If you say a glass is half full, you are optimistic. If you say the glass is half empty, you are pesimistic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what if I say the glass is at 50% capacity?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A literalist :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what if I say the glass is twice as large as it needs to be?

OK, first thing: Don't try to act like you know more than me (or anyone for that matter) when you don't know what you're talking about.

 

 

 

Let me put it in a context you can understand:

 

 

 

Can the F2P version of Runescape exist independently without P2P?

 

 

 

Yes, it can.

 

 

 

Can the P2P version of Runescape exist as a separate entity from F2P?

 

 

 

No it cannot, because of the land, the skills, the items etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can it be that P2P is the full game when it cannot exist as a single game?

It really is a sill argument, and one that none of us actually knows the real answer to, but that's never stopped me before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my opinion the F2P version is not a "demo", nor is the full version an "expansion pack". The F2P servers run a full version of the game with modified data tables. Which is why, on the free version, there are still dungeon entrances, agility shortcuts and members quest NPCs. Which, instead of acting the way they do on member's severs give you the "You need to be on a member's server to access..." spiel. Similarly all the code to display members items exists on the free servers - with changes to their data tables to replace their names with "members object" and set all their stats to zero.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it would be more correct to refer to the free version as a "feature locked trial version" than as a "demo" which is usually a cut-down version of a piece of software. And more correct to see the P2P version as the full version rather than an "expansion pack" which usually refers to specific functionality that you pay extra for over and above what you would pay for the full version of a piece of software.
