I would cancel my membership to play solely f2p. Did that for the better part of a decade actually. To support old school I'd keep it members, of course that's not the case for every hard core f2per. The news article is mostly understandable I appreciate the fact that jagex shed some light on the situation instead of being their usual deceptive self.

But this part definitely got my head scratching:
"disable yew trees for the trial. We saw a huge amount of accounts with level 40 woodcutting standing around scratching their heads"

How many of old school j mods don't play rs?

This thread is full of so much 'I know better than Jagex how to keep Runescape popular, even though Jagex is an actual business with professionals who have been employed for just this kind of decision and have been making these kind of decisions for years'.


Their decisions may not always be the most popular with the playerbase, but I guarantee you that they're the most profitable - hence why Jagex profits keep rising every year. What good is a popular game if everyone is F2P and not making Jagex any money? 'Oh but some of them will subscribe eventually' evidently not enough for it to be worthwhile, and as Jagex have proven, most accounts that become subscribers do so in the first 5 or 6 days of playing.

I'm Speechless. You guys want us to suffer don't you? lmao. I bet you 07 devs hate your jobs.

F2P Isnt optional It's needed for publicity to the game. it has only positives Such as drawing people in and driving activity in pking etc. So what if a new account is made and they dont subsribe? you said yourself you didnt lose members so it can only be a good thing that the player base goes up and more people will become a member over time.

I dont get u.

Cancelling my member on 3 accounts if you dont poll perm f2p soon im done this game has no future cos you clearly dont want it to have one

in that case .. i'm gone. No f2p for new people = not the runescape i want to play. Shame on you jagex. You just killed pking for F2P.

Pretty much this. Got 2 f2p pkers, im so dissapointed. both of which i bought members on just so i could train up btw. I dont give a fk about paying for it. i just love f2p pking when its active.

I think you should extend the Summer Special an extra 4 weeks, to push it into the back end of summer.

In that time people are due to get grades from schools etc, rewards from parents, may increase the amount of people paying for membership.
