Suggestion for better Bond system (good for players and Jagex)
Many players complain that membership feel expensive. One account membership cost about $15 per month. Bonds help a lot of high end pvmer who can afford membership by grinding the game. But the system can be better for those who cant play much everyday.
Idea 1: Move bond pouch to Jagex Launcher account
Right now bonds stay only on one OSRS character/account.
Please make the bond pouch belong to the whole Jagex account (the launcher account).
So if I have many characters under the same Jagex account, I can use the bonds on any of them.
This is more flexible and a lot easier for the mobile player, since you cant drop trade a bond and you need to pay gold to use it on one of your account (due to the removal of membership code that could be reinstored due to the low amount of botter).
Players who play ironman + main, or have alts, will be happier. More happy players = more people stay and buy bonds longer.
Idea 2: Better ways to use 20 bonds
Now the only big option is use 20 bonds at once for 1 full year.
Please add more choices, for example:
20 bonds = 12 packages of ~30-33 days each
(so player can activate one month at a time when they need it)
Or other flexible options like:
10 bonds for 6 months (can split into smaller parts)
This helps players who cannot play every month (work, school, life). They still buy the 20-bond pack because it is good value, but they don’t waste days.
Why this is good for Jagex too:
Short time maybe less money if some people activate slower.
But long time more players will buy bonds and stay in the game.
I feel with many more new games modes coming theres a need to change the membership system.
Bonds is already a great system even if it's a mtx it allows a good player base to play for free. Just make them a bit more flexible and more players will love it and keep supporting the game.
What you guys think?
