Jagex outrages the Runescape community yet again, this time with a survey hinting at big price hikes and worse service for those who don't want to pay
The survey is strictly "research," Jagex says, but Runescape players are not happy.
Yeah, it’s what happens when things get bought by Private Equity.
I cancelled 3 memberships I have had since ~2016 over this shit.
Ditto. Cancelled two this past September/October when they asked how much you’d be willing to pay if MTX was removed, then promptly raised membership prices and made MTX purchases worth even less (keys to USD ratio). Been playing since 2003 but fuck everything they’ve become.
Damn $32.50 a month for the full tier? That puts them way above every other MMO.
It's like the guy in a trenchcoat selling gas station drugs in a dingy back alley. Gets you hooked at the same price you'd get the "caffeine" pills from the station, then when you come back for more they're suddenly 2-3× the price. It's just good business.
Everyone I know who actually pays to play Jagex games acts like it's meth or heroin...
Not trying to shame folk that do, but the only other times I've seen that level of video game addiction was early days WoW.pretty much everyone I know who plays osrs is extremely addicted, anecdotes of course but I've never seen anyone have a normal relationship with this game
Jagex asks membership money per character.
WoW is cheaper and even gives you 60+ character slots.
The last price hike was really the final straw, but I still have a grandfathered subscription. If any of this goes through, I will cancel and will probably never return.
What is even suggested in the survey is absolutely absurd.
Well there goes any desire I had to get back into the game
