Runescape continues to make moves just to make them more money, but they don't care what the players think. Do they honestly need to have a 30 second advertisement between certain logins? The only reason they are doing this is to make more money, and they know that the players are going to hate this. Comeon Jagex..

I haven't noticed it. Maybe they only do it to people who bot. Or only to F2P.

I havn't had any adverts... :unsure:

Same. Haven't seen any.

Not seen any. Are you f2p?

I also have not seen any.

If you are F2P then that is how they make money off you. You get to play free, you have to deal with ads.

F2P here, but I haven't seen any. Luck? Blessing? You decide. I'm not going to look this 'Gift Horse' in the mouth! :cool:

 

~D. V. "And here, I buzz off..." Devnull

I haven't had this problem on any of my F2P accounts so idk what else to say.

Nope, seen nothing

I have actually seen these when I was playing on a random f2p acc for a bit.

Very annoying, and something they had specifically said they would not do...

No problem.

Yes, you can use ABP, but if you are F2P you agree not to block advertisements. If you are a member, then by all means use it.

I've had this a few times, but it's pretty rare. Even though I don't like it, I understand the need because F2P does need to be more than a 'dead weight'. I recall a fair number of years ago they tried to do this but removed it because F2Pers didn't like it. Somehow I doubt they'll be as accommodating this time :rolleyes:

 

Overall, it's so rare that I don't really care a whole lot.

Even odder here, I'm P2P and since last week, I think, I have advertisements while playing on the Member servers. :/ And Jagex doesn't seem helpful to me.

Jagex can't help you with a virus.

No, I don't mean a virus, I meant that overhead advertisement you normally get when playing F2P. Hmm, will edit my post, am a bit sleepy. XD

I've noticed these while runite mining in f2p. They are annoying, however, they are not the worst moneymaking scheme out there. A few years ago Jagex had similar ads upon each login for f2p. They were met with much criticism and Jagex promised to never have ads like them again...

Jagex have promised lots of things over the years. <_<

I only got the ads for F2P

 

Jagex, where customer relations are our bottom priority :lol:

 

In all seriousness though, this is a pretty good move from a buisness standpoint. Plenty of other sites, including youtube, have already blazed the trail for doing this sort of thing on free services, and ads that you are forced to watch are going to make a lot more money than banner ads that can easily be blocked.

Members seeing these is more likely to be a bug more than anything and should be reported as such.

 

As for the style of ad, probably just a more aggressive marketing campaign.

Wow, Jagex is really going for every cash grab they can think of now. I won't be surprised if there's a gold shop by the end of the year.

That's because you're grasping for reasons to complain about them.

They used to have ads between login on F2P and I was totally fine with it; I'm not sure why they removed it in the first place... you had to wait anyway.

Honestly wish they would remove world hop times... Apparently it was only there to prevent hogging resources, which I don't feel is a huge problem anymore.
