More expensive than WoW and FFXIV, and those games let you have a bunch of characters on the same sub. Amazing business move

Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

Holy moly I didn’t know you could still play old RuneScape. I think I found my account like 8 years ago after not playing for a decade and I was like “neat” and signed off. Lol

From the sounds of it, your account would be on the “original” Runescape 3, rather than the Old-school Runescape this post is about.

Old-school Runescape is essentially a fork of a random backup they found of the game as it existed in 2007 that they released in 2013 after a lot of dissatisfaction about how Runescape had changed over that timespan.

None of the accounts/characters from the original game were migrated.

It is popular and it has a huge amount of added content with raids, quests, areas and boss fights that are super hard.

I lost all my Spirit when I grinded for the best sword, I forget what it was called, then my account was compromised :/. So many hackers back then.

jagex is a very shitty company and shitty companies don’t want money, they want all the money. they will kill this game eventually. I hate jagex, from jagex accounts which is just a blatant attempt to phase out 3rd party tools and lock people to their ecosystem (which also fucked me over because the new account system blocks my entire country) to their customer service which is horrendous.

now they’re raising prices to appear more profitable probably to trick another prospective buyer and get tossed around again.
