Mad May and Wild Weekends

I think it's a joke that Jagex is trying so hard for money. What happened to the Runescape where money wasn't the goal for the game..

Quite a few MMO betas are being released between now and May. I think Jagex is trying to reel back their straying customers by enticing them with rewards like the ones mentioned in the update. Who knows for sure, though. It's a win/win for people who plan to stay, at least.

True but it seems more to me like a "O s*** we made people leave due to the SoF fiasco and now we need to make up for it" type of move. It could also be celebrating Optimus going live as the second bot nuke and fixing the FPS like what they did with the first bot nuke by giving the bonus xp and all that.

If that's what they have in mind, I sure hope it's better thought out than the last one. They had a number of one day events where it didn't really help anyone because they forced everyone to compete for the same resources to get the bonus.

Personally, I think if you want to get back lost customers, your best bet is to find the cause and attack the problem there. Jagex isn't going to do that. Those customers aren't ever going to pay anything above their monthly membership fees, so Jagex liquidated them.
