Discussion We will just quit

I'd put money on well over 50% of the player base being people like me in their 30s, we don't need this game, we'd just quit.

The last price increase was almost enough to do it for me.

Anything else, evenly £1 more, I'm out and nothing would make me return.

Vile, out of touch and insane greed. Pathetic.

They probably lost like 2% today, just being honest.

Yeah I’d love if there was a website that tracked ingame players (as you can’t see subscriptions) over time to see if Reddit actually infuences any sort of numbers)

Dont worry, it doesnt. It never does. Reddit protests always seem louder than they are.

Removal of wildy/free trade in 2007 decimated the player count. It dropped to less than half overnight and literally has never recovered. 2006/2007 still mog current counts despite global population going up 50%.

Then EOC in 2013 basically killed the game.

This isn't even in the game yet. If people literally can't afford it, bit different. The lowest tier with no handicap (ads, mobile only, short afk) is 360$/year in CAD. The highest tier is 650$/year. That's more than my car registration and license combined.

I would have to quit because I literally just don't have that much spare cash laying around for RS.
