Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey first assumed Jagex was just asking questions, but after looking at the survey details he concluded that what Jagex was asking about was really bad.1
  • Gnomonkey says that after seeing the video clips of what Jagex was willing to cut off and sell back, he concluded that Jagex is willing to monetize everything players do, including features they enjoy.2
  • Gnomonkey says Jagex should write a plan of action to add features such as account recovery, account security and API access to the game at no increased cost, since Jagex's own post claims to care about players.3
  • Gnomonkey suggests that giving players a couple of free extra characters might go a long way toward mending the damage.4
  • Gnomonkey says he hopes that the next time he returns the issue is buried because Jagex has stepped up and the community no longer has to think about it.5
  • Gnomonkey says what frustrates him is that a lot of people are okay with the survey and the response.6
  • Gnomonkey says even suggesting ideas like in-game ads, shorter AFK timers, or making improved player support cost extra undermined player trust.7

Events

  • In January 2025 Jagex published a conjoint membership survey for Old School RuneScape asking players what membership monetization options they would be okay with.8
  • The survey showed respondents randomised test packages of membership features to see what they would and would not accept.1
  • Gnomonkey recaps that the Jagex survey asked what players would accept being monetized with, including ads, removal of client access, removal of plugin access, enhanced customer support, enhanced recovery, VIP worlds and titles.9
  • Players were unsubscribing in such numbers that the Jagex website's unsubscribe page was returning a 404 error.10
