commanderRuneScape's monthly membership now costs as much as a World of Warcraft subscription as Jagex announces its second price hike in less than 2 years
I also want to not that they’ve just:
Removed all pay to win elements Removed all loot box and fomo purchases Added the ability to toggle off other people’s cosmetics in the settings Removed all “dailies”, “hourlies” and any content that would pressure you to log in or not do the activity you’d rather do They overhauled the combat system last week to be more intuitive Are releasing a whole new continent on the 28th to give new players a taste of endgame activities like bossing
The price increase is on the annual subscription, and as a new player I’m letting my monthly sub roll another month. Not saying it doesn’t suck for long-time players but it’s what, another $40 for a game you intend to play for a whole year and will get hundreds of hours out of?
I just started playing RuneScape last month as part of a “group Ironman” and have been having a blast. I want to note this is the new RuneScape and not “Old School”. I honestly think it’s going to surpass OSRS at this rate.
lechekaflan$40 seems a drop in the bucket compared to about 20 years ago when I was then toiling in a Korean F2P while watching the whales turbo-grind their way to lvl200, spending several times more than a game in a shrink-wrapped box.
