Do u reckon the next level should be for non members?

Jagex would never do that because they make almost every update just for members because it makes f2p people jealous of all of the new items and quests.
If they made the some of the member skills for f2p there would be too many members going back to regular f2p.
That's why most people (including me) are member because they like all of the beneifits.

Kind of agree with you that members shpould have ALOT more stuff than f2p... but still i would say that it would make more ppl start runescape again and maybe in that sense bring more members if f2p got a COOL new skill or something like that... not something boring like woodcutting or something like that... i would say something thats good money but costs alot... kind of like construction but not that big

i kind of agree with that. Something to keep the f2p's interested but nothing big. but the p2p's do pay for what they get. If the f2p's cant pay there are more then one method of pay they can just work with their parents on it.

The world runs on money.

If you don't fund Jagexs' development of new skills, they won't release anything. You could argue that ad money helps, but I'm not sure how much they make.

$10,000 for every full server...thats alot of money

Even though I'm currently p2p, I think that f2p should get something new sometimes. Say once every 6 months or so give them a little quest (something along the lines of A Soul's Bane or Rag and Bone Man). Just enough to keep them interested if they want to stay interested in the game but can't go p2p for some reason.

There is around 750,000 members and they make at least 5$ per person..
per year: 3.75 million a year..
That is a lot of money for an RPG.

I say that jagex should remove f2p from runescape.

I would have to disagree with this. Demos for any game are what get alot of people hooked to go out and pay money for them. Lets use Final Fantasy games, (especially the new ones) there is actually a short demo of the next game in the works. Its what helps get their fans looking forward to yet another game. Demos are just good business. People are more willing to give you money if they know what to expect of the full version.

But I do agree with the people just wanting to see a small occasional, if not rare, update to the f2p worlds. It's almost like trying to bait a fish, if you don't have enough worm on the hook, no fish in their right mind will bite. And even with small updates to f2p, members will always be getting more on a regular basis. So there would never be an issue of keeping members interested in forking out their money. And that what membership is, an elite group of people who receive special treatment because they pay for it.

They way the f2p game is heading I wouldn't be suprised if jagex removed things, let alone add things. Sorry to say it but the auto problem is almost as bad as rsc now.

I was thinking the same thing the other day aswell if the autoers keep it up they are going to remove the yews and rune ess from the free world completely. And that would be a huge loss for the f2p players

and jagex said this in thier newest update aswell. It isnt much but hey we get some armor that (hopefully) is going to look pretty cool

Finally, we have a brand new FREE TO PLAY release this month. After years of giving security advice to players via our website and our customer relation teams, we have decided to build it into the game via a rather funky training area. Players are invited to hack and slash their way through 4 floors of beasts, all the while answering questions to some pushy doors. Various treasures wait on the different floors, with the top floor giving free players a new piece of armour... and it looks pretty good too! Hopefully you’ll learn a few tips on how to keep your account secure on the way too.

Good point! Well then I think that they should limit the time of the f2p accouunt then (aka 15 days or 75 houres)
