Are you a free player on runescape? are you fed up that free players don't get any "good" updates and we have to play the same thing over and over? talk about it here.

That's the thing. If they did keep updating the F2P there'd be no reason to become a member. No membership- no money coming in to Jagex & the game gets shut down. F2P is only meant to give you a taste of the game.

So Jagex is supposed to pay their employees & bills only once? To do a one time fee & the company make money it would have to be incredibly high. Would you like to pay a $500 - $600 one time fee? Most of us couldn't come up with that much at one time. Jagex is a business & has to be run as such. If you compare them to other online games they're one of ( if not THE ) cheapest, often at less than 1/3 the monthly cost of other games.

Members are what keep Jagex going, so obviously their going to get the goods. It is pretty awesome how F2P got access to HD though.

Even so, Jagex could afford to give f2p players SOME nice updates " I was a non-member for awhile and the "You must be a member to access this feature" got really annoying. So I can sympathize for f2p players who's parents won't buy them membership.

Well a lot of people are here to get membership, I just might get membership also but i think i would rather invest my money than just spend it on this game. Don't get me wrong I loved playing this with my firends, but most don't play it anymore so i kinda don't see the point in playin it anymore. Some of my friends play flyff and some don't even play anything, I might follow suit since mmos are beging to bore me a bit. Maybe i'll come back when DarkFall comes out or anything that remotely resembles it but until then I'm probbaly gonna say goodbye to Online multiplayer games.

I think that there are enough updates on free to play worlds right now. New minigames like fist of guthix, new quests like Christmas and halloween quest, achievement diary for lumbridge and varrock, pvp worlds and bounty hunter, new runecrafting guild and corrupt dragon things. It is still better to become member.

well it's 'free' so go figure... it takes money to develop new stuff so of course they would upgrade the members world in order to attract more ppl to get a membership btw, adding fist of guthix, clan wars and duel arena to the free world were some good updates to the free worlds. dont really expect anything as big as that anytime soon.

Well yea,but I'm making money off of this,and publishing content on triond,to get money for the rs membership,so I'm not really that mad.but it is true they do need to update the free to play version,and yes they would have servers down and so many problems with the players.
