During first quarter of 2015, the price of membership will increase for new members and those who've been unsubscribed for longer than 14 days. While we haven’t finalised the date for the increase or the exact pricing yet, we wanted to let you know about this well in advance.

If you're a member when the price rise happens, you'll see no change. You'll stay at your price as long as your active membership started before the date of the price rise. This applies for all previous grandfather rates, for those of you who've been subscribed for a long time.

Should your membership end, you'll keep any lower price you're eligible for, as long as you resubscribe within 14 days. After that, though, you'll be moved to the new price.

Premier Club sign-ups will open from 1st of December, which offer a great way to lock in your membership price and pick up a massive pack of rewards while you're at it.

We've got big plans for RuneScape in 2015, as Mod Mark showed you at RuneFest, and we'll be putting more power than ever into your hands - developing your most popular ideas as content updates.

First and foremost, our aim is to keep giving you awesome RuneScape content, and the very best value for your membership.

Time to buy 30 mem pins before they go up in price

Guess we will be seeing more and more micro-transactions as well.

Any guesstimates on what the new prices will be?

Thank-god they're doing the Premier Club again

sad..

edit: they should release seperate osr/rs3 membership, now osr players can pay for all the rs3 bs.

Its sorta funny, it hasn't been all that long since they increased it from the original price, should we expect this every few years from now on? Its annoying since one of the original draws to Runescape was how much cheaper membership was compared to some of the big MMO's. Perhaps this is the negative effect of letting people use in-game wealth to buy membership

We're getting into the first quarter a bit, I'm curious when this will actually happen, and wondering what people think the impact will be.

I'm curious as to how this will effect the price of bonds.

I've been subscribed for a while so thankfully this doesn't affect me. Looking to make a quick buck you could buy a bunch of pins and sell them when the price goes up.
