      IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147    | I was thinking this over and I would be curious to see what you guys think... Do you think the New Ultra High-Detail Graphics for runescape will be available to F2p players? Personally I do think it will be Pay to Play only, why: -From what I have seen of the new grpahics they are as good, or even better than games such as WOW, LOTR online, and so on. This will be a HUGE attraction to pay for membership if it was members only. If you were f2p wouldnt you go to members for graphics like that? -It has to have cost them allot, both in designing the new graphics, and no doubt hosting it will cost a bit too. -they have allready said high detail and low detail will run alongside it as well, meaning it wouldnt really effect f2p if they had to stick to the old graphics. Yeah.... thoughts? --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Mickey Group: Emeritus Posts: 5305 Member No.: 48 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 282 | I would say no, because it will have no adverts on it. Therefore Jagex arn't advertising anything to f2p players. Also, it would've cost them that much they make it, they have a team who write them progrmas capeable of creating stuff like that. We'll have to wait and see though. I mean think about it, SwiftSwitch got banned for not showing adverts on f2p. And advert blocking is against the rules because it's paying for f2p. Them getting rid of that would bankrupt them. --------------------    | ||||

They will probably put it somewhere else. --------------------   | ||||

So i expect that it will be available for F2P. It's gonna be a pain taking Screenshots though. -------------------- Friend's Forver The Long Road Ahead - 91/99 Prayer   | ||||

People make their decsion on wether to become a member based off of the free game, therefore it would be a good move on Jagex's part. --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Kiwi011 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3052 Member No.: 40 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 21 | will prob be both. I mean their purpose is to get more p2p members. If they can get more ppl to start playing rs and not wow or games like that more will go to rs, which means more to p2p. --------------------  | ||||

Though, this sounds like a decent update in the making.... --------------------  ~~~`+`~~+~~`+`~~``Jordan on IRC`~~`+`~~+~~`+`~~~ ~~~~~~~~~First joined WG October 31st, 2005~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ex-Raid Leader~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||

Blizzard has over 5 years of graphical experience on Jagex. They are on a whole other level. Jagex is just starting to play with shading, cmon now. It's still a big step for Jagex, hope they do well. -------------------- | ||||

Yeah, but WoW is not a browser game. For something that you dn't download, those graphics are still pretty damn good. I don't play games because of graphics anyways, it's just a bonus  -------------------- | ||||
