The biggest problem with the EOC update I had was the flat out lies from Jagex in the game news. It was clear in the forums that the majority of players didn't want the update, but constantly in the news Jagex said it was popular and most wanted it. It was a lie anyone could see through with a simple two minute search through the forums. It was so insulting and a blatant sign that they didn't give a damn about the players.

[@landmine36]

+Burning Kitsune Mask EoC was mostly mod marks idea, and he refused to not let it be released, in several of his interviews he made it obvious, and went as far as saying it would "Never" be removed either. (and now that legacy mode is a thing, as well as oldsrs, mustve been 1 hell of a hit to his pathetic ego) ofc this was the same guy who said that botbay/w.e program wouldn't ban innocent players giving his word on it, and then 10,000's of players got insta perma banned just for logging in.

[@CaedoRS]

While I personally like EoC, I wish it was never added to the game. It was a combat update hated by an incredibly huge number of players with an even larger number not wanting or even thinking about a combat update in general. It caused more harm than it did good.

[@Fridge_Fiend]

Theres no way i can agree with that. We'd never have arraxor or raids with no eoc it was for the best so every can play the game they want but jagex implemented it poorly at first

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

Jetzido they implemented poorly period. Unplayable for months, forced tens of thousands of loyal players to lose up to 10 years of progress to waste it on a completely different game. A lot of epic, saught after items became worthless as well

[@Fridge_Fiend]

Propane TreeFiddy you cant deny they finally made it better though

[@CaedoRS]

Jetzido Well, it's just an opinion, you don't have to agree :P

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

Jetzido "Finally" won't bring the thousands of players back. I've been playing OSRS for a while now, and I think I'm going to be sticking with that. RS3 left a foul taste in my mouth and for personal reasons, I doubt I'll ever play it seriously.

[@Xspy70]

Am I the only one who hates the graphical update Runescape received? The Art style that is? Back then, the Art style was fitting. The game was looking medieval. Now? Everything is exaggerated. Everything colorful, and unrealistically detailed. Look at the armours for instance. I wouldn't expect everyone to be able to craft such detailed equipment. I would rather expect people following a known template. Everyone looked like a knight because the template was proven. Now - people add all the unnecessary aesthetics to an armour as if it is too easy. It no longer looks medieval, it looks like a WoW clone. Unrealistic details and exaggerated effects everywhere. As if it is a cosplay convention instead of a medieval themed game.

[@aqil2088]

true true but i like the new style armour and weapon though

[@Xspy70]

+Aqil Amran I would rather make them the rare aesthetic versions of standard armour. For instance you can make normal steel armour at level 30, and at level 40 you can craft their fancy versions to show off your skill. But standardizing fancy armour made it a medium and now - nobody really appreciates good looking armour. When everything is fancy - nothing is fancy.

[@aqil2088]

+Xspy70 haha i agree since i just love the old version of the armour helms

[@SaucyLiving]

+Xspy70 I agree with you slightly. I love how pretty the game looks now but i do wish the armor stayed the same. I loved feeling like a knight. And the dragon med helm looked so cool back then (still does but not as good)

Runescape players are probably the most conservative community of all gamers :P

[@Muistimetalli]

Deus Ex Machina It's because this game has had its unique formula for so long. Imagine if Nintendo announced, that okay, the next main series pokemon game is going to be a real time game instead of a turn based game. While that idea would make for a good spin-off, you just can't do such drastic changes. Just look at other franchises, which tried to do a significant change to the formula, such as star fox, and banjo kazooie. Didn't go so well, now did it?

[@mangobonni6828]

Muistimetalli Comparing Pokémon to Runescape is daft, but hey, there's osrs now and both rs3 or legacy. We should be thankful that every player can now enjoy whatever style of gameplay they like.

