Jagex is growing. o.0

I'm surprised they didn't do this for the Americans as they are the most people playing, stupid price though if you ask me but i guess it's no more than we'd pay using our mobile phones.

5/5. Canada ftw!

Thats too expensive, it's normally $7.30 a month if you pay with credit card.

If you don't have a credit card, your parents dont want you to use theirs, and you don't trust the mailing service to deliver your money, what do you do? You get a free month of membership by phone and then get grounded for lyph for subscribing by phone without telling ur parents

At least you get 1 month of membership :oops:

I just used the currency calculator:
11.00 CAD = 9.61300 USD

Yea. That is too much. Even using mail is cheaper.

If you don't trust the mail, you go to post office and get a 'money order', only the person it's payable to can cash it, then you can mail that. Even doing that is still cheaper than paying by phone, and your parents will never find out about it.

Bit too expensive but frankly I don't care since I live in the U.S.

King Kulla · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2006, 10:57 pm

YAY!!!! CANADIANS FTW!!!!

I'm still f2p for lyfe though

Yea, that's a bit pricey...i mean, just lower that to $10 even, would be much simpler.

Charging on phones here used to cost us £6 but then it got dropped down to £5, perhaps the price there will drop eventuly.
