Huge Noob Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The overhaul to Solomon's General Store is here, with the rewards from the Members Loyalty Programme being successfully re-homed among its already bountiful stock. Now you're able to spend your loyalty points on a wide range of items, some of which have received a major graphical upgrade and look better than ever – including the loyalty items you have already purchased.Loyalty shop outfits are now cosmetic overrides and can be equipped through the wardrobe interface. Because of this change, players whose loyalty items were stored in dragon keepsake boxes will be refunded the keepsake key upon launch of the update.You can also access your Members' Loyalty Programme information straight from Solomon's General Store. With just one click, you can view your loyalty points and details on how long you've been a member in one convenient location.The Members' Loyalty Programme has also been reworked in terms of how you earn loyalty points:Anyone who is a member for a year receives an exclusive milestone reward, with further items for continuous years of membership. Note that this only counts back since the Loyalty Programme first went live, so no-one will get more than the first two items today.Any milestone items for which you're eligible will be sent to your bank. If you don't have enough bank space, you'll be able to claim them from Diango in Draynor Village marketplace.Players who subscribe for several months in a row receive bonus loyalty points.Xuan is still around and you can now access the Solomon's General Store via his market stall. He'll still help you to retrieve lost auras and re-colour items.This change marks a new and improved era for the Members' Loyalty Programme, with much more content planned for the future. We'd like to thank you for your patience while we were working on polishing this exciting update. We know that many of you were disappointed by the delay, so please accept our apologies. We hope that you enjoy using the newly merged store.For more details, check out the official FAQ.The RuneScape Team In Other NewsSuper September has flexed its pecs and continues to soar through the skies!

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Whoops, I was under the impression that the bonus we were getting for the 1-year and 2-year milestones were going to be points, not items. Shouldn't have blown them all :( On the plus side, combat timers at last! In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Yoko Kurama Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The update isn't here yet for a lot of people, apparently. They either get whitescreen, or nothing changes, particularly if they access it from the site, as well. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Mmm no sign of new store for me atm. Also I like how the super hyped 'milestone' rewards are hideous near identical bronze tiara/crown things...because useless items that look fugly and have no use is just what we all want especially crown cause it's not like we don't have several other better looking choices.

But in comparison) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Kurama Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I only have the 1 year crown, but it's actually not bad looking. I don't know why you hate it so much. It's a bit small, you have to zoom in to view it. It could be bigger, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Cause its plain and boring and we have easier to obtain better looking crowns. Not to mention how much they hyped milestone rewards as some big reward for ur loyalty and its a frigging crown. No emote, no xp, no functional use heck it's even an ITEM instead of an override as part of an update tht specifically made items into overrides in recognition of the fact we prefer them. Then of course the fact the that two year milestone reward is virtually identical to the 1 year reward so it doesn't even offer any sort of distinguishing feature that you are more loyal.

Riptide Mage Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Funny how even after a week's delay they fail to properly roll out the new store. You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's rolled out fine, they just can't reload the game and external servers at the same time so soloman's server is now being reloaded to update that end of things. As confirmed by jmods in-game.

In a year we will get the crown of spins. If you've bought 100+ spins you can have the crown. It gives you 1 spin a day more and gives you an emote that turns you into a giant spinning wheel. Not only that its an animated crown that constantly spins on your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoko Kurama Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 As I had anticipated, the SGS items are far too pricey with Loyalty Points. Not really worth spending Loyalty on it unless you absolutely need to have something and have no other use for Loyalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Well this is a big let down. Pointless milestone rewards, barely anything buyable with loyalty and what is is predominantly the less appealing stuff and pretty much all vastly overpriced.

Yoko Kurama Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Actually the rather high Loyalty prices were in the BTS video. So it wasn't really a letdown, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenw Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The most useful things for me from SGS: 208,800 for bank spaces, and 56k per dragon keepsake key. Thank god i spent coins on the spaces... 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Riqualyn Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Oh, only 208k loyalty points for 50 bank spaces. That's 19 months consecutively. So 19 months loyalty is worth $11 USD to Jagex. Good to know. Edit: At a glance through, Loyalty point to Rune Coin ratios seem to be: Boosters: 552 LP/CoinKeepsake: 444 LP/CoinHairstyle: 355 LP/Coin So Boosters are actually the least effective use barring any hidden gems stuck around.
