Edit: Well at least free players are still in the high scores on FunOrb. :laugh:

That is obnoxious. How arrogant. To think that is how they treat their most important players.

The entire direction of the game towards a generic combat-heavy MMO suited for grinders was building up to it, but the trigger was the removal of Free Players from the high scores. You're talking dedicated people who put time and energy into it just the same as the members, with only one difference. No immediate cash spent. So what. I see them the same way I see, say, grandparents in society. They contribute nothing of value, but the people who do contribute very often do have a sentimental appreciation for them that makes it worth keeping them around.

The shift of making F2P and trial was a big one, i agree. Maybe it was to help catch cheaters, but maybe now they should add free players back in. I recently took a health and aging class and agreed with something said in that class, which is how seniors are mostly invisible. Few things are made to target them outside of needs. There is little reason to stay a free player nowadays. Even less than before when you get messages to become a member and even a big subscribe button that i cant seem to get rid of when i log on. It stays on screen when i play.

There is an absurd number of people maxed at the moment. More than I've ever seen before, and I'd say the longer than usual gap between skills is offset by Dungeoneering requiring 8x the exp to max.

Though, I think that much was obvious considering Cam actually trained skills like Runecrafting and Agility. :P


I'm a better skiller than you bro.

I see them the same way I see, say, grandparents in society. They contribute nothing of value, but the people who do contribute very often do have a sentimental appreciation for them that makes it worth keeping them around. When I got Membership, I lasted as long as I did because my f2p friends were still there to talk to and goof off with. When they lose interest or get shut out? That takes away a great deal of my appreciation for the game. When the bottom line passed the community for importance on that scale, that was it.

Only partially related, I pity the few good Jagex mods who were made to present Jagex's reasons for their bad decisions. I'm pretty sure it was Mod Emilee who had to keep quoting Jagex's bullshit wannabe-lawyer essay to anyone with genuine points or questions about the high score update, and so many people pitied her for being a good person defending a bad idea.

I met quite a few good people over the years, but we all grew apart over time. I had the most fun playing the game when I was skilling, PKing, or just chatting amongst other players. All that's gone now, and nowadays whenever I log into the game I feel like the richest noob ever. :P
