let member use the free worlds without trial? only if they are members

Players with membership will be able to log into the free worlds at any time, which is good news for F2P PK clans.

I really think it would be an incredibly smart move to think about adding something like bonds at the same time. You don't lose any revenue because someone has to pay for the bond for it to exist in game, and it will give a lot of the new F2Pers a goal to achieve enough money for a bond in their first two weeks, especially if it is made clear that they exist in old school upon the release of F2P. These of course should only be able to be used on membership, nothing else.

But then RS3 would lose its only positive aspect. Bad idea.

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'm comfortable with bonds. I think it should be polled to come out within the first week of F2P trial, recently I've had a few irl friends start playing because I used my RS3 gp to pay for them. Now they have to rely on "swapping" clan chats to keep their memb if they don't want to pay irl money.
Edit: Or some sort of legit way to swap money between games.

Great to hear of all the work being done to combat bots and the progress that has been made. Looking forward to increased security with a two-step authentication system as well. :) RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.

Hope this also leads to more paying members, it would be nice to have more players around instead of 200 per world

edit: letting it end after 2 weeks would certainly not have made me a member back in the day, if the genuine interest in the game is there, people will become member on their own for more content

Agreed. It just doesn't seem very professional.

"Haha, you just started to enjoy the game, that's great. Now give me money or else you can't play anymore".

I played like a half year free2play before i became a long-time subscriptor What are you, a concerned beaver?

Wasn't this supposed to be coming out tomorrow?

Yes, it was ready today so there didn't seem any point in keeping you waiting longer than necessary.

People would vote no for bonds to be in game though if you can buy them with irl gp also.

Since you can buy gp then pretty much.
