I can't wait to see the forums flood with rage posts when they decide that it's not worth it.

You realise that's almost impossible since they need membership for that?

Even the trolls are less smart as back in 2007...

I swear there was a well advertised poll which we voted on and f2p access at all had to reach a certain criteria. In fact significant updates had to reach a certain criteria. I specifically didn't vote until it was guaranteed those criteria would not be met and as such I am wonder why were those criteria made in the first place when they are turning out to be nothing but lies? Oh look an idiot who came over from RS3 that's afraid of OSRS.

Mat, I hope you realize these polls will be greatly influenced by players like him and you will need to protect against it. It shouldn't even be voted on really.

If they can get hacking, scamming and bots under control there is absolutely no reason to vote no, only trolls would lol... Not to mention it isn't even an update really.

Does F2P in oldschool mean you have to be a Member or have an account is Main RuneScape to play?

You don't need anything at all, you can make a grand new account and play F2p with it.
You can't do this yet, but you can in about 2 weeks probably.

Having a method for players to use their GP to buy their membership would be fantastic. If the community are comfortable with bonds being bought for real money in Old School then we'd add it to the next poll. I support for bonds being released if those can be only used on membership.

a little question about the F2P trial:

The testing of F2P will last for two weeks. Then what? Will you somehow "freeze" the servers until you've researched the results of the trial and open them again if you think the trial was succesful, or will you delete the servers after the trial period? My point is that if I would be a potential player who thinks of starting to play runescape again, it wouldn't bee too enticing to know that my account will be gone after two weeks and the progress I'd make during that time would be meaningless. Will the players who make an account for the F2P trial be able to continue their adventure if you release F2P in full force, or will they need to make new accounts then?

Good call on introducing F2P to new accounts only - this is a good way to gauge whether or not it actually helps. But I think it's definitely worth trying.

With the autotyper you're releasing, what are the limits on it? I'm afraid of EVERY bank becoming similar to World 1/2 and I really don't want to see that everywhere I go. It'd only effectively eliminate spam should I choose to use it, but since I only like to trade via offline sites (since I enjoy lazy trading), I would still see it as spam, and I'm not the only one who does this. So I'd like a way to NOT see it should I wish to not see it.
