Jagex has reigned in an update relating to a cash shop sale after customers complained that the promotion was obnoxious. In order to promote a month-long Solomon Store (cash shop) sale, Jagex placed a Solomon NPC within several cities to banter on about his deals. Players criticized the NPC text as spam, noting that in many locations he was appearing next to town heralds who were also promoting the same sale.
In response, Jagex quickly removed the Solomon NPCs from all locations except his permanent home in Varrok, while town heralds are still promoting the sale at a less intrusive rate. Jagex has since apologized over Twitter, declaring the NPC placement to be a mistake.
RuneScape’s cash shops continue to be a hot button issue over the perception that content is being withheld from the game in order to be monetized over limited time Treasure Hunter promotions.
