Just for academic purposes, it actually makes sense for Jagex to have higher OSRS bond price as it will make it easier for them for monetization purposes.
What does not make sense is blocking out new and low level players.


how is it blocking out low and new players?

its an incentive to buy bonds for low level players to sell in the ge. thats literally the point of bonds. they are mtx. this is what pays jagex bills

this is the supply of bonds


Im here now its ok.

I dont think new players are interested in buying gold, only dedicated players buy gold. Besides a new player would buy say 10 bonds and be like awmg 80m i be rich i buy everything. (even more so on rs3.) If im playing a mmo and theirs pay2win mechanics i usually dont take part in them maybe like $5 but if the game is trying to take my money ALREADY then im not really interested.

I think its more likely people would want to use gold to buy mems even though its not worth it for only 14 days but they dont know that they are new, they also dont know how much of a chore its going to be to make 8m+ f2p or even worse 50M+ (RS3) for 14 days of this miserable grindfest.

Only solution remove all pay2win. F that shit im sick of it pretty obvious when new BIS gear drops and level 100 has it within the first week. So fair.

thats definitely not true, so many new players buy gold (bonds) literally to get good gear and to catch up. its why you see so many low level players in bandos etc.

long term players already have gp.

sure some long term players buy them for gp. but a lot of the bond buyers are new players to get some gear with out the slow grind of slow gp at low levels.

its literally how so many games make their money, people want instant gratification now. and would pay to skip content.

so its fine im here now :) youll be okay


long term players (like myself) by bonds in the ge for either membership, or to merch. no need to buy bonds for gp. i have enough

Its not about them buying gold, its using gold to buy bonds. IF they not buy a bond with gold they make in game, some of them can not be members

Argument would be valid if this game had any news players but it dosnt, sure some people try it out then they realize its nothing but a grind for little to no reward and that other games have LESS of a grind for better rewards/ more players/ and more fun so they stop playing and go play that game. So they might buy like 5 or 10 bonds at first for some sweet GP and then they spend a month grinding out for 1 thing and say f this i have schoo/job/life not dumping every single second of my freetime into this shitshow.

Myself and the missus have just re-started playing this again with the eldest child. (This is my second account from when I restarted when OSRS came out. I need another 50 levels to post on my new account)

We played in 2006 before RS3, then I started again when OSRS came out (she didn't, she obviously saw where it was going)

When I restarted I could easily pay for membership by buying Bonds in game, I could make enough money to do that.

Since we've restarted I'm not sure were going to be able to do that this time. I wasn't that High a level player before, but I think it's going to be easier to buy the Membership, that runs at about £1 a day for us all to play.

Plus we don't use the GE so we're going to be struggling to sell some items I guess that make the most money.

It looks like a lot of effort for new players who don't buy the skills to make enough money to play.

This is where I would have been if I'd kept going on this account instead of starting the new one.

Unethically allowing OSRS DMM gp swapping doesn't seem to be pushing OSRS bond higher by much. Neither is the hypeee observable much from the concurrent player count - only 3 percentage more than the peak of this year although content creators are greatly hyppeeeeedddd with 20-30k viewers daily.

Far more viewers than actually players probably cost OSRS more money to acquire, but viewership is free, and it won't benefits OSRS membership and bond price. So... OSRS may have to pull out more sales tricks.

OSRS Bond trading at official GE high of 8.53 mil gp, eclipsing the record previously set over a month ago on July 19.

I think I know the reason. It is not on whatever "hypeee" of new content. it is definitely not becaus we have more OSRS players and therefore demand, as we are far from having 173k peak concurrent players from years ago when bond was tradiing in the 4 to 5 mil gp range.

The best guess is the rather puzzling allowances of OSRS player swapping OSRS gp to DMM gp. This is insanely affecting the integrity of any competitive contests. So how high can OSRS Bond go? Maybe 10 mil during the unethical DMM gp swappathon?


OSRS Bond set another historical high, reaching 8.58 mil gp yesterday. It is falling back though, maybe the pay to win community aren't keen to pay 10 mil gp per OSRS bond for the DMM gp swappathon.

Thanks to this:

OSRS is still alive 10 years later only because of Bond MTX as a result from that important message from Mod MMG.
