I used to play runescape a lot around 2005-2010. It was pretty much my life. My parents would never let me buy membership, so I would always put $10 in a envelope and mail Jagex headquarters at night and they would give me membership. Funny story. Anyways, wouldn't it be great if Jagex accepted bitcoin? It seems like it would be a great payment option for them. Simply send bitcoins to an address, and get membership status on your account. They could use bitpay or whatever so they don't have to hold BTC.

Is there anyway I can get this going? Anyway to get a petition or something (I want to avoid those petition.org things because they seem very ineffective). Anyway of talking directly to Jagex's payment department?

07 Scape or GTFO. They ruined Runescape with their stupid Evolution of Combat(in which you still can't move by using WASD or arrow keys)....

The only reason I didn't go back to it was they screwed me over. I have like 12 skills to 99 and most are in high 80s. They really lost customers doing that stupid evolution of combat, only to re-release 07scape(to make you grind all over again in the game version most people want to play).

I suggest no one give Jagex anything, but that is imo ofc.

Legacy combat mode was just realeased yesterday. They basically put the old combat system back in place you can try it out if you want.
Did that put that into 07 or RS3?

I play RS3 only because it was the first RS I saw and decided to play, I'd go and play 07, since a lot of people say it's pretty good, but then I'd pretty much have to re-level as well as buy a membership. Plainest reasons why I don't play 07.

I've heard good things about the old combat system, so can anyone elaborate on it? What new features did they add?

And since we're kind of getting off topic, here's a little question to spark some other ideas, How would you feel about game publishers accepting bitcoin?

They put the Legacy combat system into RS3 yesterday just go in the settings and check the legacy combat box. They made the combat mode/interface what it was before the EOC combat expansion and they did some other things to and changed some things to what they were like before EOC.

Whoaaa are you actually saying they put in the legacy combat system back into RS3??? That is amazing if that is what you are saying.... PLEASE BE TRUE!!! lol

Yes that's what they did yesterday they added Legacy combat as an option in RS3 just check the box.

How does legacy combat and RS3 combat work together? They seem like completely different combat systems to me.


I just pked so far in Legacy so I'm not sure how they work together. But there are some Legacy only Pk worlds. In general I think you can choose which mode you wana use EOC/Legacy while playing in normal worlds I'm assuming the balance but not sure.

I see kids slaving away at faucets to pay for their membership  Cheesy
I would find this very unlikely, as kids are very resourceful today and could probably acquire bitcoin if they were to pay for a service like this.
If I had to choose between BTC or USD/CAN, I'd choose BTC. It has the potential to increase in value, UNLIKE the USD, and so I could get more bang for my buck using BTC. This would also benefit Jagex, as it could increase their balance sheets.

Well I wouldn't expect Jagex to keep the BTC. I mean, they can keep some if they want (doesn't overstock do this?) but convert it to USD immediately using bitpay or something. It would just be a lot more convenient for users.

If by resourceful you mean they can do stuff with just a credit card, yeah you're pretty much right.

If I had to choose between BTC or USD/CAN, I'd choose BTC. It has the potential to increase in value, UNLIKE the USD, and so I could get more bang for my buck using BTC. This would also benefit Jagex, as it could increase their balance sheets.

So I think Jagex accepting BTC would be a great way to have them earn some BTC.

Now something interesting that just passed through my mind was the thought that since Denmark had declared Bitcoin as "not real money" and it won't be taxed, is that if companies that started accepting BTC set up an office in Denmark that death with the BTC, it would cause less headache and they would only have to report it as normal income (post-exchange) in the US, making taxes easier.

I probably missed dozens of laws preventing this, but it's just a hypothetical question.

Well put it this way their wouldn't be young anymore or if they waited for the faucet to pay for membership that would take years and years to get the amount to equal the membership fee.

Yeah, that's stupid lol. But people are desperate. I know I was (but I had better ways of doing it Tongue)

This would actually be hilarious and it probably would happen. Knowing how people are, sometimes it's priceless watching them.

Now that being said, Jagex would be making MASSIVE amounts of cash off of that, especially with the scenario you've presented. Some people don't even consider bitcoin as "real money" so some wouldn't even have trouble paying Jagex whatever amount it would be.

Since I'm a RuneScape player, every here and there, and I have signature campaigns to back me up, I could possibly buy memberships, if I felt so inclined as to do that.

I probably won't get a membership until I max some of my F2P skills, then I'll consider it.

I've even met a person who had joined that day and had purchased a membership - he had no idea what he was doing.

I agree with this. It's such a good opportunity for them and it makes it easy for us. And yeah, I've met those kinds of people. I guess it does help a little but there's really no reason for it. I would wait until you've cleared most F2P skills and quests and areas before moving onto membership stuff.

You could try emailing them and see what they say or using the support. I can't imagine you would get a reply but you can certainly try.
