I know
it’s been a while since i posted an article on TRB and i
thought that this might be the right time. With the new HD
graphics update and all the changes that Runescape has
concured this year. As you guys might know, or maybe you
probably dont. You probably don’t but yeah, im the creator of
RuneSociety and as an admin, im really starting to get the
impression that Jagex is slowly killing off RuneScape Help.
Why? Well, im not completely certian of course, and this
article is mostly alot of my opinion instead of fact, but i
think it will really make you think. Over the course of the
years, RuneScape Help has been a driving factor in the growth
of RuneScape. Even if someone doesn’t play the game itself,
they would join a forum like RuneSociety and just simply hang
out with the crowd and eventually get into the game at least a
bit. So lets talk about some of the actions Jagex has taken
and are taking to try and possibly destroy 3rd party help.
Yeah, we all have our complaints about the in-game trading
system now, but now lets talk about the tool they recently’
released, the Grand Exchange Database. For players, this is a
miracle-ish type thing, you can easily check an items value
and history and would kind of resemble a RuneScape wall-street
tool. So in a sense, thats great and all right? Well yeah for
the players of course, but with the coming of this also
created the death of another. As some of us may know, Zybez
was the first RuneScape helpsite to create such a tool, and
many many players used it, they worked really hard to keep it
up to date, seeing as they have to gather data manually rather
than have it easily accessable like Jagex, its easy to say
that Zybez put alot of work into their tool. Now this Grand
Exchange DB came out, and i won’t deny that its more accurate
and useful but it also is another major supporter of my
theory. Now onto the next piece of evidence
