Which is now referred to as RuneScape Classic

That's why we let the free membership levels be left in place - they didn't want to lose their users. It's true that it did work, and its popularity only grew. But, the author of The First 20 Years explains, RuneScape didn't reach its top levels without some mistakes made during the course of its development.

For those who played the game regularly in the late 2000s would be struggling with the very first version which is now referred to as RuneScape Classic. Players could attack anyone or anyone else. The graphics were not basic. It could only fit about 1,200 players at a time without crash.

Games can't be allowed to make mistakes any longer. Titanfall 2 isn't getting the funding it needs to improve its online play on PC. Anthem was dropped in the middle of the development process of the game's major overhaul. Fable Legends was canceled before it had even been able to launch. Now, you must be Fortnite, or die trying.

The enthusiasm of a developer may be very irrelevant to a publisher the same way. Dragon Age 4 has been repeatedly canceled due to more powerful interference constantly dictating the game's direction. Metal Gear fans, who very obviously want single-player games, got the co-op game, Metal Gear Survive in 2018. And that's not even to look at all the subsidiary games Activision Blizzard wastes on constant Call of Duty development.

Thank goodness Jagex began its existence at a time in which it was independent. The player base began to decrease in the late 2000s and the game's publisher was likely to have shut down it all. In fact, Raven Software started laying people off in the midst of Warzone generated billions of dollars, so any success could mean disaster for the human beings who developed the game.
