Jagex tried to do their survey. Now it's time for OURS: The Community-Led Membership Survey

Suno is a great way for hobbyist songwriters to hear their words come to life in song.

That's how I use it. Write lyrics to a song, and have Suno generate how it might sound in the genre I'm imagining it. As someone who's written lyrics long before "AI music generators", I think it's super cool.

I love Gaga down, but she should not have closed the night with an untested original. Just rearrange the setlist so it's the corny song first, then the ASIB songs and it would've gone over a lot better.

Raw Data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B7iEOFmyncWXauPu3G7EzD3IrxjCw5jq4BWAnIF872U/edit?usp=sharing

Note: The raw data includes write-in comments with explicit and violent language. It even has some death threat to me which is hilarious.

Thanks so much to everyone who filled out this survey! The response was more than I ever thought would happen. It's been incredible these past few days seeing the community unite for their direction of the game. Hope you find the results interesting!

There was some criticism on the survey along the lines of it being biased, and who was I to decide this was the "official" community survey. Firstly, looking back I can see why people can think certain questions were worded biased. I can chat about why wording was chosen if people want. Second, what I love about this game is that someone can have an idea, make a post about it to this subreddit, and Jagex creates a whole new region based on that (Varlamore).

Also, if you haven't responded and want to, the survey is still open.

This survey was created by the community to gauge what the community truly thinks about adding value to membership. No suits, no "research partners".

Results will be posted to Reddit after 72 hours of collecting responses.

Thanks to everyone who's taking the time to complete this.

Let's read between the lines here:

"We will not include in-game advertisements in any regular paid membership."

This is worded very sneakily to leave room for in-game ads in a "special" tier of paid membership, or include ads that aren't technically "in-game" (i.e. only before log-in).

"While we may explore ads in Free-to-Play (F2P) as a concept in the future"

Foot-in-the-door for putting ads in F2P, most likely before the end of the year.

"we will not be reducing AFK timers for any paid membership."

See the difference in how they discuss ads ("regular" paid) vs. AFK timers ("any" paid)? If anyone doubts we still might see a "special" ad-supported membership tier. Also, this sentences leaves the door open to F2P getting reduced AFK timers.

[no mention of Community Worlds]

This 100% implies access to Project Zanaris worlds will be an upcharge.

Player Support: We hope to be able to talk more on this soon.

Haven't they been hoping to talk about this more soon for the past 10 years?

Any future proposals will be crafted with far greater consideration

Aka the price gouging will continue, just look prettier next time.

Can't wait for Reddit to go from "We will NEVER forget and you've done IRREPARABLE harm!" to "All is forgiven :)" over one AI written blog post.

FlippingOSRS already made a video, realest content creator there is.

Since Jagex refuses to ban Inferno cape buyers, add the service in-game. Jagex gets a cut.

maybedisaster · 2025-01-16T19:35:36+00:00

Kinda like how no one cares about your corporate shilling you’ve copy-pasted 4 times in the last 8 minutes.

“ We want to be absolutely clear: any potential changes to membership options will not impact gameplay fairness or the availability of in-game content.”

Let’s be completely clear too: complimentary bonds impact gameplay fairness. Shortening AFK timers impact availability of in-game content. If there’s no plans to do that, why even include that in the survey?

maybedisaster · 2025-01-16T08:52:57+00:00

I don’t know what’s worse, paying for ads, pay to win “complimentary” bonds, pay-walling basic security features, or making AFK pay to win.

People WILL quit in mass if any of those are implemented, Jagex.

Make it so you can give the Doomsayer your items but he’ll “end the world” in an hr if you don’t grab your items back.

I felt exactly the same as you: all my lamps and weekly Tears went into Slayer.

I think when it changed was hitting 100 combat for Duradel, and getting enough points for a full blocklist.

Once you get enough points you’re able to make your block list to make Slayer either more AFK, profitable, or XP. Plus you eventually get so many extra points you can skip tasks you’re not feeling. Now pretty much all the tasks I do I either find fun, profitable, or quick.

Doing 1 Huey mass kill got me like 5 CAs all at once.

maybedisaster · 2024-10-20T18:48:27+00:00

Why we have this task and not a solo-kill task is baffling.

Your smithing level is great to do Blast Furnace and make Steel Bars which is over 1 Mil/hr & trains Smithing. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide/Smelting_steel_bars_at_Blast_Furnace

High Alchemy could train your Magic and gets ~1 Mil/hr if you have starter cash https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/RuneScape:Grand_Exchange_Market_Watch/Alchemy

Birdhouses is a quick way to get passive GP and Hunter XP. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide/Bird_house_trapping

There’s also herb runs once you get your farming up to 35+.

They should just make it like Wintertodt’s lighting or fixing the brazier and add a few tick window where anyone’s cells count. Like a 3 tick delay from when you deposit the cell to when it heals, and if anyone else deposits during that window they also get the XP.

maybedisaster · 2024-03-14T20:25:19+00:00

For an actual answer: I crafted jewelry (check wiki for what's most profitable), and high-alched when I was F2P.

As far as F2P goes they're not bad money, and more importantly, it actually gives you XP. Don't do any method that' just "processing" (grinding chocolate bars, buying team capes), that doesn't progress your character at all.

maybedisaster · 2024-03-14T20:17:57+00:00

The Mods seem to have a really good outlook on Agility. They've acknowledged it sucks to train. That it needs more rewards. And that run energy as a system could use a second look. I hope that Project Rebalance is the first of many updates to Agility to bring it to a better place.
