Is F2P Really Better Than P2P??

[Fadfdfd]

You debate. I personally think it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It takes about 2-3 minutes to run across the entire map when in p2p (and I'm f2p) it probably would take about 20 minutes.+ (Tell me if I'm right).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Less items to keep track off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you guys think? Could f2p be actually better than p2p!?

[n8myton]

No. While it is true that p2p'ers have more area to walk around they don't have to leave f2p area's if they don't want to. As for items, I suppose there are more to keep track of, but once again they don't have to get all those items.

[welephant]

That made me laugh, it really did just sum up the argument in an instant.

[Eyrelex]

Guess it depends on what you define "better" as, if better means less of everything then I guess f2p is better.

[cocacolabottle]

It's a bad thing that the world is way smaller? :? Freeplay is just the demo version of Runescape, offcourse it's not better.

[buffrichie]

I guess f2p is better for little kids who cant afford 5 dollars a month and wanna post a rediculous claim like this on the forums and get made fun of by people who can afford the pesky 5 dollars a month and have access to thousands of upgrades

Or maybe some f2pers just don't want to waste $5 a month on runescape because its not worth paying for?

[NJE03]

Both have advantages I think.

 

 

 

Members get easier training, more exp, items, areas etc.

 

 

 

But as non-member we have less option therefore we can focus on the few skill we have without worrying about all the member skills. Which I consider an advantage.

 

 

 

Basically is simpler. :)

[Bobthefishy]

If you say simpler is better, f2p is for you. If you like more complex stuff, then play in p2p.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha i just read yours saying simpler after i posted :D

I know you now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Freeplay is better, hands down. I am not a large fan of P2p, but I think with all the added bank space, extra items, more than 3 forges (some very close to anvils...and mines), All sorts of quests to get items to help you, easier prayer, better monsters, more experience in general. All this makes members too easy. It has been said that it's not the end result that you should be proud of, for the journy there yields greater happiness. If freeplay, the "journy" there, the very work involved is undoubtedly greater. Things are not too easy for us, we must walk (or teleport) all over the land just to get our mining and smithing done. we can't save time and do it all at once. We cannot go fish monkfish or shark to kill monsters with, we must rely on swordfish (or more commonly lobsters) we do not have all sorts of fancy spells to do our work for us, we do it by ourselves. You see, we don't have all the shortcuts members have, we don't have any good mage armour, nor any good ranger wear. yet we continue to strive through that, surmounting an even greater obsticle than those that give JaGEx their money because it's too hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

True, there are more things to do in members, but it's a real challenge sometimes to fit everything in a freeplayers bank. we can take nothing for granted that the members do, yet everything we do we can take for granted because it will never change. We must find ways to keep the redundancy away, somthing many members have quit for, although they get 52 or more updates a year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and through all this, we prevail, we fight, we fish, we mine, we smith. we do all these things in spite of the ease that can be bought. we do it the hard way, not for the money or experience involved, but for the sheer pleasure that comes from knowing you got to 90 cooking or 90 woodcutting the good old hard way. In a sence I'd rather be forced to do it the hard way than the member's way, because the end result is ever so much more treasured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

note: I'm not saying members are lazy, because there is a depth to the game I will never know, but it is true that many things (almost everything in fact) is much simpler to the average member than it is to the average freeplayer. I will likely make many people very upset with me, but this is -MY- view, and I'm sticking to it, no matter what they say. Unless of course someone makes a good argument, in which case, I may be swayed. If their case is good enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There, I think I beat that old dog to death

1. How could it be a scam? There's like 900,000 members. Don't you think if it was a scam someone would've picked up on it over the course of 5 years?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on topic: If your 13 or over like you should be to play this game, you could easily make $120 over 2 years. I could make $120 in a month if I went really intensive with babysitting.

Why does not being able to afford it make you a kid..?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for F2P or P2P they both have their pros and cons, obviously, P2P will have more pros, because they get a few more skills, mini-games, and just a whole lot more to do, so you have basically something new to do every time you play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like F2P because everything is more of a challenge.. You don't have access to more mines, more places to cut trees, more places to fish, ect. So when you get to a certain level, you feel you've accomplished more.. Plus it's always fun to chat it up with new players.. they're much more gratefull when you give them a few items to get a few levels, or a few gold.

2. I make a lot of money umping little league games. I just put it towards more important stuff, or at least more important stuff to me.

[Randomnameless]

The good part about f2p is that you feel good if you are the highest combat 70. IN member seventy is bad. In that case you are forced to raise your skills because you are a noob.

Parent's maybe don't know that? and how old are you? Are you a parent? if you were, would you send out money and information so your son can have updates on a video game?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put yourself in the parent's position.

[The_Dragon_Reborn]

Oh Fad..you've got a lot to learn buddy :wink: .

[Satenza]

Sometimes i stop members for the sole purpose of wanting things to be simple again. In that sence, yes F2P is better.

Ok, I'll put myself in the parents position:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm, my son wants to play this video game.... what? $5? I got that in change in my pocket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya, I'd say that I'd give up $5 a month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you REALLY want p2p, then you come up with a convincing arguement. e.g.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"This is a scam! I'm not giving out my credit number!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mom, there's 900,000 members, it's not a scam."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmmm. With that kind of wit, i should become a lawyer!

[Kenshinjapan]

Depends how you look

 

 

 

If you like simplr thing, then yes f2p is better

 

 

 

If you like more complex stuff and more things to do then members is for you

 

 

 

If you're like me, you joined members not because of all the updates, but the quiter servers and 90% less begging.

[hulkisloser]

I have been f2p for my whole time playing runescape which is about 4 months and let me tell you, The thing that I want most on December 25th is a membership.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to say F2p is better becuase there is less to do is seems pretty foolish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is a demo better than the real game because it's simpler.

If that's the case, then how come everybody who wants members doesn't have it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly, parents don't wanna put their information out on the internet, especially if it's for some game. and how do they know if the other parents aren't getting scammed? They can't, there are too many variables, and besides, some parents just won't pay money monthly for their kid to play a game, which you can play for free. and if you buy a year worth of membership, it's 60 bucks. and if you reorder members, it's 120, so on and so on, and not every family has 60, 120, etc. to just spend on a video game..

Not everyone has my kind of convincing skills. I can't understand why people wont put a credit number on the internet. well, on an obviously secure site. If you're not allowed to put it on a site, like say best buy.ca, then there's not much hope. That's likely why everyone who wants mebers doesnt have it.
