Menaphos caused a massive content drought, but we still got dribbles of content like hydrix dragons and other small tidbits

After this we had 8 weeks of patch weeks, then a video apologising and stating how the "expansions model" wasn't working.

 

The expansions model was no content for 3 months and then a huge priff/menaphos 'scaled' amount of work released with a ton of sh*t to do, not always a large scale city, but the idea of that much work.

It go scrapped, and since then we have still had minimal to bugger all content aside from a constant stream of MTX as always, and an actual content update every 3 months, small medium and in the case of arch, Large.

 

At this time, we are at 8 patch weaks, with the claim of pushing "ninja updates" as actual content and people have become complacent with that, Ninja fixes and updates have always been a thing alongside updates and patch weaks, and are now being slated as if they're actual content updates.

 

Invention released and a month later we got a quest, a month after we got gwd2 and then another quest the month after, both large scale quests (nomads elegy and river of blood) + another quest the month after that too..

 

Divination was released in 2013 at the end of august. A month prior we had the release of Rs3 as we know it. the month after its release we got the daemonheim task set, and still barely a month and a bit after we got a quest, (birthright of the dwarves) a grandmaster quest. then that same month (october) we got Sirenic armour and another quest (novice) and the month after that we got Barrows rise of the six followed by the announcement of the next skill (Inventor - buildable t90 2h weaponary, soul weapons, level up to X tier) obviously very deviated from what we got but still, a teaser into what was to come.

 

and then if we go back further it just becomes more of a muddy mess of the slew of content and updates we once received before and after vs what we get now.

Currently we are at the content drought stage and have been for a few years, we get a ;mega; update, followed by 8-12 weeks of patch weaks, or hidden mtx events covering as 'content', For all the money Jagex is making, for the team size that I believe is no less in size compareable to the 2012 team.

Osrs has a lot less devs and still somehow constantly pushes constant decent updates of sorts.

 

Have we moved back to the expansions that so miserably failed? Where are any of the jmods answering what or why there has been such huge content droughts, why BTS was scrapped (but tbh 2 months now of bts saying "patch week and ninja fixes" really isnt going to motivate anyone to want to play!)

How did we stray from constant quality content, to the dribbles we get now and everyone acts very complacent with it, They say mobile takes up resources, but mobile is technically avaliable on android already.

So why are so many resources being put into channels that just arn't benefiting the game, Mobile could have been a big thing if it released with OSRS, or if it wasn't made avalaible to any phone owner with an android operating system, it has not much going for it now aside from IOS and I feel unlike osrs, rs3 will be a flop on launch

 

Couple that with the predatory mtx that will then become the new norm, things start to look very grim.

So if a Jmod reads this, where are all those "we love the community we arnt hiding, we are being more transparent, community feedback is what drives us"

People have been asking this for a long time now, Mod warden was getting more involved, then poof all gone.

How about that big "a look at the year ahead" its f*cking May, the year is half over, but let me guess, its all the new lies being saved to sell the runefest tickets, especially being a virtual runefest no doubt this year given the Covid-19 situation..

 

And then itll be more promises and lies about what content is being made or sorry, "what we want to make" but then only dropping 5-6 actual content drops a year.

Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Runefest, Rinse, BUY PREMIER MEMBERS BIG UPDATE SOON, Rinse Runfest Repeat.

 

tl;dr were the f*ck is all this content that the membership price got jacked up high to "cover" along with record MTX profits, and so far 2 actual pieces of content this year.

Yeah you're reading that right, we have only had 2 actual content updates this year

Slime Quest and Arch.

And we start June in a few days, so at this rate we will have 4 content updates for the entire year.
