To think Jagex did no calculations about the potential loss from increasing pricing is so foolish, they know they will lose some members but they see the revenue benefit as worthwhile
Hooli absolutely meant they weren't talking about how to specifically monetize the actual specific in-game item, not that a paywall wouldn't exist. I would be outright SHOCKED if these were introduced in a way that didn't allow Jagex any profit considering the paywall in the original items.
Just add a shop/npc where you charge an item that requires a 1-99 progression path(like you can only mine iron or lower at the equivalent of lv10-15 xp) where it could create an artificial skill reset/limitations until you hit 12m of the skill's xp then it gives the inverted skillcape Could have the npc/shop reset every month or few months to light the same fire or have the ones from that not be tradable
Init has been hitting the ranarr too much why not have it aquirable like the skilling pets however you can only acquire it if your currently wearing the skill cape/ 99 in the skill
the fact you can pay the same for wow and have a bunch of different characters and this antique fuck of a game makes you pay for every single account you create speaks wonders people call Blizzard/Activision greedy which they are, but if they are greedy and wow has sustained the same price since launch says A LOT about Jagex
Player owned house aquarium. If you collect all the eggs and prestige (reset and complete again) 3 times then you unlock all of the prawn shop rewards. The most convenient rewards are the baitless fishing options.
Besides RS I play a lot of world of warships. In WoWS you have the ability to reset a completed line of ships. When you regrind that line, you earn a resource that you can then spend to buy exclusive premium ships. I think RS could do something similar but you reset a maxed skill to lvl 1. Then as you regrind it back up you earn a special currency along the way that you can use for something else. Could be like enhanced abilities like fletching 2 bows per log or maybe the ability codexes. Instead of having to farm bosses for them you can also earn them by resetting and re-maxing. Inverted skillcapes could be the reward for re-maxing.
There are so many new skilling methods that have been added to the game that I never got to experience because I was already maxed out. Resetting skills and regrinding them gives me to opportunity to try out all those different methods, without having to create an alt account.
120 inverted capes should just be the 200m capes. It'll get people to actually push for 200m and will temporarily breathe a new life into the game with people actually wanting to grind. If you already had the capes unlocked you should still be able to use them. So that'll also make people think 'Cool, I can use this 200m cape even though i dont have 200m' and they'll brag about that for years. Because you know people in Runescape brag about the smallest things. Like their bot accounts that were downgraded or having 9 hp instead of 10.
Honestly the one thing Jagex has done right over the years is their grandfather system, everything keeps going up and being passed down to us the consumer, basically these firms are trying to hang on to profitability that its leaning more and more into greed. Been playing since it was $5 a month (US), the only reason I didn't get into WoW was because the game was $15 at the time and I was a broke teen. P.S I played FSW and managed to get one inverted skill cape, they are pretty cool however as someone who didn't have all the time in the world to get all of them at the time, if they do bring them back one way or another, it would be nice for those who have fresh world accounts if those account were able to choose which cape they get, kind of like you can choose the old vs new styles now. As for people that didn't play FSW, including my main account, maybe they can be a reward in game for completing certain achievements tied to that skill, or better yet make them widely available at 110 or something. Regardless I do want them back in the game and as a FSW player I could care less about the exclusivity of them, I hardly ever play that account unless I need to duo a boss or something.
I've played Runescape 23 years off and on. Haven't been a member in close to a year. I only log on holidays and certain treasure hunters. I'm already maxed, so the only way I would EVER pay for membership again is if ALL my accounts got members for 1 price. To be honest, this game has become so boring for me, it's hard to stay logged on for more than 5-10 minutes. I do love these videos! They keep me up to date on a game I don't really play lmao. Thanks for the vid Init, se ya in the next one!
With the price increase Jagex could at least add some incentive to buy it. A cosmetic no one uses, a chat badge no one uses, and specific world most players don't use, old cosmetics most don't use and the vault which personally I always forget to do since it's not worth my time is not worth it (I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting this is just what's on the top of my head). At least have it be for two characters (both must be under same jagex account) that way players can have it be for their main and an ironman (maybe use said ironman for group ironman). Maybe have a unique channel in the official discord that premier subscribers can submit questions or feedback/concerns (maybe like once a month or few months) to the mods.
