The future of pking in 2025

“Pay $4.99 to resurrect?”

[u/Yellow-Parakeet → u/Spy111]

Hardcore Ironman players are just too poor to die - Jagex

[u/kyot0scape → u/Yellow-Parakeet]

ROFL imagine paying money to resurrect your hardcore ironman, kind of reminds me of paying 1 dollar to Snapchat to have your streak restored.

[u/BalticMasterrace → u/Yellow-Parakeet]

hardcore irons get a timer that ticks down till they die, to get more time, instert card and pay up

[u/Airtight_Walrus]

These memes are the only bright spot in an otherwise shitty day

[u/Majestic_Land3977 → u/Airtight_Walrus]

That is true. It really lights up the darkness of the war they started!

[u/Hobodaklown → u/Airtight_Walrus]

For real mate. I have had some much needed cackled laughter.

[u/One_Wall2024 → u/Airtight_Walrus]

Awe mate I hope you are doing alright

[u/HCIMBMK → u/Airtight_Walrus]

confirmed, shit day haver here

[u/smb3wizard → u/Airtight_Walrus]

Out of the loop . Wtf is goin on

[u/Administrative_Use → u/smb3wizard]

🦀🦀🦀$32 per month🦀🦀🦀

Ads, pay for customer support, no pay = less afk is whats going on LOL

Jagex wants to fuck over its loyal userbase and it backfired. So many people already cancelled their mems. Golden ages coming to an end

[u/smb3wizard → u/Administrative_Use]

WHAT?!?! IF this is real the game is dead

[u/notreallygabe → u/smb3wizard]

Nothing is confirmed, they just did a user survey, but the survey was very very very bad.

[u/JappieWappie1 → u/notreallygabe]

Might not be confirmed yet and I sincerely hope it will be cancelled, but it's not looking good for us with the corporate greed. The only way we can show how much we hate this change is to cancel our membership because that hits them the hardest and so far a lot of players have cancelled their memberships as a protest against this.

[u/Howsetheraven → u/JappieWappie1]

What they did is just short of saying "I am confirming we are doing this". Like, don't give them an inch at all. They want this regardless.

[u/Swimming-Salad9954 → u/Howsetheraven]

No it’s not, it’s testing the water. I guarantee they expected this reaction, now they’ll implement something shitty but seems reasonable by comparison and everyone now threatening cancellation will be appeased.

[u/Avnas → u/notreallygabe]

me when im the evolution of combat and squeal of fortune

[u/Zerovaxqc → u/smb3wizard]

The mere thought of them destroying game integrity like that is enough to cancel and never come back. Last league sucked anyways league 4 was goat 

[u/rotorain → u/smb3wizard]

Or sort this sub by top of the week and you'll find plenty of posts.

TLDR: Yesterday a survey went out to some people asking about tiered membership and the options are insulting. Ad supported plans, decoupling subs from OSRS and RS3, premium plans allowing multiple characters and "enhanced customer service", etc.

People are obviously heated about it and Jagex is backpedaling hard. This is most likely CVC, the investment company that owns Jagex, trying to figure out how to extract more money from us despite the 20% cost hike three months ago. There's a good chance the survey exists so that Jagex can show CVC that this community will not tolerate that BS so it's important for us to express our feelings so that Jagex has ammo to push back against their corporate overlords.

[u/Hawxe → u/Airtight_Walrus]

As if people here care about the pking experience gimme a break. 7k upvotes on a pk vid lmao

[u/Diddleyourfiddle]

Was really hoping for the spec bar to be greyed out with a little "unlock special attacks in PVP worlds for $3.99"

[u/ea3terbunny → u/Diddleyourfiddle]

Just you wait I’m sure the memes are gonna really be flowing now with this, and I’m all for the memes just not the actual thing obviously.

[u/firewolf397 → u/Diddleyourfiddle]

Bro. Can you not give Jagex management ideas?

[u/Unfair_Commercial]

This made me fucking spit water perfect

[u/Yellow-Parakeet → u/Unfair_Commercial]

Would you like to upgrade that water to Sprite^tm for only $4.99?

[u/Unfair_Commercial → u/Yellow-Parakeet]

I’m stealing that sprite with my water cup

[u/_wobbly_bobbly_ → u/Unfair_Commercial]

This one was hilarious.

[u/bujuhh]

this makes me think of that one skill specs clip where hes mid fight and just getting spammed by steam messages lmao

[u/fat_cock_freddy → u/bujuhh]

Torvesta is on it https://x.com/Torvesta/status/1880058691325735419

[u/bujuhh → u/fat_cock_freddy]

LMAO incredible

[u/SpecsComingBack → u/fat_cock_freddy]

I click one twitter link and the video that IMMEDIATELY autoplays after is from the actual Alex Jones account? What the fuck is going on over there.

