Just a quick question, no hate, just want to know. How are we different from what was going to be 2006Scape or Soulsplit. As I'm sure all of you know 2006Scape was shut down after they reached almost 500,000 registered members. There are currently two rumors spreading on how and why 2006Scape was shut down. One rumor I've heard is that the owner was just in it for the money, and scammed most players into donating and is now running with the cash. Another rumor is that Jagex did shut them down, most likely due to the fact that they had more people registered to play than the number of people that log into RuneScape each day. If I'm correct, I believe 2006Scape was around since June or July, but I'm not 100% sure. Soulsplit, however, has been running since 2009 (as displayed on their website), and is still going strong.
To be honest, I didn't plan on joining 2006Scape. Their community had a lot of flamers, spammers, etc. And after I'd posted 2 honest posts on the forums I had ended up making about 50 enemies before the game had began. Also, I did play Soulsplit for one day, and then after signing a petition to have Jagex bring back 2006 servers, I read a post that was advertising for RuneRebels. This was 3 days ago.
This game is great, and it takes me back to when I was a kid. Also, it's got an amazing community, and is so well done I am amazed every time I log in and do something new. I like this game a lot, and want to not only sign in tomorrow, but next week, and a month from now (etc).
So, how are we any different from 2006Scape, in the sense that how aren't we going to be shut down? What is our defense? Does Jagex even bother? (I ask because Soulsplit has been around since 2009). Is there a loophole to secure our game that Soulsplit knows and no one else does?
Thanks for reading this extremely large post.
