Runescape HD/Full Screen - What will F2P Get?

[Dire_Wolf]

I understand the parent part. I had to convincemy parents as well. But i was talking about getting the money in my post. The money is why we members compare membership to a big mac and such.

 

 

 

and remember that the option to test for full screen doesn't mean you'll get it. As explained in the first two posts on this page.

 

 

 

To be honest i understand very well why Pat used scum remark. You were talking like if you didn't want F2Ps to get Fullscreen at all. You could put it a other way...

 

 

 

On topic, ill see what happens. But im afraid you might be right Robin.

[BabyPunchers]

Yes, but that is as rude as my *scum* remark.

 

 

 

It was a simple comparison as i meant it. Sorry if you took it that way, but nevertheless i think we're getting off topic here. Think we should stop. :oops:

 

 

 

Sir Hemen, i do not want f2p to get it honestly. I won't hide that. But i won't riot or rant about it if they do. It's just that 51% of me doesn't want f2p to get it and 49% doesn't care.

[Pat_61]

ok :

 

 

 

I think they will get FS for maybe a certain amount of time a day? Maybe?

[Dire_Wolf]

Yes, but that is as rude as my *scum* remark.

I can understand how that feels, to pay for P2P and F2P getting fullscreen. But try to understand, that F2P ain't getting any updates that affect their gaming. It's just graphically update.

 

 

 

In most games, graphical updates and sounds are privileges to everyone.

 

 

 

P.S As for not caring, as human being you should work on your emphancing others, that would make you a better person if you ask me.

Actually in most games free playing is either very limited or has some sort of catch.

 

 

 

Take the popular game Adventurequest for example. If you're a free player, then you get a certain number of free logins and then you have to wait for the server to not be full. Which is almost never. It's either pay or get out.Gaurdians, the equivalent of members in this game, can log in whenever they please. F2p people in runescape get to log in whenever they please and have no trial. They can not pay for 7 years if they want to. F2p get too much as is.

 

 

 

P.S As for not caring, as human being you should work on your emphancing others, that would make you a better person if you ask me.

 

 

 

 

Don't start with real life things like this. I don't want this thread to be a flame fest. And i fear i probably will flame you if you persist.

[Dire_Wolf]

I was talking about Grapichal and Sound updates, not Game features. As AQ ,i have played it. And you could easy get into the game in the morning, and once your in you won't get kicked out.

 

 

 

But that's precaution for those who weren't members, also called "Guardians". But i can tell you this, and read this cleary: F2P and P2P had same graphichs and sounds

 

 

 

Also i have been F2P, and became P2P on there.

That was just a advice, but never mind it then :|

[Triquos]

No pay = no updates

 

 

 

Atleast that's what I think anyway. But as more updates have become F2P they've now come to EXPECT them, so I think jagex should tone it down a bit, like my parents have noticed with their business, they give lollies/chocolates to customers in their envelopes with their bills so they can have a treat while paying us, but as soon as summer came and chocolates started melting and lollies were getting sticky, we stopped, and we got angry customers, some even QUITTING because of it.

 

 

 

Now that is just rediculous, you see, customers QUITTING because they don't get their lolly? How SAD is that. The same applies to the staff too, now bosses don't HAVE to give their staff presents for their birthday, or a jet-ski ride with fish and chips as a treat every Friday, but my mum and dad do those things - and now they've come to EXPECT it, not taking into account the money for petrol, fish and chips and birthday presents (usually cologne which costs my mum about $120 per staff member) I think you get my point. You give them an update, they complain and ask for more. NO PAY = NO UPDATES. It's only fair.

 

 

 

If I were to ever become F2P again, and we got an update, I wouldn't complain for more, in fact i'd be glad to even get ONE because I wouldn't be paying for anything! Well, atleast you'd think people would think that way, but most don't :roll:

Okay i understand what you're saying. But i don't consider full screen as a graphical update. I agree that F2p will probabaly get the HD graphics but not the full screen. Full screen is not a graphical update, it's an addition. Therefore that argument doesn't make much sense.

You can give updates to F2P, but not giving "The" update is kinda disappointing. But to be honest if F2P don't get full screen and so on, i won't get angry. But more disappointed, it's a update that makes the game more enjoyable and i can safely say that everyone agrees.

 

 

 

Some people don't like this and that update, but "The" update is liked by a big number.

I really am doubting if F2P will get full screen, and as you said that it may be it. But i don't recall from any game, that there was restrictions to full screen or any graphical additions. So your argument woulden't make much sense to other games, but unfortunately i am pretty sure Jagex will go for your favour.

 

 

 

But ill wait for offical statement from jagex, until then ill wait for better arguments.

[BabyPunchers]

Disregarding other games, but making an even better point here. Funorb is owned by Jagex. For you to play full screen on Funorb you need to pay 3 dollars a month. This supports the assumption that it will be the same here.

That's a good argument why F2P won't get it. Unfortunately i haven't played Funorb, won't either \ But i am not really totally conviced. Not that it's bad argument, just not totally convinced.

 

 

 

A bit out of topic, regarding other games. If Jagex has quite a bit restrictions on graphic, it's just bad way of acting.

