Why is the RS Classic "members only"?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know why is RS Classic only playable by members now? It wasn't "members only" when I started playing RS2!

Every path you have trod, through wilderness and through war, has led to this road...

there was too many autominers etc.

Jagex hates rsc and wants to kill it, so they used the excuse of autoers so they can kill 90% of the rsc population.

Classic bloodveld for lyph3! Although I do like the new ones.

Like a ninja, here I was, gone I am now.

Quite simply RSC was overrun by autoers. The legit players were actually in the minority. Making it P2P only deterred the autoers somewhat, but to be honest RSC is on it's last legs to be honest. I'd be quite amazed if it was still running in a year's time.

Honestly?

 

To the author: Read up on Jagex's news and they'll give you their own version of events.

 

Lol sorry I'm just not 100% concentrating on my posts today

I'm a member and when I tried to log into RSC it said I couldn't. Something about if you hadn't logged in in the past 6 months or something then you couldn't. Too bad because I liked to go onto RSC now and again. :(

Yep, like I said, they are trying to kill classic.

Maybe they're getting rid of people who spend 5 bucks a month to auto rsc :?

Or trying to keep the servers open :\ there wasn't enough member accounts using rsc to make keeping the f2p servers open viable. Jagex kept going from the money generated by rs2 and the adverts but the macroing problem got so out of control they had no choice to close rsc as the game engine rsc is based on isn't able to have a sophisticated macro detection system and it wasn't worth wasting the resources to have mods hunt for macroers.

 

 

 

If they limit the members that can log into rsc to 6 months then they can cut out the people that are notr really interested in rsc and therefore they will have to run fewer servers for those that wish to continue playing rsc over the main game, cutting costs to make keeping runescape classic open an option.

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

 

 

 

  • [*:260vsh7p]All people who haven't played in the last 6 months (or something of the sort) are banned.
     
    [*:260vsh7p]No more members can enter
     
    [*:260vsh7p]Members only

 

 

 

Theres now less people that can play classic than then is christmas crackers. Saying that this was only to kill autoers is like saying nuking the US is the best way to get rid of mexicans :roll:

$10 says that rsc is shut down by the end of the year, it's just not profitable anymore.
