It's time we take action on our approach to microtransactions in RuneScape.

Huge W. As mentioned in the video, not every experiment will land with every player. But, finding what works and doesn’t work while working towards making RuneScape 3 more than an interactive slot machine is a great first step. Kudos to the CEO for taking on this challenge.

RuneScape is the greatest MMORPG to ever exist, truly. You guys are so incredible for this. 🫡

Wow this was very unexpected and in my opinion, a good thing. However, the damage might already be irreversible. How are you going to make players happy who have spent hundreds of dollars on cosmetics, BXP and other things? One really cannot exist without the other. I guess you could stop the influx of these P2W items and over time their supply with dwindle to nothing. Which could turn them into rare items. How will you make up the lost revenue from whales not dumping thousands into every MTX update? I think this is an opportunity to make RuneScape great again, but I also have no clue how these experiments will give you true, accurate data when everyone who was burned by these updates is long gone from the player base. Either way, I hope the community fights for these positive changes, because you’ll need to commit to them long term if you want people to come back. But also there’s still no way to prove your XP was gained through legitimate means 😭

Concise and transparent message. Love this new direction with experiments. I’ll definitely be logging back in during the summer to check on how things are going!
