Like it used to be sure, but it should be a mix. It appears recently all they wish to do is hold back working on little updates till they can find a way to match a bunch of similar stuff up into one large update. 1 good big pursuit like While Guthix Sleeps or The World Wakes may be enough to draw people back if they're invested in the narrative. But there ought to be other little content additions between then - instead of holding back on developing a bunch of slayer dinosaurs till they get time to develop a completely different dungeon, by way of instance, they can trickle out one or two every now and then in already-existing areas. Sure many people will not come back especially to try a new slayer mob, but it needs to be a balance between large and small content releases so you have the little content to maintain existing individuals playing and big content to bring back the infrequent RuneScape Gold   gamers; right now they simply appear to have big or patches, not much in the manner of small content additions.

New Runescape player here. Can not relate at all yet. A great deal of things. However, I have seen this kind of article in warframe and neverwinter. It is as if everyone is going the same direction. Seems like a very complicated issue. Because you want new content to keep it alive but adding fresh content will trick the fragile balance (assuming the upgrade is bug free). That it never is. MMOs feel as they will definitely collapse in their weight after a certain threshold of expansion.

Exactly this, there's so much content in Runescape game that the vast majority of it's forgotten and undesirable because of the few things that are more useful 9 days out of 10. Adding more content is simply going to keep pushing older content under the rug but not adding new content is going to leave Runescape game stale and boring. It makes upgrades which people enjoy for quite a long time very hard to find.

That final line is pretty close. What folks do not realize (or do not like to acknowledge ) is that MMOs have their own expiration date. They are a game genre that relies on individuals, and have seen Runescape game alter the most. The old guard and too much change to buy osrs gp gets pushed outside, as well as the new individuals also wind up becoming the guard. Like a microcosm of those generational gaps in humans.
