  1. Recently, I wanted to make a new forum game: Here it is.

    Prize pot = 3K+ 3K for every 5 wrong guesses.

  2. The obvious Wildy Riot, and the lesser-known small 'Presidential Riot'.

     

     

     

    In world 82 (I think), on the night of Obama's win, there was a relatively small riot on Obama and McCain.

     

     

     

    I have 2 pictures, but they are when the rant ended (almost). It was a full-fledged riot, however. I had to turn off public, occasionally, to keep the lagg down ;_;

     

     

     

    [hide=The 'Presedential Riot']presidentcampain2.png

     

    &

     

    presidentcampain3.png[/hide]

     

     

     

    I also remember someone saying 'Obama is a terrorist. He is related to Osama'

     

     

     

    It was so damn funny listening to psycho's rant on about the president o_o

  3. Well, I've decided, after much liberation, to retire. I will be ever so slightly but not as much as I originally was. This is because I was cut-off P2P awhile back, and have been harrased by people calling me 'Zezima' because I have one 99 and a combat level on 100. I can't stand the level of ignorance, and arrogance, so; I've retired.

     

     

     

    I will still be on Tip.It but not as much...

     

     

     

    Baai

    Okay, sorry to get involved (again), but I think you need to stop too. AlexRose has quieted down and apologized for arguing, and I think you should just quieten down - no you don't have to apologize Well, yes you do actually. because you have made your point Several of themand we have heard you. Now can we just actually discuss the topic, and not hows F2P'ers waste Jagex's Everything, apparently time and cash?

     

    Discussion: To consider or examine by argument, comment, etc. (Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/discuss)

     

     

     

    As long as people continue to disagree with me, I'll disagree with them and back up my post. I don't intend to apologize for being right, as I have complied with all of tip.its rules and stated my argument in a mature and well thought out fashion. Sorry, but any offense you draw out of that is your own fault and I take no responsibility for it.

     

     

     

    I didn't say you offended me, just de-railed the topic by 'backing up your arguements' and such. And, I said you didn't need to apologize.

     

    So, if everyone can just shutup about the F2P-Waste Time/Money escapade, and we can actually re-rail this thread?

     

    Thanks.

  5.  

    COOOONTEEEEXT. Just because he said it, does NOT MEAN it's the exact same thing.

     

    You would do a lot better if you stopped whining about context and started discussing the issues. I said that the point of FTP was to get people to buy members, and he said the point of FTP was to get people to buy members, albeit in a slightly less readable and slightly more insulting manner. Your welcome to point out the difference.

     

     

     

    BUT THEY DO. They support the player base, might become P2P, and even if they don't, tell friends who might. I told three friends who eventually became members before I did.

     

    Already covered in the first post, any update that doesn't directly do one of those three things is a waste of my money.

     

     

     

     

    What? So your saying a supposedly horrid (in your own words, a "cesspool") forum will somehow attract members, and that increased member to F2Per interaction won't?

     

    Nope, I'm saying it will DETRACT members. Re read the post, you magically flipped the point of it around.

     

     

     

    Do you wonder why I do not want to respond to your posts?

     

    Not really. It must be inconvenient to be disproved by facts.

     

     

     

    Again, COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONTEXT. You were agruing F2P contributes nothing except the possibility of membership, and they're worthless. I'm agruing that they're not.

     

    Ok, then answer this: How do they contribute money except from getting members and advertising (which is far overbalanced by server costs)

     

     

     

    And hell with it, how does having the forums dissuade membership? Are people honestly going to buy membership simply because of the forums? They're going to sign up because of a "cesspool" forum, not because of the twenty times as much content they recieve. Face it, membership will not decrease simply because high level F2P gets a forum. What's the point of a forum if you don't actually play the game it supports?

     

    And how is it going to increase membership? Every one of the points you mentioned would be to AVOID new members, not get new ones.

     

     

     

    Okay, sorry to get involved (again), but I think you need to stop too. AlexRose has quieted down and apologized for arguing, and I think you should just quieten down - no you don't have to apologize Well, yes you do actually. because you have made your point Several of themand we have heard you. Now can we just actually discuss the topic, and not hows F2P'ers waste Jagex's Everything, apparently time and cash?

  6.  

