Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?
I agree wholeheartedly re the promotional days. My membership has stayed static since 2007, because I've never let it drop. I haven't looked to see how much it would be if I did, then came back. I'm assuming much, much more.
You are always welcome in Canting. We're the most laid-back clan in Gielinor. Canting means 'chatting' and that's what we did/do. All go about our own business, while having conversations in the chat channel.
The citadel was quite strange to superimpose over the top of that. We initially struggled, but those who stayed are now quite focused on it. It looks great. But it introduced politics into the clan for the first time and I'm not convinced the benefits outweighed the damage.
I did face-palm when I heard about Tears of Guthix. It really is 'how much xp can we give you for laziness' these days. Where's the challenge, the fun and the pure gaming in getting everything on a plate? There's no achievement at the other end, and those who did it the normal way have no meaningful reward for their hard work.
I've been excited for years to know what Prifddinas is going to look like. (It's Welsh by the way. It means Capital City. Hence the old joke in our clan that Prifddinas will look like Cardiff!) But yes, it certainly seems abandoned. In a way, I'm glad, because I hate to think what it's going to look like in these days of aggressive monetizing. Las Vegas's Strip probably.
Maxing is hardly an accomplishment, but completing everything is now impossible. If you haven't paid for every limited edition along the way, then you cannot complete the game.
