Permanent F2P & Membership Bonds mod_ronan January 29 2015 The permanent F2P & Membership Bonds poll is currently underway with over 25,000 votes so far. As of writing this newspost the update is passing by 85%. If you have not yet voted, be sure to head over to the poll home or an in-game poll booth and vote. At the moment it seems that permanent F2P & Membership Bonds will be passing when the poll closes on Wednesday 4th February. If F2P & Membership Bonds pass then we will be releasing permanent F2P on Old School's 2nd birthday, Thursday 19th February. Membership Bonds would come slightly later than F2P. We will be looking to release them at some point after Sunday 1st March. Providing it passes, we will need some time to implement tweaks to the game to prevent gold farmers being an issue. We wanted to get this information out there as soon as possible so those of you who are excited for F2P will not be expecting it to be released immediately following the poll. Come next Wednesday we will confirm what we have planned after the outcome of the poll is finalised. Mods Archie, Ash, Ghost, Ian, John C, Mat K, Reach, Ronan, Weath The Old School Team

Yea lucky, The 4 of us slayed an SB kid for sgs

Ignore lists, 1v1s & More mod_ronan January 29 2015 Ignore lists, 1v1s & More This week we have a bunch of quality of life updates from content poll #29. Trouble Brewing 1v1s, hiding messages from ignored players and more. Hide Messages From Ignored Players When adding players to your ignore list their recently sent messages will now be hidden. This change applies to the following: • Private messages • Chat-channel messages and Clan Wars challenges • Trade requests and Duel challenges • Autochat • Public chat This should make it a bit easier to get back to 'Scaping as usual following an unfortunate encounter. 1v1 Trouble Brewing In order to make it a touch easier to get into a game of Trouble Brewing we have changed the minigame to only require 1 player on each crew. The next time you and fancy a quick game of Trouble Brewing you'll be able to get started in no time. Whether that is you or and a friend or you and someone that trash talked you in the wilderness, you'll be able to have a Trouble Brewing throw-down faster than ever before. Culinaromancer Gloves Renamed The Culinaromancer's gloves accessible after Recipe for Disaster have now been renamed to make them a little easier to identify. While the names of these gloves have never been anything other than 'Gloves', regardless of which type, the community have named them based on their similarities to different armour sets and the we have renamed them to reflect this. Gloves Name Hardleather gloves Bronze gloves Iron gloves Steel gloves Black gloves Mithril gloves Adamant gloves Rune gloves Dragon gloves Barrows gloves Banknote Exchange Merchants A few new NPCs called banknote exchange merchants have popped up around Old School. These NPCs will exchange banknotes for the items they represent for 5gp per item. They can be found in the following locations: • Rimmington - In the general store • Bandit camp - In the general store • Karamja - In Jiminua's store • Pollnivneach - By the market seller You can un-note items by using your noted items on the banknote exchange merchants or by talking to them and going through the dialogue. In other news... • Slayer masters now have a right-click option, Assignment, that allows you to quickly check progress on your current task or start a new one. • Saplings are now tradeable. • Entering and leaving Sophanem is now significantly faster. • The spelling of 'Lathas' in an elite clue challenge has now been fixed. • The item "drag dagger" has been renamed "dragon dagger". • The serpentine helm can now envenom NPCs that use only firebreath attacks. Discuss this update on the forums. A poll deciding the future of permanent F2P and membership bonds for Old School is currently open. Head over to the poll home and vote. This is one of the most important Old School polls ever, make sure you have your say. Work is continuing on Achievement Diaries and the Grand Exchange with both updates planned for release in the next few weeks. The next several weeks are going to be big ones for Old School, keep an eye out for some big updates! Mods Archie, Ash, Ghost, Ian, John C, Mat K, Reach, Ronan, Weath The Old School Team

IT WAS A FEAST. Against all odds we make our come back as always

Permanent F2P Discussion mod_ronan January 25 2015 Earlier today we did a livestream where we discussed the long term role of F2P in Old School Runescape. You can watch this stream below. The goal of every online game is to ensure the game stays healthy for as long as possible. This includes making it financially stable so we are able to grow the team and deliver more and bigger updates for you. It also includes keeping the active players stable so the community continues to be diverse and busy allowing for better PvP, more competitive trading and always being able to play group minigames when you want. Since May last year we have been running F2P trials with the intention of creating a F2P service that is best for the long term health of Old School. The end result of these trials is that if we introduce Membership Bonds we can introduce a full and permanent F2P service. Membership Bonds will only be able to be used on membership. Squeal of Fortune, Solomons Store, Treasure Hunter, Runecoins or any other sort of micro-transaction will not come to Old School unless you vote for it in a poll. You are in control of Old School. In fact, we believe this so much that we want you to vote on whether a full and permanent F2P with Membership Bonds should be introduced. One thing you all need to be aware of is that a full and permanent F2P service cannot be introduced without Membership Bonds. Let us explain why. Why? Below is a graph that shows the projected membership for the next 5 years for three different scenarios; staying as we currently are, introducing F2P on its own and introducing F2P with Membership Bonds. What will happen if we do nothing? We looked at the membership trends since launch and utilised the longer history from RS3 to model what we think Old School will do if we do neither F2P scenario. As there is no attrition from a F2P service and a moderate gain through the F2P trials we see a slight decline over the next 5 years. What will happen with just F2P? We took the uplift we have seen from the F2P trials and used information from the initial launch of Old School to estimate the sudden increase in members when F2P is launched and the length of time these accounts will be retained. We then looked at the increase in players we saw lapsing out during the F2P trials and factored that in too. Players lapsing out will be a continuous effect on the membership line while the gain from F2P will be concentrated in the early period. As you can see, although a F2P service on its own will bring some short term success, in the in the long term it is quite damaging. What will happen with F2P and Membership Bonds? Adding Membership Bonds is not about getting more members, but retaining old ones more effectively. As you can see from the graph we still see the initial increase from a full and permanent F2P service and using information from how bonds have effected RS3 we have been able model the impact on those accounts that lapse out for F2P. We expect a full and permanent F2P service with Membership Bonds to allow us to have more players in 5 years’ time than we have today and that would be a wonderful achievement for us and the community. Other impacts We already know that 25% of you have used bonds by utilising the swapping clans out there to move money between Old School and RS3, so bonds are already used in Old School. We have also seen that bonds have reduced real world trading and botting in RS3 which in turn has seen a decrease in gold being generated by bots which is great for the economy. We expect to see the same impact in Old School. We will see a reduction in bots and RWT; and the gold they generated which is a huge benefit for skillers and the economy. In turn we will see fewer spammers and those gold swapping clans will cease to exist. Bots Of course, bonds won’t solve the bot problem on their own, and there will be more bots because of F2P so we need to be able to combat those too. During the F2P trials we have seen an increasing in mining bots, woodcutting bots, combat bots and spamming bots. Here are some things we can do to combat these. • On F2P restrict trading of resources off an account until a certain amount of quest points have been reached • On F2P and after level 20 combat you do not receive combat XP for damaging an NPC if your combat level is more than twice its combat level • Automate short term mutes for accounts which spam without using the in-built autotyper What you need to do In conclusion, it is really important that you tell us what you think about introducing a full and permanent F2P service alongside Membership Bonds. Everything tells us that this is the best option to allow Old School to flourish further in the future and allow us to make it the game that you truly want it to be. Discuss this on the forums.
