10.99 to play lol

[chonkcat]

i decided to log in and forgot that i actually cant do anything since all my stuff is 70+. i thought membership was 7-8$. but this is almost as much as a ff14 sub for a laggy browser game lmao.

jagex u are getting people to buy keys too so why not just leave the sub a bit cheaper..

im not sure what you mean, even outside of steam on the rs website it says 10.99
https://www.runescape.com/members_benefits

Yes this has been the standard price for like the past 2-3 years. Before this membership was around $10 and before this about $7-8 and way before this was around $5.

I mean honestly if you're going to complain over an $11 monthly sub when other games like FFXIV or even WoW can run up to $15 then you definitely need a different genre of game to play.

i dont mind paying a sub for ff14 but like rs doesn't even compare to ff14 lol. its just like the "idea" of the matter. just seems super cheeky of jagex to charge that much, and it must be working because they have a lot of simps for the franchise idk

i mean its not even close to being the same game. So it should not compare to FFXIV

FFXIV also has less players from what im told.

lol 10.99, play f2p make gp buy bonds get membership for free.

[valaprophecy]

you have 70+ gear and you're telling me you can't make 30m for a bond in f2p lmao. Okay mate.

You don't even need to buy keys per quest gives you 2 keys. Get out here with this.

I suppose it's only a one off too, only new players wouldn't easily keep mems up with in game gold
one day a mth maybe 2 at a real push to keep mems running

Making money in free to play is extremely easy but it just takes some time to set it up.

Lol no. FF14 has far more players than RS3 does. The only thing that makes FF14 a downfall is the lack of love for PVP. But then again, the game has turn into a waifu dating site focused on cosmetics. That said, the player base is large.

Runescape is not a browser game anymore, only downloadable client , java was removed like 1 year ago. Wow costs more so there is that.

[supernet2]

yeah noticed it went from 4.99 to 10.99.

assuming everyone who hasnt played in 5 years knows how to make 30m fast enough to keep bonds up or even cares to grind for a bond. im simply stating that i think 11$ for this game is a bit wild, and thus probably wont be playing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's a whole guide on the Wiki with numberous ways to make multiple million per hour. That's also not even considering that there's many ways to skill and make a decent chunk of change.

https://runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide

Considering the current price is a little over 27.5m for a single Bond, you'd be looking at making just under 2m per day if you wanted to take a couple weeks to save up. That's very feasible in anywhere from 1-2 hours of gameplay with someone having their stats in the mid 70s on Free to Play, not even considering flipping items for profit to add onto that amount.

Thats because you were most likely grandfathered into a plan. I pay $5.95 a month still. The membership prices increased like what 3 years ago?

Also op, this isnt a browser game, you play it off a client LOL Also browser support is basically dead when they stopped java the last year.

No it doesn't Runescape as a whole has 150k on at peak. Obviously majority are on OSRS but RS3 has around 35k-45k at peak.

I don't know where else you can play FFXIV so far I just see Steam and it only shows an average of around 18k. So how does FFXIV have more than RS3 again?

FFXIV is also on PS4, and as far as I've gathered from their Square Enix website, there's a launcher outside of Steam.

And Runescape is on Andriod. That is a HUGE market on its own.
Plus also its own launcher.

The steam DLC is cheaper than Jagex website membership (for me) because of regional pricing.
Hopefully the upcoming Premier Club membership is well priced enough to overlook lack of regional pricing.
Why not wait until Premier Club OP? The price will be way less than 10.99 per month.
Just have to pay 12 months in advance

Do the servers for Android use the same servers/world system that both their own and Steam's launcher uses? If so, we can grab accurate counts with just using Calculator and scrolling.

As far as I'm aware, FFXIV uses the normal "accounts made!" cop-out that WoW has been using for well over a decade. I don't believe they've released their actual numbers based off a couple quick searches.
