Couple of things: 1) People keep saying that F2P pays for itself by the ads that are shown. I would argue that the ads merely pay the costs of running the F2P servers. Jagex has costs involved with leasing the servers, bandwidth, monitoring, patching....all of which are overhead. My hunch is that F2P is, at best, a break even proposition for Jagex. Most large scale data center servers cost at a minimum a few hundred dollars (US) to lease. Bandwidth costs increase that even more. 2) Any F2P update would be also a P2P update. The only requirements would be that the entire activity would have to be "completable" in the F2P world. So a quest, for example, couldn't go from Varrock to the Fremmy Isles but it could involve Lumbridge. Should F2P get more updates? I would suggest that perhaps the easiest, cheapest, fastest way to do this is to release quests that only involve F2P areas into the F2P worlds. Or if you wanted to add a skill (uhm, let's ability to make steel claws) that it be added a year after it's released to P2P. That way there are no additional costs (other then porting the code into the F2P system) and very little overhead.

I'm new to RS so if this isn't cool let me know. But I'm trying to do the Sheep Herder quest (it's just north of Ardougne). The short version is I can get the sheep near the gate but once I get it a step or two away it bolts away. I'm hoping someone else is trying to do this or just has a few extra minutes. I don't have much money but I'd be happy to carry a load of whatever you need from Pt A to Pt B or something in trade. Or, if you need to do this quest too let me know and we can work together on it.

I'd be happy to work with you on the Ernest the Chicken quest. Find me in world 66. On a similar note......I'm trying to do the Sheep Herding quest over in Ardougne. The sheep keep running away from me. I was told that if I could find someone they could help block the sheep. If someone else is doing this quest (or needs to do this quest, it's very simple and there's not a lot of running around to get ready) let me know in-game.
