add f2p content.

[Mattman]

you guys been expanding rs3/osrs for years now, but it's all members. i think adding f2p expansions would draw in a larger f2p crowd for both games. you can mirror the expansion for os/rs3.

low tiered bosses for instance, a quest that leads to isles = a boss/ hard f2p mobs that drop loot worth a coin or 2. introduction of a new f2p skill, like low tier construction up allowing of certain f2p construction items and low tier buildables. low tier slayer that can be based off the isles area. these are all just ideas... introduction of a few p2p things but f2p, like granite or weapons designed newly for f2p with specials. low level alchemy. add some stuff that correlates with dungeoneering in rs3 like caves that add monsters/ resource spots like a underground wc area, a mining area, fishing.

these are all just random ideas. i feel like jagex doesn't give any love to f2p and i understand it. but f2p use to be majority of the playerbase in many eras of runescapes lifespan, now the majority is p2p. because f2p is only good for so long.

A. Jagex doesn't check here.

B. F2P is a demo, not the main game.

A. they don't comment here and do check here.

B. back in 2007 f2p player count was over 100k, p2p player count was like 20-40k.

C. today f2p player count is like 10% and p2p player count is 90% rs3/os merged.

D. because of that the community is toxic/ dull and (everyone know everything)

E. if enough people comment here, it might snag their attention.

F. if they added content to lure f2p players into the games, the chance of gaining new p2p players is increased.

G. mobile rs3/osrs brought in millions of players.

H. they need to do something to entice f2p players like they did with mobile, a f2p expansion could be it.

This is not 2007, nor is this even RS2.

C. today f2p player count is like 10% and p2p player count is 90% rs3/os merged.

This discussion forum is for RS3.

D. because of that the community is toxic/ dull and (everyone know everything)

Nothing quite like a blanket statement insulting the entire community.

E. if enough people comment here, it might snag their attention.

I thought they checked here already? Nothing quite like contradicting yourself. But I suppose I should also point out that Jagex doesn't listen to their playerbase. If they did, RS3 wouldn't be in the state and playercount that it's currently at.

Honestly this whole bit really sounds like this is coming from someone with absolutely zero knowledge of the problems with RS3.

F. if they added content to lure f2p players into the games, the chance of gaining new p2p players is increased.

Adding something to F2P isn't going to "lure" more players to RS3 when F2P has such a massive swath of bugs that have gone unchecked for years now.

G. mobile rs3/osrs brought in millions of players.

Mobile is mostly unsupported in RS3 with a metric ton of issues that have gone unaddressed. Every update breaks features on it further.

H. they need to do something to entice f2p players like they did with mobile, a f2p expansion could be it.

A F2P expansion isn't going to fix the issues RS3 has. But you don't strike me as someone who seems to understand the totality of where RS3 is at or it's history in the last decade alone.

It's alright, I get wanting more F2P content. But really, RS3 has many more blarring issues then a minor expansion that isn't going to address the legions of bugs F2P is suffering from. There's a VERY good reason why there's basically no F2P atm and available content sure ain't it. Especially when F2P has had things added to it over the years that ultimately didn't increase it's player count,

Jagex has added ALOT for f2p over the years for both games OSRS f2p can play castle wars now, dude i wish that was a thing when i was f2p.

i'm level 125 in f2p, i was level 117 in 2008. i've made like 8 100's+ before 2010 when everyone was around 40-70 at highest in f2p. farming giant spiders before anyone even knew of them. when pvp worlds came out, i owned a whole world in f2p. when clan wars came out i solo'd clans with my 117. when cockroaches came out, i swapped from training on giant spiders to those. when rs3 came out, i was sad cockroach soldiers went from decent exp to 0. simple because they "had" the best monster loot in f2p. the timelines above aren't in sequential order.

i ended up giving most of my 100's+ away and killed off my skillers. keeping only my main (which wasn't even my highest level at the time (like level 98) highest total level though)

cw sucks. both clan and castle wars. especially in rs3. it's so 1 shotty now, literally kill/ die in 1 rotation. especially if you have dungeoneering weapons. what is it called gravite? idk.

and oh god does dungeoneering suck in f2p. tbh.. f2p is basically the same f2p it was in 2008, but with 2 new minigames, fletching, updated ranged/mage gear, a couple lame quests. (gertrudes cat)

17 years and nothing really done 2 f2p.

all i really want in f2p is a decent monster to farm. that's it. that's all i want. there's dogsh for monsters in f2p, cockroach soldiers are still best loot.. but not worth it. for they die in 1 hit and spawn too slow.. and give 0 exp. leaving greater demons as a exp based alternative, but they suck in loot as well, leaving oh wait (nothing) i'm not talking about farming loot for bonds, i'd do smithing if i wanted to do that. i'm just talking about mindless farming.

Work your way towards a bond. There's enough content if you don't want to pay

don't want to play p2p, to where i have to spend 40-60 hours a week farming for another bond each week. i want to play casual, kill a few hundred mobs then log out.

I mean it's a MMOrpg you kinda have to commit to the game

[Elitewrecker PT]

What’s the point of playing RuneScape just to kill some trash mobs in f2p?

[Varpushaukka]

Don't worry OP, you'll get some very exciting F2P content in the future: watching ads

I mean just by doing shop runs and dailies you can pretty much make enough money back in a span of 14 days. It opens you a lot of new doors to make money.
