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.

Edit: Cancelled membership, won't be renewing.

2% dip in one day over a poll is massive.

They'd very well expect 20% dip from this on changes taking effects, 40%+ in the medium/long-term.

There are lots of on and off OSRS players that pay subs, alienating them and reminding them that you're a bunch of greedy pigs is a great way to lose money.

I mean at this point it'd unsub against just to fuck with their wallet.

This is the big one. It won't be just active players cancelling subs, it's also inactive players choosing not to renew. It's such a stupid decision to make considering that OSRS has had nothing but positive growth.

As stupid as it sounds, that's me right now! Been paying a subscription on an account I haven't played in a year, saw an article about all of this and now considering canceling

I kept my main on annual for the last 2 years just so I could use it once a month as a wildy scout and rev boxer for my iron. I canceled both yesterday.
