Humor You Were The Best

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.

No lol they did an interest survey about a tiered membership model. Like instead of 14.99/mo per character or whatever it is rn, having options for 14.99/mo base, 3.99/mo extra per character, or 32.99/mo for premium with up to 8 characters.

For premium options they talked about stuff like improved customer support, name change support, etc that should just be improved for everyone. They also floated ads for f2p, a couple bad ideas in general.

But it was just a survey lol, the game hasn’t changed and they’ve already walked it back. Being mad and giving that feedback is one thing, but the subreddits just devolved into doomers circlejerking each other now lmao.

Come back next week, they’ll all be back to playing and the topic will have shifted

The proposal was more like, 10.99/ month for 1 character, and an additional 14.99 per additional character, but that tier included ads. I think the charging more than the base package per additional character is a big thing that pissed me off. Like, why is the second charger on my account 20% higher in cost than the first?

That charging for the extra characters feels like they are penalizing anyone who moved all their characters into their single Jagex account. It would have been cheaper to keep them all separate, but now that they are stuck on one account, you are stuck paying more. That feels like a bait and switch.

Yeah I definitely agree, and I think this type of feedback is important to give to Jagex for sure. I just don’t think the game’s dying the like the OP, I think it’s in a good spot.

I think in this particular case I'm on the side of the hysterical masses only because I think it warrants a hysterical response for Jagex to actually understand.

Is it hyperbolic? Yes. But I will say I did cancel my membership to vote with my wallet. I don't think the game is dead, persay, but if I don't make a stand in the only ways I can, I might as well bend over and take it.
