gower dead
5 years:zezima dead and all zezima fan's quiting
10 years:runescape=dead
yea but look at WoW almost everyone is at level 80... it goes hell of a lot faster to get to 80 in WoW then 138 in runescape... and they do make new skills now and then... i dont think runescape will die in 10 years... you still got so many mini games and there is new quests quiet often, and pvp system... i think that it will be much alive in 10 years... maybe not jagex owned but it will still be alive...I dont think RS will be around in 10 years because look at this. There are several people with 99 in every skill.
If rs were to be around in 10 years around 1 in every 5 player would have lvl 99 in every skill almost everyone will have all the quests done, etc...

Those graphics look a bit more expensive than Runescape. Runescape may have its lower standards in some areas, but $5 is my kind of mmorpg. I would actually reconsider playing if I had come into the game after it was $6+.
This may be Jagex way of attracting players that want a higher quality game. This is going to be a Runescape alternative, not a replacement.
