The complete "Should F2P get updates?" Debate! 5,000 views!

[opeth2009]

i dont think this has been said but it doesnt make sense in any sort of financial way to give updates to f2p. if you give them updates then they will have no reason to upgrade to members.

[Zaon50]

i think that nonmembs really shouldn't get many updates...while i was a nonmemb, i was sorta a little annoyed at the member updates, but i saw that since they paid, they get updates. Also, it's one more thing to look forward to when i became a member. really, nonmembs is a DEMO, and as such, shouldn't recieve updates.

[opeth2009]

I am sick to death of the P2P ppl that are so gready. More more more, thats all you say. I my self am a P2P person, but I don't need continus updates. And when ppl say "Less for F2P, more for P2P", are you rich snobs that expect everything perfectly given to you? F2P gets almost no updates at all, and how could u possilby keep up with more than 4-5 updates a month.

 

 

 

You people really me make sick.

 

 

 

we pay i say we get the updates. it wouldent be fair if im paying and someone else isnt and they get the same thing

[opeth2009]

Maybe a two-month free-trial with all of the abitlities of f2p and p2p for those two months. That way people who really like rs can buy more time and if they dont like it, let the two months run out.

 

 

 

good idea but it can easily be abused by autoers and such

[muahahaha]

F2P, do get updates...kind of. Well they get the holiday events just like members do, and theres graphical updates too.

 

Personally, I think F2P shouldn't get updates. If F2P, got regular updates like P2P does, then there would be less people signing up for membership

 

Well i am a f2p and id rather get some cooler updates than just holiday items and graphical updates and i believe most f2p agrees with me. Id rather not get those (especially the graphical ones) and get some real updates (like some new skills or some new items)

 

obviously you want updates, the question is why should you get them? it's not like you pay, or contribute to the game except for a small amount of money due to the ads that you don't read. members pay for jagex's effort, and that is why we get the updates. all you have to do to get updates is pay a measly $5 ($8 in Canada), you can even do it through the mail if your parents won't let you use their credit cards.

 

in case u havent noticed (if u ever log on a f2p world) THERE IS AN AD AT THE TOP. Jagex earn more mny from than the mny from p2p

 

One million members times $5 US a month=$5 million US a month. If you think Jagex is getting paid more than 60 million US a year to run ads, you really should go back to grade school, if you aren't there right now.

 

u r making me sick. So u think that f2p should be De-graded or something? it sure sounds like it.

not degraded, i think they should remain the same personally

 

and yes jagex makes much more money per member then nonmember

 

the only reason there is a f2p in my opinion is to make money off the advertisements

[muahahaha]

Compassion? this is off topic but y do ppl donate mny to the poor? the poor didnt pay to get free services from governments. Its a human virtue called compassion. Its also a business issue cuz if they dont update it, all f2ps will quit and jagex will earn less mny

or what happens in most cases is the people on the free servers get tired of the crowded servers and end up paying jagex to go to a members server

i was actually taking to Ianir

[opeth2009]

k sorry lol i was just giving my thoughts

[drapit]

F2p Should get more bank space. Seriously, Jagex just adds a whole lot of randoms and expect f2ps to store all those costumes?!

[muahahaha]

the only major updates for f2p EVER is the rc skill, and strongholl of security. Thats basically it :!: if ive played since like 2002 or something id hav long quit. Im gonna quit eventually. f2p deserve more updates!

[muahahaha]

i know its kinda sad i dropped full camo, full zombie, and part of mime and im still very short of space :x

[unkn0wnwarrior]

Actually, more often than not they just quit. Why should P2P be any less crowded? There is nothing to say otherwise.

even if you quit im sure 4 other people got members, if this wasnt true then jagex would change somthing

good point im going to have to agree with you i didnt think of it like that.

 

im sure they make more money off 1 person who changed to members than the 5 people that quit

well jagex kinda did change it... A teeny weeny bit

yes if they add more items they should add more space...this is a problem in members to...well at least for me

[muahahaha]

well talking about crowded there are A LOT less macroers in p2p worlds ( i know cuz my frend told me)

There is a slight difference here, being that members do get increases in bank sizes when they release a large update, where F2P haven't. With smaller updates, they expect you to manage your bank to fit the new items in, whether fair or not.

but i see what you're saying. new randoms giving new costumes should merit new bankspace...or a way to store these costumes such as that guy in drynor holds all the holiday items

[muahahaha]

Sorry guys but i think were getting a little carried away. the original question was:

 

Should f2ps get more/less updates?

 

were starting to talk about macros and how short of bank space ppl are

[muahahaha]

good idea :lol:

[Ranker11]

Im a member, and i think f2p should atleast, get 4 updates every 6-7 months, we members dont have to be this selfish........

[Cabbage_Boii]

Well ive played runescape for about 7 years now and ive only been a member for about 1 year, when i was f2p i would have strongly said heck yes we need MORE now im a member and i kinda think well we definetly get what we pay for...but yes i still think for all the ''f2pers'' they do need SOMETHING maybe not a ''new'' update but give them sumthing that us members alredy have, maybe make their beautiful rune scims poisoned or sumthing give em sharks cause it will be new to them so 1 more thing for them to get.Members get 1 thing a week so jagex probly works pretty hard to get this done...but i dont think any member will mind 1 week every month with no update and instead give an update to the f2pers,if u do well you must be a pretty greedy guy : mind u jagex might be doing this to get more money cause they are convincing f2pers to pay for membs since the f2pers want updates :-k
