for me I picture runescape have like 50k players playing and no worlds would be full.. runescape will be like deserted!

what do you think?

Runescape will probably dip a little in activity immediately after release, but I'm assuming it won't have a major impact in the long run. Jagex is aiming at a different target audience for a reason.

RuneScape will have almost no one playing it for the first day, but after a week or so people will have decided which game they like better. It's hard to tell how good MechScape really is before it's released, so I can't really even take a guess at how it will affect RuneScape's population after a week, though.

It all depends if Jagex announces the release on runescape.com or not.

i hope rs gets deserted
more room for me

mechscape sounds like a bunch of robots or w/e
not my type of game

Yes Jagex thought people might feel that way.

Actually, I'd probably play both. I like sci-fi AND med. fantasy.

I think all the Mechscape servers (assuming it's like RuneScape) will be full and their will be mass lag with players running around having no idea on what's going on and RuneScape will be pretty empty.

As

It will suck.

I'll be extremely busy recording, taking screenshots, writing some quick articles, updating MechTopia, and actually trying to enjoy the game too while I'm at it.

As for RuneScape, dunno, and I honestly don't care.

I thought mechscape sounded pretty lame o_O
I might check the website on release, but I don't intend to make an account or anything like that.
But I do forsee a dip in runescape activity for a day or three

I think that on day one of release practicaly nobody will play Runescape, well around 3 people per world judging by the forum's poll's. It depends because all the poll's are in the
"mechscape discussion"
section and if you were not playing mechscape then you will not look at the it. Soo!

I'unno'.

After that there might be less there might even be more than normal because all the commotion
that mechscape make's MIGHT draw people to runescape?

Cheer's

are you kidding? like 80% of the people dont even read what new things are happening with runescape XD

i bet there'll be a mojority of people still playing runescape hehe

Well, it's more like 20% really, but yeah. It could be split 50/50 or something. And from how many people are saying they won't even try it, it could be even more in favor of RuneScape.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Sheesh, I hate waiting...

Runescape might be a bit deserted, but who knows whether Mechscape is as great as it's hyped up to be?

Everyone will rush to Mechscape, causing high server load and lag. People will then take it upon themselves to spew useless angry crap all over the Mechscape and other fan forums about how the game sucks and the servers are complete fail. You know like when they released Farming/Construction/Summoning.

We'll finally see a empty Draynor Willow spot.

Also, I would laugh my pants off if, this was just a long term April-Fools.

Of course they will. Jagex made it, it wouldn't make sense not to tell players.

Well aat least all the big places that you want to get stuff from will be availble. No more people stealing my goblins.

Runescape gets a bit deserted, People try the game. They hate it they come back to Runescape.

So basically nothing will happen.

Wow. What a horrible opinion of something with absolutely no evidence to back it up. Your mindset disgusts me.

its sad but unfortuantly true... but i have to agree with the above comments, outta those 80% like only 40 plays annulaly...

I think that the world will explode, and the Harpies will sing their songs of victory as they rip us limb from limb.

Seeing as the requirement for MechScape being released is 'Hell freezing over', I'd say you're right.
