@Master Vl
I never got into RS classic. I started at RS2, so I shall relate everything to RS2. In late 2003 I found a music file in one of my computer folder's, named "jingle1", which I still have and am now finding myself listening to. I presume it was auto downloaded by the RS cache. This was the song that played on the log-in screen (whatever that song is in fact called.) I would race home from school or rather already hum the login song and other in-game f2p-world songs, and the excitement of fastly typing in my login details. Adventuring really was simple and geeky might I say, but I loved it. Everything felt most/more innocent. My hours of skilling and selling my mined adamant ores to a mysterious p2per (not many had 70 mining), or buying nature runes at 500/1k ea from west varrock bank (near the staircase) to high-alch my smithed steel plates. I could say a lot about the RS now, how for example something like SoF allows you to bypass all that innocence, of having to "work" for anything.
I've only passed through the new Buthorpe and so don't really know what goes on there, but I was saddened at your explaning of 'B player'. Such new players have a very different beginning compared to my own. I see how B player is coaxed into such a thing as membership (as if to open Pandora's box), and I agree with everything you mentioned. The thing with Runescape that I care about the most is to do with the amount of time I have invested in it, the old memories that my mind clings to. But I am also glad that I have grown to care less about such a game since I do not like the direction RS is going in. Then again I have never liked the direction the world is going in, about a lot of things, for example relating to the corporate word "business".
I do not see myself as some epitome of a veteran player, but I have been there to see and witness changes. I will remember the RS that was based on my game-innocent journeys and adventurings, nothing about the commercialism of RS.

Jagex, how are you able to continuously string along you're paying customers with updates that fall far short of what you promise? I'm sick of hearing players say "no other company makes weekly updates, therefore give them some slack."
This is incorrect. If membership remains the same, it is simply not worth my money to bother seeing what fluff you come out with. I would happily pay more if updates improve. Money is not the issue for many players. What really ticks me off is the fact that you go to such lengths to rid the game of bots (who's users primarily consists of 1000's of gold farmers as opposed to real players who bot) but defeat the purpose by selling out with this squeal of fortune farce.
Do mods read this? If so I wonder what the old ones truly think about the player response to update after crappy update. It's obvious something isn't working and it's been going on for so long that it's become apparent that you are not dedicated to developing a better game, rather you are fixated on accumulating the money that 12 year olds get off their parents.

Honestly, I don't care if you make money off SoF, but could you please make it a little less obvious? It's not hard for us to see that the only way to take advantage of the "5x bonus" is by BUYING spins, and it's also not hard for us to see the ADVERTISEMENTS TO BUY them.
THREE advertisements to basically BUY extra spins on the main page and THREE more advertisements ingame. Why should some miserable squeel of fortune that most people use for 5 minutes a day be the center of the game's attention?
I think you should simply spend your energy on other game content, and keep SoF on the side. Why are we not seeing special offers on penguin points or something?(so people don't forget about those old updates)
One more time, I don't want you to misunderstand me, you can make these offers and advertise SoF all you want, as long as these offers and advertisements are in BETWEEN some awesome game updates (not just any updates)
I'll take this back if combat update turns out to be something that you spent a lot of time on. So far I do believe that it will be good, so thank you for at least that.

the hole idea is so stupid. you want us to pay spins but since the first day of the SoF, i used my 2 spin everyday(+3 with the special week) and even more with the +2 ticket loot. so, i think i spinned the think more than 200 times and only ONE time i got a rare loot. 1 over 200+ is really really low and you want us to pay for this? if you want it to work, you must at least give more chance to get on rare loot.

It was a summer day when I first heard about Runescape when a friend recommended it to me. This was seven years ago. I was on my bike home, intrigued by this game the like of which I had never seen before. I registered and logged in. I was immediately struck my the game's atmosphere. It wasn't pretty but that didn't matter in the least, because what drew me in was the music, the player, we were all on an adventure.
And after the first day I had obtained maybe a few hundred coins. I then contacted my friend on Runescape. My first private chat. He told me he could smith me some steel armor! Wow! We met in Falador and he smithed some armor right before my eyes. I replaced my pieces of bronze armor with steel and I was amazed.
But then it happened. I was on my way to the dwarven mine to mine some ores when I walked into the black knight fortress and died. My precious steel armor! Gone! I was almost in tears.
It was such a fun experience, from the day I started playing to the day I got killed for the first time to the day I begged my uncle to pay for membership to the day I spent picking flax to earn a hundred thousand coins to the day I bought my first whip in Falador park.
It's been seven years, and while I don't consider myself a veteran I've been playing for longer than most people and it just makes me sad that someone who sign up today won't experience that sense of adventure that we did. :(

Poor update Jagex. You get rid of in game players gambling so you can do it ? You can in effect buy xp and buy coins . You might aswell open an official gold buying site. Well done for continously ruining this game. You remember the poll you did for wildy and free trade? Do a poll for sof being kicked out the game

Oh god...
People must now buy spins like crazy to win the poor 200m reward...
Oh god.... Hope I will get that 200m once in my lifetime from 2 spins a day... Especially when I only loose money because of RuneScape fake economy.
OH GOD!!! Only if Jagex would listen...