[@Muistimetalli]

I Love Slutty Rabbits May not be the best example, since runescape is an online game, and pokemon is way older than RS, but both of those games have an unique style, which made them stand out. How about Star Fox and Banjo Kazooie then? No matter what kind of a game, people don't like massive overhauls, since then you're essentially buying a new game, which makes you question: is this really the best game of this type? But yeah, at least Jagex didn't ignore people who didn't like EOC, although legacy has loads of problems for pking. Shields are worthless, dual wielding doesn't make sense, since it makes you risk 50% more, and since you have the same DPS as someone with a 2h weapon, but lower individual hits, you really don't want to go with that. Most special attacks are still useless because of tiers, or being 1h weapons. High hits are way too easy to pull off, and the ideal pure would have 75 att, 1str and 1 def. With any kind of melee-using pker, you want to avoid leveling up strength.

[@fishfillet5555]

Muistimetalli if you want. a better comparison I would say ssbm and ssbb would be a great example. Ssbm is better more skills shile ssbb is lame and easy. Just like eoc and 07.

[@GGMatt]

I Love Slutty Rabbits It's not daft at all. He's talking about the principle of the change, the games don't have to be similar for that to make sense. In any situation involving a community, ripping out the heart of what makes a game enjoyable and changing it is never a good move...

I usually disagree with the #1 but I completely agree with you here. The day they came out with EOC is the day runescape kicked the bucket. Wildy pking was bad and trade limit was fucking horrible (I myself was a merchant) but EOC made the game unrecognizable

[@SepulchureValen]

***** Made it look better, yet there are many other better games compared to Runescape now, since it is like every other mmorpg. The only good thing Runescape has over any other game is probably the quest system, but the rest is shitty as hell.

[@ThreePhase470]

Sepulchure Valen RS really does have a pretty unique quest system, but now that we're comparing MMORPGs, so does Elder Scrolls Online.

[@SepulchureValen]

I have played Elder scrolls online (Even completing the daggerfall covernant questline (half way through the aldmiri one). But I'd still give the best quest system in an mmorpg to Runescape. But that alone isn't really enough to make a game top level or great.

[@daveF1993]

runescape was good because it was simple. EOC was unnecessary and took away why the game was so popular

[@ThreePhase470]

David Ferraro i wouldn't say its the only reason that made rs popular, but it certainly added a different style of combat for sure. either way, the old style of combat is back as legacy mode so no one need miss out.

How the player count decreased drastically, the fishing spots that were full of bots running around in free to play worlds, they were gone after the nuke, completly gone, months later a few came back, but since then, those spots haven't being horribly full of bots. Remember the mining coal spot in falador? After the nuke, hundrends of bots in almost every world were gone, there are videos that have prove of the before and after of those places, go search it up. Eoc, it dint decreased the amount of players no where near as the bot nuke did. Even if it decreased the player count for atleast a year, it started to grow back up because player started to come back, as always.

Old school has bad graphics and even worse gameplay, you can't run around much and the entire combat system is based on luck and not skill. Personally, RS3 is a continuation of RS and will outlive old school in a few years if something isn't done to graphically improve old school.

[@DrArku]

+patrick morin Not a single person who plays OldSchool cares about its graphics, tbh. If we did, we'd play AsianScape 3. No thanks.

[@DrArku]

***** I get your point, and I agree with the '08 graphics thing, if they made it optional, so everyone could choose to use it or not, it would definitely be a nice improvement, and I'd probably use it myself. I guess what I meant was the overly flashy outfits and combat moves and all the stuff you see in EoC today. RuneScape was never like that, and it never should be like that. But I guess we should be happy that OSRS even exists, if not, we'd all probably have quit and never looked back. I thought about playing RS3, but re-learning the whole game all over again just doesn't seem to be worth it now. I don't like what it's become these days, so not much motivation to play it.

[@DrArku]

***** Yeah, I agree. I actually got a visage drop back on RS2... it was 2008 or 09 I think, anyway, it was like 37-38m when I got it. Now basically every newbie and his mother has a DFS, so I felt pretty bad by looking up prices for the stuff I had in my bank.

