Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?
Tim - I didn't know any of that. I've been on the same account since 2006 and I haven't had any friends sign up recently. It's a marketing ploy and so feels inherently a bit icky; but I can't really fault them too much on it. Their wages come from the membership subscriptions and this is a slightly less insidious tactic than the constant 'oh! You can't do this because you're not a member!' thing.
JSheaForest - I'm looking forward to your Burthorpe Wizzle! I did the quest, as a quest cape holder, and I've done the getting lost in Taverley thing several times. But, as this thread shows, there's loads that I've overlooked up there. I wasn't the target audience, so I went back to high level content instead.
As for the voice acting part, I'm not massively keen, but that's only because I'm partially deaf. It was fun in that quest over in Al Kharid though, and I'm happy to see content that makes everyone else cheer. Not every update is for me. :)
Thanks both for your comments.