The only way they can release inverted capes without "underminding" the "value/grind" associated with inverted capes is to either 1) continue doing fws modes regularly or 2) make them available only to accounts created after fws ended that obtain 99/120 in a skill. Their biggest complaint is that it was such a massive grind to 99/120 in fws (which it really wasnt) so the value of them is tied to the 1-99/120 grind with boosted xp rates. So if you eant that "value" to remain, then there has to be an equal or greater grind for them now. Hince why the options are fws2 and on or new account. Thats the only way to keep the 1-99/120 grind "value" attached to the inverted capes. However if they unattach that artifical "value" from them, then they can literally release them at any point to everyone, like say oh i dont know.....how about with the level cap raised to 110 updates? Or just release them anyways as nontradable versions and leave tradable versions as future fws rewards. Theres a million ways to release the inverted capes that can work, but only two way that would work as long as they have the jagex grind "value" attached to them.
Marlin are swordfish. I think the inverted caped should be obtainable in non-tradeable form post-120 as an rng drop like pets, but maybe after you have the pet. Also they should introduce the "you would have been followed" type of message like osrs has.
Costs will almost always go up when they get bought by another company/switch employers. Isnt this what happened when jagex was bought by the carlisle group?
First player seems to be enthusiastic about the game. I like seeing that sort of new enthusiasm. Everyone was new once upon a time. I dropped two premier memberships. Dropping a price hike right before group ironman just came across as scummy. Especially since they've made no commitment to reducing or removing MTX. Those accounts will have credit till April. When they run out, they run out. I need to decide if I will buy membership for that account since I have made a commitment to play with a team.
Swordfish are Marlins lol. EDIT: To clarify, yes the fish are actually different, but I am sure someone not as familiar with the game would see a swordfish and think it is a marlin. Blue marlin is prob most well known and swordfish in game are purple.
If they just gave rune metrics for free it would probably make the price increase less harsh. The Fact osrs has 100x the plugins for free that are 1000x better than rs3 rune metrics and we still have to pay for it. They dont even have to develop anything just enable what they already have. A giant slap in the face if you ask me/
The only reason OS has those plugins is the very basic and old-school style of the game and the third party people who code them. (Not to mention if they said no more runelite over 50% of people would quit) It would be nearly impossible to have a runelite for rs3. Take a look at Alt1 and what it provides, that's about the limit of "plugins" you can get for rs3.
@@drpepper1132 Yeah you kinda missed the point of my comment. I never said they had to add any plugins to rs3, just give what already exists in rune metrics for free. Ive used alt1 for years also. They do not need to code anything additional, just literally enable it for free, at least for premier. Something to offset the 25% price increase.
I got my inverted cape. It served me well, I have yet to grt the level to even have a master cape, but closing in. Hopefully the inverted Skillcape will be avalible by then. Im still disappointed the base inverted Mining cape was not the trim color but rather the defence cape color. Yet fixed on the Master cape. Ha.
remember people will pay £100 for a game complete it in a week i dont think the price is too bad seeing it takes a hell of alot of time to fully complete scape
Thought I heard someone say Jagex was worth billions or something. 22m ain't nothing. It sucks if Inverted capes do come back, I probably won't get any. Recently got Trim.
I've been paying with rsgp through bonds ever since that became an option, but if I ever decide to start paying with irl gp again I'm one of those lucky few as you are who still have the grandfathered $4.95/month. It's insane that people are going to be paying 4x as much as us.
I made a promise to myself i wouldn't give jagex any more of my money 16 months ago. I pay for premiere membership through in-game grinds and buy bonds.
What"effort" people put into getting the capes?? The exp was insanely boosted and there were tons of keys too. It was not hard to get the capes if you had the time. I started fsw very late and got 4 99s, 1 120, and nearly a second 120. Release the capes.....
All this membership controversy reminds me when i was a kid, having to explain to my mother why i needed membership for this game she knows as Run Escape, and that she had to call this company overseas and read off her debit card number. Was this just a US thing or did everyone in the early 2000's have to call Jagex hq to buy membership?
