quote PyroWizard

A question many Runescape players have pondered for some time. Is the Runescape Economy dying? The answer is, yes it is! If you were somehow too ignorant to notice this, then you just haven't been playing Runescape lately.



Let's go back in time, to the early days of RuneScape.



Those were the GOOD days, as many Players claim. Back then, having full Addy was considered the best thing. As for Rune, if you managed to somehow get your hands on them, then you were the luckiest person alive.



For many months Runescape lived on, completely shielded from the clutches of high level armour/weapons such as Rune. Then it happened. Bluerose(you all know who she is) set a World Record on RuneScape by being the first player to reach Lv99 Smithing. Thus, she became the first Rune Smither in Runescape. She knew that Rune items were in great demand, and she used this to her advantage. She became the richest player in Runescape in a very short time. People were willing to pay anything, ANYTHING, to obtain items such as Rune 2-Handlers.



These were the "good" days, when Rune was held in high respect, and the economy in Runescape was well kept in check. However, eventually more and more players began to achieve what bluerose had done, and Rune Smithers became more frequent. Eventually, demands for Rune steadily became low, and the price of a Rune 2-handler literally dropped from over 1 million to perhaps 300k.



So the ages went by, and here we are, in the modern period. The high respect everyone had for Rune is now all but spent, and those with Full Rune who were once worshipped as Gods are now nothing but "normal" people. Rune has become an "easy-come-easy-go" item now, and any player who can make decent money can afford Rune to some degree. Many rare items such as Party Hats, which were once sold/bought very easily, became less and less frequent. The prices blasted through the roof, and Rune was shunted aside.



What is the future of the Runescape Economy? Will it eventually collapse and will even the poorest of players be able to afford Rune? Will the prized Rune Smithers in Runescape lose their worthy status? Only time will tell. i remember back in the same good days u talk about, i had full mithril and everyone thought it was pretty good, i rarely saw anyone in any rune in the good ol' days, now, almost everyone has full rune and im talking about free version! once u go into members, everyone is higher level than me (im currently 58) and has full rune, what i rarely see in members is dragon med and dragon sword and dragon axe, dragon is now what rune used to be in the good ol' days as pyro says it is it the idea of that new island? i heard about this back in january, this was an old idea, it was made in december, its may now and jagex hasnt come to thought of it, anyways, that is a good idea, im Kane11111111 on runescape communityi remember back in the same good days u talk about, i had full mithril and everyone thought it was pretty good, i rarely saw anyone in any rune in the good ol' days, now, almost everyone has full rune and im talking about free version! once u go into members, everyone is higher level than me (im currently 58) and has full rune, what i rarely see in members is dragon med and dragon sword and dragon axe,as pyro says it
