    I was about to start playing runescape classic before it got bought out. I played it as a kid and have friends that have stuck with it since they were kids. Friends told me to hold off because this new company is raising the subscription price. Seems like another golden parachute scheme for some scumbag ceo is underway…

      the last price raise was outrageous , if anyone pays for membership for rs3 the yearly jumped like 20$USD. and the bonds obviously have increased too.

          someone likened it cost as much as WOW, with less content.

          for monthly, 6 months, yearly. the original price before the jump was 12.99, 49.99, 79.99USD

          the new ones are 14.99, 69.99, 99.99USD member ships. they got greedy, and they pretty much change ownership a couple times, now a PE firm?

          BUT people sitll using in game gp to buy membership, but how long will it last. since ingame it cost 128million gp per bond. bond is currently 8.99/bond. i stopped because last year it massively jumped in gp price.
