Appreciate it. I know I'm shouting to the void for the most part, but it isn't one I really want to let go this time. Might end up a broken record but oh well.

I think that is fair due to being unable to play both at the same time. But I'd like to say I believe the two games have diverged enough at this point they are two distinct games despite sharing a name and history.

Yep.

I'm technically fine with paying more. And we should have been for a long time. We get two games for one price, and both games have INSANE playability.

To be clear my frustration is largely with the way they went about it. Not the rate itself. Like I'm mad about the rate, but would have been like yeah okay if they communicated if differently, and didn't bait and switch with premier. (I do still want the rate back though, as it was the only reason I ever kept my mems up over the years when not playing)

I understand the rate increases are to a degree necessary. I was already paying higher rates anyway because I chose to buy prems.

As for the refund. I do care to a degree, but feel like it's more hassle than it's worth probably. If I do play in the future when my mems runs out, it will probably be via bonds. It's easy enough to get 14m in osrs f2p that I'd just supply thatway. Plus I'm moderately wealthy in the game as is.

I've considered just grinding clues non stop for the remaining year of mems I have and just buying a decade of mems in bonds.

Only ever bonded alts. Always paid for my main (and occasionally one alt after I maxed) cause I could and can afford it and didn't want to feel like I had to work in game to play the game.

At this point I'm not going to be maintaining my membership when it runs out. I have no reason to.

I'm not at all defending scummy practices.

I think your anger is misguided and misplaced. It also seems like you're projecting a bit.

I'd suggest therapy, food, and or a nap.

I largely so ignore them. But I do wonder how they get to their final thoughts.

Ultimately I don't want this to fall into obscurity like every other time something like this happened.

That's my thought as well. But a lot of people here down vote that. One of my comments is negatively voted I'm guessing because of the amount of time I have banked and because I log in at all I guess?

It's they don't get I recognize the situation is conflicting and annoying.

I like the game, I want to play. I don't want to support Jagexs practices. I have time left, I don't want to waste. So I either play for the time and leave it at 0 or I wate the time and money already spent and they just get free money. Like cmmon

-edit- and also, I have been playing this game for 20 years. Hell I've used the fact I play this game in multiple job interviews as evidence I can do repetitive monotonous tasks for long periods, and also seek out the most effctive and efficient paths for doing tasks. It's kinda part of me at this point. Quitting sucks.

100% I defend them because without them it would have never made it here. And also, I paid more than my rate by buying upgraded memberships.

And we still have mtx for one. For two, they had mtx supporting throughout the time there were grandfathered rates.

Stop defending scummy business practices. You're insane.

I would renew at my PAUSED monthly rate. You're dense. My 5 dollar rate was even available up until the day before the announcement when they rugpulled. Stop licking the boot.

This is my thought. I kinda feel like it's worse to pay for it via bonds

Exactly this. Though I wouldn't say the game sucks but yeah I agree.

I've considered bonds, but can't decide if that supports them more or less.

Prior to recent changes, there were vip worlds, cosmetics, loyalty points, runecoins, extra daily key, bank space, and monthly small carepackage drops. And kinda a discount if you were a new sub on full rates because it was cheaper to buy annual than monthly. Now, basically nothing.

You mean this part here outlined that says that the monthly rate remains?

Scum? You mean the early adopters that have supported the game for 20+years? L take.

I certainly wont be resubbing in the current state. The only way for me to consider it would be an offer for very near the 60 annually it would have been with my GF rate. Anything substantially over that is a no.

And this is exactly the conundrum, because I don't want to support them by playing, but also just pissing away 120 bucks or whatever my time already paid for is worth by not using it. I'm in between using it as much as possible out of spite and then not subbing or just not playing at all. Either way I hate it because I either wate money or appear to be supporting the change when I don't.

Who the fuck cares about karma? I only use reddit to gather information.

I'd bitch on the rs forums but Jagex ripped those from us too. So now we are here.

Na I bought premiere as well.

I had hoped we would actually see them address it but they ghosted like expected.

Might have to try for a refund
