F2p Vs. P2p The Debate
#1
Posted 08 October 2003 - 08:32 PM
Many people are talking about what would happen if there was a war against Free Players against Members. Please put comments here. Write down who you think will win, and explain.
It will be a tie. I always check the members world, I see around 5000 or less people play(All 6). On the other hand, Many level 3-60's + are playing in Free world. All the player in free world maybe around 14,000+ or less. There are many newbies, I agree but if they can damage at least 1 to every P2p players that may be the key to winning. But the members have the advantage of new dragon armor and higher leveled people. Most of whom are in the Hi-Scores. What do you guys think?

I think the p2p's will win. Because if the f2p's are attacking them it will make a difference because the p2p's have better ranging, magic, and weapons, and speaking tactically the p2p's can choose a better position such as a place they can fish for food a respawn rune place or arrows and all that good stuff. I think the skills will be deciding factor not numbers. Also only the high lvl free players will be able to attack the members elimating the number advantage (due to the fact there aren't very many lvl 30 members).

P2p's, probably. With the skills, p2p has the advantages: New spells, more powerful arrows, etc. Then, p2p sports higher levels. I seldom see a person under level 40. In f2p I'd say the average level is about 40.
The good side of f2p is the sheer quantity. I'd say f2p outnumbers p2p at least 3:1.
It would be pretty darn close, though

P2p, it is for the serious members who are willing to pay to have the FULL version of the game. Therefore they have experience in almost every part of rs. And they want to be the best because who would waste 5 dollars a month to support a level 10 noob? No one, that is why the levels are so high, they want to be the best of the best.
They probably are too.

I say p2p, because all the high lvled 123 will mow down atleast 75 f2p dudes with mighty draggy axes. Plus, p2p has the mage arena spells, plus iban blast
they will mow us down ![sad.gif](http://www.cspacezone.net/cspaceforum4/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
