I’m not accepting the apology until it is rewritten without double speak /u/The_Dude_In_Torags Old School RuneScape!

The amount of double speak in the newest “apology” post is simply disgusting, and still leaves the door open for the batshit ideas they had in mind. I recently commented on these:

We will not include in-game advertisements in any regular paid membership.

Nothing changed. They pitched adding a new tier with ads. Upper management can decide which of these tiers is with and without ads, and which one of those is the regular one.

Similarly, this was originally included in context of a lower cost membership option, but we will not be reducing AFK timers for any paid membership.

But they could remove and sell you other features in premium membership without going back on what they said.

We commit to ensuring that any subscription provides access to the full suite of core game content.

What exactly is core content? They could decide tomorrow that extra bank space isn’t a core feature and start selling it back to you for cash.

I’m not accepting this shit apology until they state that no ads will ever enter the game, and that absolutely no gameplay features or content will be locked behind neither specific membership tiers, nor any other forms of extra purchases.

I can only imagine what the Jmods are going through here. Given the radio silence and the posts not being signed by them, they were probably told to shut the fuck up by upper management. This is the time for whistleblowing.
