Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?
I've been playing for 7 years, and in that time, we've gone from getting one or two quests/month, to eight or nine of quests/year. That's a long-term trend, not a recent one, and I think it falls under the category more of changing from updates containing mostly new content, to updates improving upon existing content -- for instance, the huge rework of Burthorpe, anyone? That alone took as work much as some quests, for sure.
Also, my theory -- one I'll be writing on in more depth in an article later this week -- is that a lot of people and resources have been pulled toward Transformers Universe, since Jagex has a firm deadline with Hasbro for a 2012 release. If that's so, it would make sense that content development has slowed a bit in Runescape.
