"If this were to happen, the support we give Old School would diminish which would obviously impact on the updates and support you get. It is in both our interest and your interest to ensure that F2P is delivered properly." To put this on your loyal players is kind of silly to me. you cant put the success of your game and your decisions on the back of players just so if the game fails you can blame the players.

STAFF PLEASE READ!


Suggestion:



Bring F2P in
permanently
, so new players won't feel as if their progress is going to go to waste after 2 weeks. HOWEVER, make a VERY limited # of worlds, 1-3 to start so they will be full at all times, which gives F2P players
reason to buy P2P
for less crowded worlds, a
permanent
stay, and then increase the number of F2P worlds as you see fit...

Like others have said, 2 weeks of F2P
will not
be a solution. People convert to P2P as they advance and get higher levels (Eg: Lvl 60 for drag equipment). No one is going to have achieved such stats in 2 weeks... You guys need to look at
long-term solutions
, and not temporary. Permanent F2P means a
bigger chance of increasing player-base LONG TERM
, because 6 months from now,
no one is going to pay
for a product they can't try out first...

I hope this is considered. OSRS staff is making steps in the right direction though, and I support. :)

I agree 100%

Don't you get it, my friend? It's not the OSRS Team's decision how and when we'll be getting F2P.

As long as OSRS is owned by Jagex & IVP who continuously undermine it and put in a huge effort in order to ensure it won't outnumber their dead horse game of RS3 (Which is clearly Jagex's main concern), then unfortunately they won't stop with their hostile attitude towards Oldschool RS.

Any normal and sane company would've permanently opened OSRS to F2P, renamed it and would fully restore the backup of the RS website as of August 2007. Any normal and sane company, shouldn't be underestimating and undermining their own game like Jagex & IVP do.

I completely agree with you. Jagex shouldn't be putting the success of Oldschool on their players shoulders. If they can't see the huge potential Oldschool holds, then it's their problem for not doing enough in order to maximize Oldschool's potential, not ours.

Can someone comment on whether or not accounts have to newly created , or if they only have to account that are not currently paying members?

I think if you want to get the most people back, this F2P trial should be open to existing accounts that are not paying members.
