Easy solution: Remove the 2 week trial and just make F2P a permanent release for ALL players while still making all players pay for membership.

Honestly this is a better solution considering a huge chunk of your playerbase (including myself) will remain members and just use F2P worlds alongside them. I know personally that I'll be using pking F2P as soon as it's released, due to that being my favorite style of pking. We're only paying around *7 a month to have full access to the game.

This way, you'd satisfy both new and continuing players. That actually does absolutely nothing. There are already 2 f2p PKing worlds and they're dead.

They're dead because a lot of players curious about this game don't want to pay the money to try it out. I have a few friends that don't do anything but F2P, but don't want to have to pay for a service that was once free.

Some players just want the old F2P.

Very much looking forward to free to play. I have several friends who played and never became members for financial reasons.. However I enjoyed making a free to play account for pking with them WHILE keeping membership on my main. F2p doesn't remove members from the game IMO. It may remove some players from the P2P worlds on occasion but they won't cancel subscriptions.


I'm glad to see f2p is given this opportunity, but what new player wants to join a game knowing that it may no longer be free in 2 weeks? Don't know how I feel about the trial idea. I've been a member for 6 years now, but I started with at least a year of f2p. The results can't be expected immediately. It takes new players a while to go through the f2p aspects of the game and want to become a member to explore more.

Great the game has now just officially died. During Halloween the "increase" in players was accounts made so they could keeping doing the event to get masks to sell. Welcome all the f2p botters to the new rs3. So a big thank you to jagex for once again F****** up the runescape. And it seems like they want it to die because if enough ppl quit from f2p they will decrease supp to old school so instead of not risking killing they game their doing it anyway.

Looks like a step in the right direction.

Good work jagex!, hopefully this doesn't flop - and am sure it won't, we're seeing a massive decrease in bots and with F2P and the current bot system we might eradicate bots to such an extent that it will no longer threaten/annoy any of us!.

I say that because am sure people will try to abuse the 2 week free trial to get skills up - if they can get banned before those 2 weeks are up then they'll will be less inclined to bot in the future!.

YES! just what we needed! wooot!

Which is why they aren't too keen on given us Free to Play. People will cancel their membership and play only the free version.

I can't see this free to play trial being successful.

I think Jagex should put another advert on Tv&Fb& more for those oldschool player's who don't have contact with anyone that might still play Runescape to bring back a bunch off players who quit after jagex's poor mistake off bringing EoC..
