As a Englishmen do you get offended by the term redreck? I just want to prove a point to the proud white people that have dignity and self respect?

I'm not white so obv not, but 99% of white Englishmen wouldn't get offended by that.

i don't live in the UK but my guess is that like in most EU countries they come from the Maghreb countries and maybe also turkey.

About 50% have Pakistani ethnicity, then the rest are mainly from Bangladesh, India, Somalia and Turkey. Though a lot of Turks are non-religious here.

Thx, thats what I thought after I heard they have so many sharia courts but at the end its their own decision and such courts exist since several decades.

Nobody really cares about the Sharia courts here, except for these nutters.

I stand corrected, never expected pakistani would account for such a large proportion of the immigrant community. It is actually quite surprising.

I just looked it up and it seems I was close, 42.5% according to the 2001 cencus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_England#Demography_and_ethnic_background

Btw it's the Muslim community, not the immigrant community.

I have never played runescape. I was an oldschool UO player and I love the idea of being able to play a quality sandbox but none exist (except eve but I dont like being a spaceship).

Is runescape a quality sandbox? I know it has years of development and still has a big pop.

What are these changes? Why are people excited? Does it make it more of a sandbox?

Thanks!

Yeah, its a good sandbox as in you can do whatever you want and there are loads of options (though people will disagree)

Basically in late 2007 Jagex removed PvP from the wilderness (one of the best/popular parts of the game) and removed free trading so that you basically had to trade an item to someone exactly for what its worth, all to stop RMT, botting/macroing and scamming. Loads of people didn't like this and so quite a few people stopped playing, but still a small amount compared to the total amount of players. People have been complaining about this update for 3 years now and I think Jagex finally have the technology to combat RMT/bots (so they say) so they are now bringing it back by the looks of it.

Some videos of the old wilderness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHRikbRgS3g  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOqPvkWv5c

The old wilderness had single and multi zones, and it wasn't always as filled up as those videos suggest, I just chose those as they show how popular it was at times.

Those updates aside though, its still a great sandbox which you should at least try. It gets positive reviews from most reviewers.

You all are crying up a storm over a quest being remodeled.

 

Grow up.  Then again, I guess you are still playing Runescape, so that may not be possible.

Yet there are a bunch of grown people playing facebook games and other games like Hello Kitty online (alot of its userbase are successful career women and men for some reason, I'm talking about suit and tie business people btw). Are these the type of people you call a child? Are they grown?

I haven't played Runescape in years, but even I can see the bigger picture, which is that they are not only deleting a quest, but nerfing the ftp content in hopes of not just gaining new players, but members. Whats next? They already haven't added in REAL quests to the ftp list in years. Most likely the ftp quests are going to continue to be deleted until there's almost no content, forcing people to just buy a membership instead of jumping directly into ftp or dicking around in ftp. Is this Runescape's first major step toward become a fully p2p game? Who knows. Seems to me they've been working on that since membership launched.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the article says that the NEW players don't carry-out the quest. It doesn't say anything about the majority of players which complete that quest and then some. Common sense tells us that if the new players played any longer they would eventually complete that same quest. I doubt ONE quest turns people away, especially since Runescape was built on its F2P userbase. Even before they added membership Runescape was clocking in with atleast 200k players online at all times and atleast 600k logging in daily.

This is why people that have played the game longer are all over this because we actually know the game's history and looking at the history of Runescape, it's success, deleting an old quest is totally pointless.

So you're trying to say they're currently trying to make F2P worse to get people to become members? Well let's see..In the last year 2 new F2P quests have been created and they've also got a brand new skill. That's more than they added to F2P in the last 5 years. You also missed the bit where they said they're going to REPLACE the Romeo and Juliet quest with a better one. So yeah, I don't get what removing this quest has got to do with gaining more members..

They thought about those PKing/trade updates way before Geoff Iddison came..you think he came and told them to implement those updates 1 month in? Though I agree he was easily the worst out of the 3.

Constant Tedder was good but he never ever really interacted with the community like Mark Gerhard does.

Change whenever it says Runescape to RuneScape, you know, to make it more professional looking. But other than that, it looks promising and I will have a deeper look at it soon.

I see nothing wrong with this. They had facts that the quest wasn't being done by players all too much. It didn't fit in with the lore of RS, so they took it out and put in a quest that had the same basic story but with a RS spin. I don't see why anyone's complaining.

People like to complain and whinge for little reason.

Yeah, they said they're going to do it in other countries after this one.
