Good news, just saw the original post on forums.

Hopefully it's not going to be 'F2P will be added when we're ready..' but 'F2p will be added in 2 days', the way i see it - F2P guarantees Runescape's longevity, obviously they need to properly advertise the game both on Off sites and on main page.

Well they said it would be addressed so it's not for sure, but I certainly hope it's the case. Of course I'd like to see the bots taken care of first but this is wonderful new if it's true; an obvious decision.

I think Jagex have realized that bots are not just a F2P issue, they are a Runescape wide issue. The cost of membership is not a deterrent to goldfarmers because they can make back that quickly.

In any case, I think F2P OSR is necessary for it to attract new players. Hopefully you guys get real F2P worlds sooner rather than later :)

The game needs f2p. Treasure trails, slayer drops, skiling are devalued due to the fact that there is no f2p player base to buy these items.

What member wants a sara set? Not very many, because theres dragons bandos and barrows.

That's actually a really good point to add to the argument of F2P, I hadn't thought of that.

Better stock up on feathers, iron arrows, and cowhides!

Imagine, buying 1,000,000 feathers for 4 each, and then BAM f2p comes out and their 10 each.

Well, perhaps at first, but until the something solid is done about the bots I predict the F2P resources to be raped and therefore nose-dive in value.

Regarding the F2P I suppose I better change a few things around in AeroLib, first thing's first; the world-selection and player membership status.

OT:When do we get to see this aerolib?

Well I just finished all the bank tab stuff and updated everything bank-related, it should all be automatic no matter which bank mode you use. Now for a bit of player membership status and I'll continue writing the release thread (which so far is just a lot of text). The tutorials will follow shortly after.

By the way, if I may ask, how's your include-updater coming along? I have nothing solid for updating AL at the moment, just a PasteBin version-checker. I have problems with GitHub so the initial release (at least) will just be a compressed folder with everything one needs to run AL.
