Personally, I'm not in an uproar over the prices changes. Jagex isn't alone in the fact that cost of business increases every year and these kind of price hikes are inevitable.

However, I do agree that the content in the last 2-3 years has been very disappointing. So far this year we're on a better track, but Jagex has a identity crisis that needs to be resolved.

The updates listed here for damage control are alright. I definitely am excited for the dungeons (story mode) & the player owned farms. I just hope that you begin to tackle dailyscape a bit more, this is one of my biggest complaints at the moment.

We'll see what is to come!

? ok but seriously .....

I have heard you have lots of content you have promised?
there has been lots of interactions with other companies?

you seem to be have critical issues with updates? when was the last hardware update? do you host your own servers or lease em?

whats the perspective on all the stalled projects?
whats the issue lack funds, management issues, lack of talent?

after all one never knows maybe we might be able to find interested patronage lol

I don't want to talk to Runescape staff on Twitter. I want to talk to them on the OFFICIAL RUNESCAPE FORUMS. Problem?

I'm not interested in playing Runescape on Mobile. If I worked or studied all day I'd be even less interested.

I don't want to Dungeoneer with other people. I've solo'd my arse off to get where I'm at. I don't want to be obliged due to difficulty to join rip-off leech teams or scammers. Thanks for that. Great development.

Hanging out with an old bird in a wheelchair feeding cows? Yeah, rocking stuff. It'd be like hanging out with myself.

A.N. Other Boss. Expected.

Tbh this crap only costs me a few quid a month but I'm seriously thinking now ... Jagex has totally run out of steam.

Spend the money on people with imagination.

and the Banter continues.

Fact: the rs community will NEVER be happy or satisfied
Fact: EVERYONE thinks what THEY want should be priority
Fact: many seem to play other Games outside of rs which is why so many COMPARE rs to those others
Fact: they wanted explanations and now they got them and it's NOT good enough and picked apart
Fact: no one in the rs community works for rs but they act like they do
Fact: NO ONE likes everything the same
Fact: Everyone wants everything yesterday and as promised
Fact: the % divided on being maxed, All 99's, newbies, OSRS seems to be all over and everyone thinks 1 group or another is catered to instead of considering that Jagex staff is trying to Balance every group to an extent to their ability
Fact: Polls were created to have community input and even when the results were clear people were still hurt with the outcome
Fact: Runelaps was created to bring community ideas to the forefront and it failed because of everyone having a difference of opinion on what or why to add their ideas.
Fact: People want tons and tons of content, but they not even close to maxed yet
Fact: people either dislike or like quests and neither group is ever happy with the speed or amount released
Fact: the Bossing Community never seems content and always seems to ask for more and harder stuff
I could go on but I end with this....... How in the hell do you expect RS Staff to cater to EVERYONE when no one can agree on the same things and always put the company down on any update. You call updates mediocre, not enough or worth it, YET you are not EMPLOYED by runescape and have NO CLUE on the work behind the scenes.

So do you like paying more for stuff? If you do then you're insane :P

Thats what it comes down to for me, nobody can answer.

Jagex has been making record profits. Microtransactions are out of control. And they're RAISING their membership price?

Make no mistake, this is to ensure that new accounts for group ironmen are forced into the higher priced membership, and that new mobile players pay more.

Old players can just leave. They don't want you, especially since you won't pay as much as the new mobile users.

I truly and sincerely thank you for posting this. No one is ever happy with anything, and all they do is complain. It's sad really. I'm rather happy with RS and what they try to do for us, too bad not everyone can have the same mindset. If no one likes MTX, then instead on chronically complain, don't buy it, it's quite simply really.

Hey everyone,

<strong>Note: The information about the price change only applies to new players, read more <a href="http://services.runescape.com/m=news/price-changes---4th-june-2018">here</a></strong>

Earlier this week, we announced our plans to raise the prices of membership and premium packages in RuneScape. 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.


lmao @ jagex making recordbreaking profits and then justifying raising their membership prices with concept art of an old lady in a wheelchair
