Umega Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Jagex have moved the membership box up the list on the front page, so more f2pers can see that there is a membership version of the game, and hope that it will get f2pers to join membership. It now even has a gold trim around the box to seem special and appetising to click. :P They probably done this because most players just click on the "Play Runescape" button and don't bother scrolling down to see the other features, including the previous position of the membership box. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiophobus Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I noticed that too, but I wondered if I was just imagining it moved :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Finally they're starting to understand how to advertise their product properly :P I'd do a better marketing job than the person they've got now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous1234 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 little things like that make a big difference. people see it everytime they go on rs.com plus now it looks more appealing. it may seem pointless at first but it makes your subconscious want to get members more :XD: good job jagex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 noticed that as well ;) also all these god wars adverts while playing f2p :XD: Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterxman Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Also, it was done just after a fairly liked big update, which probably shouldn'ttake much more to get people to become P2P now :P Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peronix Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yeah I noticed that. It probably won't make that big of a difference as far as their memberships, but if it makes any difference at all it will be worth it to them seeing as how that shouldn't have taken that much effort to do.

krisc6 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i wouldnt call it sneaky.in fact i think jagex undersell the benefits of subscribing compared to other sites and games. its just made my life easier anyway because i could never find the renew an existing subscription link thing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaanniiellh Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I noticed that too, as a matter in fact it caught my attention because it had a yellow outline...I guess its meant to catch people's attention better. ~Ddaanniiellh : 1437 : 173Lowest Combat to 1,000 Total in F2P (23 Combat)Check me out on YouTube!

Moonshadow Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Sounds pointless to me. :shame: Aye, same here. It will let people know about it a little sooner. That's it. Won't convince anyone else to become members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbfgraphx14 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Probably not a bad idea considering probably 100% of runescape players screens are 1032x730 (or wahtever it is) :P I'm not buying it though =; Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

Dragon_lord Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 very sneaky, i hope it doesn't convince the noobs of f2p to join members :uhh: Well if all members behave like you, I'm sure they will want nothing to do with it. :evil: On-topic:Yeah, not exactly a brain-storming idea, but still a good move for a company that is there to make money.
