Membership Price Change
Thank you for being a valued RuneScape Member.
We're committed to making RuneScape the best game and community it can possibly be. We've recently overhauled our development approaches to bring player feedback into the heart of our content development, leading us to announcing almost 12 months of upcoming content inspired by your feedback.
Alongside investing in delivering great content every month, we're also investing in exciting long-term impact projects too - like our New Area Expansion, our early technical exploration of a RuneScape API and continued account security improvements via Jagex Accounts. We have so much to be excited about and cannot wait to bring this to you as we look ahead to our 25th Anniversary celebrations in 2026.
Membership pricing has been unchanged in the last 2 years despite recent global inflationary pressures. On September 27 2024, the price of Membership will be changing for Premier Membership, as well as new 6-Month and 1-Month Memberships.
If you’re already a paying Member via a monthly or 6 monthly subscription, then nothing will change, as long as your subscription remains active, we will continue to honour the same price you’re paying now as part of our “Grandfather Rate” which is explained in more detail in the FAQ below.
As was the case with Premier Club, Premier Membership will not support grandfathered rates.

FAQ: Membership Price Change
I'm already an Active Member. Will my price change on September 27th?
For existing 1 and 6-Month subscribers, any existing subscription agreement will be honoured for as long as it remains in effect. This means that you get to keep your existing price if your Membership is maintained. For example, if you are on a monthly agreement to pay $12.49, you will continue to pay that amount if you maintain your subscription and do not lapse for more than 14 days. We call this a "Grandfather Rate".
For existing Premier subscribers, your Membership price will change when your subscription is due for renewal. For example, if your current subscription is due to renew on December 18th, it will renew onto the new prices as listed above on December 18th.
When will prices for new Memberships change?
The prices of new Membership plans will be changing on September 27, 2024.
Can I still buy Membership with Bonds, and will the cost be changing?
Yes. Existing Membership options through Bonds will continue to be available. The cost will not be changing.
What will happen to my existing ‘grandfathered’ Membership rate?
We will continue to honour existing ‘grandfathered’ rates for 1 Month and 6 Month subscriptions provided your subscription is maintained and doesn’t lapse for more than 14-days.
As mentioned above, Premier Membership does not support grandfathered rates so will be subject to price changes; If your Premier Membership expires, any previous 'grandfathered' rates for 1 and 6 Month subscriptions will still apply providing a new subscription is started within 14 days.
Why is the Price change for Premier Membership different to 1 and 6 month Membership?
Premier Membership remains our best-value offer with a significant discount over subscribing monthly, and it still offers a discount equivalent to 4 months or more vs a monthly subscription in the majority of currencies.
We have reduced the discount of Premier Membership vs Subscribing monthly to bring Premier Membership to a more sustainable level to account for rising development costs.
My region’s price changes seem to not be at the same rate as other regions. Why are there differences?
One of the reasons for the pricing change is to account for currency fluctuations since our last price update. These fluctuations are why the changes vary from currency to currency, with some currencies even receiving a price reduction.
