OldSchool Runescape Free To Play Trial
OldSchool Runescape Free To Play Trial
14 replies So I think that everyone here remember the old days where everyone used to talk about really popular game called RuneScape. But years later JaGeX has ruined it, and the game became complete shit. A year ago they've re-launched the old 2007 version of the game which everyone wanted back. Although it is back, it is still pay-to-play only. For almost 9 months community was begging them to add F2P, so finally they've listened. In the May 27th they will launch several F2P worlds. However it will only last for two weeks and only new accounts can access it for free. So if you will register after or on the May 27th, you will gain a free access to the F2P worlds. Read more at by clicking here.
So will you try it? I am really excited about it as the game can become much more popular like back in the day. @
Yates: A "No, it's a horrible game that I'll never play" would have done better. Why'd you comment if you have nothing to say anything
?
I won't play it either. Anything apart quick cs2d or LoL match is a no-no for me. @
Rainoth Because LoL matches are quick..
neither cs2d matches are but come on, LoL matches can take up to an average of 20-25 minutes. I once tried LoL i didn't know what to do, LoL's community is retarded, I asked for help and all they did was swearing and voting to kick me, not to mention that if you leave or go idle before the match ends you get banned for some time.
I guess it's not my type.. really interesting,thanks for informing us
@Ahmad
ye the LoL's community is retarted,but also funny
just read some guides,LoL can be hard,but it's very funny @
Ahmad: If you're good enough, you can carry your team (meaning that you can win the game alone with little help from teammates). Find me a game with 0 people willing to swear. You won't. That's how people are. I do agree that there's an exceptionally high amount of them in LoL communities. Anyways, this isn't about LoL but that it is quick enough to play for short spans.
@
Random guy: Yes, it does take from 15 to 45 minutes on average, sometimes going up to about 80 minutes. Well, rarely. Anyways, 20-25 minutes is fast for me. Compare it with MMOs where you need to spend weeks, grinding mobs to actually level up to do something. Now THAT'S a long time for me
@
Infinite Rain: So basically, a RS with all member features for F2P people and for 2 weeks ? Or maybe you meant that it's old RS version for 2 weeks that'll work for F2P people too..? @
Rainoth:
OldSchool RuneScape is only pay-to-play. Because if they were to add F2P worlds then it will crash prices of certain resources because of bots gathering them. It wasn't big of a deal because botters (botting is disallowed btw) had to pay for membership in order use it. Now that the game will become free, they will not have to pay for anything at all so they aren't risking real money. That's why it's pay to play only.
Now that community really wanted them to add free to play worlds, they need to test some things.
1. Will it increase player rates?
2. Will botting be a big of an issue?
So that's the reason of them adding only 2 weeks trial. If it will go alright, then they will add permanent free worlds.
By F2P worlds I basically meant the free version of RuneScape 2007 in which you couldn't train certain skills and half of the map is closed. I gonna try it now
already played it some years ago.. it was nice..
whats your username, or something, where we could contact? @
Marcell:
My username is "Rain of Life".
And you can't try it now because trial hasn't started yet.
On the May 27th you will need to register on that page: http://oldschool.runescape.com. On the May 27th or later, but NOT before because only new users will be able to use it. LoL is really horrible - i honestly don't know whats worse LoL or Dota 2 (Both have idiotic children that scream at you for no god damn reason - even if you are winning) - I got kicked for helping the team win (apparently they wanted the enemy team to win - because it helps them build up something or unlock something... still not sure.) LOL - League of Losers.
Explains everything. I have to say - the old runescape is awesome - so much nostalgia instead of the new age cr**. It looks like Jagex finally understood that the community wants the older version instead. Funny - i did a little research on both the new 2014 runescape and the old version they released - the old one has a lot more players. Lets not get off-topic
If you want to discuss
League Of Legends., you can do it there.
I'm a bit sad that you don't appreciate the game but I guess everyone has their tastes. @
Night Till Death:
That's not exactly correct.
Old version has approximately 240k active players. While RS3 (current RS version) has almost 400k active players. But that is true that old version brought like 60% of players that have left back.
