RuneScape went F2P(er)

[rushyrulz]

They made it so that you can purchase your membership with in-game money at the rate of ~6Mgp = 2 weeks membership.

Now go give your lives back to Jagex.

P.S. if you've been away for a while, 6M is like 2-3 hours of work in current RS instead of 2-3 years like it was in 07.

[hi19hi19]

So they went the Eve plex route

I don't even have 6M anymore.. can F2P just sell member items and get membership that way or, what lol?

R.I.P in pieces all blackmarket account upgrade services. Before today, Runescape Membership went for 30-40M/month on Sy**e. As an active buyer and seller, I am very interested to see what will happen to the account upgrade market now that the prices have been slashed almost in half and become a public and legal service by Jagex.

RuneScape ultimate boring though

pls don't lure me i don't fancy the chance of a b& by spelling out the name of a blackmarket site..

I found this topic genuinely interesting because I've bought every month of membership on my account through rsgp.
Looks like I can keep doing so, except, you know .. legally.

THAT'S NO FUN!!

[cedolad]

oh hey legal fun...

wheres the fun in that

[Ohaider]

whoaa that's crazy

I remember trolling on runescape by going to some place with a coal mine as a level 3 bald guy in a monk uniform with a rune pickaxe and then mining the coal before everyone else did

Good times

[Guest15937]

What OP failed to say is that it costs $5 for one of the items to enter the game. :P

[icontrolyourworld]

I played runescape 8 years ago, is it any better now O:

[flash dualist]

I quit this game because of EoC.

[Izzy]

People payed for runescape?

[SpoOkyMagician]

My Opinion: *shrugs* Runescape used to be decent game. However, they ruined their own game and it was obviously seen/discussed during the bot/black market thing going on. It was somewhat ruined at this point but once EoC came out... Meh... They just destroyed it completely. While I admit, I like their ideas, it just ruined the game itself.

@ Topic: Err... Really? I suppose that is somewhat a way to recover players back but, eh... I retired from that game and I don't intend to go back to it. I wish I finished my mining/smithing/magic levels but I just didn't get there. (They were all in the 90s.)

yeah, I'm already aware about the bonds

now if they dropped in GP a bit (I barely have 6mil remaining lol), I'd play RuneScape with my clanmates for 2 weeks just for one last time (lost interest in the game in general tbh - old school servers got boring fast)

You can earn 6M gp on the free to play servers, it just takes longer to do so. The regular F2P servers will always remain completely free to play, but to gain access to members you must do so by either utilizing bonds (which can be bought on the grand exchange) or paying for membership.

I'm willing to give away one of my bonds to the first person who claims it. I still have paid membership credit until december and more than enough GP and skill levels to gain 6M in less than 3 hours.

[Gilly G]