I get the whining that they’re all doing but people need to understand that they need to get more money in order to make more projects and content that people want in the game now and the upcoming future
This. This goes for any company. If my company can’t account for inflation and I end up taking a pay cut, then what’s the point of me working there. At the end of the day, I’m doing a job to get paid.
They havent added real new content since the Zamorak boss. Past year's Fort Forinthry quests were insultingly bad and everything else has been low-effort gamejam asset-recycles
If the money went to coders, modelers, and designers, then I would be more than happy to pay more. Will I be a member next year? Yes. But I don't want this turning into disney or tencent.
Personally I spend more on weed in one day than yearly membership. I'm fine with it; that being said I'm also broke af I shouldn't be doing either. If you can, why not help out and see if they improve rate of content drop over time. That being said the way they did it is what rubs me the wrong way. I'm waiting until after the price hike just to see if they add a significant amount of content or feedback on what they'll do to compensate(like the suggested removal of heavy MTX dependance) the hike. Heres to hope frens.
You’re so fun to watch and I thought you sounded like you were an inclusive clan leader so I’ve been listening in. I really wanted to join but it seems I’m just too noobish. Been out of game after raising my kids and other real life stuff and I’m back but so completely lost. If anyone knows of a similar clan leader with a sense of humor and inclusive with those who are completely clueless about the new RS, please let me know! I asked some questions and I feel like most of them were answered in a way that was sorta like making me feel even more stupid. Thanks.
While I don’t really care about the price increase I’m beyond glad that I took the chance while I financially could to buy about 4-5years of membership, got just under 2years left still. The membership part at about 8:00 does that even take into account all of the people using bonds only? Or the people who were still grandfathered in at lower prices?
i stopped playing a couple months ago. a lot of my rs3 buddies stopped playing even before. i never added them on disc so i have lost complete contact with them. very sad times
Considering they scrapped a FSW2 to get Necro out (rushed with not full 120 content) shows how much of a cash cow RS3 players is/was for Jagex. They were more concerned with pumping numbers for the company sale than getting content for players who pay for it via memberships. Look at Oldschool, new content and more game modes left right and center. Im not renewing my membership, im done being mugged by Jagex.
Membership per year cost went from $60 to $100 in 22 years. Give me a break.... I understand that's 40% higher.... But it's 22 years lol... 23 years actually...
I have a few bonds saved up as well. When my membership does run out whenever an actual good update comes out i can just use one and play. But i guarantee you 100% rs3 will not have 20k real players on next year. Do you realize how many people are playing 2-6 accounts. I bet the number is closer to 12-15k individual people over 20k real individual players. But jagex is gonna lose alot of people.
I stopped renewing my membership 3 months ago after getting a bit stale with the game. The price increase will keepo me from playing again any time soon I think. Maybe if theres a sale sometime down the road I might buy membership again around christmas, but i don't know if tI will any time soon.
I got the wood cutting pet at like 60k xp and there were people next ten me like WTF? Can I see it? I’m lik” bro I literally just stared playing after like 4 years AFK I don’t even know what’s going on lol how TF do even bring out my pet?”
When I first started playing in 2004, membership was $5. Now, 20 years later, people are freaking out because the price of the game has gone from $6.67 to $8.33. Inflation from 2004 to 2024 is 66.51%. If you take that $5 * 1.6651 = $8.3255, which rounds to...... $8.33. Yes, the 25% increase all at once seems like a big jump at once, and no you haven't gotten a 33% raise in 2 years, but the price increase is exactly in-line with inflation over the last 20 years. Oh, and you get two MMOs in the same subscription. I understand that for a subset of people, the $20/year difference is the difference between being able to play and not being able to play, but it's not a huge number of people.
Inverted should be the reward for 200m in a skill. And mods claiming inverted capes werent or will not be behind paywalls in the future. Are the same ones that think that inflation was 25%. Just lying like so manny times.
I'd be careful calling OSRS as growing. The botting in OSRS is WAY worse than RS3. I am 1 of the few who supports the price increase. Sadly that's part of being an openly traded company. If you aren't growing profits, then you will be cancelled. If I have to pay more to keep a game going that I love, and played for 20 years I will. I'd pay $50 a month if Halo 3 was still available, and made by Bungie. It's not about Jagex's profits, it's the shareholders.
