Soulthresher Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 God Jagex must be pissed when months have 31 days...all that potential revenue lost! GASP! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Are we really discussing the impact of 2 days of membership? really?Where is the logic behind giving 31 days of membership one second, 28 days of membership the next second? If you bought a month of membership on the 31st, your membership will last 2-3 days longer than when you would have bought it a day later. Makes no sense. First to 99 Farming on 27.

Myweponsg00d Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wait a second. Is this really how membership works? I thought that it just renewed in 30 day increments or whatever... What happens if you buy membership in the middle of the month? You only get two weeks? You get 6 weeks? Great post. I especially liked the part where you added in comma's and periods!

If you bought a month of membership on the 31st, your membership will last 2-3 days longer than when you would have bought it a day later. Makes no sense. What is the logic of february having only 28 days and sometimes 29 days? The real issue is a loss of about 50 cents in a single month over the year... Not worth crying over IMO.

I don;t get why people find this so confusing or weird.The entire world works this way.If you pay £200 rent a month, you still pay the same amount for less time in february.If you have a contract phone you are billed monthly and free allowances run monthly, which again means less time for feb. In the entire world of buying things it is FAR more unusual for a monthly payment to relate to a set number of days, instead they run by numerical date.Phone contract payments for my bill are taken on the 19th of the month every month.Rent payments go on the first of very month.Bill (on a fixed tariff) come in on the 20th of every month.Broadband comes in on the 18th of every month. They all cost the same amount (assuming don't go over the tariff allowences) regardless of the month of the year.

xpx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The real problem is that you can easily abuse the system. If everyone were to cancel their memberships on the 30th and bought it back on the 31st, jagex would lose up to 1% of their total revenue. First to 99 Farming on 27.

Alistair Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The issue seems to be that for people that plan on only playing for one month's members, buying it on the first of the month as a direct result of the wilderness returning, will get 40 cents less worth of membership on average than if the wilderness was released in any other month. That having been said, giving players that would not pay for further month's of membership 2-3 fewer days will make absolutely no difference to the company. It is most likely a coincidence, and if it is a business plan, it's a ridiculous one - obvious the earlier lots of people buy and maintain membership, the better. It's not like they don't give free membership, merchandise, tickets and so on every now and again anyway. Although subscription has a potentially higher rate of cancellation than rent after a month, the above examples all work. If you're really that concerned about the money, you might as well only buy membership on months with 31 days >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It didn't always apply to the other payment methods(like pin, phone, etc), but maybe credit card users. I've never personally used credit cards to pay for members, so this phenom has only bothered me for the last few years, in which i haven't actively been a member, but i'll be sure to abuse the system from now on. To the many saying it's just 50 cents, for some people, members costs up to 25 dollars a month, so don't be stupid and consider just yourself. First to 99 Farming on 27.
