"our biggest risk with F2P are players unsubscribing and playing the F2P game. If the revenue generated by Old School starts to suffer because of this there is the possibility of support for it being allocated elsewhere which in turn will mean less updates. " -

I am deeply disappointed by your attitude of underestimating Oldschoo's odds of reviving itself to the same big and vibrant community that used to exist back in 2006, and thus earning you more revenue. I think Old School Runescape & our community have proven themselves countless times to be worthy enough to have permanent F2P and not risk your company's revenue.

Therefore, I've come to the very simple conclusion that Jagex is highly motivated in continuing to maintain Old School as a cash cow, rather than warranting the community's and Old School's long-term welfare.

Jagex, you aren't being 100% honest with us about your real intentions regarding Old School for the long-term, that's the impression I've been getting from you ever since Oldscape's release.

What a shame.

If you can give us the names, we can look at why they are not working. The other thing to be aware of is that you will need to have accessed Old School at least once to be able to access the trial. If you haven't, you can make a new account instead and access the trial.[/quote]

I honestly thought Oldschool Runescape was fully protected from the negative outcomes of your poisonous, greedy pay2win policy.

I'm guessing I'm a fool for having thought that.


You seriously think Runescape is Pay to Win? We have no way to pay in real life cash to get in game cash. The only way this will change is if we poll for the introduction of bonds. Runescape is what we call "Pay to play". If you don't want to pay for a pay to play game, don't play it. Nearly every Pay to play game has a free to play trial, which attracts players. Pay to win are games that you don't pay for but pay in real life money to get gear and items that are overpowered when in comparison those of which aren't paid for.

I've been a paying member most of the time old school has been out. That being said I cancelled my membership a couple weeks ago after first hearing f2p won't be permanent. I'll resubscribe again after, once more jagex decides to flipflop its stance on the issue like they've done countless times on stuff like this.
