    Default Some F2P Worlds being removed

    EDIT: Some f2p worlds will be removed. I apologize for the misleading title.

    Hi,

    We're currently looking into giving the game worlds a little refresh and thought it would be a nice idea to get you guys involved concerning the allocation of themes.

    Before posting, here's a couple of things to remember:

    ● Themed worlds are only recommendations; you aren't forced to use that world for the listed activity.

    We will be removing some low popularity F2P worlds, but all member worlds will remain intact.

    Here's a reminder of the current server layout; apologies for the slightly blurry quality, it's a screenshot of my spreadsheet! :P

    Key discussion points

    ● Are all the current themes still relevant?

    ● Are there new themes that need to be added? i.e. Runespan. bonfires etc.

    ● Are there any player defined worlds which we should make official? i.e. penguin hunting, gilded altars etc.


    As always, I look forward to reading your replies!

    P.S. Please try and keep the discussion sensible - any off-topic posts will be removed!

    I thought they were going to remove f2p forever. On a second note, I recommend they make a quick-chat botting world.

    After few year They will remove it at all..
    I guess Activity is low since new account gets trial membership for 14 days with some limitations. still most of bots uses P2P worlds if available, because of more available spots to powerlevel and so on.. I think that's why some of world are only around 200 players. And I agree with

    Ouch, right in my full rune . This is bad for me, it means more bots in my spots. It's hard to find an empty world right now as it is :/

    Like I said Jagex doesn't care about F2P players, they are killing the F2P worlds one bit at a time then they will completely remove it, if you don't pay money, they don't care, they don't even care about members but at least they update members a lot

    Guess I know when I'll quit then, I don't enjoy runescape enough to pay 8$ a month. Hopefully it won't be soon, I still enjoy scripting here

    I think F2P worlds are nice for players and player training (as you can *hopefully* find an open training hot-spot via hopping to a different world)...

    ... On the flip side, it seems Jagex is having money issues as they cannot sustain running an extra world server, or several (don't know how many F2P worlds have been cut).

    Overall I think both Jagex and the player base are loosing out. :/ I personally enjoy more worlds with less people, even whilst legitimate playing.

    When I saw the title, I thought it was all of them. Good thing it's only some of them, or else I would've thought jagex was that much money-hungry.

    Gratz on Junior Mems!

    OT: I'm not sure why they would remove some more worlds, when they need to get their servers upgraded as they are. They better get them upgraded before doing this >.>

    Title was a bit misleading, but what they're doing makes sense.

    Most F2P worlds nowadays have an average of about 200 people in them whenever I get on. It makes sense to take some out, but I'm sad that my autoing spots will be more crowded now. I guess I'd better hurry to 99 mining :P
    Long ago, the '90s Nicktoons lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the century turned. Only Avatar, the best of the 2000's Nicktoons, could save them. But when the channel needed it most, the show finished. Four years passed and Mike and Bryan created the new Avatar: Legend of Korra. And although the show itself is great, it has a long way to go before it can live up to The Last Airbender. But I believe Korra can save Nickelodeon.

    Sad to see some of those worlds go.

    I guess it's time for there to be less sever lag with running so many worlds though?

    what do u mean by less lag because of less worlds? each world/couple of worlds are run on different servers, so it would hardly make any difference

    Lag will actually go up if anything because of more people on the remaining worlds.

    Jagex should care more about their F2P player-base since those are all potential future members that might just be put off by neglected F2P content and crowded servers.
    What do I care though...glad I don't play.

    meh, this needs to be done. There are too little people on most worlds.
    As long as they don't overdue it and leave w81 alone, I'm happy
