World 1 now P2P

[Direxy]

its sad to see world 1 go. not that it really matters in the scheme of things, but it's more symbolic of what jagex is doing to this game: changing everything for no god damn reason

Jagex is lucky F2P players do play. Most of jagex' revenue is of advertisements nowadays, barely anything is via p2p subscription.

I don't think that's accurate..

Over the last few years, members have come to be a higher proportion of our player base. As such, we're changing several previously free-to-play worlds to members' worlds. Members should have the best possible experience, and we hope that this will allow members

Taken from the RS site ;p

Sucks for Cora Dyce but I cant see it affecting much else besides gambling

Hehe nope! It's better than ever. More bets, livelier community.

Never even noticed this, but however, free-to-play are lucky that they even manage to get some worlds, world 1 should always have been p2p, and w2 f2p...

I've seen a few worlds get switched from F2P to P2P recently.

Maybe soon enough RS will only be free to level 20 like WOW. >.>

Just go to world 3. There's no need for a thread like this...

It's RuneScape 2 General.. for RuneScape discussion. How is this unnecessary? :s

Tbh i feel that they want people to buy membership to use their 'precious' w1 again as they may miss it?

+ They have made a lot less worlds F2P

Information on this was posted on the RS homepage. They changed more f2p worlds into members, because members are the larger majority of players now.
