Jagex suspended MTX Runescape for 3-Month Anti-MTX Experiments

Jagex made a shocking step to suspend all MTX in RuneScape 3 and apply anti-MTX experiments for 3 months. The developer will impose several limits on the micro transaction feature and collect feedback for future improvement. This change is temporary, but they will be used as a stepping stone for how Jagex will overcome the 3 MTX runescape problem.

What is 3 months anti-MTX experiment

Jagex will launch an update that will suspend several main MTX features in RuneScape 3. Those who have items related to the contents that are deferred will be compensated in other ways. The following are the expected changes that will occur during the experimental period:

• Treasure hunter deactivated: Treasure hunters will be turned off, and stars and knowledge bombs will be offered for direct purchases instead.
• Limitation of DXP events: Proteans, dummies, lights, and other skills will be deactivated.
• Cosmetic Mega Drop: Past Cosmetic Override will be offered in extensive options for direct purchases.

Additional experimental changes will be carried out based on feedback and development road maps. The most anticipated is the cosmetics free world, but does not yet have a certain release date. However, Devs estimates that it will arrive in August.

Why Jagex suspended RuneScape 3 MTX

Mikrotransaction has been a hot topic in the RS3 community for many years, and many link the decline in games with predators practices. This game is bordered by the practice of P2W on several occasions, which have received significant reactions from fans. The thinning player who is running low may have forced Jagex’s hand to make drastic actions and changes about their MTX approach. Hopefully, this experimental phase will help revitalize interest in Runescape 3.