[B_Ryan20]

f2p might get hd, but they definately wont get fs because this would prevent them from seeing adds, which is the only reason they can have a f2p. Sorry if u want fs just mow a lawn once a month, trust me fs is worth it :

[Dire_Wolf]

I am convinced, F2P won't get FS. But if Jagex advertised other than using their own site, and letting F2P player on Fullscreen would defintly make the game bigger. Such a shame...

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

Freeplay will probably get everything but the kitchen sink with this update, which means yes new graphics, no full screen.

 

 

 

Even if they do get full screen, who cares? It's not the end of the world if they get that kind of support. I just severely doubt it.

I agree, some updates they DO need because it effects all of us, like the grand exchange, and I think it was good that they got the party room too as that is a big part of RS, I guess I just hate it when they ask for more things because they're not supporting Jagex and the updates. I understand where you're coming from :D

 

 

 

I also think they'll get the graphics, but I don't understand how they're allowed full screen (heard somewhere they are getting it for sure) when they need to have the advertisements so Jagex get supported by them, unless of course the full screen mode has advertisements on it but I don't think that'll happen :?

 

 

 

:pray:

[LordJakal]

im f2p currently and i dont think jagex is obligated to give us updates. If anyone reads the whole news article or the HD FAQ, they can see we will eventually get HD. We wont get fullscreen cause of ads, but we will get HD. /thread 8-)

[FoxTricks]

Well, F2P is like getting a "taste" of members. So I could see Jagex at least giving a little bit of the new content so people would want to get members for the rest.

[Arilauske]

I think F2P will get the entire HD experience including fullscreen. Currently F2P players are able to start the client to check compatibility with display options and full screen. Why would they allow this if they weren't planning on giving F2P full screen mode as well?

Adventure Quest was a cheap shot... It ruins the name MMO. No Chat, no player-player interaction, they only share server space.

 

 

 

Ahem a have a long response to this one. So I'll break it up

 

 

 

No pay = no updates

 

Actually we do pay, but not as much. We click ads and refer friends. I have refered 5 friends to Runescape 3 of which became members.

 

 

 

But as more updates have become F2P they've now come to EXPECT them, so I think jagex should tone it down a bit, like my parents have noticed with their business, they give lollies/chocolates to customers in their envelopes with their bills so they can have a treat while paying us, but as soon as summer came and chocolates started melting and lollies were getting sticky, we stopped, and we got angry customers, some even QUITTING because of it.

 

No Member would quit because of F2P getting updates. Lets Put this into perspective shall we, 20k autoers were in rs (about), Yew logs went up 50-100gp, an average of 75gp. Now try 500k+ people who cut yews and sell in F2P, thats about a 12.5k-25k price rise. No more alching yew longs. Must I continue here.

 

 

 

 

Now that is just rediculous, you see, customers QUITTING because they don't get their lolly? How SAD is that. The same applies to the staff too, now bosses don't HAVE to give their staff presents for their birthday, or a jet-ski ride with fish and chips as a treat every Friday, but my mum and dad do those things - and now they've come to EXPECT it, not taking into account the money for petrol, fish and chips and birthday presents (usually cologne which costs my mum about $120 per staff member) I think you get my point. You give them an update, they complain and ask for more. NO PAY = NO UPDATES. It's only fair.

 

Your mum does not buy the cologne for jagex. Yes, Jagex is a real nice company for giving presents but the workers don't expect them. They also play Paintball over at Andrew's house. We do not we ask for nothing. All the new players that only care about the content ask.

 

 

 

 

If I were to ever become F2P again, and we got an update, I wouldn't complain for more, in fact i'd be glad to even get ONE because I wouldn't be paying for anything! Well, atleast you'd think people would think that way, but most don't :roll:

 

 

 

When is the last time you were F2P when you were level 50 or 20? As I said before, we click ads and refer friends. We DO pay.

 

 

 

Shredded.

[The Observer]

Free players are able to preview the new detail and fullscreen modes for compatibility.

 

 

 

Well, it seems like we won't get fullscreen. We might get the new detail mode once the beta is finished.

 

 

 

And let's stop the F2P bashing please. Let's not make this into an "all F2P players are begger and macroer scum and should die in a pit of lava surrounded by a bunch of blood hungry wolves" thread please... :wall:

[psvstef]

i think f2p gets hd,no fullscreen

[Logdotzip]

Pat_61, you have a warped sense of payment if you think telling your friends to try RuneScape is equal to making a monthly payment with actual money to a company. And honestly WHEN was the last time you clicked an ad above the game? Those companies pay Jagex just for peple to see the ad, not just to click them. If payment was the same as telling a friend to play a game, I'd have 5 more dollars to spend a month. Shredded. OT, HD yes, FS no.

[Piscis_Rex]

If you are a free player, you can expect to be playing RuneScape HD as soon as the Beta period is over.

 

 

 

So yeah, free players will be getting HD, I doubt that they'll get fullscreen though

Personally, I think business and financial wise, they should do HD for Members only.

No. It will make RuneScape less of a game. They're trying to attract people to F2P first. They will probably make fullscreen members only. (However, I wouldn't mind it being F2P.)
