Will Runescape Last 11 More Years?

[SanctumX]

Just thought i would ask to see what other sythe users think.

 

[Psychonaut Soul]

I would think there would be a sort of "rs3" or maybe they will eventually require you to download it once it becomes to much for the browser..kinda like Warrock or something

 

[Snowver]

I'll be surprised if it pasts 2-3. They're wrecking it completely..soon they minimum reqs on your comp to play will be so high...the gameplay is slowly going down..last good quest was wgs and look at the date..

 

[Deadmau5]

It's all up to the community.

 

[sm321]

It might. It all depends on funding. They've currently been spending money on banning all the bots, and as a result, have added more adverts and doubled the membership price (if you buy from them directly). As for 11 years, that's a long time to look ahead. It currently holds a guiness world record for "the worlds most popular free MMORGP". So as it is, the chances of them continuing is quite high.

 

[SanctumX]

nice answers

 

[destroynoobz]

people asked this 10 years ago 5 years ago ect.. and the answer is simple it's yes as long as the demand is there it will be going on and its easy to bring little kidsi n

 

[ifh]

Yes. Even if its popularity crashes (which I doubt) they can still quit updating it (or much more rarely) and it'd still be profitable even if only a fraction still plays it.

 

[DaltyF]

Probably, but it's been getting worse for years, yet it's still appealing to someone.

 

[Rampage-Penetrate]

Once it is running out of funding, they will simply cease to update it and lower the number of runescape worlds to a much smaller number, and let it live, kind of like what they do with RSC right now. The game will never really die IMO.

 

[Asharm]

I think it will downsize greatly and updates happen alot less. As JaGex is currently working on a new game similar to RS but in a more futuristic setting I believe.

 

[SanctumX]

great answers guys/girls keep them coming love seeing your responses

 

[champion9567]

Yes, with the lame and useless updates that make you lag even more, i doubt runescape will last for another2-4 years.

 

[IzzyTheSellz]

@Asharam

Stellar-Dawn Is supposed to launch at the end of the year or early 2013...

Its only 18+ i think.

 

[Sokil59]

Yes, it will because people have doubted it would stay for this long and it has.

 

I'd say no. Its slowly losing support as it is.

 

[SanctumX]

wow can't believe its almost 50/50

 

[Manpons unite]

I dont think so, its been on the decline for the past few years, not sure why that would change with all these crappy updates

 

[ll champion]

I'm not entirely sure. Why don't we just wait and see?

 

[iRobbie]

As long as a decent amount of people continue to play, I'd say yes. If they stop making money, no.
