While I noted that it did somewhat reduce the Dailyscape issue that plagued prior limited promotions, the pass just wasn’t worth it … Continue reading “Runefest 2018: Jagex Cans The RunePass”
Now for the record before we begin: I bought the Runepass with my own money, this is not a sponsored post nor was the thought ever proposed by Jagex. My game time credentials in RuneScape are such; I have played RuneScape since 2004 pretty much nonstop, my account has more than 187 days of pure … Continue reading “Diaries From RuneScape: Let’s Talk About Rune Pass”
