Due to overwhelming demand, we will be returning the 12-month membership card to the Jagex Online Store. At $60, or £40 each, they are fantastic value, and can be redeemed at any time.

 

You can also buy our prepaid membership cards for shorter durations of 30 and 60 days in participating stores across the world. See our billing pages for more info.

Am I the only one to find this price insane? ~47€ results in only a little bit under 4€/month, which is awesomely low compared to other methods. :blink:

Well it's an incentive to get membership isn't it, insane prices = more members tbh.

Yeah, nothing to complain there, I guess. :P

It's just a matter of time before someone makes the claim that cheaper membership -> less updates.

But if more people have that membership surely Jagex's revenue will be about the same?

Except in the land of faulty arguments, where the worst case scenario is the only one to always happen. :lol:

I'm really tempted to buy one of them right now.. Shame I don't have the money to spend. :P

I think all Jagex membership has a base price. Any rise on that price is usually down to the amount it costs to sell it. Such as charges to phone companies to sell by text, or packaging for cards.

Costs more for me as I'm still paying £3.20 a month, but it's a really nice price and a lot of games do discounts where buying more time at once = cheaper.

How?! Do tell, do tell!

 

Anyway, $5 a month is just like old times.

Card looks hot. Id possibly buy it for the card (and membership) if I wasnt paying the old price before the change.

Well since I currently pay the meagre sum of £38.40 a year, since i never let my membership lapse I have no need to take advantage of this "special offer", however no doubt this is much cheaper for new members or those who allowed their memberships to expire. Personally I think anyone who thinks that this will somehow affect how often Runescape is updated is a cynical idiot.

People who had a subscription before the price change kept their subscription at the lower price.

Well it comes to about £3.33 according to my calculator.

 

That's not much cheaper than the £3.50 of my current subscription. The real issue I'd have with it is if you wanted to stop playing you'd still have a whole year's membership paid for =/

£40.00 inc VAT

What's VAT?

 

To confirm if i got the calculations right:

1 dollar is 5 norwegian krones.

 

So 12 months single membership costs:

10 dollars x 12 = 120 dollars x 5 = 600 Norwegian krones

 

Where if you buy a year membership:

40 dollars x 5 = 200 Norwegian krones.

1 dollar = 5.89NOK, and a year's P2P card is 60$, not 40$ (it's 40£). :D

That's the idea behind it. Rather than having kids whine and complain to their parents for a 3 month subscription, they now have the option to complain and whine for a 12 month. Which, all in all it is acceptable to expect the kid to not even play 3 months of the game, so in the end Jagex gains a full 9 months of extra cash that they would have otherwise not gotten.

am I the only one who feels that because they game update got delayed this week that they have thrown out every other non-game update they had instead? lol

Not necessarily. This way Jagex has a 12 month payment for a slightly lower price instead of 12 unsure payments at the regular price.

 

My company does this with our maintenance clients. We just offered a potential client a 10% discount on our service rates if they used us for all of their sites. That means slightly lower profits but guaranteed sales.

:lol: Seems like. When was the last time there were this many non-game updates in one week?

It's funny that they give the price in USD, yet do not sell the card to the USA. Every country on the list is in Europe.

 

They should sell these the way Amazon sells gift cards - let you choose delivery by e-mail. Why do you need to move some physical plastic card through the mail these days? Get with the times already.

Meh that costs more than what im already paying. :sad:

 

Not that I mind lol. Still a good offer!

Feels like it since there were 3 newsposts today. :P

I dont mind though, it gives people something to talk about.

L the pic of the card has graar in blue bandos armor XD

Try going to the USA Jagex store which ships to anywhere else not in Europe. ;)

 

I might actually buy the card instead of my usual payment option as this seems to be even cheaper.

Thanks- wasn't aware there were two different stores.

"Get your game on for an entire year with the RuneScape 12-Month membership card. Each card contains a magic coating that scratches off to reveal your personal code that unlocks the power and majesty of pay-to-play membership. In addition to accessing the awesomeness that membership brings, like bigger bank space, epic weapons of 0wnage and skills that would make Guthix cry, youll now own a cool card to add to your collection of expired drivers licenses, train tickets and fake IDs. "

 

Who writes this stuff? #-o

Apparently the card's price doesn't include the delivery costs. Someone on RSOF checked it for me, he said it's 15.50£. :mellow:

... :angry: . I call this false advertising.
