  • Old School RuneScape (OSRS), an MMORPG title that started nearly two decades ago, has closed a community poll which was voting on RuneScape gold the execution of”Partnerships.” Essentially, Partnerships revolve around the idea that some new things and attributes would become accessible to”Partners” of Old School RuneScape, prior to being published to the general population.

    That really is nothing new, as last year the developers of RuneScape”partnered” with Twitch to let Prime members early access to some new purple skin colour. When the promotional event had ended, they then allowed all players to use the pigment. The RuneScape community didn’t enjoy the notion back then, and they don’t enjoy it today.

The fact that any type of monetization was discussed while the title already contains a monthly subscription was likely the reason for such a backlash from the community.
