Instead of a "Firemaking Guild". let us make a "Pyromaniac Guild".

If you start a suggestion thread for that, feel free to put my name first on the list of supporters. :twisted:

 

 

 

As for the people arguing that it's not fair that some people can't pay for membership, well... welcome to a free-market economy. :)

[Toxicologist]

Are you joking!? If I make a thread about a "Pyromaniac's Guild" my reputation on these forums would crash! Well, not that I have much reputation to start off anyway, but still...

 

 

 

And I am sure if I make a thread like that, it will immediately be filled with flaming; which is kind of ironic, if you get my meaning.

Like I said a few posts back:

 

 

 

Wow, I haven't heard that worthless argument before.

[mikeb912]

 

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

 

 

 

F2p is a full game. P2p is an expansion pack.

 

 

 

Usualy the full game is much larger then an expansion pack, f2p is a demo for members since you can only access a part of the game... And your attemps are useless, Jagex will not give f2p a major update.

 

 

 

i completely agree. f2p is definately a demo. the p2p world is what like 5 time bigger than the f2p world. p2p is not an expansion pack.

[ieatpie]

yea....the f2p guilds are useless....

 

 

 

champs guild- u use for quest and buy overpriced items

 

cooking guild-make flour...and wine...chocolate

 

prayer-recharge prayer, get monkls robes and attempt to pick up scorp

 

miners-actually good

 

crafting-ok if u want gold, silver and cows...

 

 

 

and thats all.....

[hazardmaster]

I'm gonna quote myself, cause I'm too lazy to type it all over again.

 

 

 

Expansion packs are whatever they make it. Take The Sims for example. There are a total of 7 expansion packs for the original. Each one of these contains a complete set of new items. The first expansion pack multiplies by 5 the amount of people you can use. There are new jobs in a few of the first ones. The later ones give you completely new areas to explore, new options.

 

But it's still an expansion pack, albeit, a large set of them.

 

 

 

I once again reiterate, P2p is just the (massive) expansion pack of Runescape.

 

 

 

And Toxicologist posts on a lot of these posts because he tends to make coherent statements and some actual discussion as opposed to flames.

Pay to play MUST be better than Free to play very much. If you open a company you must make money from that. If you don't like free to play, just go ahead to Pay to play. And if pay to play's stuff is not really better than free to play very much, it's not enough attractive for people to join pay to play. I don't agree with this suggesstion to put fishing guild in free to play. Actually it's a bit of NO MONEY, NO TALK.

[Dayking321]

If any guilds should become f2p, they should be the Fishing guild (like on Karmaja, or somthing) and a better cooking guild. I have 57 cooking, and I have never been there. The only reason the Fishing guild should become f2p is because f2pers have no decent lobbie fishing locations, and that would help the RS econermy.

[Celluzion]

Lol, I remember posts like this way back in Scapeboard, and they're still materialising.

 

 

 

I said this before, I'll say it again.

 

 

 

JAGeX will only update F2P once in a while, say every 2-3 years maybe.

 

 

 

The last major update for F2P was RS2 wasn't it? With that came all the member stuff like Oak - Yew trees and all the extra bows and arrows IIRC.

 

 

 

Then now the new combat\security thing with Barb Village teleport.

 

 

 

I would actually say you're pretty fortunate they still care about F2P enough to add more security measures to educate the people about account security etc.

 

 

 

 

 

I think extra guilds would be out of the question for JAGeX to implement into F2P, don't get me wrong, I would like to see an F2P update. But I do not thing JAGeX would want to update F2P so as to make P2P more "desirable".

[PrOfEsIoNaL]

To be honest.

 

This game started more than 8 years ago.

 

I wonder why for so many years.

 

There's still lack of so many guilds.

 

All types of skill should have it's own guild other than training attack, defence, strength & hitpoints.

 

All FTP skills should have a guild in FTP.

 

It can be a little lesser than PTP.

 

If what is needed removed.

 

Then there's no fairness anymore.

 

For now it's like jagex is rejecting FTP.

 

Yet FTP players' made runescape the way it is today.

 

Without FTP there'll never be PTP.

 

Even now jagex don't dare to take FTP away.

[TheMinerGuy]

Jagex will never put a fishing guild in f2p, it already exists in members...

 

 

 

You are free to play. Jagex is a company like all other companies, their goal is to make a profit. Name me one other MMORPG on the market that has a free unlimited-time demo for the game, most of them is restricted to something lik 7 days. You do not pay = you do not have a good service. If you want a better service become a member.

 

 

 

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

 

 

 

F2p is a full game. P2p is an expansion pack.

 

 

 

Jagex will NEVER update P2P with anything major like new guilds because they want to entice new f2p players to members to make more money.

 

 

 

nuff said.

[FalconBomba]

Ok I'm f2p and I don't think f2p deserves this, it's a big attractor to p2p.

 

edit: I know of one f2p guild, the cooking guild. There, be happy and shush.

 

2nd Edit: Found another f2p guild, if you could call it that, the monastery, aka Prayer Guild.

[magicrune]

There are already alot of fishing autoers, and im happy they have to go to karamja each time. Guild would only make it easier for autoers.

 

 

 

Remember:

 

Jagex is NOT going to move the guild (where would they put it btw?? they arent going to expand free world)

[PrOfEsIoNaL]

Jagex don't have to expand FTP world.

 

Just change the place of fishing guild somewhere around kramja dungeon.

 

The fishing guild will be under a dungeon through a ladder or rope.

 

FTP will only get 1 or 2 fishing spots for each type of FTP fishing only.

 

PTP will get 2 to 5 fishing spots for each type of fish.

With my game, I was trying to emulate text MUDs at the time, purely as a hobby. I worked on it on and off over a number of years...and I believe I started from scratch 3 or 4 times. I finally launched a version of the game after a left university in 2001. The basic plan was to run it for free, but to pay for my hobby through advertising. However, when the dot com bubble began to collapse, advertising dried up, and there was no way to pay for the game's server.

 

 

 

This was really unfortunate because just the week before I had got 3 big servers for the game, and now was left with no way to pay for them. I began asking players for donations, but quickly decided that this was not the best way to go about it - to rely on people's sympathy.

 

 

 

This is how the members thing came about, with awarding premium items for members. Of course, when you begin to have people pay for things, things become quite a bit more complicated than they did when things were free, and I realized that I needed a proper commercial side of things in order to run it as a business.

 

 

 

(Found this on the More F2P Bank Space thread, said it was from http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_i ... tory=13769)

 

 

 

I absolutely HATE having F2P called a demo.

 

 

 

We do need new guilds, just without any of the P2P features. I support.

[PrOfEsIoNaL]

Agreed.

[frogmann2]

I don't think it will ever happen because guilds is one of the reasons people often join p2p. But it would be nice to have a more easily accesible lobby spot :pray:

[PrOfEsIoNaL]

Not really.

 

If that really is then there will be no FTP now.

 

All of us will be in PTP guilds.

ever thought of the people who can't become a member because of pressing issues, even though they really want to? it's a sad part of the world, but it exhists just as much as the third world countries and their inhabitants. f2p is totally deprived.