Do you suppose players are going onto grocery store, insurance, cell phone, streaming reddits and complaining about the price increases? RuneScape players are such babies sometimes. Grow up. It's how the world works. Think it's too expensive? Stop paying for it. I've been getting price increase notices left and right from everywhere. It sucks but inflation sucks. *shrug*
Membership increases aren’t even that bad if people can’t pay an extra few dollars then legit skip buying 1 cup of coffee 1 time per month ffs this games player base are full of nothing but whiny brats nothing is ever enough and enough is never good like ffs wah wah wah
I think your failing to realize osrs doesnt pay for rs3 🤣. Its two entirely different games. Runescape is already at a point where only two worlds have over 1k players. All others are below 100. So im real curious where theyre getting the 20k from.
What do you mean OSRS doesn't pay for rs3? They are both owned and run by Jagex. All profits that both games make, go into the companies pockets. The membership prices of osrs and rs3 are directly linked together too. As for the player count, there are many more worlds than the 2 with 1k players. Also not everyone logs in at the exact same time of course.
Had to unsubscribe ain't no way this game is worth $100/yr. Like they gave us a roadmap sure but look how long it took!!? Still no avatar rework but w/e. Until they deliver on their promises i aint paying anymore.
If they gonna make it that you can link all accounts to one membership then sure. But for now. Hell no. Cant pay monthy but have to subscribe so these fucks can rake my money even when i dont play for a couple months. So no. Im out. And i think you would be surprised how manny more will. We aint kids anny more we have a life.... And that life isnt gaining money to spend ot on bullshit....
Inverted skillcapes should not be obtainable outside of fsw, yes I know, it was possible to buy the tokkens but guys, not everthing has to be available to everyone. If you want an inverted Cape, okay, but it would simply be unfair if you get one without taking part in fsw. Stop complaining,you had your chances to get one either by playing fsw or buying a tokken back then, no mather what reason it may be you could not get one, If you were not active in this time period, why should you have the possibility to get one now.
unsubbed , it was just so scummy to dangle that poll in front of us to hopefully expect change and they went ahead and raised the price anyway without any sign that things will improve . so now we are supposed to pay more for the game when you dont even get the full game for that high price. bank boosters and rune metrics pro for example. how many more parts of the game do we need to buy and still pay more then current other mmos like ff14. we need an overhaul on the whole pricing structure for the entire game. its such a shame all of this trouble comes after one of the best updates in a long time i love the new bosses its a shame i wont be playing them anymore
most of the people that have invert capes are rs3 players already. so people that didnt want to make another account cant have them? most of us already have 4 accounts. so most of us didnt want to make a fresh start account and play again.
Why are you standing by this bullshit membership increase….you are a creator that should use your platform to show how unhappy you are. They will never stop mtx after the membership increase. Will be quitting if it goes up again when wow has never changed the price since release.

I've only ever heard people call Swordfish as Marlin in South America. Mexico to be exact. But I'm sure it's more common in latin derived languages.

This. This goes for any company. If my company can’t account for inflation and I end up taking a pay cut, then what’s the point of me working there. At the end of the day, I’m doing a job to get paid.
They havent added real new content since the Zamorak boss.
Past year's Fort Forinthry quests were insultingly bad and everything else has been low-effort gamejam asset-recycles
You would have a point if they actually invested in the game instead of just paying shareholders and making endless mtx
The fish post is 100% troll 70 fishing wouldn’t even be sharks lol
Rs3 is an addiction some people can support their habit some can’t
I think i dismantled a golden egg of a fish at some point, to save bank space lol. Just didn't bother doing the research on it
If the money went to coders, modelers, and designers, then I would be more than happy to pay more. Will I be a member next year? Yes. But I don't want this turning into disney or tencent.
We want them to remove MTX but not change prices at the same time.. make it make sense. If we want game integrity we gunna have to pay a little more.
Personally I spend more on weed in one day than yearly membership. I'm fine with it; that being said I'm also broke af I shouldn't be doing either. If you can, why not help out and see if they improve rate of content drop over time. That being said the way they did it is what rubs me the wrong way. I'm waiting until after the price hike just to see if they add a significant amount of content or feedback on what they'll do to compensate(like the suggested removal of heavy MTX dependance) the hike. Heres to hope frens.
