Or, Runescape is failing so much that it's become magnetic.

The game is in a bit of development limbo at the moment. There was a lot of content added over the last year, but not a lot of bug fixes and balancing, and some of the balancing (or lack thereof) has made the game unsavory for some. They (the devs) are also working on two games and would like to work on their first one, too.

Good thing the tribe spent so much of their energy steamrolling noobs. That was always going to keep people playing.

RIP Plymouth.

Seriously though this game was never going to grow massive on its own. They kinda needed to convince the Haven crowd to migrate over, and things could have grown from there. It's the way Blizzard does so well. BNet kiddies are a massive playerbase that migrate from game to game as they are released.

But that's my opinion.

Good thing that players like kids from BNet don't really migrate well into this game (oh the ***** at Boston chatbox...) Although more players would be nice.

H & H in the aftermath of death is not as sad as in Salem.
and even developed could enter a condition in the raid, there is no trace of the crime of participants in the inventory of the village - a claim not raised. I think it would be more honest!

Both Jamestown and Roanoke went well over 60 as their peak yesterday. That's a huge gain for Jamestown and the best Roanoke has done since before the recent bad times. Plymouth of course is dead and barely able to hit 20, and it's still shedding players.

There was over 2000 people watching someone else play runescape. Yet you are happy about 60 people being online in Salem............

What could we do to reach that kind of player base? Could you imagine how fun that would be?
Everyone throw out some ideas.