I quit at EoC personally. Played back in 2005 all the way to EoC. That is the day Runescape Truly died.

[@KarltonTheCat]

Yep. It saddens me, the memories of what was once my favorite game with thousands of hours played.

[@MrDustyClassic]

The evaluation of Combat was just to confusing for me and it definitely ruined runescape. Glad 2007 is back.

[@hapadyamatt3731]

AKA The game gets more casual, and people get mad. Also RS3 sold out That's why I like OSRS

[@helmut4lyfe]

Jagex - Ever since Gower sold out, they just do whatever the fuck they feel will get them $$$. Our voices mean nothing, and never have.

[@2chainz576]

actually no RS3 has regular 80 - 90k players and OSRS has max 60k. Even still RS3 is so shit and piss.

[@2chainz576]

***** i dont think so, its two seperated websites different from each other

[@darcgibson5099]

You do realise that they would "get more $$$" from doing exactly what their fan base wants, right?

[@helmut4lyfe]

oh so the fanbase wanted squeel of fortune and eoc? good 1 hahaha

[@myentropy4163]

The count is all players on Runescape servers including both RS3 and Oldschool. Also, a good deal of the time, Oldschool is the one with the majority.

[@WilliamAncich]

elijahizere Don't be a Jamflex Apologist.

[@WilliamAncich]

***** Objectively maybe not, but you can make multiple arguments to one as to why these updates were terrible. Just how many did you enjoy? >_>

[@WilliamAncich]

***** Uh, no. It is true that you would never reach a consensus, but an update where the majority are upset for good reason is arguably a bad update. Good updates are those that players enjoy and contribute to the development of the game, a bad update is one that pisses off a lot of people that has little to no value to the player base or game. Ex. Runespan? Bad update. Introduces nothing but a semi-afkable xp orgy that completely shatters the achievement of the skill.

[@elijahizere]

***** really weird reply haha

[@WigWoo1]

I don’t like the update that made all the music orchestrated

[@jazzratoon]

They should add a classic option. Tho I don't mind it.

[@nmazer]

Same!

[@Donorito]

I'm playing rs3 right now, I unlocked some of the older tracks. So they are still in the game I guess

[@StanwoodSpartans]

I remember when World 1 everybody traded in varrock, in world 2 everybody traded in fallydor. Aww yes good times merchanting God rune armour behind varrock.

[@marcuswahl6474]

Micro transactions and eoc is what killed rs2, eoc should've been a different server.

[@R0ccojas0n]

Marcus Wahl community killed Runescape actually

[@HektiiKGamingAU]

EOC killed Runescape....

[@ohski8574]

Why and how. RS3 has more concurrent players than OSRS atm. I would just like to know how EoC killed RS. I played before and I play now and I think that EoC was bad at first but necessary and got better over time as it got the right feedback. but please be civilized and explain simply "why" i just want to know. i gave you my views, i want to know yours

[@zach071591]

If you haven't played EOC since the update, just stop talking. Runescape's combat system is SCORES better than the shit it was back in the day. Point...click....point click...

[@GoddangotJohn]

you wanna know why? because it was unique and tradition to how the game was. it was not EOC or RS3 that made the game popular it was the " point...click....point click..." that made the game popular. yes the the player count has w significantly since 07. anyone who "claims" to have played since then could see that. So if that is not proof enough that the game has gone down hill. Then I don't know what is. And if an update can cause this to happen, then yes it is a crappy update, no ifs ands or buts.

[@sashimicheetah]

Nah I like it.

[@gryphon8023]

then osrs revived it

[@Bluespoose]

If they made a pre-eoc game I would stop my life and start playing that. Thumbs up if you want a pre-eoc game.

