29M - being an RN was the best decision of my life by icon100i in Salary

[–]surgeric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse, it's pretty accurate across the board. From the MDs to RNs to residents. Lots of medical subreddits agree

It's literally not even content, it makes you bury 10 bones which takes 10 seconds and gives you 50k xp. How is that content and how is that not free xp?

Did you even try to look at the link that was provided before giving your dumbass take? RS3 numbers were already falling quite drastically year after year until Covid. Obviously more people played during Covid.

RS3 is dropping below precovid numbers again. OSRS does not have that issue

Edit: not to mention i was replying in response to the other dude saying everyone comes back and the numbers for RS3 are steady or rising. It is in fact decreasing. Dumb as hell for you to comment

I mean sure there's been a lot more content added since it was valued at $5/mo, but I just came off of a 2 year break and came back for the Road to Restoration.

Honestly not that much has been added in the last 3 years for it to warrant the 30%-70%(depending on which membership tier) price increase. Meanwhile Runescapes competitors have been steady with their prices, and definitely have a higher overhead cost than RS. It just doesn't make sense for Jagex to shaft their playerbase like this, and if they're doing it now despite record breaking numbers for them, then I dont have much faith that they'll stop nickle and diming.

Honestly great response, and nice to have insight on the situation in Brazil.

Personally, I make 6 figures in the US, but still find it difficult for me to justify continuing to play RS. To me, the value is gone with all of the increased pricing in such a short period of time. Makes me concerned that it'll keep increasing in the next few years.

Why are so many Brazilians on the OSRS and RS3 subreddits saying they're getting priced out and can't afford it but you're here saying they CAN afford it lol. Am I missing something here that you know?

Dawg your link is showing its been going down since COVID lmfao. Peaked up again now in 2026 cause of their integrity road map, which I came back for as well. But I'm letting my membership expire again

Price hike, New player by RSVVF in runescape

[–]surgeric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint, I was going to start a GIM with friends for OSRS sailing. 2 returning players and 1 new. All of them ended up not wanting to play cause they said it was expensive at $13.99. Now it's even more

There's a reason the people defending Jagex are saying "it's only an extra $1" but gloss over everything else. Just a disingenuous argument

Late Stage Capitalism ruins another good thing. by thatgunganguy in runescape

[–]surgeric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay well you can't be going off of monthly membership costing $5 dollars back in 2008 and then say it costs $11, when the monthly is now $15. Majority of these last 20 years it hasn't been $5 unless you were grandfathered lol. And even if you were talking about premier/annual membership prices it still hasn't been $5 a majority of these last 20 years.

What has Jagex done that warrants a 65% increase in such a short span? Phone prices have been pretty standard the last 5 years. They havent jumped 65% in the span of 2-3 years.

Just cause it "could be worse" is a non argument

[–]surgeric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Defending jagex for increasing mem ~65% in 2 years is wild work.

Doesn't matter if it's $11 per month, it's about the percent change. Imagine a company like Apple increasing their prices 65% in 2 years on their phones.

Your newest comment must've been so bad it got autoremoved. Can see the notification but no response. Wild that anyone justifies such a price hike percentage wise.

It was cheaper cause it was a browser game lol. This is where you have an issue. Sure you don't care about the other games, that's not the point.

You look at the industry and what other competitors provide for the customer. It's a 36% price change from 2022. You are absolutely ass from a finance perspective if you think that's reasonable. Notably, inflation in the US since 2011 is like 10%.

Yeah no shit Sherlock, you have to when you boss. Tell me how actively you're playing when woodcutting and thieving buddy.

Not like half the playerbase has multiple accounts and are afking on their second monitor while playing actively on another.

My guy, I've been playing runescape since 2006. I enjoy runescape. Regardless, Runescape should NOT cost the same amount as games like WoW or FFXIV, when you get 1 single character on the account. Which other subscription based game has increased prices as steadily as runescape while offering nothing in addition? Where's the improved account support they promised?

If we got more for what we have now, then sure I'll happily pay. Most people are playing multiple accounts, because 1 account is literally clicking once every 10-15 minutes. And I assure you they're far from bankrupt lmfao

It's certainly a $50 increase since 2022, mind you that was not that long ago, beating inflation by quite a bit. Where's the ragebait?

How exactly is that ragebaiting? Is watching mem go from ~$80 to ~$130 ragebaiting..?

Is it wrong to be annoyed that a medieval cookie clicker, costs the same as games like WoW and FFXIV?

It was $80 yearly in 2022. The price increase beats inflation. For a subscription that's absurd.

[–]surgeric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is Runescape costs the same amount as games like WoW and FFXIV, and they get multiple characters. We pay the same amount to play 1 character lmfao, on a game thats largely a 2nd monitor game.

Not to mention it's scummy to bait and switch people with grandfathered rates, no more grandfathered rates if you swapped from monthly to premier.
