The last time I paid a year up front, I got scammed out of that year membership without so much as a refund or even an apology. I had to wait 3 years 2006-2009 just for Mod Crow to lift my ban for mention of "YouTube".
Anyway.. on with this rant.
This is even more complete and utter bull ****.
1) "12 months membership."
I've got membership until October 2013 because they keep forcing us to buy 90 day membership for no reason just to unlock new items.
2) "One extra daily spin on Squeal of Fortune for the whole year, in addition to the usual two enjoyed by members."
I already get 60 extra spins per month per new account I pay $2 membership for PLUS 14x2 spins on the trial membership.
3) "2000 Runecoins."
Wow $5! Thanks guys! *sarcasm*
4) "A range of special cosmetic items, such as the Ornate Katana, Green Skin, Turkey Hat, Barbed Bow, Flaming Skull, Scarecrow Mask and Lightning Pack."
I own every item when they came out. So I get jacked because I was the first to buy in to your repeating bribe?
5) "Entry into a prize draw to win an all expenses paid trip for two to Jagex HQ in Cambridge, United Kingdom."
I would probably end up selling this off to a YouTuber that could make revenue on views for posting a video. I never attended RuneFest for fear I would get banned for giving you a piece of my mind on how you've failed since the retirement of Andrew Gower.
6) "A quarterly Premier Club newsletter, packed with information and offers."
Oh boy! More spam mail that I already haven't checked regarding Loyalty Programme or every single time I add more membership. Special offers like more daily Solomon and Squeal items? Oh I can't wait! *again, sarcasm*
If anything this seems like a scam to get even more money as if they already spent their Squeal of Fortune and Solomon Store budget on Evolution of Combat. And if so, I think somebody should fire their fail staff or demand a refund. Because they got ripped off, and we've lost quite a bit of friends from the game.
