Oh for Saradomin's sake, stop using the word "deserve"! Just cause you can pursuade your parents or you can throw away 5 bucks a month doesn't make you a better person. From now on, I am ignoring all posts saying f2p doesn't "deserve" updates. I'd rather think of this as members BUYING updates. nope maybe you pay rougely $1 a month and actully you dont even pay, you just look and jagex gets payed for the ads and with that money they keep f2p alive, p2p has no problems they pay $5 a month compaired to the rougly $1 that f2p doesnt even pay. You forget that there are about 6 times more f2pers than members. -.-

Whoa, nice. :thumbsup: I remember the day quite vividly. I was about level 35 back then, with only 20k cash. I was doin the black knights fortress quest when I met a guy, slightly lower level than me, also doing the quest. We added each other and completed the quest together. A few weeks later, he PMs me about a glitch in the game and how he needs my pass to do it. :^o At first I never intended to give him my pass, but he mocked me and pretty much word-forced me to give it to him. Then he said "come to my world". I didn't think of much of that, so I logged out and switched worlds. When I logged in, it said that the password was incorrect, so I thought I made a typo. Then it occured to me: I lost my account. :wall: The next day, I told some people who also play Runescape, but apparently weren't very nice, that I got scammed out of my pass. They laughed and joked about how they were the ones who stole it, and I was as gullible as you can get back then. Later, I sent a query to Jagex, apparenly telling them of the people in school. From tht info alone, I wouldn've gotten it back, since, ironically, I didn't mention the actual scammer. However, I did have 2 old passwords, which I used to get it back. I got the query ID, and I checked it once every 5 to 10 minutes. After about 3 days of anxiety, I finally got it back. When I logged in, all I had on me was a wizard's hat and gloves, and when I looked at my bank, my heart skipped a beat. He stole all my cash, strength potions, amulets, armour and weapons, runes, pretty much anything of worth. He left me with items that probably would've bought for 1gp in the general store. He also left me with my red spider's eggs, which I assumed he didn't know could make strength potions. When I logged in, the scammer was also logged in, and I still didn't realize that he scammed me. I was quite the idiot back then. I told him of how I got scammed, and he said of how he had 120k and now he has 140k. I asked him if I could have some, but he said work for it. Oooh the irony. After a while, he got banned, and I then realized that he scammed me. Oh, I did make comments like "you scammed me, give my stuff back" to him, but I didn't really believe it until he got banned. #-o After that, I decided to turn a new leaf. (wierd) I set my reoveries, set my bank PIN, I even looked through every coner and crevice of the knowledge base. I learned about commn scam items such as charcoal, and I reported every single rule-breaker I see. Once, I had a chat with someone who JUST lost 600k in a scam (wish sliced bananas...lol) and I told him what I did, and he listened. I told himn how I lost 20k and now I have 161k, "losin a nickel and gainin a quarter", and I told him pretty much what is mentioned above. He was inspired and said "next time, I'll have enough money to buy a partyhat", or something to that extent. The odd thing was, I saw him get scammed with my very own eyes. I never saw him ever since. I have an idea: Lets list all common scam items, whether they be p2p or f2p. Charcoal Empty box Poilshed buttons (3 of the most common ones) Sliced bananas Well? Anyone got more?

13506, nice way to get post count, eh?

Oops, my bad :XD: *edit's post* I'm glad you didn't go "dude dats liek 5 million bucks f2p noob" or something. As you can see, I'm trying to be as calm as possible posting.

See my calculations a few posts up.

Here's a bit of math... OK so there are a million members, so that equals $5,000,000 a month. (my bad) let's assume that there are about 500 adverts paying runescape. lets assume that adverts change once every 5 minutes. Lets say that each advert gets Jagex a penny. I know this isn't very accurate, but it is a rough estimate. a penny * 12 (per hour) * 24 (per day) * 30 (per moth) * 100,000 (estimated number of f2p at one given time) = 864000000 cents, or $8,640,000 a month just from adverts. WOW. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. As you can see, I'm not basing this on how many f2pers are in the game cause that doesn't make sense. jus think, that would mean that every f2p account, whether online of offline, are each seeing ONE advert. ---------------------------------------------------- A note to members: why should you even care if f2p gets updates? you get them too, and it's not like a couple of updates will cover all the benifits membership gives you.

Well, that was very fun! I was able to record most of the rally, and I even got a cool pic of the last "f2p bank space!" cheer! Here's the image: Unfortunately, the video is two hours long. YouTube won't upload long videos, and Google won't either. Any suggestions???
