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 as 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. =)

You can just say adapt or quit and stop writing essays for once in your life

A Proposal to the Angry Player
Jagex most likely has no say in this hike and they probably, (if they did have no say)have had to sign something that said they couldn't say anything in regards to it.
Most of you don't understand how companies work in respect to who actually runs the company.

Maybe You're Right
For the sake of speculation, this 'hike' could be absolute payment to Jagex employees and not their parent company. Mere speculation, however, lack of transparency is a big issue I've found with Jagex. They only respond to ignorance in their forum comment section regarding the matter and dismiss all feedback they don't deem worthy; this makes a company sink, a lack of communication with a player base. "Your membership package will not be hiked if you keep your current membership [literally] current within 14 days", this has been a rule for over a year now. It's meeting ignorance with ignorance, it's hilarity is almost insulting.

TL;DR
Either Jagex has no control over the price hike and has signed a disclose-agreement with their parent company to not speak of it or they're just trying to rake in some cash.

So.. what you're saying is that you're ticked off because you have to make a grown up decision (where to spend your money)?

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?

lol Funny reply. MAYBE just maybe those that think or talk like me UNDERSTAND the concept of Work, Operations, Business, Costs, Overhead, Time, Inflation, an so on.

This is a GAME, people can leave of free will. How I was raised is not up for debate here. But if you so interested. If I am dealt a bad hand I will do what is necessary to get out of the situation, make changes and come out at the other end stronger, wiser and a survivor. I don't sit there and pout or throw a Temper Tantrum

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. No. Runelabs failed because it was extremely biased towards a specific group of people. Many good ideas were trampled into the mud by slayer creatures.

Sorry kiddo.. I couldn't say "ignore it or quit" without being quite smug about it (heard it too many times myself).

I could also be saying "told ya so!" but where's the fun in that?

I've been "writing essays" for over 50 years, why would I stop just because some random somebody didn't want to read it (I mean... don't read it, right?). "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Yes it is a vile disgusting thing for a stupid noob to say to a customer of like 10 - 15 years. Were all your essays bum licky?

No what i'm saying is I don't think anyone would have played this game when a lot of us started it if we knew it was going to end this way, and most of us want to see the game succeed, and we see where it is headed - ever increasing costs under the excuse of inflation or costs, inflation is not 100% in 10 years, more like 2 or 3% a year.

Jagex keeps saying the game is doing great player count wise when it is actually stagnant and they keep getting paid for it, its a big lie that a lot of us can see through very easy.

We are kind of stuck whether you like it or not, our fate is tied to the new player count in the end, most companies like feedback even if they flush it down the toilet.

How about actually paying attention and not just telling people to grow up for some reason that doesn't even make sense, you act like grownups can't do anything wrong :P

Dude, you said the fact you have to make a choice is the problem. I didn't say it. You did.

Grown ups.. from all walks of life.. make epic mistakes.. left and right. That, is a fact. Even in choosing where to spend their money.

I'm paying very close attention.. but all I'm really seeing is rampant, blatant, blind bashing of the jmods and jagex as a whole (without ANY consideration to the facts of life in a grown up world).

Bashing is not feedback any more than fit throwing is. Surely if one has the capacity to type, they also hold the capacity to be civil and consider that this company is trying to survive.

Many of you are proving that wrong, but honestly, if everyone was being civil I'd likely not be posting in this subforum. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sirius Radio raised their prices by 1.00 a month as well, I cancelled my 4 subscriptions because if that. The rich get richer and the product remains the same or worsens. RS is a good diversion but so are other games like Runes of Magic or Rift that are free to play. You buy things that you want, not what they want. It will be buy buy when my sub ends.

2nd this.

There is no sense in paying extra for something that isn't worth the current price you're paying. But at this point this thread is beating a not only dead horse but a decaying one.
