You can now buy fortunespins for real money. In effect this is buying XP. You can buy 75 spins for €18, which will be approx. 30 lamps, no? So now you can buy xp :)

Lies
Link?
Please be April Fools joke PLEASE
Ladies and Gents' we are now witnessing the end of Runescape.
6$ for 10 spins? pfft? 95% from all spins i will get junk, better buy gold from goldfarmers
Forget it guys just use RS to Gold Farm. Ef it all. **CK YOU JAGEX. **CK YOU!. 1st they frickin remove the wilderness and free trade and mess it up AND WE STILL STUCK WITH YOU. Then they bring it back and we're all like yaay we can now be happy again. Then introduce BS pointless shit items, then let injection bots ruin and contaminate a game, but then introduce a bot nuke THAT DID NOT WORK. HOLLY CRAP. I loved RS so much but its now being destroyed.
its real but its all chance what u get might as well buy rsgp and remove the chance factor
ever since this update ive been thinking that maybe it should be built into srl to check if your avatar has recently got a spin ticket and pick it up. might benefit all
Check out their rule against RWT. It is exactly what they are doing right now!
Can you make color bots for world of warcraft no?
LOOOL yea...Quote:

I really thought that they couldn't come up with any ideas to earn some revenue... I was sadly mistaken.

Anyway, this is what it looks like for XP:
Background/assumptions
-To level a skill from 1 to 99 requires 13,034,431 XP
-The average amount of experience from each lamp to level a skill from 1 to 99 is the XP received from the lamp at level 91
-Spins are purchased at $20 per 75
-Random-assigned (forced skill) lamps are given out at a uniform rate
~Number of lamps to achieve 99
Small lamp: 13034431/6452 = ~2020
Medium lamp: 13034431/12903 = ~1010
According to one RS forum post, the player won 22 small XP lamps and 10 medium XP lamps over 80 spins. The chances of getting them are as follows:
Small lamp: 22/80 = .275 = 27.5%
Medium lamp: 10/80 = .125 = 12.5%
A better source with more spins, showing how many lamps received would make this a bit more accurate.
Lamps per 75 spins
Small lamp: 75*.275 = 20.625
Medium lamp: 75*.125 = 9.375
Approximate cost to level all skills to 99
XP per lamp at 91
Small lamp: 6452
Medium lamp: 12903
XP at 91 for 75 spins
20.625*6452 = 133072.5
9.375*12903 = 120965.625
133072.5 + 120965.625 = 254038.125
XP per spin at 91
254038.125 / 75 = 3387.175
XP per dollar at 91
254038.125 / 20 = 12701.90625
Cost of one 99
13034431 / 12701.90625 = ~$1026.18
Cost of 25 99s
$1026.18*25 = $25654.50
Dungeoneering
XP per lamp at 99+
Small lamp: 8602
Medium lamp: 17204
XP at 99+ for 75 spins
20.625*8602 = 177416.25
9.375*17204 = 161287.5
177416.25 + 161287.5 = 338703.75
XP per spin at 99+
338703.75 / 75 = 4516.05
XP per dollar at 99+
338703.75 / 20 = 16935.1875
Dungeoneering XP from 99-120
104273166 - 13034431 = 91238735
Dungeoneering cost from 99-120
91238735 / 16935.1875 = ~$5387.52
Approximate cost to max out all stats
$25654.50 + $5387.52 = $31042.02
Also, even if you were to sell some of the rares you collect, it wouldn't help to repay much. You might get 20% back or so, but this is just a guess, and then you would have to sell it by RWT.

Edit: I've edited to reflect a more realistic chance of XP lamps. Reference: http://services.runescape.com/m=foru...6,537,63659103
Edit: I also need to adjust based on average rate of double spin tickets. I'll do this later.
Lol, they're probably correct calculations...
Jagex have just turned into big time hypocrites. They say that Real World Trading is against the rules and then bend that rule so that they can make extra money...
And above all - their prices for bonus spins are sky-high
GF Jagex :hypocrite: :hypocrite: :hypocrite: :hypocrite:
Jagex is erasing any good calculations from their forums on how much it would cost for exp. Fucking pigs.
Oh no. I always had nightmares about this happening...and it did.
Yes the end is coming... Gf 150 days of rs...gf....
So pathetic.. lets all spend like 200$ and max our accounts!!
Are they going to set up an official subsidiary allowing people to trade gold for real life cash in the next step?
Nice work Jagex :) This is totally encouraging gambling, goldfarming, RWT, the very few things that destroyed RS before.
FYI this is not April fools...
I never though this would happen tbh. Jage must be low on cash.
laugh to this update lol, i already bought 75 spin lol ty for this update nub
This is an absolute joke.
Lol... What will be next. Jagex selling Runescape Gold... or Instant 99
Their response to them real world trading by allowing members to purchase their features, was that without real world trading, Jagex would not exist. This decision was not a horrible one, as it allows ADULTS to gamble, as only ADULTS can pay for RuneScape.Actually I believe they still allow cash in envelopes. If that is the case then children will son be gambling their lives away.
This new 'Win to Spin' update should not get many players very much XP, or items, as the chance of receiving is so low already. They are effectively pulling in a new source of income, with little in game effect.
With the money this pulls in, I hope to see more added to the game, because Jagex was originally created as a small company, that enjoyed writing games, much like us, as we are small and write bots because we enjoy it. Not because it is a source of income.
Last word hasn't been said about this new update. Short excerpts from the rs-thread:
- This gaming-model is illegal in Australia.
- Jagex has been taken over by a commercial financial institute.
- It is an unfair advantage.
- It goes against their own RWT-rules.
- Mayority is outraged (protests in world 66 and 100), some are happy.
- Mods are doing their utmost to keep the thread clean, but fail.
- Someone spent €18 for 75 spins returning just coins and runes, another spent €18 and recieved 240k XP :)
They really have ruined themself with this one then! :f:Quote:

After a bit of digging around, it seems Andrew decided to finally cash in on RuneScape and he sold his stake to a Insight Ventures, the same company bought a 35% part Jagex before in 2005, for £75M. They got a controlling 52% now which means Jagex is now in hands of some financial guys, in there for the money.
Seems the gamers lost. Too bad, it was a nice game.
game was crap anyways.....
should have seen something like this comeing!
Some quote from jagex I read on the forums:
"We don’t want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn’t affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."
wow pretty crazy....never thought they would actually go to this
lmao.... Jagex is in need of money
jagex will broke soon, since they removed the reflection, nexus, injection bots they $$$ dropped a lot

There is a picture of the prices
Even worse, if someone hacks your account, he can easily buy a zillion SoF's worth of microtransactions....and sees your credit card number in the SoF tasb appearantly.
