Hey guys!

I was wondering how many people here are actually premium members.

I was thinking about if it would be worth it or not to get..

Any ideas?

Thanks!

seems like you are paying more for some cosmetic items…

10% discount on all items in Solomon’s General Store.
One extra daily spin on Squeal of Fortune for the whole year, in addition to the usual two enjoyed by members.
Priority access to any and all RuneScape closed betas in 2013.
A full set of Paladin Armour cosmetic overrides, with body and leg armour, boots, a helmet, a paladin blade and paladin shield.
2000 Runecoins.
A range of special cosmetic items, such as the Ornate Katana, Green Skin, Turkey Hat, Barbed Bow, Flaming Skull, Scarecrow Mask and Lightning Pack.

Yeah, but I heard there is more to it that is behind the scenes… Wasnt sure.. So I decided to ask.

I was last year, the premium club is probably not really worth it. You get a little "insider scoop" kinda email once every 3-4 months but they were always available to be seen or read on the actual forums or on youtube videos so its not worth it for that. The cosmetics I recived were kinda worthless, only one I use is the green skin. You get almost no in game advantage except for 3 spins on the SOF (Squeel of fortune) and I recieved 2000 Runecoins, but I don't see that offered this year either. Last year it was $75 this year I think its $85 or $87 and with the $3.95 membership deal that was available during the holidays it definitely didn't make sense for me to spend nearly double what it cost me for a full year for some cosmetics and a few spins. Access to the betas was nice, but I never really used them because I was still in the process of getting my Comp cape at the time and because there was no other incentive to actually use the betas other than to use gear that I couldnt use in the live game (Torva/virtus ect).

TLDR: Its not worth it and wait to get a deal on membership either via holiday sale on it or through RSGP

I wouldn't, not much is being given.

Worth it if you buy with bonds….

I would recommend to buy P2P with RSGP using bonds :).
From the posts said above, i think its clear its worthless!.

Won't be buying Premium or paying for P2P with my real life money ever again ^-^. .

Agreed. Never going to go to seven eleven, just to buy those RS Cards. :p

If you plan on playing for more than a year its definatly worth it, what made it worth it for me was the extra loyalty points (150k)for auras but I haven't been a member for long.

I don't buy more than 3 months at a time so that in the odd chance that I get banned (bless your soul {my account}), I don't get caught with my pants down and $80 in the hole.