You’re so fun to watch and I thought you sounded like you were an inclusive clan leader so I’ve been listening in. I really wanted to join but it seems I’m just too noobish. Been out of game after raising my kids and other real life stuff and I’m back but so completely lost. If anyone knows of a similar clan leader with a sense of humor and inclusive with those who are completely clueless about the new RS, please let me know! I asked some questions and I feel like most of them were answered in a way that was sorta like making me feel even more stupid. Thanks.
cod are in the game but they're probably referring to swordfish as marlin
Where they getting the player charts from??
While I don’t really care about the price increase I’m beyond glad that I took the chance while I financially could to buy about 4-5years of membership, got just under 2years left still. The membership part at about 8:00 does that even take into account all of the people using bonds only? Or the people who were still grandfathered in at lower prices?
2:50 Spot on brother!
i stopped playing a couple months ago. a lot of my rs3 buddies stopped playing even before. i never added them on disc so i have lost complete contact with them. very sad times
If jagex lasts until 2040, we will be paying $200 a year for premier, possibly even more
cod is net fishing and marlins are sailfish
Considering they scrapped a FSW2 to get Necro out (rushed with not full 120 content) shows how much of a cash cow RS3 players is/was for Jagex. They were more concerned with pumping numbers for the company sale than getting content for players who pay for it via memberships.
Look at Oldschool, new content and more game modes left right and center.
Im not renewing my membership, im done being mugged by Jagex.
I got the inverted quest cape. I know of only 3 others that exist. I dont want more to exist
I think they are referring to sailfish instead of marlins they look similar.
Membership per year cost went from $60 to $100 in 22 years. Give me a break.... I understand that's 40% higher.... But it's 22 years lol... 23 years actually...
That’s 66% higher
if they're trying to remove treasure they'll ne to trial something i feel
Sailfish 🤣I play Pokemon Revolution and there is constantly people asking what "Gz" means
So it isn’t available to change the skillcape ?
I have a few bonds saved up as well. When my membership does run out whenever an actual good update comes out i can just use one and play. But i guarantee you 100% rs3 will not have 20k real players on next year. Do you realize how many people are playing 2-6 accounts. I bet the number is closer to 12-15k individual people over 20k real individual players. But jagex is gonna lose alot of people.
I stopped renewing my membership 3 months ago after getting a bit stale with the game. The price increase will keepo me from playing again any time soon I think. Maybe if theres a sale sometime down the road I might buy membership again around christmas, but i don't know if tI will any time soon.
I got the wood cutting pet at like 60k xp and there were people next ten me like WTF? Can I see it?
I’m lik” bro I literally just stared playing after like 4 years AFK I don’t even know what’s going on lol how TF do even bring out my pet?”
When I first started playing in 2004, membership was $5. Now, 20 years later, people are freaking out because the price of the game has gone from $6.67 to $8.33. Inflation from 2004 to 2024 is 66.51%. If you take that $5 * 1.6651 = $8.3255, which rounds to...... $8.33.
Yes, the 25% increase all at once seems like a big jump at once, and no you haven't gotten a 33% raise in 2 years, but the price increase is exactly in-line with inflation over the last 20 years. Oh, and you get two MMOs in the same subscription. I understand that for a subset of people, the $20/year difference is the difference between being able to play and not being able to play, but it's not a huge number of people.
I got a 45% pay increase in the last two years
@@pucie_boi You love to see it
Inverted should be the reward for 200m in a skill.
And mods claiming inverted capes werent or will not be behind paywalls in the future. Are the same ones that think that inflation was 25%. Just lying like so manny times.
I think the player meant sailfish when they said marlin
Meanwhile me buying vip with bonds for last three years
I just dont understand, RS3 leagues with inverted capes as the points rewards. It seems so fucking simple.
8:00 spot on
Make them 200m capes 🤷🏻♂️
Marlin? Most likely meant swordfish
I'd be careful calling OSRS as growing. The botting in OSRS is WAY worse than RS3.
