Why are the price rises designed to punish people who can't afford continuous membership? That's unfair and going to lock people out into f2p.

I can see a lot of people in this thread are afraid to complain in case they look bad but I'm not. I'm calling bs on the way this rise was carried out.

Also, I think
we're owed more than two sentences of explaination
after years of loyalty, money and time sunk into Runescape. How about some proof on paper about why the prices need to rise? Most of us are adults, we can read paperwork. Prove it to us.

EVERYONE chill, you spend more going out to eat a month then you do having 30 days of game pay.

If you don't like the Price (many should be on a grandfather locked in Rate) then be so kind show Runescape how it is done by developing a GAME worth 17 years of content created BY YOU.


While you at it please Tell us how much work it is, how many people you have employed, How much in Taxes you pay, all the Technicalities and Coding that goes into your Game, EVERYTING that has to do with being a GAME OWNER in the size Jagex has grown world wide. As a NOW young Adult show us how it is done.

If you don't know or you are NOT willing to make or try to make a Game of your own either LEAVE RUNESCAPE or accept the changes. Runescape/ Jagex has their Reasons for the hike, some of which they are not ready to reveal. Stop acting like 2 year old spoiled brats throwing a Temper Tantrum.



Hey, can you try taking the side of people instead of a corporation for once? I swear, there's a million of your sort, defending the indefensible. Have you been raised from little to accept any bad hand you're dealt without question?

It's a buck and a half for the love of Guthix!

It's a company that necessarily needs money to stay in business (it's not a defense of, well, anything, except maybe common sense).

If y'all honestly can't give up a single Starbucks latte, or a candy bar, or even a single sports drink (or skip the damn fries just one time) each month then straighten out your priorities and don't.

A buck and a half a month isn't a "bad hand", it's the cost of doing business in a grown up world. Welcome to it.

It has nothing to do with the $1.50 increase and everything to do with them doing this after the shitshow that was 2017. And they think that 2-3 months of semi-good to good updates was a good enough reason to raise it. Along with them also raising the price of Treasure Hunter Keys and Runecoins. This screams blatant cash-grab to me. Especially when they've been making more money in the past 2-3 years than ever and putting out LESS content for it.

And in that grown up world I mentioned.. it is absolutely your choice to pay for a product or not.. but.. to pay for a product and then raise holy hell about it being a "shitshow" that you don't like (and I'd lay odds you wouldn't have said a word about that without this price increase) is simply ridiculous.

There's a product in front of you. You know what it offers. You know what it's going to cost moving forward.

Instead of pitching a fit about it, MAKE A CHOICE of whether or not you CHOOSE to pay the price of the product offered or not. Raisin' hell about it isn't going to cause corporate to say 'oh hey this guy cried about it so we'll just revert it cause we don't need the money'.

Jagex tossed that bloody ball into your court. ONLY YOU can make a decision for yourself about paying for the product or not.

Calm down. Make a choice. =)

I think I'll go back to WoW now.. the price was worth what it was before but not anymore. :(

Even after the price update, you'd still be playing a better game for less money per month. Last time I played WoW, I was completely fed up with the progression scheme as it was waaaay too time-consuming. At least with Runescape I can have some semblance of a life without letting my gear fall too far behind. I like a raiding experience where DPS is based more on skill than it is on how much time you dump into the game.

Tell us how many workers actually are in the company, how many projects are running, how many workers for each project and why you need that quantity, how many people works on TH every week, how many workers for each crater/farye event. Then why the price increase, or why so many updates with non-priority every week while the main updates with high priority are stuck, how many workers are on these main projects and how many main projects are doing at the same time? we don't know nothing.


Why don't you CONTACT Jagex or APPLY for a Job to get your Questions answered. Runescape is a GAME Business. It's NOT small. If any of you would understand that, there be less whining or complaining on the Price hike or ANY OTHER rs post.

CURRENTLEY there are 32 JOB Openings for various Positions. From the sounds of it many you need to apply as you are so much better then the people behind the curtain.

As for the updates given..... again what's high priority to you may not be to them. RUNELAPS was a perfect example of a divided RS Community and what each person thought was Highly important or not. Runelaps failed for a reason.

The fact that we have to make a choice is the problem, you calm down.