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

EoC/Rs3 was a completely different game, unlike RSC transition to RS2. It should have been offered as a new, separate title instead of forcing veterans to try and adapt. Killing Jad became a Dragon-slayer-difficulty task, gameplay mechanics were forcefully and haphazardly changed, and, agree or not, the game, mechanics and graphics were broken for months before it even was REMOTELY playable. The management team in charge of forcing players to switch games should have been sacked ago.

[@beware_ofdogg]

Coming out with OSRS was such a brilliant move on Jagexs parts. So happy it happened.

[@ThatAnnoyingBird]

I kind of wish the Wilderness was still gone. I miss the days between 2007 and 2011 where there were "bounty servers" where people can fight in the Wildy, while others on the other servers can explore without the fear of being ambushed. Even on the lowest-population servers I still find myself quaking in fear that someone will hunt me down.

[@supremacysammy3173]

but you would rather have revenants that lethally attack on sight no matter what?

[@YTKhaos]

The weird thing is that ive been around for all of these. I remember the riots, and participated in them. Eoc was the final nail in the coffin for me.

[@sleven8013]

Shout-out for using Harmony, my favorite runescape tune!

[@leetvibe2]

The worst update of rs history is EOC.

[@leetvibe2]

...and summoing wasn't a bad update :)

[@Rockguy42]

Legend Pride i know right?! but still i think it wasnt released right nothing is used in summonin except for a group of them

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

Legend Pride I think summoning was hated because it was basically a requirement for no-rules PvP....and an expensive one at that

[@patrickbutler2671]

Eoc was a piss poor update and Jagex knows it. Proof of this is the introduction of old school rs. They knew they fucked up and were going to lose half their player base if they didn't do something. So they used os to keep people playing.

[@BTC-MT]

EOC wasn't as bad as it was fucking stupid how they implemented it. EOC in 2015 imp is way better than the old system, but the way they threw it on all the players and didn't give us any choice was dumb.

[@ipvp4fun]

Patrick butler No jagex is just a company and needs to live with the customer is always right mentality for people who are entitled little cunts.

[@ripppking]

Don't forget the part where they change everything back years later when it's already to late

end of runescape for me was when EoC was implemented.

[@erickchristensen746]

I personally loved the summoning skill during it's original release. I know longer play Rs3 outside of making money for Bonds, and stick to Oldschool, but still wish it came to Oldschool because it was something I always wanted in Runescape and loved it. I do understand that many people didn't enjoy it and it will never come to Oldschool, but we all have our opinions

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

I just remember one time I logged in and it looked like a completely different game. I had to do a tutorial as if I was a new player, but it wasn't the tutorial island I remembered. Everything looked different, even the bronze armour and weapons. At that point I stopped trying.

[@IYIarco]

EOC killed PVP to make skilling more interesting. The added 0s to damage made it underwhelming to max hit. The split OSRS and RS3 made it so the game and its mini-games are empty. I miss house parties the most. Now they're nonexistent..

[@flyingcows547]

Another player that quit after EOC. ruined it for me. Was 113 combat with years of playing. Starting a new level 3 account in osrs was NOT about to happen 😂 Still one of my favorite games ever bc of the memories I have from it. Used to be amazing. I miss it

[@tomassheva]

Carlos Rojas whats bc?

[@13thTemplar718]

try old school runescape, it is before all of the changes but it has a grand exchange and shift click dropping :)

[@M2Validated]

Wow. I used to look up to you when I played back in 2005 man. Glad to see you’re still around

[@MingTwoG]

The EoC update really killed it

[@bonzerrulz]

EoC killed half the active players on the game. Together EoC + OSRS can't make up half of what pre-eoc was after botnuke. And that was a shittier version of '11/'10 scape anyways ('10 scape was the best. Rarely were idiots/shitty people rich/good)

[@Piraja27]

Nirav Autar Ehh... 2010 RS lemme remember that one... oh yeah... bots. Everywhere, bots over here, bots over there, bots over everywhere! You couldn't make decent money in that time unless you already were rich enough to do the limited PvM or staking. Slayer was terrible money, even dragons barely were worth it...

