You aren't because you broke the rules... again. Why other people left are problems we're trying to address in this very topic. A problem he is trying to address and has very clearly underlined. If you could actually come out of bitch mode you might see that.

You expect me to be active without having anything to do in-game? As I've said, at least bring back the economy.
I can see now that you're ignoring the whole point of my recent post and trying to change the topic.

What can we do to increase the player base? What do you suggest? Should we be patient for RS5.2? In my opinion, if we get some kind of an economy in RS5.2, many options for business, etc. we'll be able to increase the player base significantly. Do you agree with me, or you think that some serious changes have to be made, such as implementation of this rule?

[Huntsman]

While I agree to the changes, bringing up people's activity as a completely irrelevant counter-argument is really an ass move, to be frankly honest. I've noticed a pattern of bringing up player's activities to shut up opinions that are not liked.. I mean, if a player doesn't like something, his activity will obviously decrease. Weighing ones opinion by the hours he spends in game is plain stupid.

Why are you talking out your ass if you do not even know what RS5.2 will bring in? Every suggestion made in the past months has been considered by HQ and the development team is really working hard on it, but people like you who moan at them every time just add more delay to it.
I understand there isn't much to do in-game, nor do i want to login every hour of the day to sit and stay afk probably, i login whenever i feel like i can give a positive contribute to the server, just yesterday i had multiple interactions with a stranger, a cop and with my homies. My suggestion is, if you don't want to stay online you are not forced to, but at least do not moan at them because they're trying to make you roleplay more.

RS4 discussed over and over for months, I would have thought people were over it by now.

[Sawyer]

I love the fact that even if the majority praise RS4, there are still few guys popping out saying "start RPing, fuck the ecomony", "you are here to RP and not bad girl about money", yet the biggest RP scene they ever had was the super stereotypical money farming traffic stop in Idlewood, when they issue a ticket of the super rpish price of $500 ARD, after they have stalked you for 5 minutes because that's what is the most interesting thing they keep doing the recent years.

Other on that, really glad to finally see this.

Do you agree if you actually read the forums you'd see we have RS5.2 coming out which aims to do everything you just mentioned, and has those serious changes.

God if people weren't so special we really could make progress. It's so annoying to come here each and every day and honestly feel my IQ bleed out my eyes at what I read.

economy, economy, business

Because everything revolves around fake pixelated money doesn't it?

Don't know why fake cash means so much to people on a roleplay server, sure it can be used to enhance RP, but it isn't everything, and hearing everyone talk about money, money, money is doing my head in.

they weren't in rs4, everyone had what they wanted and roleplayed, why? because the economy was sufficient for people to handle losses and move on.

Well of course it's still being discussed because from RS4 server they went to broken RS5 with reseted accounts and no features, we all do remember how first, six months(?) of RS5 had 5 guys online and only fireman job that actually worked.

Well it's a fact that a lot if not most revolves around the money, it did revolve around the money in RS4(opening groups, buying fast cars, Ammunations, huge mansions and HQ's) people are most relaxed and happy when speeding through LS in their Infernus with 2000$ armour on and bank account substantial enough to buy a plane and what not. Those who are willing to play without money are a minority which player count proves, people are materialistic even when it comes to a game, that's just how it is.. they want to role play a big shot mayor or mob boss not some trailer park trash or a hobo.

I'm pretty sure it was more like somewhere near two years of stagnation after the beta was cleaned up, with the (temporary) inclusion of trucking being the only noteworthy feature that I can recall. Teddy's sitting here working his ass off trying to clean up the mess created by all that and yet we still have doubters. We should feel lucky he didn't leave permanently when he went away for a while. If I were him I would've left without another word a long time ago. And that's why I'm never applying for any sort of admin position here

I don't usually check this topic since it was created and used to read a few replies only and almost each time i check it i read useless posts and just read one or two posts which could change something and achieve the continuous roleplay between each others on the server and of course to stop avoiding\ignoring the roleplay, the reason why i replied now is that i have something to say which might be useful in my opinion.

Something which some people don't understand\know and they must understand it, the roleplay is not by a something difficult to do nor understand, start your character on the server, build it with your own ideas, put more effort to build a character for something unique and different among others and build your background and start roleplaying your character based on your background which you created.

You can roleplay in game as long as there is at least one player with you involved in the roleplay, i assume nobody would roleplay alone perhaps i'm wrong however, you don't need 1,2,3,4,....20 players around you to roleplay and to say at the end .. WOW! that was an incredible roleplay because there were 20 players in the roleplay .. No, you don't need that virtual money to roleplay, you also don't need hundred of groups existed to roleplay with them, you don't need RS5.2 so you get back active, you just need to start by yourself, think for a good roleplay idea and share it with your friend(s) and start it, if you have no ideas, then search for one, try to interact with any player and try to produce any roleplay between you and him and to be honest we sometimes get in a bad mood and don't roleplay at all and just drive around, at that time you are not forced to /q yet you are forced to not avoid or ignore any roleplay from other players.

All i want to say is have fun and enjoy your character in game with your friends, no matter you lose or win no matter you have money or not no matter the server has 100+ players everyday logging in or just a maximum 10 each day, i hope you do get me.
