Runescape,One of the most popular games on the internet.It is so Popular that it competes with World Of Warcraft,nearly the most popular game on the internet!But why dont people see advertisements of Runescape?

I've been playing the computer since i was 4,and i didn't see ONE advertisement for Runescape.Why though?It's REALLY popular,so WHY not make a trailer/commercial for it,or at LEAST an advertisement?

It may cost some money to make one but,for how many Members there are on Runescape,I think they have enough...So why not get one?Infact,it will increase the popularety of Runescape,AND the population of Members,making Runescape even more money than before.

If you know why,or have an idea why post your idea at this forum,ASAP!

Runescape does have trailers on youtube.

 

many years ago som1 told me about runescape on school and that made me a member of the game for almost 3 years long:)

Runescape is for the younger gamers and they go to school and ofcourse talk about it with each other.  Runescape is most of the times someones first mmorpg since most kids that start playing runescape dont know what mmorpg is and most wont play games like free realms since runescape got released at a great time its more known. this is what i think..

Maybe because people who play Runescape don't even know when they post something in the wrong forum?

Runescape has a forum, this belongs there.

LOL I was thinking the same thing.  Why would a game like Runescape need to advertise?  It is a browser based game that is already popular and has millions of players world wide.  So why would they have to, it is a free game to play with the option of paying to drop ads, which many people don't care about anyway.

Yes there are trailers on Youtube,but how would people who dont know about Runescape find it on Youtube?If they don't know about how would they "Search" it on Youtube?

Where else would you like this thread to be posted other than in Runescape -> General Discussion?

LMAO! gotta love the RUNESCAPE ADVERTISERS these days. Now if you venture around these forums, you will undoubtedly see that runescape is not very popular with REAL GAMERS. Browse through the developers corner, and you will see that most consider it a " poor business model" but  do give them credit for their use of miniclip to gain new children to play. Jagex themselves has called their game a " junior mmo" .  Yes, that is right, a Junior mmo for children and heavily advertised their child safety features at E3.

 YES, Runescape is considered the game that those that are not even coordinated enough to play halo can play.

( EVERYONE KNOWS HOW EASY HALO IS) LMAO!

 Point and click much?   u cn go get ur phatz and pk sum no0bz wif 1 h4nd n nut 3v3n h4v3 2 trie!

Better yet, lets repeat the same action OVER and OVER and OVER again and call that skillz! doesn;t matter which skill, it is all the same. point @ tree - do nothing - get logs - go to bank -go back to tree... or mining : point @ rock - do nothing- get ore - go to bank - go back to rock. Or how about fishing : point @ fish spot- do nothing - get fish- go to bank- go back to fish spot.  Sounds like countless hours of exicting, fun entertainment! YAY!

They aren't aiming it at kids, whether you'd like to think that or not. Quoting an article from over two years ago with a different CEO saying it isn't going to prove you right. There hasn't been a 'kid' friendly update in about a year and most of the recent updates have been high level content and a skill which for once doesn't require grind and can use teamwork. You have to look at some of the updates of the last two years. BTW, what is your definition of kid, like the age range.

Yeah, but look who posted it: devillicious. Adults to NOT use -licious at the end of ANYTHING. Also her avatar is a doll and her quote talks about lollipops. Her profile says 29, but I'm guessing 15. Talk about kids!

 I always find it entertaining when I still get carded.. Thank you, you made me feel so young!

You should have seen my previous avatar.. it scared some of my friends, so they chose this one by request. LMAO!

And FYI- Deviliscious is a REAL nickname I have had for many years.  If you really must know about the Lollipops,  That too is an inside joke with one of my friends. You should do further investigation prior to making assumptions.

If they have NOT reinstated the 13+ age rule, they are still directly targeting children.

EVERYONE knows this is a " kids game".. look around:

Kid Gets hacked on runescape

 

aww AKA, you know as well as I do Andrew was and always has been calling the shots.. LMAO - new CEO= he was just throwing out a human shield!  That coward! He has been and still makes the decisions here.

Age range? UNDER 18.  Especially children under the age of 16. ANY human that has not reached adulthood, still  having a " Parent or legal guardian" making all their decisions for them. I personally think that children under the age of 16 should not even be allowed on the internet.

I have looked at their updates in the last 2 years.. Nothing I really cared for. Still haven;t fixed the problem. I still cannot enjoy THIS game with friends due to their severely broken trade system.  On every other game I play I can give my sisters, brothers, and friends anything I wish.. Why would I want to play a game where I can;t even give away the crap I do not want.

After playing for as many years as I have, there was nothing I wanted on the game for myself. stockpiling poorly drawn pixel crap just doesn;t appeal to me. So what am I supposed to do with it? Let it collect pixel dust in the bank?

Can I still give Santa's out at christmas to anyone I want? Can I still give out masks  on halloween to anyone I want? NO- the ingame babysitter won;t let you now!  This game is a JOKE after over a decade of working on it.

Have you ever heard of ANY mmorpg developer, other than Jagex that came out and called their game a " Junior MMO"? ANYONE?

 1.He could have checked my post History.

2. He could have actually read the runescape forums here, where you can find an ACTUAL picture of me. LMAO

3. Or the easiest, He could just ask me.

By His age, you would think he would have learned to think before he " assumes".
