Why do they suddenly care? Jagex obstinately did gay shit all the time when players said overwhelmingly they didn't want it before, too.

Grindfest
I think the highest I ever got a skill was 80 and that is like 1/4 of the way to 99

>Grindfest
I am okay playing something that I can watch a movie to as well. I actually enjoy the grind.

>>713930973 (OP)
Do what you want. I recommend doing some quests tho. If you are f2p, then just chill and see if you like it. Most content is in Members world tho.

>You still need to for a membership
Fuck that

>>713933179
imagine needeing to
in order to play the game
tragic

>>713930973 (OP)

Do all the F2P quests before going to members. Game is fun tho

>>713933294
I can understand monthly memberships for server-based games. But the question is "Is it worth the membership"?

>>713933179
You can buy bonds but thanks to whales and constantly inflated end-game content they're 15M each, so that's 30M for a month or membership. Which kind of makes it hard to make the jump, early levels you won't be able to make enough coin without treating it like a full time job. It will also greatly slow your progression since you need to reinvest those coins into skills. Best bet is play f2p for a while, and if you like it pay for a couple months. Don't drop $100 for the year, I don't think jagex deserves that money.

>>713933179
>membership is $15 now
back in my day it was 5 dollars fuck that

>>713933591
Yeah. A tenner a month is nothing for me. If you have to debate £10 a month for something you enjoy I don't envy your position.
You could argue the price is or isn't worth it compared to other MMOs but that boils down to your preference of game and, again, if £10 is a lot of money for you or not.

>>713933883
its really not that bad
its 15 hours a month

>>713931854
It's a PR nightmare for them every time, and they want to avoid that in preparation for sailing's release.

>>713933995
to be fair the only reason i got back into it myself was because they rolled back their pride parade. I still don't know if i'm gonna buy a membership yet or not.

I do love fishing though. I can watch a movie while catching stuff.

>>713933883
They have been bought and resold to even cheaper investors so many times now it is surprising they don't charge more.

>>713934330
how did their company lose so much value? I know they didn't bring in WoW money, but Runescape is still a well known name.

>>713931086
Can I get a link to the strawpoll?

>>713930973 (OP)
depends, how are you taking it
blind, community or wiki?

>Dedicated LGBTQ server has less than 1k members
Holy shit lol

Stopped growing, if your an investor and your green line isn't going up forever you sell. Then the next guy tries to squeeze more value out of it before passing it on again on that line plateaus. OSRS is never going to be bigger that RS was back in the day so the only way to make that line go up is to raise prices or push other transactions. RuneScape is in a worse position than a game like wow because it is practically the only revenue source for Jagex. Blizzard doesn't get sold and bought out if WoW makes less money from y2y, Jagex does.

they could just merge servers to cut costs, finance mainstream advertising, and lower the cost to bring in even the poorest of gamers.

>>713939274
Everyone likes to log in and have an empty server, too much competition for resources will just drive players away. Especially now nearly everyone is playing AFK. Financing advertising costs money, and OSRS is a hard sell without the nostalgia of having already played the game. I am sure if lowering costs would make them more money they'd do it, but they decided they will make more by raising prices.
