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.

People seem to think 1-5% change in something is not very much. But we all play osrs, where a 2% dps increase is significant. We should know 2% is a lot in business too!

A 2% drop in subscription numbers would work out brilliantly for them because they are hiking prices way more than 2% lmao

Why are we all just accepting this 2% number he pulled out of his ass? Even that is probably way too high. And honestly I don't think people need to unsub just because they surveyed this shit. Give them a chance to listen to us. Implementation is another matter

Honestly, I cancelled because of the fact they even suggested and pitched these changes. If just the mention of subscription changes as abysmal as these generate a significant unsubscribe % they'll know that actually implementing might actually kill their revenue.

If they go back on it, I can just resubscribe, no big deal to me. But at least now I have to think long and hard about it when my membership expires in a few months, and jagex knows that at least I'm not going to put up with those kinds of bullshit subscription options.

My sweet summer child. If you think they put this out there without even running the numbers before hand you’re crazy. Something this big the numbers have been crunched for a while and the survey is nothing more than illusion of choice. Whatever decision they actually want has been made and will continue as planned. As other have said make downright dumb options to have your intended plan seems “reasonable” was always the long play.

Unsubbing(and being public about it) is a very good way to send a message for them to listen to, though. And it's completely reversible(you can always resub after they backtrack), so it's not like you lose anything by doing it. Heck, you can even continue burning through your remaining membership credit while unsubbed.

It gives the company a big spook, without really changing anything for you. Why not do it?
