I too would like to see some ****ideration for those of us that are recurring monthly members. I see tons of new items introduced with the purchase of gamecards which some players will buy only for the items they'd receive and only remain a member for the length of time those cards provide (and I'm not knocking those members, they pay what they can when they can.)

However, I and many other members like me have faithfully paid our dues every month with a recurring membership (so you have a steady influx of cash rather than the stop-and-go payments made by other members) and can't get access to these items unless we pay even MORE money for a card we don't actually need, since our membership automatically renews each month.

I feel the loyalty points and the items offered in the loyalty shop can't compare to the things the gamecards offer. Perhaps in the future you could offer some of the gamecard only items in the loyalty shop for loyalty points, or the ability to purchase wheel spins/solomon's store items for loyalty points? Something so that those of us who don't actually need to purchase gamecards for our memberships aren't always left out of the cool loot.

I've played runescape for almost ten years now, and have been a paid member off and on within that time, but I feel that my membership is meaning less and less to those who are supposed to be enticing me to remain a member.

The sheer irony of this frightened me.

Just yesterday I had thought of Jagex making a second tier of membership. The higher tier would have access to restricted areas, but would have to pay more (similar to members now, but now "average" members don't get the benefit). The reason for thinking about this is because Jagex has been seeking more ways of making money in the past few years and this would definitely do it at the cost of the player-base and overall happiness existing members without money.

This "Premium Club" stuff made me feel that idea materialized into real life. I'm thanking God right now that it's not at extreme as my image yesterday, but some aspects ARE there such as the lack of access to new Betas.

I'm posting this as a show of my own thoughts, not the thoughts of the entire community. I'm really scared about what's happening to Runescape. I've realized the community has turned into *** talk and insults, and no one seems to care for other peoples' achievements. I feel like now Jagex is in on trying to rip Runescape apart even if it's not their aim to. It's all for money now. Not trying to attack, but it is.

I's using the third person for "Jagex" because they won't read this. In case anyone was wondering.

I'm another of the loyal customers who have the old price, and these packages cost more money for us than we are currently paying. Please give us either a cost reduction or additional membership for these packages; if we are loyal enough for a cost reduction per month, we're also loyal enough for a cost reduction per year.

edit: and another vote for bank space in the loyalty shop.

They aren't just giving 2012 cosmetics, the ornate katana, green skin and turkey hat all originate from 2011. With the gold package do you also get the golden scythe, ice mask, golden katana?

I'll be getting money for christmas and you can be sure as hell I'm going to spend it in Gold.

Also, how long will we be able to access the previous beta versions? Until the membership expires?
