a year of membership is like ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì55(europe)

 

wich is the price of 1 computergame(x-box,PSP,PS2,...)

 

but i have never had a computer game wich i played 3 - 4 hours a day for a year

 

so p2p is really really worth its money

Okay, although obvious, it never occured to me that F2P was a free trial. Ha ha! What a fool I've been... thanks for pointing that out. So sorry about that, but I still think the Runescape membership cost can add up.

I think it's cheap as chips!! :D If you think about computer games like The Sims where it's ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 per expansion pack and take into account there are usually around 3 expansions released per year if you buy all of them you've already spent nearly twice as much as what one years subscription of Runescape costs. Plus I like how they seem to have introduced various methods of paying like through SMS which means that kids who don't have a cashcard/credit card can pay for it themselves out of their allowance if they get it.

no i think its fantastic value and to be honest i get more out of it than most console games

You know guys, thanks! I am beginning to feel posotive about the aspects of Runescape and you have pursuaded me to subscribe again. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5.00 a month isn't too bad and if I go washing cars for an hour on the first Saturday of every month, I'll have a fiver to spend on Runescape membership. Thanks!

And you will still have change left over because it's ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.20 :D

As my orange compatriot, David [bleep]inson, would say:

 

"It's as cheap as chips!"

Its no problem, but remember it is your choice to be a member. I have a feal with my parents saying that if they let me become a member i won't buy new releases games so they like more than happy to agree lol. ANyways. :)

no its not too exspensive...5 dollars is very cheap compared to other online games u have to pay for. be thankful its not much more, jagex is actually probaly making a very good profit, think of all the members paying 5 dollars a month, thats pretty good after u add it all up...if its too exspensive for u then take a break n be a non member for a while, then go back to it...stop complaining.

Hmm, I don't think it's too expensive at all. Here in Canada, it's $7.30 or something. Minimum wage around here is $8 per hour so if you work 1 horu at minimum wage, you have members for a month, that's how I think about it.

$5 a month is very cheap compared to other games out there...

If you think $5 is a lot, its rather sad.

 

 

 

It depends on the situation...Some people just dont have enough cash..

 

and then 5 is much

also were talking about british pounds not american dollars

My friend with low grades and without any qualification gets paid $2 an hour. In my country, for one month p2p, it's $19, so he can get one month of members with 10 hours of work. It's not very bad considering he has no qualification and thats the starting pay!

 

 

 

I agree, $5 is not much but I still think all members should have a tuitorial island kind of thing because I am 100% sure that 99.9% of new members get lost on their first day.

im going straight to my main point with out reading everyone's post. (i read yours, just not the 3 pages of responses. this idea may have already come up)

 

 

 

a normal game rent from Blockbuster is $7.99. lets round that up to $8. your rent lasts a WEEK. (yes, technically you can keep it for 29 days without being penelized due to their new policy, but they expect it to come back in a week.)

 

 

 

now compare $8 a week to $5 a month. hmm. thats $1.25 a week. i must say, that is a big difference. now, i side with you on that if i just bought a game such as guild wars, that i would only have to pay the 1 fee. but the only game like that is guild wars, which i found out takes a high end type of graphic card (which i dont have) and i cant play it. you may have it, but i dont, and some people may not have it, so i think playing runescape on members is just fine.

I'm living in small country and i can't pay with simple VISA so I'm paying by e-gold, but if I'm paying by e-gold then I have to pay 7.90$/month... that is a bit expensive... Why I can't pay by e-gold 5.00$/month, that would be really good...

Here in Bangkok, which you can say a poverty city, labors get ~US$4.5 per day. Pay off $2.5 for general expenses, you should have $2 left. Work for 3 days every month and you can go P2P.

 

 

 

BTW My friend stole his parent's credit card and regged his A/C.

 

 

 

This game isn't great though, sometimes slow and laggy. I remember my char running around without reason, resulted in 45% running stamina drained.

To make it short, console games won't last me a month.

 

 

 

Online games does. :) I'd rather pay 5 dollars when I want to, then buy a game for 40-50 dollars that should keep me interest for... 3 days? (Yes that has happened to me, that dam nintendo.) :oops:

Since My parents came from a very poor heritage, I'm not going to flame anyone if $5 is too much for someone to afford.

 

 

 

Take WoW into consideration, it cost $15 dollars to play every month (I love playing it just as much as rs, so it's worth it). Now compare... $5/$15, that's over 3x less every month.

 

 

 

Overall, rs membership is VERY cheap compared to any other MMORPG out there. Maybe I think so because my brother pays for everything... :? ehh I dunno.

60 quid a year is hardly debt enducing.

The only other thing i have to disagree with is them charging more for people who pay by moblie phone, than by credit card. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.20 on credit card i think. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5 on mobile phone... If it was ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.20 on mobile phone i'd pay it no bother

To much? Are you joking.

 

 

 

Most games are well over 5 a month, yeah they have better graphics but the amount of content of runescape is starting to compete with them.

 

 

 

If anything it should be more, 5 a month is change that you can get from getting cans. :roll:

 

 

 

true.

No, But im not the one paying anyway :P

I definitely do not think the monthly fee is all that much. It costs more to go to the movies ONCE, and that is only for 2 hours. If you play enough, the money is definitely worth it.

I agree with the people who have said 'you should be able to pay by phone for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.20' as a teenager with no credit card, I have to pay more than adults with one. Surely, if anything it should be the other way around?