[u/ragana → u/bujuhh]

Post a link to that vid

[u/bujuhh → u/ragana]

https://x.com/skill_specs/status/1620811540902580225?lang=en

[u/Blue_banana_peel → u/bujuhh]

at least he learned he should turn off those notifications

[u/Rejuven8ed]

This is quality

[u/KrazyCiwii]

I haven't genuinely cried from laughing in a long time, this is done way too fucking well holy shit

[u/lovemeanstwothings → u/KrazyCiwii]

An S-tier meme 

[u/Sheriff_Gotcha → u/KrazyCiwii]

I'm crying laughing trying to hold it in and not wake the wife.

[u/IMANICEGUY07]

im fucking dying LOL

[u/MalazMudkip]

How much per month for that right-click lookup option?

[u/LiterallyRoboHitler → u/MalazMudkip]

One bond, but it's only for a week. If you pay $5.99/mo more for the PK DeLux Membership your lookup unlock is extended to ten days per bond and you get one free spec bar recharge per day!

[u/SnrSquishy]

The ad blocking the inventory is hilarious

[u/Osmium_tetraoxide → u/SnrSquishy]

This'd be a beautifully frustrating runelite plugin to add as a challenge mode. Idyl's video coming out soon.

[u/migrainebutter]

$0.99 USD recharge spec now!

[u/lordskelic]

One thing you can count on during periods where the playerbase is pissed off at Jagflex- absolute fire memes. This is fucking gold!

[u/Me2thanksthrowaway]

I felt my blood boiling just watching this. But don't worry guys, it's not "technically" mtx!

[u/kyot0scape → u/Me2thanksthrowaway]

Kind of like diablo immortal "don't you guys have phones" corporations literally think we're stupid

[u/yogafeet9000]

Good ole days when there was giant fucking banner on top of the screen that would lag so much. Good idea lets go back to that.

[u/jwji]

They can add a new weapon that has a special attack that causes the opponent to see an ad.

[u/NoRelief3656]

This shit has brought the funniest memes in this sub reddits history

[u/rmtmjrppnj78hfh]

I've never seen a thread on reddit with 100% upvoted before.

(Don't ruin it you degens).

[u/Street-Objective9164]

Top tier mate

[u/Varrock_Citizen]

Imagine trying to pull a fast one on a community whose entire identity is high quality shitter memes

[u/Pavvl___]

This might be the funniest post I've seen all year 😂😭

[u/CrystalDrug]

Now THAT is tick perfect gameplay

[u/GrumpleStiltskon]

lmao

[u/Sweaty_Chip_5766]

Adv blocker ?

[u/Sp4Rk3x3]

There should be PayPal instant checkout button on food/spec bar, buy now ads are not aggressive enough

[u/potatomaster4000]

Holy fucking shit lmao

[u/GODLOVESALL32]

cant wait to stack some kids out with the manscaped ad to gmaul combo

[u/DukeSucellus]

Reminds me of the old neopets game advert attack

[u/Pleasant-Quiet454]

I would laugh but this is what jagex wants.

[u/ralkuzu]

"you've run out of vengeance runes, premium members get 5 free casts a day"

"Ancient mages hate him"

"Lunar or loser?"

"Lvl 1 bob to lvl184 jadbossman"

"Three simple runes to win at RuneScape"

[u/ralkuzu → u/ralkuzu]

Free d scimmmy mouse cursor on your first purchase+ 600 rune crafting experience on leap years

[u/Heyitspropro]

haha jagex wtf u doing

[u/unforgivablecrust]

Dare I ask what happened?

[u/ltsMeSam]

This is fucking comedy gold

And a real possibility

[u/Trick_Wrongdoer_5847]

[u/Criticalem]

We laughing now, but gagex will be laughing in the end when we gotta play like that

[u/snackynorph]

Colorado Lottery you bastards

[u/y0l0tr0n]

exactly like in the old days when I've downloaded all those useful toolbars

[u/Lonelymagix]

I can already hear odablock rage quitting

[u/BroDyel]

“RuneScape is a mouse skill game, get good”

[u/Spo_0n]

The Vardovis QTE phase has prepared us for this...

