Haha, they're giving us full and permanent F2P and people still want to whine about everything! Good riddance, just be grateful for once.

So...thanks Jagex for everything you're doing, I am appreciative of having F2P. Your restrictions sound fair and minimal to have the most impact on bots. I look forward to seeing how it does at launch! :)

This is ridiculous. I was really looking forward to doing some level 3 F2P pking. I even had my friends which of whom were going to create accounts, not getting drops ruins the fun in it. This is a huge turn off for me. I thought this was going to be a community run game, these tweaks should be polled or not offered at all.

Now I'm not going to be one of those people who complain about something and don't offer a solution. What if we introduced capt*ha's on f2p. Ones similar to those we saw on rsc. These would eliminate your bot issue and still maintain a fun and healthy game environment for the people actually playing.

That sounds fair. :) Super excited for this.
I only intend on completing all the quests anyway.
The highest requirement being 70 cooking.
The increased spawn rate of monsters around lower level areas will help out a lot though, as there will be a HUGE amount of players.

this is ridiculous. we asked for full and permanent f2p, and not for any ******* restrictions, why the hell did we even vote for this then?


I don't want to spend 24 hours on this game just to pick up some damn loot

f2p pking will not be alive as long as you still try to give us so many restrictions ffs.

this is a complete joke, we asked for full f2p and not restricted f2p, idc about bots. you guys broke again another promise


^^^
That's someone that will be botting to the max.. If you are going to PK, you're going to have to put in hours regardless to train your account. In order to PK you also need money, so you will be spending time making some money for that.

Anyone with this attitude are the ones that will be botting. :)

i know you dont read this after the first hour of the post going up but hey

why the hell are you ruining the f2p experience for the FIRST DAY which is the MOST IMPORTANT DAY that decides if someone will keep playing. Not being able to loot for 24 hours? killjoys need to learn to run a game this is terrible..

You made ftp Pking pointless so many people make new accounts to immediately Pk with after tutorial island but now we can't. We don't want to wait 24 hours can't you just make it so that the max wealth transferred by death is like 50k?

Hello Everybody,

I didn't stop and read anyone's comments because of how irritated I was with the limitations put on new f2p accounts.

I mean cannot trade for the first 24 hours? How many new players will pick up OSRS and be like "WTF? I can't trade?" and then quit.

And of course if I start a new account, I'm going to want to give him loads of stuff. If I didn't want to do this I would create an ironman.

"Having this limit in place will give us the ability to catch bots before they are ever able to get resources off their accounts while only preventing players from trading in the period of game time where they are least likely to do so."

^What does this even mean? How will that give them the ability? Botters will simply wait 24 hours and then start botting... And most botting accounts will be canceled membership accounts and not have this affect anyways!

"If you have ever been a member this restriction will not apply to you."

^Sounded to me like its all about the $$$. Bots are still paying subscriptions for Jagex up until now. Which leads to Bonds and why we need them?

Personally, I have no idea about RS3 bonds but you can't just throw a few graphs at me suggesting without bonds we cannot do this. Again, all about the ***.

What is the cost of opening or converting a few more servers into f2p? But yet there's no discussion on it.

Well that's all I have to say about this update. GO F2P though! Totally for it!

P.S. I remember one time I started a new account got a few str stats and ran to the wildy and picked a fight with a lvl 4. Good times. Good times.

^P.S.S If I killed myself in that new f2p wildy fight and did not get my amulet of accuracy drop I'd be sooo butthurt.

Sincerly,

Macks1 ;)
