old OldSchool Runescape Free To Play Trial

So I think that everyone here remember the old days where everyone used to talk about really popular game called RuneScape. But years later JaGeX has ruined it, and the game became complete shit. A year ago they've re-launched the old 2007 version of the game which everyone wanted back. Although it is back, it is still pay-to-play only. For almost 9 months community was begging them to add F2P, so finally they've listened. In the May 27th they will launch several F2P worlds. However it will only last for two weeks and only new accounts can access it for free. So if you will register after or on the May 27th, you will gain a free access to the F2P worlds. Read more at by clicking here.

So will you try it? I am really excited about it as the game can become much more popular like back in the day.

@user Yates: A "No, it's a horrible game that I'll never play" would have done better. Why'd you comment if you have nothing to say anything ?

I won't play it either. Anything apart quick cs2d or LoL match is a no-no for me.

I once tried LoL i didn't know what to do, LoL's community is retarded, I asked for help and all they did was swearing and voting to kick me, not to mention that if you leave or go idle before the match ends you get banned for some time.
I guess it's not my type..

@user Ahmad: If you're good enough, you can carry your team (meaning that you can win the game alone with little help from teammates). Find me a game with 0 people willing to swear. You won't. That's how people are. I do agree that there's an exceptionally high amount of them in LoL communities. Anyways, this isn't about LoL but that it is quick enough to play for short spans.

@user Random guy: Yes, it does take from 15 to 45 minutes on average, sometimes going up to about 80 minutes. Well, rarely. Anyways, 20-25 minutes is fast for me. Compare it with MMOs where you need to spend weeks, grinding mobs to actually level up to do something. Now THAT'S a long time for me

@user Infinite Rain: So basically, a RS with all member features for F2P people and for 2 weeks ? Or maybe you meant that it's old RS version for 2 weeks that'll work for F2P people too..?

@user Rainoth:
OldSchool RuneScape is only pay-to-play. Because if they were to add F2P worlds then it will crash prices of certain resources because of bots gathering them. It wasn't big of a deal because botters (botting is disallowed btw) had to pay for membership in order use it. Now that the game will become free, they will not have to pay for anything at all so they aren't risking real money. That's why it's pay to play only.

Now that community really wanted them to add free to play worlds, they need to test some things.
1. Will it increase player rates?
2. Will botting be a big of an issue?

So that's the reason of them adding only 2 weeks trial. If it will go alright, then they will add permanent free worlds.

By F2P worlds I basically meant the free version of RuneScape 2007 in which you couldn't train certain skills and half of the map is closed.

LoL is really horrible - i honestly don't know whats worse LoL or Dota 2 (Both have idiotic children that scream at you for no god damn reason - even if you are winning) - I got kicked for helping the team win (apparently they wanted the enemy team to win - because it helps them build up something or unlock something... still not sure.)

I have to say - the old runescape is awesome - so much nostalgia instead of the new age cr**. It looks like Jagex finally understood that the community wants the older version instead. Funny - i did a little research on both the new 2014 runescape and the old version they released - the old one has a lot more players.
