  • Crazy statement from Jagex CEO

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I mean I actually get why he wouldn't do something like that, because there's really no reason to expect games that resemble more like Ponzi scamsto catch on in a place where it's not already entrenched, so it might just turn out to be a total waste of money. But if you look at the quote without that context, he's basically saying the game doesn't need another million players.

Sometimes I wish there's at least some oversight on F2P. While the P2P section of MMORPG is already bad enough, in the F2P part it's literally lie whatever you want because nobody can ever verify anything. Every game has 27 bizillion subscriptions since if you ever have an account you're a subscriber forever.

It depends on the platform, Facebook only tracks unique monthly active users.

I have tried to play these Online RPGs, but it seems like since the 90`s every single one of them I play, or see, is just a clone with slightly different interface gimmicks.

The art styles of these games all seem to be very similar between these games as well; and it`s almost always boring and generic looking. Even when Square tries to make one, they make it with the most boring art styles they have ever put in a game.

Most of these games seem to make no attempt at actually improving the game, but rather just hoping you'll get hooked by the gimmick and spend money. Even games that used to be P2P clearly have a cash shop that doesn't have any semblance of 'fair'.
