Does the game have a cash item shop? Will they be removing that? I can understand if they are removing a cash item shop or something, that is technically a trade of that tevenue for subscription revenue. A little late to the subscription party though, people are wisening up to the fact they end up paying more on subscriptions.

I am not unreasonable though. Nobody ever likes price increases but from the perspective of the business price increases are sometimes necessary to keep up with inflation and cover server costs, etc. I dont know Jagex’s business and financials enough to know if this is necessary for the game to stay online or if it is just greed.

They’ve done a massive purge of MTX throughout the game.
they removed 99% of it, including daily scape. alot of new players and returning ones depend on it to restart the game. Auras are totally obliterated
