Limited 14 Day RuneScape Members Trial


[UPDATE: THE TRIAL APPEARS TO BE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, CLICK HERE]

Earlier this month, I talked about how now that Jagex has rid the game of the more troublesome bots, a limited members trial sounds far more feasible. After all, while the free version of RuneScape offers an overwhelming amount of content, the two games are segregated at a level where a subscription should be experienced rather than teased. Granted, I didn’t think Jagex would already have had something in the works.

While there hasn’t been an official announcement, players are reporting that newly created free accounts are being offered 14 days free membership with certain limitations. The details right now are foggy, given most of my information is coming from questionable sources, but the trial appears to be limited to new accounts only, and the trial may be region-restricted. My sources in the UK were the only ones to receive the below message upon creating a new account, while those in US, Canada, and Germany were unable to.

Today is Sunday, so it is possible that Jagex will have some sort of formal announcement this week. For now, however, the trial doesn’t seem to be fully rolled out.

  1. so sir i want free trail for 14 days in runescape . i hope u give me the trail for 14 days

  3. I wish they would give the older members the 14 days. For real, we’ve slaved years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds over this website.
    I know I sound whiny, but websites only treat the new players well nowadays.

    1. I agree.

      I’ve expressed my disappointment in the past that once a game is out for a while these developers have a habit of treating the potential new community better than their current community. If you haven’t seen them, the Ally Bank commercial does put it best.

  6. I tried to use my free trial today, and nothing changed about my account. I’m pissed.
