RuneScape Halloween event 2011

The RuneScape Halloween event 2011 has started controversy before it has even been released. The October 1, 2011 behind the scenes release provided enough detail to irk RuneScape players.The major area of contention over the RuneScape Halloween event 2011 consists over one of the rewards, the hourglass. RuneScape players need to be a paying member in order to cash this reward. There is no way for F2P RuneScape players to get this reward, and should a F2P player become a member at a later date, the reward remains unavailable according to what was stated.
The second point of contention over the RuneScape Halloween event 2011 consists of its setting, which is the clan citadel of the grim reaper. Clan citadels, which are members’ only, were the 2011 update of the year as touted by Jagex. They went as far as to change the main page background and drop mysterious rocks in RuneScape. Although a huge advance in graphics and game engine development, the citadels became mostly a flop due to a lack of activities available within.
RuneScape players, already upset with recent events including the dwarven army axe, Members' loyalty programme, katana, Easter event 2011 reward, capes of accomplishment, and refer a friend program responded in the forums feeling that the holiday event was being used as a way to promote membership by previewing members’ only content in F2P and by having one of the rewards being strictly members’.
