Hey all,
Just wanted to let Jagex know that I feel a little disrespected. For the most part Jagex is one of the best companies I know at listening and giving back to the players that pay their wages. For example, my ability to post my feelings here is a direct result of Jagex wanting to hear my opinion, and I know they will read it. This feedback is by no means an accusation or disapproval of Jagex. Who knows, maybe I'm just being a little self entitled. I have been a loyal member for about 8 years I think, and have been making monthly payments pretty much the ENTIRE time. I have been here for almost every update and have watched along with the Jagex team and community as this game has evolved. When I logged into my email this morning and realized that I had been set aside and made to wait to see one of the greatest updates to come, while many others enjoy the new beginning, I was a little unsettled in the pit of my stomach. It feels a little weird that I must pay additional money to join Jagex's gold or premium member squad, which feels a lot like favoritism over money rather than loyalty.
I understand though that Jagex is looking for specific things out of the beta such as a variety of feedback from players who love to explore (I haven't been this kind of player recently), and are also looking and technical specs of different machines. I also understand that this is a business, and the number one priority of a business is to make money, however that is best done.
I have watched all of the sneak peak videos and seen the screen shots, and I am very excited for the new content and can't wait to join the fun. Excellent job on that one Jagex! I give you my approval and loyalty for this update. I hope to have a first hand in more of the future updates, as I am on a low income at the moment and can't afford to pay an extra price.
Cheers to all that plan to rock the new world of Runescape and best of luck!
