Jagex valued the Bloodpouncer pet as $35USD. This has not been included in the calculation.

Premier Club 2013[edit | edit source]

• The Bronze premier club is worth $21.95USD + Cosmetics
• The Silver premier club is worth $97.35USD (approx.) + Cosmetics & other benefits
• The Gold premier club is worth $212.60USD (approx.) + Cosmetics & other benefits

Historical[edit | edit source]

Premier Club was first released in 2012 and came in three tiers: Bronze (3 months), Silver (6 months), and Gold (12 months), however, in 2021 this was changed to only an annual package. Originally, Premier Club was only available for purchase during a few months out of the year, typically between November and March. On 4 May 2022 the existing regular annual membership package was renamed to Premier Membership and updated to include the benefits of Premier Club.^[5]

Forum badges[edit | edit source]

In 2019 and previous years, when Gold Premier Club Membership was purchased and activated, the Gold Premier Club Member forum badge would automatically appear underneath a player's avatar image in forum threads, and replaced the regular Member badge , or lack of badge in the case of new or returning members. Starting with the 2020 package, the Gold Premier Member forum badge was discontinued. Premier Members now show the same regular Member badge as players with standard package subscriptions.

Controversy[edit | edit source]

Some controversies arose when the premier club was announced:

• According to some players, they would have to pay more money for membership once the premier club membership time ran out, even if they were paying less before (grandfathered in before Jagex increased the price from $5.00 USD to $5.95 USD). This angered many players who were paying only $5.00 a month, since they thought they would be paying the lower price once their premier club ran out. In the Premier Club FAQ thread on the forums Jagex has clarified that the price you pay will not change, you will be able to continue with the same subscription price after the 3, 6 or 12 months.^[6]
• For the players who bought Gold premier club, the vanity items were not added if they already had some or all of the items. Some players viewed this as a waste of money, and voiced concern that the recently-released Bloodpouncer pet should have been added as well. This appears to be rectified as of 22 October 2013.
• Jagex had said that the vanity items would disappear forever, making them rare items and only obtainable from Gold membership. However a couple of months later Jagex released some of the vanity items on the Solomon General store; players who used a keepsake key on a Flaming Skull were not refunded which led to some negative feedback threads about the Gold premier club on the RuneScape Forums.
