SRL Archive - RuneScape News and General

Went to move an old account and got a commercial when logging in..


Never saw that before, but it almost made me laugh.

Is this a new thing or has this been around?

I have never experienced this so it must be new?
Lol omg jagex are so lame

Yeah it is fairly new, same thing happened to me last week. I bet they are slowly implementing ads in for members. haha

I haven't had a f2p character in a very long time so I have no idea what advertisements they use now. I'm sure they're pretty awful, though.

This is so sad. Makes me happy I'm done with RS, this just shows the deteriorating condition of it.

geez they'll do anything to make a buck now a days?? wow..

The day I get an ad on membership is the day I file a lawsuit. One of the things I buy with membership is the right to not have advertisements.

I've only seen it for F2P characters :p and it's very annoying!

Oww wtf is this?
It makes me feel that RS is becoming a 100% comercial game :/

That's the feel of reality son.

I thought the current CEO said he removed them because they were too annoying =/

MMG removing something that gives profit? Doubt it.

A good example of this is that a lot of free players told us they found our video adverts before the game annoying to the point it was putting them off playing, so we've scrapped them with immediate effect. We now appreciate that it can be frustrating having to sit through a video advert when you just want to play RuneScape, so we have to put our hands up to admit we made a mistake and say that we're sorry. To be completely candid with you, video adverts generate significantly more revenue than other adverts, but as one of our fundamental philosophies is that having fun is more important to us than making as much money as possible, we have removed video adverts from the game.

Sad. They really need money…. Maybe make the game better and not worse so more people would pay membership.

I'm shocked. That's the first time I've seen him put the game before profit.

been there for ages

Markus that was a long while back, before sale of jagex.

Seriously, he will be the death of RS.