[@Yomuju]

Piraja27th / Mestasi I liked being able to alch things for profit though. Lol. Bots made supplies cheap as fuck, which made skilling cheap as fuck. Agreed though, bots were a problem, but it's not like they didn't have some benefits.

[@Piraja27]

Mees Smit No they were like 2k... I remember way too well because I killed black dragons for money. Also, show that proof of that acc with several 200mil exps, 120s. :)

The game became so unrecognizable from the game I started to play in 2004, it became such a different game that it completely lost its charm and simplicity

[@angeloferrarinibuttermann6273]

i actually liked the non PVP wilderness. I spent 95% of my time there Rev Hunting w/ friends. it was super fun and i quit after they killed rev hunting

[@HateMyself247]

I'm with you, I posted my own comment about my hatred for PVP in the wilderness before I read your comment. I guess I'm not the ONLY person in the world who liked it after all.

[@angeloferrarinibuttermann6273]

yeah i mean there still were pvp worlds, and the wildy was still dangerous as it's supposed to due to revenants. i guess people voted based on nostalgia.

[@supremacysammy3173]

revenants were too annoying and pking is fun to do and watch, also I started in 2009 and I still like pvp wild more

[@Vulcano7965]

Oh yeah, rev hunting! So much fun for so little reward! :D

[@TheandroidR]

10. I can see why people would not like this update, but I'd rather have runespan than have 4-6 months of my life gone for 99 rc. 9. Lol summoning is not bad at all... Also, people quit because a new max combat level? 8. I feel like I'm one of the few people who like the new skillcapes... I hate the sholder pads and front tassels. 7. I don't see why x10ing some things is a big deal... People quit.. because of a cosmetic update? 6. Ok yeah I also hated bounty hunter. 5. Solomans is cosmetics, doesn't change gameplay much. Also you can just buy soloman items with Bonds in game. 4. Yeah spins suck, I hate them too.. The thing is, any rare item takes like 1/1k or more, 200m is 1/5k or more. Don't get me wrong, I also hate it. 3. Trade limit was shit, but scamming was basically gone, still hated it though. 2. Wildi removal killed a big part of the game, I really didn't like it. 1. EOC is the best update that ever happened... Also the new ui is 100x better than the old.

[@frozen_2474]

TheandroidR that is pretty much exactly how i feel, although i do not like the new skill capes, i turned the old style on.

[@TheWeedlover2]

I Agree with most of this, except for EoC. No I do not hate EoC, I didn't like it at first but now that I know how to use it, it isn't so bad. The reason I say EoC wasn't the best update ever is simply because it divided the community on a scale larger than any other update. The people who bitched about it can go to OSRS, or Legacy mode on RS3 now though, but obviously that won't stop them from bitching about it. Can't wait to get called a WoW fag or something for not hating it.

[@Vogel100]

+TheandroidR The new UI is unusable.

[@theinnocentpotato5382]

+Fabian Machielsen You can make your own UI now.

[@Vogel100]

The Innocent Potato Not really. The new UI is very limited in what it can do. You can't make the old UI for example. Or maybe you can, but it's just too hard to do. It is more mobile at the cost of being much harder to use. The most important part of a UI is being easy to use, so I think that's just a bad trade-off in this case. It becomes unnecessarily difficult to use in order to become unnecessarily mobile. You could do everything you needed to do with the old UI and it was all already in a place you could easily reach. For the new UI it's hard to find what you're looking for and it's hard to find a good place to put it to use again later on. And you're not even free to put it in any way you want because they didn't even go all out with the mobility thing if they were doing it anyway. Like I said in the beginning, you can't even remake the old UI in the new UI, and that's just one example of what it can't do. At least, I don't think you can.

[@rionn2]

EoC was made to attract lots of new players, hence more income, and is algo a big "fuck you" to us older players.

[@TypicalWhiteAsianBoy]

#7 multiplied damage/hitpoints is probably the thing i hated most and still hate the most.

