F2P is getting boring,i mean sure runescape are putting new updates in every couple of months but if your say a level 70 with most stats over 50 you can easily do the F2P achievement diary in a few days.Seem most level 70's probably would have done all the F2P quest theres only one thing to do train skills or get money. So i ask do you think runescape will make a quest better then dragon slayer that uses every skill for F2P or make a whole new skill for F2P?Please dont say i need to pay for membership i realise it would enhance my enjoyment a lot im just suggesting F2P need a new skill.

 

 

 

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Well, F2P is pretty much a demo of Runescape, they're tying to get you to get membership since you get bored of F2P.

 

 

 

See what they did there?

xmas quest, haloween quest....?

Why?

 

We don't pay and we've already got enough this year:

 

FOG

 

GOP

 

TWO quests

 

etc...

 

 

 

What more do you want? :roll:

With EVERYTHING that F2P got over the year of 2008, you STILL want more? (I'm F2P BTW. :thumbsup: )

 

 

 

You should just get Members if you're still bored with F2P after all of the wonderful updates that JaGeX gives us. If you want more frequent updates, P2P is the place to be. Just like Wongtong stated, F2P is but a demo of RuneScape, and the whole point is to get you to Members so JaGeX makes money off of your subscription. You pay for better things that don't bore you as much.

it took u a cpuple days for diray that noobish :lol: lol i di it in under 30 mins umm yeah new quests greatly apprieciated its up there with a f2p spell book and booss

Look christmas,thanksgiving,halloween and easter are easy you can do them in like an hour,you get over fog quickly and any high level will get pretty bored quickly so if they made a good quest that takes ages for f2p then they would get more players that dont want to pay for membership. Because even if they arent paying jagex still get more money from advertising companies who want to advertise based on the amount of runescape players which most of these are f2p. O:) O:)

It costs money to update the server.

 

 

 

Ex:1 Server not updated 12 f2p'ers quit

 

In that time when 12 quit some number (more than 12) will join.

 

And this could make 6-7 f2p'ers become member making JaGex more money in the long run.

 

 

 

Ex:2 JaGex spends money on f2p servers.

 

The 12 don't quit and some more join.

 

No f2p'ers become a member making JaGex less money in the long run.

F2P is getting boring

 

Sorry, didn't look past this statement. Go buy Members, you'll be less bored.

OF COURSE NOT !!

 

 

 

Jagex released two temporary quests for f2p, and added events and items which give a better "taste" of members. Why ask for more? :roll:

Do you have proof?

 

Various financial indicators.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While advertising and subscription revenue are both shown to be going up, the data indicates that there is a trend towards subscriptions becoming a larger proportion of their primary revenue.

 

 

 

Taken from another thread titled 'Jagex's finances, ownership, operation and trends' written by 'me'<---that's his/her user-name alright :lol: : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=776192

 

 

 

Well, perhaps a really hard quest for f2p is alright I guess (not those holiday-events-[bleep]-quest type of quests); I am not against it or anything to be honest.

I made a graph too. It literally took me 10 mins fudging around in excel.

 

 

Their data doesn't seem to be legit.

Every post of your I see is you talking about F2P, bashing members for talking about non-members or being proud of being F2P...

 

 

 

Who the hell would take the time to make a fake chart like that?

 

 

 

7% Advertisement, + Don't forget the main page which members have to visit as well - meaning that F2P'ers make around 5% of Jagex's money. That's probably enough for servers + customer support + new content for them.

 

 

 

Also Non- Members have gotten like 10 updates in the last year or so. Be gratefully for what you get. It's 5 damn bucks after all.

 

FOG

 

GOP

 

TWO quests

 

 

+ ...Lumbridge diary;

 

+ ...Explorers Ring(3).

 

 

 

It's been a good year for F2P : .

i pay 10

F2P got new mini-games, quests, items...

 

 

 

Don't whine please.

ok im alwys very vocal in :F2p desreves this and even most of the time P2p desreves this

 

but seriously

 

-FOg

 

-Lumbridge ring (the single most useful item in f2p)

 

-temporary quests

 

-HD with fit to screen option

 

-duel arena (even though its useless)

 

-clan wars

 

-pvp worlds

 

-corrupt dragon (sucks but makes some nice money once u get it as drop =D> )

 

 

 

it has been the best year for f2p ever since 2000 (when i started playing)

 

 

 

So STOP YOUR PHAILCAKE WHINING AND BE GLAD!

You don't pay, you don't "deserve" anything, you got HD, be thankful for that.

Yup, how do we know the validity of the data? I am not going to validate the accuracy of this data since all these was done by 'me' and hence the link to the thread that originally provided these data. Maybe you'll want to take a look at that thread and see what 'me' has to say? I can't think of anyone who would waste time giving false information , producing fake graphs just to escalate the f2p-p2p flame war. I thought 'me' did a nice job doing all these research and also small interviews with JAGeX employees etc. Of course it's very easy to brush it off as fakes and all but I am going to give 'me' the benefit of a doubt and trust that the information provided is as accurate as could be.

 

 

 

I have never been against f2p having updates (being f2p for about 5-6 years already) however I know that for extra, constant game-content updates, I'll have to subscribe. I'll admit that I always look forward to reading those BTS news for that "available to free players" phrase. Was really appreciative of SOS, SOPS, GOP, graphical update, team-capes and all especially the graphic update because I didn't expect them to give us the 'almost full-screen' version.

 

 

 

That being said, on-topic, I agree on giving a 'f2p-grandmaster-quest-of-epic-proportion' to f2p but that's just my opinion though. Where there are people who agree, there'll be people who are bound to disagree.. :) oh well..

I personally don't beleive that F2p need a new quest. What Jagex is trying to do is when you eventually get bored with F2p you upgrade to members. From a business point of view theres no point updating consistently to encourage customers to not pay. The infrequent updates work much better as they wet the appetite for more frequent updates ie. in members.

If you're F2P, don't ask for updates because:

 

 

 

a) You don't deserve them

 

B) You won't get them

 

c) You don't deserve them

Is there a problem with f2p?

 

Yes.

 

Does it pertain to quests?

 

Not necessarily.

 

Does it pertain to new skills?

 

No.

 

What is it?

 

Magic survival in Combat versus meleers

 

Can it be released in a quest?

 

Sure can.

 

But does f2p actually need a quest?

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

So now, there doesn't need to be a new quest unless it's advertisement for p2p (seasonal quests). However, it is still a viable option.

F2P is getting boring,i mean sure runescape are putting new updates in every couple of months but if your say a level 70 with most stats over 50 you can easily do the F2P achievement diary in a few days.Seem most level 70's probably would have done all the F2P quest theres only one thing to do train skills or get money. So i ask do you think runescape will make a quest better then dragon slayer that uses every skill for F2P or make a whole new skill for F2P?

 

 

 

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

 

 

 

Are you serious? Look, if you want more content, simply pay for members. F2P, is Free To Play, meaning that we don't pay, though we do support ourselves by viewing the ads placed on F2P worlds. So really, why should Jagex make new major quests for us? Because you're bored? As for a new skill, don't consider that to be a possibility for even a moment. F2P, is a smaller, simpler Runescape, if you want more, go P2P.
