To mem, or not to mem?

[vox1st]

It has been a long while guys. I kind of ditched the runescape scene when Halo Reach was released. THen real life happened. Now I am back for a while ^_^

 

I don't know if I will have the time to offer my talents to the tip it team again, but that is beside the point.

 

 

Do I pay for memebership or not? That is the question! I see the price is like $8 now <_< however If I remember right if you pay for long enough or something, they give you a break on that...I don't know really.

 

So since I started a few days ago, I started doing the runespan(which honestly makes me happy and sad at the same time) and I am happily gaining more XP for free than I ever did at the ZMI RC alter. I am feeling the love of the game return. So is membership worth it? I see they added clans, do we have a tip it clan? Are the clan castle things fun/worth it?

 

Anything else you want to tell me about is welcome. One thing I loved doing was stealing creations, I loved that minigame, one of the few where a skiller like me could enjoy the benefits of having high skill levels.

 

I have always loved quests, and want to know if in the last couple years if any have come out that have low combat requirements, but higher skilling levels or that focus on interesting problem solving. I also want to know what is a good way to level up crafting(without losing all my money)..... XD

 

So thanks guys, I want to be informed. I am not in it for PvP or even PvE(I level up slayer with penguin points) so....worth buying membership?

 

Oh and I see people think jagex is being crazy with their money grubbing, but I must ask, how many servers do they have? I feel like that is a big reason why they would ask for money more than before.

Searching for a post right now that might swing your decision.

 

Edit: How fail! I was looking for a specific post when I should have been looking for an entire topic. <_<

Isn't that offer only for first time members? I thought that in that thread someone said it was.

 

Anyway vox1st, I would say that if you enjoyed being a member before, you will enjoy it now. Perhaps only buy a month or two at a time just in case you find yourself not wanting to play anymore.

 

Also, for the money grubbing, it's mostly because Jagex is now owned by investors and not actual gamers (as it was when the Gowers owned majority). Therefore they try to suck up all the profit possible to please the shareholders and not what the Gowers did which was a lot less 'make as much money as possible' and more 'make enough to live comfortably and still invest in the longevity of the game'.
