External link →For some reason it hogged the entire dev team. I wonder if it will really have been worth 3/4 year without quests or much other new content (boss portals existed, ranch is an extension of pof with no new mechanic).
From what they've said, this will really be great, having a focus on lore, being useful for skillers and pvmers alike. But I wonder if it's worth paying the membership fee while waiting for so long.
Just to give a bit more insight...
It hasn't hogged the entire RS dev team. Only the Episodic team (a sub-team of RS dev) has worked on Arch, and only in the last month has it taken up the bulk (though still not all) of Episodic.
For the first 9 months of development (give or take) it was just a team of four of us, then we had a fifth member join for about 6 months or so, then in the last 1-2 months additional dev support from the rest of Episodic.
Arch hasn't been the cause of a dearth of content in recent years, that's more of a production issue at its core (by which I mean the production pipeline, not producers specifically - the failing falls on all of us).
Anyway, we hope Archaeology will be enjoyed and, if so, it certainly provides a lot of content. If it's worth subbing for or not we'll leave to you all to decide. :)