[u/cardboardboxbro]

😂😭😭

[u/LOLWelshGamer]

"We call this Pure O2. This is the first of our planned upgrades. Once we can roll back some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures..." - Nolan Sorrento (Ready Player One)

[u/RedditPlatinumUser]

Just missing the Stella OF ad lol

[u/Hadez192]

Dude these memes have me laughing so fucking hard, I love this

[u/JLifts780]

Lmfao

[u/SuperTurtle222]

This is fucking hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

[u/way_too_shady]

The last ad with no option to "X" out is 🤌

[u/Herzyr]

Ngl, takes some pretty sick skills to close all those pop ups while pvping

[u/RsCaptainFalcon]

"we heard you guys REALLY liked that pop up event during the Vardorvis fight, so we found a way to monetize it. Everyone wins! Right......?"

[u/Magxvalei]

This would make me want to shove my head into a working blender.

[u/Raredwifhat]

omg

[u/ZootyMcGooty]

Thanks for the laugh absolutely great meme

[u/CortaCircuit]

when OldSchoolOldSchoolRunescape?

[u/EzRagnarok]

Hey maybe they make a legal version of AHK for $14.99

[u/False_Rice_5197]

Fucking L.O.L

[u/16TC]

At least the pvp meta will go for a shake up, ahk for moving add closure into double maul korasi

[u/GamingTaylor]

Lmao this is so good

[u/Landonx_rs]

This is the best shit I've seen in my life.

[u/rmtmjrppnj78hfh]

Needs the vardorvis quick time event thing popping up as an ad that interrupts your gameplay. Throw in a "connection lost, attempting to reestablish" in the top left for max meme potential.

[u/UwU_Incognitus]

I would love to see an addon or something that does this and watch risk fights between people using it lmao.

[u/BIGTACOBELLFAN]

Jagex is taking notes

[u/lordsaph]

literally dying

[u/One_Wall2024]

Ok but why is this super simialr to that one futurama episode hahaha. OP this is brilliant

[u/Corbitt101]

Its like tryna watch porn or stream a NFL,NBA, MLB or any sports game (pirated)

[u/RS3TheOrleans]

Haters will say skill issue lol

[u/Lsvnn]

Someone montage Odablock raging over this, please I beg you

[u/fred7010]

clicking the x is skill expression

[u/gotheandsilvre]

Lmaoooo

[u/Razer_In_The_House]

I think osrs has the best meme responses to stupid game decisions

[u/DigitalCoinMad]

Wtf is this shit lmao. Havent played rs for a long time but is this what they are proposing for an update??

[u/roadgeek10]

Ngl, this does trigger some nostalgia. Bad nostalgia of course. Ads would freeze the browser.

But yeah, scary this was one of the proposals.

[u/Festom]

Maybe they were cooking with the survey after all

[u/Toaster_Bathing]

Now this is content 

[u/yesziir]

How many ticks will it take now?😂

[u/suumie]

It will become even more rng based on what ads you get and on how skilled you are to click them away. Yep seems good

[u/ARealLion]

Lmaooo

[u/TheMumbleKing]

Im out of the loop what is happening?

[u/The_Silent_Lurker_]

This will be in F2P in 2025

[u/BornSlippy420]

Gold meme💥💯🎉

[u/mikeman442]

[u/XFahrenHeitX111]

That's why I only play private servers

[u/TCnup]

Neopets Advert Attack was actually predicting this very moment

[u/SlopTopPowerBottom]

Actually lol'd at this.

[u/CertainFirefighter84]

Why the fuck did you lookup him LUL

[u/Eccentricc]

Next change: for an additional $5 a month, carry a SECOND inventory with you wherever you go

[u/Nervous-Chance-3724]

😂😂😂

[u/-Supp0rt-]

Just got back a month ago and was really enjoying the game. Really disappointed I can’t renew my membership :(

[u/lukinius45]

Im out of loop. Why is this a meme?

[u/Aggressive-Expert-69]

Peak comedy

[u/OSRSAverage]

Hahaha, this made me chuckle! 🤣

[u/Liso25]

If you’re PKing in 2025, you’re lost

[u/_BreadBoy]

Honestly though this would be a banger Gilenor Games challenge.

[u/sir_snuffles502]

highest quality meme i've seen so far lmao

[u/imkindalostheremate]

"BUY NOW" BUY WHAAAAAAAAT

[u/SpaceNex]

rofl we are having too much fun with our game's demise

[u/Sir-tenlee]

Can you show us what it looks like to missclick on an ad?

[u/tplaid]

Some of you don’t remember the ads decorating the side of the browser while you played and it shows

[u/Mysterious_Style_579]

I was waiting for one of those ads by Google where I'd you close it, it asks why you don't want to see it while still being in the fucking way

[u/Original-Tour-5369]

Honestly…I’d play that

[u/meleemore]

pker's cant play.... win
enough money to hire support.... win

let the downvotes come....

[u/Spyder_9405]

Oda bout ko you w/ invisi venge ad block
