You might need to edit that combat level now ;).

Oh cool, have a great time here :).

Hey there, welcome to TIF :D. Have you been a member much of that time?

Congratulations and enjoy :).

On a related note, when I try this, holding down the key does not work. I have to press the key repeatedly, once for each item I want to drop (in this case, salmon or trout). How does one fix this? And remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers!

Yes, new F2P accounts have (and have had for a while) a trade limit of 25k/day. It goes away permanently if you purchase a month of membership, though. Edit: the purpose was to combat botting by blocking F2P bots from transferring wealth..unless of course, they buy members.

Congrats Kaida! :D

That is extremely easy to circumvent. How is that-through Clan Wars itself or through another method?

The red portal in clan wars does not work-if, under the trade limit, you die with more than 25k on you, only 25k is dropped and the rest of the items disappear permanently. So because the total amount of F2P players is going down, RuneScape's life is gonna end? Ok. No, not necessarily. I was simply reflecting on the fact that there seem to be about 1/5 as many people in free worlds as member worlds, when it used to be the other way around. That, and the total number of players in general is much lower than it used to be. Honestly, I hope it's simply because the trial is working and people are getting membership much sooner. I have no desire for night to fall over the land of Gelienor. I'm wondering that as well. World 1 has long been a major trading point for F2P'ers, going all the way back to pre-G.E. times. Everything seems to have moved to w3 now, but why didn't they make w3 P2P instead? I guess it's just a publicity stunt to make a statement.

I don't have documented statistics on hand, but your memory seems to be correct. As for now you can get an upper bound on the number of paying players from looking at the hiscores and subtracting off some fraction estimated to be trial members or P2P players not yet wiped off the hiscores. Presumably there are estimates for the number of free players now but sadly, those are beyond me.

With mining in F2P, it's more or less one person, one spot. At least with Agility you can all suffer through it together ^_^, without fighting for xp too much.

I guess you run around in circles and try to type at the same time? Hmm...

As you can see both from logging into the game and from the printscreen below, a few worlds more worlds than promised have been made p2p. Despite little (if any) suggestion from players, the most populous F2P world was made P2P. One of the most infamous worlds in terms of F2P community has been made P2P as well. World 50 has gone P2P as well, but I suppose that's not all bad, in that it usually had bad lag. I'm just rather surprised about swiping off so many worlds (12/38 or nearly 1/3 are gone). What do you think?

Welcome (back) to TIF! Feel free to send me a message if you need anything :).

Yeah... No. If Jagex has done anything wrong, it's that they never really adapted to changes in the game landscape. They were a very successful freemium MMO back when there weren't really any other freemium MMOs, nowadays you can find hundreds of games using the same model, but with better technology and gameplay behind them, and multiplayer games are omnipresent. Bigger MMOs than Runescape are finding that the subscription model isn't sustainable anymore. They got complacent with their status as the "number one free game" and the rest of the world overtook them. Most certainly, remember this?

Dat ron jeremy at 0:47 If anyone could do a little Paint job and identify for me which moderators are which, it would be appreciated :o.

As Kaida mentioned, they usually do a big hiscore cleanup, rather than knocking you off the hiscores right away. Perhaps your F2P accounts started with trial membership and haven't been taken off yet. If they haven't ever been P2P, then that would be...interesting.

Do you still hear the screaming at night? I've never actually died with a lot of stuff, but then again I never had much reason to enter the wilderness, aside from when I used to mine runite.

I'm not an expert on programming but it should not be too difficult to grab it from here: http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=[playername] Of course, since hiscores are not available for free players, it will only work for P2P ones.

I got it from the Customization interface when I logged in, and it looked pretty much as promised...there's not much more to say.

I would recommend that you go to the Account Help forum and read through the threads there and post on the most appropriate one (there is an "Everything else" as well). I'm not sure if you'll be able to get the account back without the username though..

Congrats! :D

Now hold on just a minute-do you want a bunch of new players flooded with all those advertisements, looking around at each other and wondering "Why did I sign up for this again?" At least with no cap, there is the potential to run into some real, experienced people.

As you can see from below, which was quoted from [qfc]74-75-887-64130411[/qfc], Jagex seems set to reshuffle themed worlds. Some of the highlights: -Free worlds 4, 14, 30, 37, and 106 will be gone or become p2p, allegedly due to low usage. Right now in terms of popularity, I see 4>3, 13=14=16, 30=37=a bunch of other words, and the same for 106 and other European worlds, but whatever. There are currently 38 f2p worlds and 101 p2p, and this proposal cuts f2p to 33. -High-risk wilderness worlds will be removed and some 'player killing' worlds will appear-no word on that. -There will be an f2p role-playing server. -World 60 will become an official penguin hunting world.

We're doing our best to work on that now ;D.