    If you do still think P2P is worth subscribing to, then stop complaining because you're obviously still enjoying the updates and upgrades that you get as being a member. Jagex has always given f2p some attention, and allowing them/us to access forums isn't going to all-of-the-sudden ruin your experience in p2p.

     

    Wait, so because I still think it's worth it I'm not allowed to disagree with any of Jagex actions? :-#

     

    This doesn't look like a disagreement over a freeplay update. It looks like a tantrum. You can accept that neither Jagex nor players here view F2P as "freeloaders", or undeserving of updates because they don't contribute as much to the game as Members do, or discontinue paying.

     

     

     

    Note the key word that I highlighted. This isn't ad hominem, this is an observation on my part. It's been said time and again that F2P doesn't contribute on the same scale as Members. We don't need you to beat that point into the ground any further.

     

     

     

    :thumbup:

     

     

     

    You sir, deserve a cookie. (I doubt it will save this thread, however)

  7.  

     

     

    Last year f2p gave Jagex 7% of it's income. Ok, cool. So if F2P makes up 7% of all the money Jagex receives, shouldn't f2p get 7% of all updates? If you actually look at it, f2p gets less than 7% of all updates. Members have no reason to complain.

     

     

     

    In addition, half of the time, extending f2p benefits from p2p costs Jagex no money and minimal time. Giving f2p FoG for instance was only a matter of changing the script to be allowed on f2p worlds. This forum update is only a matter of allowing f2p to log into the Forums, but denying that to all f2pers under a certain level. Yes, I know a lot of kids in my High School who can do that.

     

    And here's another interesting graph:

     

    JagexFinancialOverview.gif

     

    You will notice that out of all turnover, virtually all of it is from members - and the turnover after expenses is much, much lower. FTP accounts for the majority of the operating expenses, with 130 times the players that are currently paying for membership.

     

     

     

    I don't see any valid point in that post. All you just proved was that F2P accounts do make money, small money, but still money. And because of that tiny income, F2P's have right to a 'tiny' amount of updates.

  8. 2 Things I have Learned From This Thread:

     

     

     

    1) Yay for me, I can go to Forums again soon

     

    2) Compfreak is 32

     

     

     

    Everything else is pretty much senseless argument. Here:

    Last year f2p gave Jagex 7% of it's income. Ok, cool. So if F2P makes up 7% of all the money Jagex receives, shouldn't f2p get 7% of all updates? If you actually look at it, f2p gets less than 7% of all updates. Members have no reason to complain.

Yes, I know a lot of kids in my High School who can do that.

     

     

     

    Finally. Someone with sense.

     

    It's true, members have no right to complain. They have extended lands, 100 more quests, loads more items and more stuff to do.

     

    F2P's on the other hand have small lands, not more than 7 quests and very few items or things to do.

     

     

     

    And, I don't think anyone has taken to heart the idea of 'High Levels'.

     

    By that, we can assume overall levels, hours played etc. You can't base it on xp, because there are loads of people with millions of exp in cooking and whatnot.

    If a Moderator could lock this please, I'd be extremely greatful.

     

    Sorry, but as mentioned at http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=480329, moderators will only lock a thread if it is breaking rules and not just a requested lock.

     

     

     

    It seems we've all gone off topic because of an ignoramus.

     

     

    There there, don't be so hard on yourself - losing one argument is no reason to give up. Also, be careful, or you'll end up violating section 1.2 of the rules and have your posts deleted.

     

     

     

    May I ask, why are you so obstinant? Do you really think I care if my posts are deleted? Jagex can do whatever they want to do, and you can have no say in it. See if they care. Go on, go rant in the newly instated 'Rants Forum'. Think they actually listen to you?

     

     

     

    Besides, Ignoramus is just a nice synonym for idiot. In this case, you are being one.

     

     

     

    Sorry, but as mentioned at http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=480329, moderators will only lock a thread if it is breaking rules and not just a requested lock.

     

     

     

     

    How long are you on TIF for? There are requested locks all over the place, and the thread can also be locked if it has become sidetracked (like what you've done).

     

     

     

    Oh oh oh! Also, if you had eyes:

     

     

     

    viewtopic.php?f=6&t=480329

     

     

     

    Go back to the thread, and read section 2.2

     

    You have completely sidetracked this good discussion thread into an utter flame war.

     

     

     

    Now please, go 'bask in the glory' of shutting down a discussion thread.

     

     

     

    Thank you.
