[hide] A few Jmods have leaked info. Basically saying that Summoning will be f2p too Personally I don't think it really matters. Jagex are giving f2p summoning, not new quests, not new members items. If they place summoning in between varrock and mortanya: A Souls Bane (No matter how futile the quest seemed), will still remain p2p. Limestone (once again, how little it matters) will still remain p2p. Anyways. I'm just excited about a new skill :D ~Hawt Other sources with the top dog mods indicate the lesser mods were misinformed or talking about stuff they had no knowledge of. It seems pretty solid this skill is only P2P now. Not that I care either. Only quoting because I came back to edit my post above yours. :P Oh really? Then please explain to us how they're going to handle past members being less powerful than f2p players of their levels? They're not going to punish players for buying members right? example : 2 characters are level 60. One goes p2p and gets his combat up to 80 by using summoning. The other one stays f2p and level his melee stats so that his combat is 80 too, When the first player with summoning stats will come back to F2P he will have the same level, but in reality be 20 combat levels weaker since he cant use these 20 combat levels. This is why they have to make a part of summoning f2p. And besides this would make Runescape's popularity grow up tons! Every old player will come back to play the new free skill, and Runescape will gain alot of new paying members! So in the end Jagex gets money, and players get a brand new skill! Everyone (with a brain) is happy! Edit : Oh and please dont answers things like they will just make your combat level go down when you go f2p, that is impossible. This would lead to so much abuse, whining, exploiting.. and is probably impossible for them to do properly. 1) Abvously you have no idea what your talking about. You saying theres no possible way to Jagex to code a person to go from 138 in p2p, to 126 in f2p. If thats the case, then you lose all validity in your statement. Jagex MADE this game, a simple readjustment of your combat levels is well withing the bounds of this games ability. Its no different than making a quest, or calculating your combat to begin with... All they have to do is make it so your combat is based on summon in p2p, and on f2p worlds your combat is recalculated to the current system, its really not hard to do at all.. 2) It sounds to me like your giving reasons WHY Jagex should make summon f2p. Now im not one to say f2p dosent deserve any updates, so ill stay off that as all It will do is induce flaming, but I will say this. Even if f2p gets summoning you must remember. (No matter how much you want to deny it) Free to play is still a Demo, or Trial if you will, of the "Full" (Members) game. Free to play is no different than any other game trial, its parts of the game on a limited basis. That being said, if summon is f2p (Which I personal doubt) it will be simiar to prayer in which f2p can only use say the first few levels of it. that ALSO being said, I would like to point out something as well.. So far, all of the "Beginner" resouces for summoning are P2P: The Petshop, The Birds Egs, The Tzharr eggs, Taverly, Braindead Island monster Drops Again we go to the concept of the Free to play being a "Trial" game. Now if f2p had summoning, they would have access to all the lower level abilities. But Currenly only P2P has acess to these.. This leads me to believe it will not involve f2p at all. Only time will tell. Okies... so lets take this in order. 1)I agree with this lol. But it may make switch-world lag (30 seconds I believe) even longer.... 2) a) Ok, I have no idea who to give credit to the last person I saw that said this.... This is true because this whole game started out as f2p. Then they made a members part of it eventually. Therefore making it an expansion (like teh sims, WoW *I think...*, ect.) and not a trial/demo. B) You have no idea if some of those things are the beggining parts. Sure the pet shop will be, but the Braindead island drops (the ones that I have no idea how to spell xD) were some mod's (Paul's?) favorite summoned monster. And I bet they would make it kind of high level... c) Yep, lets wait before jumping towards conclusions k? And for my view on the whole summoning being f2p/p2p thing... I'm just waiting for it to come out. It only matters what JaGex decides... [/hide] just wait -.-
