Emps-World will eventually become shit
No, I don't mean this in a drastic way but think about it. Lots of games like
www.funorb.com a gaming site which was abandonaded by Jagex is still up after 5 years with no updates with hundreds of players. Why? Because it's a piece of work and it's not getting updated by Jagex anymore, a Jagex Moderator is taking tiny bit of control of it.
The reason Emps will become shit is because the server grows everyday, and everyday we get new players, and new players demand new and modern revision/updates. What me, or any other old school player would want is pretty much go back to the old school time with a few tweaks instead of revision updates.
I am not against Grand Exchange, it's a good feature but the game has to move on, you can't stop it from growing, it will die if there won't be any new content.
AND also if you are implying that RS3 is done for, it really isn't, lots of players still play and it constantly grows. However, lots of old schools were unsatisfied with the new game updates so Jagex made a 2007 remake which you see today is a huge hit, wish Emps could make another server for "Old school emps".
