A good message does not justify a poor game, as you semi-stated, this would have made a better blog post than a game. If this gets popular I'm going to be a little disappointed that someone has once again used a current event to get a game big, especially when games can recieve monetary rewards. (Anyone remember that terrible Mario clone about SOPA?) I'll give you "2D4U" though.
I love runescape but have been let down in the new updates. Very few of them effect me because of my level in the game, Mobilizing Armies was a joke, a quest requiring less the level 10 in some skills, and the grand exchange.
I still only keep my membership to talk to friends, wait for a decent update, and play on RSC.