[@TypicalWhiteAsianBoy]

***** Good point. I still don't like it though..stuck in the past lol

[@13thTemplar718]

i think it's just asthetic, it is much more worrying to have 1/10 health than 100/1000 health even though the next hit could kill you either way

[@MikeOxhard69420]

EOC in my opinion is absolutely terrible.

[@MikeOxhard69420]

***** yes I have played EOC, I just said it's absolutely terrible not I don't play anymore, I only play on legacy on legacy only worlds

[@Lindyn773]

You forgot that with trade limit they destroyed random drop parties, since you were only able to see a certain value of items dropped on the ground.

[@invertedfreak]

yeah, EOC basically was the final nail in the coffin for me

[@Eyoballin]

Not only is EOC terrible, its pay to win. You simply pay to have the best armors and weapons and such through spins etc its a fucking joke even if i slaved 200 hours on that game another guy can just buy his way in 10 hours and have a better acc its ridiculous

[@Assassin-me9vd]

Noo, lol You try to make money with spins, aint gunna happen

[@Tseitiii]

Meek RS3 isn't pay to win at all. Pay to win means that you gain an unfair advantage by buying stuff with real life money. In RuneScapes case, that would be for example tier 99 weapons that couldn't be gotten without irl money. Is there anything like that? No.

[@shuhang94]

ItsZasca it also depends on ur definition of win. What abt those who are fighting for high scores? They simply just buy exp. And how is it even worth playing when u can buy ur skills to 99s? Go watch afriend's video on buying a max account wtf?

[@anayaj6355]

shuhang94 right because spending thousands of dollars to get 200m is so worth it. For 1 skill lol. Yeah of course u can buy a few mil bxp but in these days that really isn't much. 99s don't mean shit. It's all about 120s and 200ms and idk about u but not everyone is a successful youtuber that can blow alot of money on treasure hunter. But hey if u got the money then by all means let ppl buy bxp, it's that their money. U shouldn't let other ppl's experience in the game affect urs. I had to get 99 agility in ape atoll many years ago, was about 35k exp an hr. Now ppl can use silverhawks. I'm not going around saying rs is pay to win. I couldn't give 2 shits how ppl get their lvs. I had fun and still have fun playing rs the way I like it. After all I play for my enjoyment now others. I wish more ppl would feel the same

[@Syrxen]

Regardless of price... Pay to win is pay to win.

[@ZergRex64]

All these people complaining about EoC, i can just imagine them being "omg Jagex, why did you make combat so worse, now i have to actualy press buttons instead of just auto-attack afking whole game".

[@tnm1697]

I enjoyed EOC actually. I've been playing the game since 2006 and my only true complaint was the very vanilla point and click combat. EOC gave me options to tackle a fight how I wanted to. Instead of clicking on the enemy and hoping RNG damage rolls would be in my favor. The skills and special attacks were so refreshing. I understand many people would be upset by this view or say I'm not a true Runescape player. I went through Tutorial Island. I know and value the game's early history, but as with all things in life, change must occur or it will die. And I do not wish for a game I've valued so much to leave this world

[@Leafshockeyftw]

And yet OSRS is doing better than RS3

[@Leafshockeyftw]

Some things never need to change

[@ben69028]

Old school runescape gets updates than are not even in runescape 3. Becuase old school is doing better and has more players you might say that is not true. well you are sort of right runescape 3 has records of more players but you see those accounts are not actually players more than half of runescape 3 is bots olschool runescape has updates and areas for bots closed of and handles it much better.

[@xxNATHANUKxx]

+Deuueaugh Fish although old school is better I play rs3 every now and then and there is no where near as much of a bot problem

[@Chewy427]

lol theres more bots on oldschool because it doesnt have the ultra anticheat that rs3 has

[@Nards_1997]

EOC made me quit. i sometimes play osrs just out of nostalgia. i played rs from 2004-2012 when eoc was released.
