I am starting to think some of the people complaining have botting accounts.

* same issue being mentioned......What's if I want to start a new account? start it now you have over 8 weeks before rates increase and put it onto a re occurring payment. Problem solved the current rate will apply (NOT THE JUNE 4TH ONE)

* Where do you find the time to play more then 2 accounts (I seen posts where people have 4 accounts)
Either you have a Job or your attending school (of any grade lvl)

*I understand everyone has their Payment method, but players of rs for many years have seen price hikes before. why would you not secure a long term low cost (grandfather rate)?

I took a year of rs myself and let the re occurring payment run, because I knew I would return.
I am a grown lady that raised 2 girls that are now grown and a young man that will graduate high school in 2 years. Even though I was and I am a stay at home mom, all 3 kids have kept me very busy (son still keep me busy). all 3 kids have and had afterschool activities which we parents were and are very involved in. I get that people like old school or iron man, but as a wife, and mother and a busy life style I found only time for 1 account which isn't even close to maxed. While I have had many more rs hours avail to me then, the average person on rs. I find it hard to even max 1 account let alone 2, 3 or 4. So I really don't comprehend all the complaints. I am sorry but I just don't get it. How in the heck can you all MAX all the content so fast and beg for more more and more and start NEW accounts

Ah that's a shame.. I just bought a house so cashflow is low at the moment and I was tossing up on whether to play runescape or warcraft, and I chose runescape because it was $5 p/m cheaper (for AUS) but i guess i'll just go with warcraft now since i have other friends playing it.

getting a bit greedy there jagex

That membership thing is complete bs. This isnt WoW. People chose your game back in the day because it was cheaper than most MMOS and you guys are trying to push for more money when in my opinions, its not even deserved. Theres no reason to change the price of anything except for the fact that you guys are money hungry, trying to turn this game in MTX heaven. Its Idc if it only applies to new people, thats just as bad. You people make enough money from this game, and now youre just trying to screw over the people. I have 4 membership accs and I buy VIP on 2 of them every year and this still pisses me off.

The funny thing is, you get 16 character slots on one membership in WoW. The idea of paying multiple membership fees is kinda of a foreign concept in almost any other MMO. When it comes to your wallet, Jagex always finds a way. :) :D

You actually get 50 character slots. 16 on a single server which you can change between servers freely. Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.

Good point, I didn't factor alts on different servers. :) I always felt that the whole "alts cost extra in RS" was kinda lame, but justified it by the fact that RS was a much cheaper MMO. :D

So it would have been cheaper for me to have stayed with monthly fees than bother with a premiere membership?


It sounds like jagex is trying to hype up the work that has to be done to keep a game alive. If these fee increases were not implemented what would be different in the game? Would every thing that is done already be taken away? .

Interesting update. This will probably be my last month as a member for a very long time. Maybe I'll return to membership once Darkscape returns.

But I mostly play this game (RS3) for the quests, and with the slow pace of quest releases, it will not take me long to complete them all.

Alright, let's see... nope, I can't start my new group ironman mode account yet, because Jagex is still on very early development for making it. So how do you suggest that I make a new account for a game mode that Jagex is planning to develop, but has barely started doing so? You can't turn an existing account into an ironman. > )

Not to mention that Jagex could make even more such games modes in the years to come. You can't just "start it now".

And btw, what's your "solution" to premier club membership not accounting for your grandfathered rate?

MrsGuinevere Do you talk to people in game? They are not bots. Lots of people whom are retired play, handicapped, kids with no outside friends with alot of time on their hands with mental problems they play this game to keep what sanity they have. I fear hiking up prices taking away this from them could result in some bad things at times I feel more like father or counselor in game. Jagex probably doesn't realize this. My self I have around 25 accounts do I play them all na. Just get bored on one at times and switch to another. I helped the company with catching bots and still do when I see. Games are made to be played but it is actually easy to afk now so some people I know play 2 or more accounts same time. Some even pay more than one membership. But, with increased prices will be hard. There are other ways to make money for the company instead of increasing prices.

1. Cut down on staff why? Graphical updates are not needed really, not much new content that I've seen. Also too much time is being wasted on os, and other versions, many went to os because of the simplicity and not having all the junk added but, they are getting updates still. And if its for the new aps for cells we don't need. Dump it.

2. Sell new special content seperate from runescape price. That can be unlocked monthly with a fee. As I told mod shauny on twitter new scenerios that would could cost from 5$ to 10$ to unlock and could be required for the trimmed max cape. But would be replayable and fun to do.
