New Changes on RuneScape Membership & Shop Items Prices
Jagex plans to change the Membership & Shop items prices for new members on May 4, 2022. It is the fifth change since the game began to charge. With rising development costs and changes in the overall economy, this is, of course, understandable. Moreover, the price increase rate of membership is far lower than the growth rate of your income. We believe that the vast majority of players will accept the prices increase.
RuneScape Membership Price History (monthly charge)
Since they introduced the monthly membership in February 2002, the price has changed five times - from $5 to $12.49. We can see each change and the increase rate compared to the last membership price in the table below:
Date | Price | Increase Rate |
Feburary 2002 | $5.00 | - |
August 2008 | $5.95 | 19.00% |
January 2012 | $7.95 | 33.61% |
March 2015 | $9.49 | 19.37% |
June 2018 | $10.99 | 15.81% |
May 2022 | $12.49 | 13.65% |
We can see that the increase in 2012 is relatively high, according to the data in the table. Please keep in mind that the price increases every few years, but your salary may increase once or several times a year. What was your monthly income a few years ago? And what about now? In this way, the price increase rate of Runescape membership is quite reasonable. Isn't it?
New Membership Price
The following are the details of the new member price:
Currency | Premier 12 Month | 6 Month | 1 Month |
USD | 79.99 | 59.99 | 12.49 |
GBP | 59.99 | 44.99 | 8.99 |
EUR | 69.99 | 53.99 | 16.99 |
AUD | 119.99 | 80.99 | 16.99 |
CAD | 113.99 | 71.99 | 14.99 |
Please note that the change will not affect your existing membership. After your current membership expires, you will pay according to the new price rules for re-subscribing.
Jagex will cancel the three-month member package in the future. And the discount on the 12-month package price is up to 45% off, even lower than the current package price. It may be good news if you are a loyal RuneScape/OSRS player.
New Bond Price
The OSRS Bond is the only item related to the OSRS game. So, let's take a look at the new price.
Currency | 1 Bond | 3 Bonds | 5 Bonds | 10 Bonds |
USD | 7.99 | 23.99 | 39.99 | 79.99 |
GBP | 4.99 | 14.99 | 24.99 | 49.99 |
EUR | 6.99 | 20.99 | 34.99 | 69.99 |
AUD | 9.99 | 29.99 | 49.99 | 99.99 |
CAD | 8.99 | 26.99 | 44.99 | 89.99 |
You can redeem a bond in the game for 14 days of membership, and also you can sell it for OSRS gold coins on Grand Exchange. Players who have purchased bonds will not exchange them for membership in terms of price but prefer to sell them through GE in exchange for gold coins.
We expect that the price of the bond selling in GE will be a little lower than before in a short time. If you are a real F2P player who redeems bonds for membership, you can buy some bonds for later use.
