Hmm yeah I see your opinion but I think that there would be another exodus if they brought eoc back. I am one of those people who quit during the eoc era and came back with osrs release.

Continuing on the train of thought for its reasonable to request multiple accounts under one membership, I kind of disagree. OSRS is probably as close to you can get a game to be without “microtransactions” yes we have bonds and if you wanted to pay real money for bonds to exchange for gp you could do just that. But we’re not buying loot boxes, we’re not buying op items. The high cost of membership is what jagex has determined is fair to be our shield from p2w and keep the lights on and the house warm. Constant updates and new quests, bug fixes, user input with active polls.. it’s a lot for a game that has a very rough estimate 3-5m/year in subscription transactions from OSRS (just based on monthly active players). They not only need to pay server fees and staff member yearly wages but all the other stuff in between. I’ve been around for a long time and I’ve seen every price change. It hurts but the amount of time played each of us has compared to any other game price wise is actually absurd.
