RuneScape Forum Archive | Citadel visit for F2P (No cap)

I know that this probably isn't the "biggest issue" with Clans or most needed clan update, but I was just wondering why F2P accounts cannot visit the citadel without capping.

While the reason behind not allowing to cap is obvious and makes sense, it doesn't explain why they cannot interact with other parts of the citadel such as the Clan Battlefield, generally exploring the citadel/attending meetings at the senate etc.

(Citadel visit numbers probably wouldn't be counted for F2P members either)

Just randomly thought about this today, if anyone has any insight, that would be great

If you mean allow F2P accounts to enter citadels like members can, rather then watching the citadel video, I think the reason why F2P cannot enter the citadel is because the citadels are on members servers.

Now as citadels were built on their own worlds, making the worlds F2P may technically enforce other F2P restrictions on members accounts, but I guess it may be possible for Jagex to add a exception list to those worlds that F2P can enter. But this would mean F2P would be interacting with members things which could cause other technical issues. So I think the reason why F2P cannot use clans is just down to clans being on members worlds would be my best guess. A Jagex Verfied Community Helper

I'm not aware of the full reasoning but I do agree with at least allowing F2P to visit citadel to interact with certain features within it like the battlefield or the keep.

I'm all for F2P receiving more content

They can see the tutorial thing I believe. If possible it might be a good idea Ceecs - leader of Ceecs Clan

As it has been explained to me, this is not possible.

Either we would have to have the Citadel as a F2P world - which would mean no members behaviours would function.

Or we would have to manually restrict every possible members type interaction and object for the F2P player in that world.

This would create an enormous amount of work and overhead cost for future development also. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey
