July 24, 200718 yr LOL be glad you even got anything, f2p doesn't pay do they? Yet they still generate money for JAGeX by clicking on ads... :roll: Actually the F2p version of runescape barely breaks even. Meaning it doesn't create a profit, but it doesn't loose money. I think I got that info from the jagex corporate site, but I cant remember.
July 24, 200718 yr I don't mind the update. I only used it once or twice. Even then, the majority of the time it was only garbage that was put into the chest. Now the amount of garbage on F2P world's will just be taken to an elevated level. Good for the F2P'ers, as for P2P they can just shut up about any complaints since F2P near-to-never gets any updates. Sure, P2P'ers have to PAY for the updates, but if they are going to complain about what they get, then please-by all means, cancel your membership.
July 24, 200718 yr I'd suggest that this is essentially an "update by default". Jagex re-did Seers. As part of that, they probably thought "that's not a good place for the party room ... where shall we put it?". "Hey, let's put it in F2P". It is exactly the type of update that, in my mind, is justifiable to go to F2P. It's something that has been P2P for quite some time and doesn't provide any demonstrable benefit to the core of the game. Or put another way, P2P isn't disadvantaged any by moving it. Apart from the bank space debate, an relatively minor update like this every year is the most I could ever reasonably expect (since we are generating some level of revenue for Jagex by ad views). I don't ever expect Jagex to put extra effort into a new F2P update. OFF TOPIC: Bank Space debate - so that people don't go off on that topic, I'd just like to say that I don't think F2P would ever get any more bank space until if/when Jagex re-do the bank interface. For me, it'll be nice if we could have more, but we have no "right" to demand it. WARNING: Prone to ramble ... but you probably already know that!1% F2P : 99% RL
July 24, 200718 yr It's laughable how many P2P noobs complain about F2P getting updates and then in the same sentence call F2P players the whingers. Did you play when all of RS was F2P? Do you remember why Jagex stated that they introduced P2P? Do you remember that Jagex stated that F2P would get all of the updates that P2P got, only at a later date? do you know whey they reneged on that promise?
July 24, 200718 yr Well I hope atleast they're having fun. :D 2104th to 99 Hunting January 10th 2008Proud Fan Of The Offspring Since 1998
July 24, 200718 yr That's sweet! Which means my little level 3's can go and drop the nubbiest stuff! =D
July 24, 200718 yr Good. Take it. It's a complete nightmare when trying to sell something in Seers and every few minutes a long trail of flashing text "every1 [bleep] 2 party petes! we iz havin a massssive drop party! over 10k items dropped!!"
July 24, 200718 yr I like that Jagax finally gave F2p something. I accepted that as F2p i will get few to none updates, but it is great to see that Jagax is not the cruel heartless, greedy, pigs some make them out to be, because they give F2p crap. But stated eariler the majority of F2p are noobs, and nothing when i went to vist was over 300 gp droped. But i do like it, so that i can use it as a party place when i finally reach my skill total target.
July 25, 200718 yr ...But stated eariler the majority of F2p are noobs.... Depends on your definition on "noob". Besides that, not all freeplayers are insanely rich, so what they drop in there could very well be their life savings. How about you look past that part and see that freeplayers actually got something? On the entire topic of giving freeplay the Party Hall, all I can say is "more power to 'em". We weren't using it, so why the heck not? Let them have fun with it.

Like Spears and Hally's up to rune (I know some people use Rune Hallies, but still.), or maybe even claws?
July 25, 200718 yr I don't care either way. I never use the party room, people with drop parties seldom go there, and free players get something that members find useless. I see no problem here. In fact, I think team capes would be put to good use in f2p as well. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

July 25, 200718 yr Pretty nice move from Jagex to motivate F2p'ers during summer :wink: Runescaper since June 2005Blog
July 25, 200718 yr Imagine the reaction if someone put a santa hat or even a pratyhat in there on world 1...I'm not paying the medical bills... catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

July 25, 200718 yr The Party Room has only helped to encourage F2P beggars in my opinion. Have you ever attended a F2P drop party and got like a dozen noobs yelling "Rune p10x"? But I still like it. Why do you resist? My experiments are only helping humanity push the boundaries of the Art of Toxicology... you should be proud to be one of my victims. ~Toxicologist~
July 25, 200718 yr I'm a member now, and I still don't see why you people hate F2Pers so much... That's what I don't get. :-k Runescape got an update, F2P are happy, P2P are the ones having a cry. We are thankful and appreciate this update, so instead of saying how nooby F2Pers are, have a look at yourselves and see how much of a 'noob' you are acting. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

July 25, 200718 yr They deserve 1 every year or so, Did you notive how they didn't whine? We we always whine whether it's a random or a pest control update. We think we deserve want we want because we pay but Jagex decides. We should learn not to whine just because they made 1 group pf people mad.

We think we deserve want we want because we pay but Jagex decides. We should learn not to whine just because they made 1 group pf people mad. Yeah, majority of the P2P members find themselves superior to F2P players for some reason I have yet to find out. But let's face the facts shall we? There will never be a perfect world, nor will there be a game without whiners, airheads, cheaters and ***holes. Now this is just my opinion. P2P members get almost one update every week. So in a year, P2P RS could change significantly and from those changes, new problems arise which people whine about (take PC for example... again). If the amount of whiners are enough, JaGeX changes it/modifies it/adds something to it for better or for worse and then the people who used to be for the update in question will now be against it in most cases (once again take the PC riot for example). Now, that said, I think that P2P members complain alot more because we get more updates than F2P players do. The more updates and new stuff we get, the more things there are to strongly like, but at the same time, there will be more things there are to strongly dislike. More often than not, people who "hate" the new updates create a thread or publically display their disapproval of it whenever the opportunity to do so arises. While F2P on the other hand, have a definate lack of updates/new stuff making them appreciate and savour anything they get. Summed up, I guess you could say that P2P are 'spoiled' in sort of a way :-k . I really don't know anymore, after writing that, my brain wants to kill itself . ^ Refresh for a new signature ^
July 25, 200718 yr This is a great update!!! F2pers can finally have parties!!! Although they won't be as good as member parties, it'll be much better!
July 25, 200718 yr This is pathetic, p2pers are ranting that f2p shouldn't get anything and that they're offended :uhh:
July 25, 200718 yr I'm not taking sides(P2P FOH EVAH!) but, the F2P have no justification to whine about no updates. There is a reason why It's Pay to Play, because we support the game. I do belive they should have the party house though, because now it gets some use. ^Clicky for Q Cape Blog^MY SIGGIE AND BANNER SHOP
