RuneScape Premier Club
Quick find code: 294-295-113-64148397
im so glad i did not buy this premier club. the combat update they did on the 14th ruined the game for me. before eoc i never had to use food for slayer. i was glad that they put regenerate in the game it made it to where i didnt need food for slayer. but the combat update they released on the 14th made npc stronger and regenerate 20% weaker. now when i do slayer, if its a little bit of a hard task, i need to bank for food about 20 times or more a task. its like they did not think it through. why did they not make food better sence they made npc stronger and regenerate 20% weaker?
i was going to buy this premier club on the 31st, even though i did not like it, so i would not be at a disadvantage but after this combat update on the 14th im so glad i did not get it yet. the game is ruined for me now.
i feel sad for anyone who is locked in for a year now

The answer to your question regarding the expiry date is quite simple *** has 2 vectors.
#1 - By limiting the time in which something is available Jagex creates "panic" buying to those who don't want to "miss out" on what might be a bargain. This is a typical marketing ploy (oops... tool) used my many corporations to fleece (err... gain market share from) their current *ubscribers/customers.
#2 - Jagex has many updates planned and they know the dates of release. Some updates will be more controversial than others (and they likely know which ones). I suspect a controversial update is coming shortly after the expiry date of this offer. This allows them to lock in the cash flow removing the unpredictable nature of monthly subscribers with the ability to rage-quit thus reducing the cash-flow Jagex depends on for their livelihood.
Summary:
Overall the strategy of time limited "offers" provides a known cash-flow from which the corporation can budget upcoming projects/initiatives. They need to know how much they have to spend on staff parties, executive bonuses and possibly even throw a few pence at the development team to create more bug-infested content. That takes time and energy you know.... As we all know time is money and paying the energy bill is rarely free....
Be prepared for something that will really anger a bunch of players once that expiry date comes around. Jagex will either make more stuff exclusive to only those that bought the package, or they will screvv them over in royal fashion with updates they do not like. Either way, it will be amusing to sit back and watch.
It is much like a slow motion train wreck watching Jagex implode like this. Me? I am going to grab a comfy chair, a bucket of popcorn (okay for those that know me it is really a pudding cup) and enjoy the fireworks. I am not buying this package lol.
