The issue for me is the fact that Treasure Hunter is more pay2win than ever before and constantly coming out with "Pay-For-XP" promotions that the company gets a TON of money from. So why do they also need to raise the price for membership, when most games with a paid monthly membership have nothing close to what Treasure Hunter is. Isn't that the point of a membership? To not have F2P micro-transactions? Then that's not even including Solomon's Store, which they also make a ton of money from as well. So why do we pay what we pay monthly as well as having all of these other nickel-and-dime tactics constantly shoved in our face? If they want to raise the monthly price, then remove micro-transactions. Otherwise stop acting like it's for "The good of the game," when it's clearly just corporate greed. ~Saint

Not here yet :)

I was on my way to do the new dungeon thingy I guess is just a matter of days.

Not that I don't have plenty of content to do; it is just that all new contents are always so exiting to try to accomplish them in a certain amount of time and yet realizing that some of them might take a bit longer than others makes me fill that I am in an Olympic competition...

Thank you I love new contents can't wait till summer wish I could use a magic wand to speed up the process :)

That said please add lots of more updates, quest, content lots and lots of more content.

You have been questioning whether it warrants an increase in price, and we want to do a better job of presenting why we feel RuneScape is good value. This newspost aims to address that.


Elite Dungeons - same as dungeoneering - group event.
Solak - group event
player owned farm - ?? A player-owned farm has featured in the top 10 of the annual surveys for two years running now. - Never heard of it...

So why do you feel it is value for money again, seems to me there is nothing in it for me...?

It is a bit like Sky TV, every year I receive a letter telling me prices are rising, and the reason for that is because they added more sport channels..... O_o I don't give a flying fuck about sport, and if they paid less for it, then prices wouldn't have to rise.......

it would be so nice for developers to absorb development expenses instead of passing them to the users, dont go EA jagex... to be honest we all know that u guys are lying and just gettting more and more greedy, but the sad thing is that we are just to compromised to the game at this point...

Are you kidding me with more forced group content? Why are you appealing to such a small minority of your player base? The same way you pander to the pk-babies.

Also. New bosses don't have to be more and more and more challenging. With every new boss you add using that method of power creep you will alienate more and more of your player base with every new boss. Minmaxers and elitists are the smallest portion of any mmo, why are you pandering to them? New bosses can be engaging in just having new mechanics and unique ways to defeat them. This "every new boss must be harder" is entirely arbitrary.

You know what made Runescape unique to me? The bosses were soloable. Every boss should have a solo mode.

That small minority is a dedicated one. Those people doing high level bossing worked hard to get there. They have to be challenged. It's the nature of the beast, they simply 'mastered' the current content and need fresh material.

On the other hand, people who are 'alienated' by today's high level bosses simply haven't put in the effort to master the current content. There is alot left to do for them. I'd say there's a decent diversity of lower level bosses to entertain oneself up to Telos.
High level content is there for the future of the game. Just like graardor was out of reach for most people years ago, todays 'elitist' content will become easier/accesible over time.

I went from no friends, having level 70 gear dieng against graardor to max perked gear basing yakamaru while teaching others after 2-3 months grinding and socialising.
Group activities are the only incentive for some people to make connections. Being part of a group helps people logging in.

But I agree 2018' updates don't seem much w00t overall, let's hope they atleast finish most missed deadlines with that extra green. :P

The Queen Black Dragon rework looks great!

Seriously though, while I'm still skeptical about the Runescape franchise's future, I apreciate taking the time to tell us what is happening. It would be good if we had more of a sense of where the players money, from MTX and/or Membership, is going towards.

That looks super crap. Sadly I only just found out about the whole elemental battlestaff thing because of all the mtx spam and I really think if Jagex billionaire investors want mobile then they should pay for it.