I am 1 of the few who supports the price increase. Sadly that's part of being an openly traded company. If you aren't growing profits, then you will be cancelled. If I have to pay more to keep a game going that I love, and played for 20 years I will. I'd pay $50 a month if Halo 3 was still available, and made by Bungie. It's not about Jagex's profits, it's the shareholders.
tbh I have 99 con and have done nothing with my house in rs3 b/c I can't find a good guide how to set one up lol
I still pay 70 bucks for premier
Bro I didn’t know you could get Aquarium wtf 😂
I think he means sailfish….
Ive still got a bunch of invert skillcapes tokens lol and halo pet tokens
Do you suppose players are going onto grocery store, insurance, cell phone, streaming reddits and complaining about the price increases? RuneScape players are such babies sometimes. Grow up. It's how the world works. Think it's too expensive? Stop paying for it. I've been getting price increase notices left and right from everywhere. It sucks but inflation sucks. *shrug*
Dark mode reddit plz, I dont like getting blinded lol
No talk happening don’t mean it won’t happen lol
ngl i find the unsubbling stuff wierd when if you play enough i think few bucks is worth the x hours you spend o nthe game still a month
and cape should be differnt so my 120 thiev is known
I felt like inverted skills capes should be a reward that works if you have a 99 both in old school and rs3
Inverted skillcapes are never coming back.
Jagex lying to you.
Iniiit 😃
marlin = swordfish ....
They will definetly monetize those capes
Bring back free Vic the trader
Membership increases aren’t even that bad if people can’t pay an extra few dollars then legit skip buying 1 cup of coffee 1 time per month ffs this games player base are full of nothing but whiny brats nothing is ever enough and enough is never good like ffs wah wah wah
Marlins are another name for swordfish and cod also in the game you know nothing
I think your failing to realize osrs doesnt pay for rs3 🤣. Its two entirely different games. Runescape is already at a point where only two worlds have over 1k players. All others are below 100. So im real curious where theyre getting the 20k from.
What do you mean OSRS doesn't pay for rs3?
They are both owned and run by Jagex. All profits that both games make, go into the companies pockets.
The membership prices of osrs and rs3 are directly linked together too.
As for the player count, there are many more worlds than the 2 with 1k players. Also not everyone logs in at the exact same time of course.
Cod is in runescape
Had to unsubscribe ain't no way this game is worth $100/yr. Like they gave us a roadmap sure but look how long it took!!? Still no avatar rework but w/e. Until they deliver on their promises i aint paying anymore.
If they gonna make it that you can link all accounts to one membership then sure. But for now. Hell no. Cant pay monthy but have to subscribe so these fucks can rake my money even when i dont play for a couple months. So no. Im out. And i think you would be surprised how manny more will. We aint kids anny more we have a life.... And that life isnt gaining money to spend ot on bullshit....
Bro I’m actually annoyed that you just seem to speak a lot of nothing.
He does, bunch of Reddit crap and a whole load of blah blah blah
Inverted skillcapes should not be obtainable outside of fsw, yes I know, it was possible to buy the tokkens but guys, not everthing has to be available to everyone. If you want an inverted Cape, okay, but it would simply be unfair if you get one without taking part in fsw. Stop complaining,you had your chances to get one either by playing fsw or buying a tokken back then, no mather what reason it may be you could not get one, If you were not active in this time period, why should you have the possibility to get one now.
unsubbed , it was just so scummy to dangle that poll in front of us to hopefully expect change and they went ahead and raised the price anyway without any sign that things will improve . so now we are supposed to pay more for the game when you dont even get the full game for that high price. bank boosters and rune metrics pro for example. how many more parts of the game do we need to buy and still pay more then current other mmos like ff14. we need an overhaul on the whole pricing structure for the entire game. its such a shame all of this trouble comes after one of the best updates in a long time i love the new bosses its a shame i wont be playing them anymore
Reddit, just like Jagex, is too Woke. It's hard to consider even getting on there.
most of the people that have invert capes are rs3 players already. so people that didnt want to make another account cant have them? most of us already have 4 accounts. so most of us didnt want to make a fresh start account and play again.
Why are you standing by this bullshit membership increase….you are a creator that should use your platform to show how unhappy you are. They will never stop mtx after the membership increase. Will be quitting if it goes up again when wow has never changed the price since release.
