I would pay once and not hundred € per year

[Perahoky]

If this game would be worth it, i would pay once to play it instead of free & membership.
But this game is really expensive, much more expensive than many other games while having lower value.
Thats not fair.

Example: Many very good (better) games today cost around 60€ - WITH getting updates like MC or NMS.

This games cost at least 89€ for one year and then you lose your access to premium.
Thats stupid, change that and you got me!
An other RPG game is free too, but they get their money by customizations. This ia a good balance between free and premium.

Or you could create addons if you need money to keep on improving.

Conclusion:
A non-AAA game shouldn't be more expensive than a AAA game with endless (full featured) play time.

How many of those games let you pay with ingame gold for membership
other than the very early game, no one has to buy mems , it's extremely easy to make enough gold to pay for mems with very little effort

Yes, many games are likely. But i think we should look for the better examples and follow them instead of seeking the bad ones.

This game has more content then multiple $60 AAA garbage fests put together. Paying once or twice for Membership and using in-game Coins to buy further membership is infinitely better than forcing me to pay X amount every expansion.

If you want that trash, WoW is still kicking around and will be happy to take your money for low quality reskin'd expansions with more bugs than your backyard, plus $15 a month fee.

its like WoW.. you pay monthly to play the real game. And like in WoW.. you have content for more than 4000hours playtime.. I have now 6000hours playtime. Many friends of me have over 10.000 hours playtime in WoW... a AAA Game which costs you 60 buckets can give you maybe 100-200hours maximum playtime until it gets bored..

++ later(if you are good enough) you can play the game with membership without paying real money but ingame money

Its not that expensive tbh, Once you pay w/ irl money for a few months and get your character set up to where you then can buy bonds w/ in game gold. Then you wouldn't have to use irl money again.

That's the point in it. Jagex can make a mint off you as you open your wallet each time.

A Lifetime Subscription would be grand, but they don't pay half as much from a more committed customer on their service as one who continues to buy subscription.

Fair or not doesn't come into it.

True but in covid times with millions extra out of work and many more on the breadline membership for games is not a priority, even though obviously it should be, you don't need food every day !!!!!
That's what f2p is for take your time earn two or three months of memberships in f2p RS3 is not a race

Oh i agree! I've met some f2p players whom just did mining and made rune bolts or w/e and that paid for a few bonds and they always went back to that if they needed a bond, And yeah membs is deff not a race.

Something tells me OP has never played a live service game. This game has probably 5000+ hours of content. That's probably 100x more than the standard triple A game.

That also depends on the person and what attracts them to a specific game and style of play. I've played 5000+ hours of The Sims 4, others could of played 10,000 hours of X3AP or CSGO or something else, even RS3 itself.

[Perahoky]

X3AP rules!
