this damage control doesnt make u guys look any better...these are mediocre updates at best ... another way you guys look extremely greedy is u increase the price on bonds and runecoins but you dont even increase the value its staying the same WTF "all we are is dust in the wind"

and these mediocre "updates" warrant a price rise....how?
That was my thought exactly. I guess the price increase is almost entirely because of the mobiles, since they were expecting OSRS and RS3 mobile out already, yet they're still in early, small scope closed betas with months to go before a public release. It's just funding for the mobiles in hopes of getting OSRS mobile out by September and RS3 mobile out this year.

Ok so your bringing new updates in the game. What about the updates you said should of happened and NEVER happened. While ago you said we get a citadel update NEVER happened, then other updates that was suposed to happen and NEVER did, frankly I like what I see what your bringing out, but until I see it actaully happen.............Dont mean chit on the prices.

Elite Dungeons:
-sounds interesting to say the least, though I hope the Dungeons are as hard as the post makes them out to be. Like that the Story mode though ( voiced I hope).

Solak:
-What a complete let down, though expected. I say this because Solak is constantly being pushed back and now its being used as a summer update. It would be so much better if you just made it for Summer instead of saying it would come out sooner.

Overall: Are these updates suppose to justify the rise in membership cost and premium membership?
I doubt the dungeons will have voice acting. Jagex basically trashed voice acting because of the cost. It required extremely polished and finished updates sitting on the back burner while they were being voice acted. Not the half finished, typo heavy updates we've been getting that require dialogue fixes and post quest dialogue added in as an afterthought at later dates. RuneScape isn't like other games that can do a large expansion, full voice acted with lots of stand alone characters. Old characters are constantly being dragged out requiring voice actors to come back or entire characters dialogues being re-voiced for consistency.
After 8 years of plugging voice overs into the game, only 20/219 quest have voice acting. And very little non-quest content has voice acting at all. And with the difficulty of adding quest replaying to the game, there's little motivation for Jagex to go back and revoice any old quest, unless they are reworking the quest.

This seems like a pretty standard array of content, actually. Par for the course with what seems like every year. The simple answer to the question of whether content like this is interesting enough to justify a price raise is a firm, and resounding "no".

Wake me up when you do something groundbreaking, like modernizing Construction and bringing it into this decade please. You've got the manpower, and NOW you've even got the additional funding you want. But you've always have had these things, except now you have no more excuses to hide behind.

I'm sorry to say that we already paid for premier membership and obtaining a boss targeting the top 3% and farming which most ppl hate is something that doesn't even warrant the price of premier membership. Should have gotten the cape perks right the first time around.

1 Elite dungeon for 2018 is just good sense not reason to increase prices.

Pls consider developing pet park. Pets are popular and the park will be too. More invention tools for skills which will impact many players not just a few.
Collect skilling trophies to become the ultimate skiller - impacts large number of ppl.
Skilling offhands pls.
Give us a new skill. Ports update. In general thing to do like memorial of Guthix but for hunter.
To support the mobile release pls invest your own capital and do not put the burden on existing players as this is yet to be proven a success.

The price increase didn't make any sense until I saw the stock of the company that owns Jagex lost half its value from what it was in November 2017. I think this is probably the real reason for the price increase for RuneScape. Nothing Jagex was saying was making any sense for a price increase, Brexit, Mobile, new content, and hiring more employees, with the profits Jagex is making, could be done without a price increase.

Recovering losses because the stock of the company that owns Jagex lost half its value in the last six months makes sense for why there would be a price increase for RuneScape, since RuneScape is making profits and doing well financially, it can prop up other projects and new games the owning company wants to make, and help with recovering losses.

On the plus side, it looks like the stock of the company that owns Jagex is starting to rise again in the last few days, and if that continues maybe RuneScape won't need any further price increases for some time. Lets hope the stock of the company that owns RuneScape continues to rise, because then maybe RuneScape won't see any further price increases for some time. Hi.

The Dungeons sound interesting, but it's still probably not the content I'll be rushing to do on release. But I'll still probably go for a look, and unlock the new content there at some point. Solak doesn't interest me in the slightest, and as with some of the more recent boss additions, I'll probably never try it.

What does interest me is Player Owned Farms - farming is one of my favourite skills, so I'd enjoy this content. The skill perks, well, they are useful, so any additional ones would be welcome.
