Chance for a couple of bucks a month for playing a game... Sounds good to me :)

 

Edit: Changed title a little

[Den]

I agree, nice thing to do. |^_^|

[pulli23]

probably again some artistic thing -.-

[Guthorm]

The post is pretty obvious man, it is cash.

[lordkafei]

That headline is misleading. One person is not going to win $10,000 a month; ten people are going to win $1000.

[bored321]

Hmm, they should spend that 120k on some good updates... Or give it to me. :razz: I wonder how many botted accounts will profit from this.

[Will H]

That headline is misleading. One person is not going to win $10,000 a month; ten people are going to win $1000.

Yeah, this bugs me. Can someone adjust the title?

 

I remember that they've held similar prize draws like this before, but it was artwork or membership credit or something? Cash is much more exciting, cheers Jagex :)

[Slayer_Jesse]

Jagex is going to pay me for playing rs? yes please. (I'll take my payment under the door at 3am. Come alone. I've never seen you before in my life.)

[Vex]

Free stoof plx

[motocrossbri]

What currency is this in.

[Aslan]

Would be pretty nice if a tifer was in those 120 winners.

[Peronix]

Cool, finally a prize that isn't membership.

 

Well anyway you probably have a 10x better chance of going to dust devils once a month, killing one of them, and getting a dragon chain than winning one of these prizes. I think a better way of rewarding loyal players would be looking at the backlog of how many months total each account has been a member and giving them one entry per month of membership for 12 months.

[Slayer_Jesse]

What currency is this in.

 

I'm assuming USD, since they used $ and not the pounds symbol.

[Krampell]

That headline is misleading. One person is not going to win $10,000 a month; ten people are going to win $1000.

I know it's misleading, but that's pretty much that the scroll thingy on their homepage said. =S

 

Edit: I changed it a little.

[Wessan]

This is pretty cool I think. I dont even have to fill out a form, whoop!

 

But I agree that the title is misleading on the homepage.

[Ginger_Warrior]

Title is very misleading. Especially if they take winning tickets out of the draw - then it's impossible to win $10,000 per month unless you have ten accounts.

[Sam]

Clever marketing from Jagex. Good incentive to get membership though.

[Johannas]

For an English company they sure hate using GBP

[Slayer_Jesse]

americans are a larger user base than the brittish are, if im not mistaken.

also, try speaking American, its the only language i understand... IN AMERICA!

[BloodAngel]

For an English company they sure hate using GBP

The USD is used across the globe for trade and economics.

 

Anyway I think this is pretty cool, I'd be pretty happy with $1,000 :P

[Articultural]

What creature is that in the picture on their homepage? I might be mistaken, but it doesn't look like anything currently ingame.

I think its To'Kash The Bloodchiller, not 100% sure though.

No, each month of membership will give you 30-31 chances of winning.

(taken from the news page)

 

 

for each day in a given month that your account has membership credit, you'll automatically be given one entry into the draw.

[Danqazmlp]

I don't see how people find it misleading. You have a chance of winning 10k, through winning 1k/month ish.

[das]

will this be $1k USD or 1k USD in rs gp?

 

(Someone had to) - I do not support RWT, Was making a joke :P
