How Jagex Makes Money Off of You

How do you think that Jagex is making money off of you?

Are you a free player on Runescape that has never become a member? If you are probably want to try it for atleast a month. This is how Jagex makes their first payment from you.

You ask your parents or you pay for it yourself depending on your age. Then you go onto a members world for the first time.

"What should I do first?" you ask yourself. Maybe you will try a quest or explore the new part of Runescape. If you loved the free version then you are probably loving the members version 10 times more.

Nearing the end of your membership you might be disappointed that you will have to go back to the free version. You try to make your last few days of membership as wonderful as you can.

A few days pass and BAM! You're no longer a member. How could you live playing the free version now? You have experienced the best part of Runescape.

Jagex can use the fact that the free version is a lot less fun once you've been a member to get you to pay for more membership. Once you become a member, Jagex knows you will be happy again until you have to go back to the free version.

yah because graphics designers and java programmers are free(sarcasm), they need money to stay afloat although alot is payed by things like banner ads they still need money. if all they cared about was money they wouldn't take out all of the banner ads for members also they do invest a lot in the game seeing as its a HUGE improvement from the days of runescape classic in graphics and quests its not the same old game same old graphics how are you going to say they don't put money back into the game when they have updates every single month, the games update rate is actually increasing every year... do you even play runescape????
