This is one of my favorite articles to date, since i can relate to the author. I've been playing since roughly november '01, and up till october '05 i was still f2p and had never been p2p. i remember the days of loathing p2p's for all the extra features they had, and the fact that f2p hadn't gotten any new skills or quests since Runescape 3D came out. Sadly now, i can't go back. I can't give up my rock-shell, or my berseker helmet, or that dragon scimmy, or the obby shield and cape... make that all the cool stuff. i do have to agree that the number of updates i'm getting as a p2p'er is getting a little overwhelming, since i've only just gotten the hang of leveling my member skills. (I finally have 55 slayer, and im having fun doing barrows) That's just my 2 cents...
