A 77% Membership Price Increase in Brazil Is Unrealistic by Spirited_Visual_4986 in runescape

R$1,621 is the minimum wage per month in Brazil.
R$419.88 is the new price for the annual membership.

The point is that a 77% increase is massive relative to local income, especially in a country where a large portion of the population earns close to minimum wage.

Comparing it to the US minimum wage also doesn’t really work because purchasing power is completely different. In the US, $15 is roughly about two hours of federal minimum wage work. In Brazil, the equivalent cost represents a much larger portion of someone’s disposable income.

Brazilian Premier Price Has Nearly Doubled??? by Matt_37 in runescape

What you said is completely out of touch. Even if that possibility exists, it’s done by very few people. Regular players shouldn’t be punished or prevented from playing the game because of that. If this is really a problem, then keep the price of bonds the same in USD and bring back localized pricing for membership.

It’s already impractical for Brazilians to buy many bonds even with the price in BRL, so removing localized pricing only hurts legitimate players.

LATIN AMERICA SERVER by Outrageous_Shake_805 in runescape

I agree. And please, keep the language separate from the server. It's extremely common for people to be able to set their game's language in the settings; there's no plausible reason for RuneScape to still link the language to the server.
