So I was looking at the two posts about the price changes and I must say that the OSRS post makes much more sense.

The OSRS post about this included this in it ( The reason for it to occur).

"This decision is the result of a rise in development costs, as well as an increase in operating fees. The Old School RuneScape model is entirely subscription-based, and so to continue delivering great content we have to increase membership fees. The cost of Old School RuneScape's subscription fee still remains more than competitive when compared against other online games." Mod_Sween


The RS3 one does not include anything about the reason, only that there will be an increase in price of membership. And that

"On 4th June 2018 we will be increasing the price of membership for new members and those who’ve been unsubscribed for more than 14 days. The price of Bonds, Treasure Hunter keys, and RuneCoins will also be increasing." Mod shauny.


Something about the reason for the increase in membership prices would have went a long way here.
Time to follow an trail of Treasure.

Why don't you just go all world of warcraft. Triple your dev team for rs3 .. charge $15 a month ... dile back the mxt and do expacts every other year for $60... we could be getting priff style updates every quarter and hell yeah I would be down with that?

Why aren't we getting new quests monthly?

You can't say the sub price is competitive with other MMO's when they also let you have multiple characters per account. Maybe give us 2-3 character slots so you can have Main, pure, Ironman, or any other kind of alt you want.

People are making such a big fuss about membership prices rising when in real life everything is rising in UK almost all the time and people just get on with it..


we're comparing the price of membership to a game that is holding a record of 250+ million accounts world wide to the price of eggs, milk and tea in ol' england now?

All those people who keep saying "We need MTX otherwise they'd raise the Membership rates" ...

Where, uh, where are you all right now?

Y'all are a bit quiet for some reason.
Fullblown non-playing lurker since 26/06/17. May come back if both the devs and the MTX team get their bloody act together.
