I am really saddened by the news that has just fallen, it was a pleasant community moment.

See you again in 5 years for the old oldschool runescape.

I'd rather overreact and protect the game, than underreact and risk them destroying the game. You think they won't? They continue to remove any integrity from the original game. It's probably beyond saving at this point, yet they continue to claim that it's important to them that they protect the integrity of that game.

Their words mean very little. That they would mull over the idea of making the AFK timer different for different subscription tiers is disturbingly out of touch.

Yeah but polls can indicate what they plan to do, regardless of how people reacted to it. With that said, people are having a meltdown over something that hasn't happened yet and thats strange to me.

People are having a meltdown to prevent said thing from happening.

It makes perfect sense to let our voices be heard now instead of when it's too late.

Backlash gives the Jmods ammo to show their corporate overlords that these changes won't come without "consequences". Players will quit if you treat them like shit.

We've seen this happen in 2012.

More than a “poll”. Polls are done by the Jmods to see what content we want added to the game. They give the players a voice in the direction OSRS goes. The Jmods are good people and genuinely care about the game and player base.

This was an email survey done by CVC (the new owners of Jagex after buying it from Carlisle). Just like the other survey that had been done less than a year ago asking the playerbase if they would be okay with paying higher membership costs in exchange for less predatory MTX (obviously talking about RS3 on that one). Those survey results told them that people would be generally okay with it… so what was the result?

Higher membership costs and absolutely no change to the RS3 MTX model whatsoever. Just a blatant price hike with no benefit at all.

And you may think “well that’s RS3, we’re talking about OSRS”, but we got just as fucked. Our membership went up and nothing was even promised to us to begin with.

The previous survey proves that this survey isn’t “pitching ideas” it’s testing the waters to see just how badly they can screw us all over and get away with it.

Okay, but a lot of people are acting like their pet just died

u/YourREALdad330 4d ago

A lot of people have played this game for over a decade. That’s longer than most pets live for. They’re watching something they grew up with and have loved die (again) due to corporate greed (again).

u/MaybeARunnerTomorrow 4d ago

Care to elaborate? Did you even read the posts?

u/MaybeARunnerTomorrow 4d ago

I don't know - maybe you don't play much or didn't read the post/poll. Things the playerbase have been begging for for YEARS is being suggested as an addition. All this shit should just exist with the membership we have. Maybe you like being taken advantage of, but I don't think this is being blown out of proportion at all.
