It’s like the guy in a trenchcoat selling gas station drugs in a dingy back alley. Gets you hooked at the same price you’d get the “caffeine” pills from the station, then when you come back for more they’re suddenly 2-3× the price. It’s just good business.
Everyone I know who actually pays to play Jagex games acts like it’s meth or heroin…
Not trying to shame folk that do, but the only other times I’ve seen that level of video game addiction was early days WoW.
pretty much everyone I know who plays osrs is extremely addicted, anecdotes of course but I’ve never seen anyone have a normal relationship with this game
Damn $32.50 a month for the full tier? That puts them way above every other MMO.
Jagex asks membership money per character.
WoW is cheaper and even gives you 60+ character slots.
