    membership price increase

    Recently jagex have announced an increase in their membership from 11 dollars a month to $12.49 (~13% increase). In addition, other in game content such as bonds has also seen a price increase from 6.99$ to 7.99$. Just curious to see what u guys think about this and whether if it's a good move for the game in general and the effect on RWT activities.

    I understand that a lot of us get our membership through cheaper alternatives on sythe anyway but I'm also wondering if this will affect their prices?

    It might sway more people into buying through gold sites rather than purchasing bonds. But on the other hand we will also lose players who may currently RWT who are not happy with the new membership cost.

    4.9euro was prob around actual 2007.

    The trend seems to be that every 3-4years membership increases around 1-2dollars which doesn't seem too bad tbh.

    Not a good idea right now. There haven't been any game-changing updates in quite a while to make the rise in cost justifiable. Possibly if they do the wilderness update and it's good then it might be.

    p.s I also remember when membership was $5 USD a month, seems like forever ago.

    There has been a lot of inflation so this is probably equivalent to beforehand. What I think they should actually do is do some microtransactions that are cosmetic only, which could have the potential of making membership much less costly or even making the game completely F2P, this could be done through having certain recolors that you could only get through microtranscations.

    I don't think MTX would be accepted into OSRS even if its just in the form of cosmetics, the community hates the idea and we already have enough through stuff like tob, cox and etc

    The price of bonds has gone up so much because of this as well. I remember when RS3 bonds where like ~30m, and now they're upwards of ~70m

    I remember you could go to the store and buy a one month gift card for $7.95. It is crazy to see the price has almost doubled since I was younger

    Same, good old days.
    Or paying with texts :)

    To stay on topic, I don't think MTX will ever see Osrs due to the outrage.
    I Personally do not mind the increase that much but can see it could be something of an issue for others, think it was bound to happen anyways nonetheless whether inflation was a thing or not.

    That’s why it’s better to buy membership codes imo
