members have enough benefits as-is. They're supposed to be little perks for donating, not auto OP over non-mems.

Members have always been auto OP no matter what, lul

Same with every single game you can spend irl money on.

People I trust (like, enough to give login info)
-Speedy-
Yz
MedChill
Exp (if she still played )

Friends (Way too many to count, but I'll try):
Roy
Joe
OG Headstrong
Baggie
CK
FalseProphet
-eXe-
Rage
Cooky
Blitz/epic/whatever he goes by now
Vish
Scorp

(I trust all these ppl, but not enough to give login info^)

One of the best things would be to lower the non member cap, but at this point that's prolly a very bad idea cause ppl are already used to having rt1, and I'm guessing they wouldn't take very kindly to having that taken away from them. It's a very sticky situation

Maybe nerf rt1 slightly and add a new member set that's marginally better than rt1? Orrrrr maybe a better/easier solution is members could have full rt1 stats while non-mems have nerfed stats (maybe nerfed down to 1.5x 219 survival armor stats, vs 2x like it is atm)

Just trying to brainstorm

Yeah robo, I was saying to add new OP items, I don't think that would be a good idea. Members just need some new perks is all....

I like your idea about making stuff tradeable as member :3

There's not many players so there's no point in getting more member benefits. It's a waste of time.

I'm not sure you know how business works.....lol

The more appealing membership is the more people will buy it
The more people buy it, the more money zg gets
The more money zg the more resources they have for things such as advertisement
Advertisement = more players.

Not sure that zg would bother advwrtising even if they had the resources, but just pointing out the flaw in your logic. Not caring about the members that you do have isn't the best way to get more members...

Gz on 700m exp Baggie

I only just now found out about it, but jagex cleaned out a lot of old inactive character names, which frees them up for changing your name to. I was able to change my name to "Thornz" finally :0

I'm willing to trade a v3 and/or a 1 million use RB pack for gold and rares on RS3.

Please leave offers below or pm me.

No point in wasting time with hardly any players.

I disagree, with improved content the game could bring back some of the older players and even more new ones.

Such as myself...

this could be moved to suggestions, so people can come up with ideas..

purple text is cool , and it was voted back into game.
5 stashs is good and useful

but i don't care about (e) parts xD

and they was talking about a membership shop or something 3months ago? or longer..

i don't think we need more benefits.
but what could be the benefits?

Idk, but I brought this up because members used to have many more benefits than they do know, and I've seen a lot of ppl not bother to pay for mems because there aren't enough benefits. I personally don't care and I'm happy with the way it is, but the more people that buy mems, the more support zg gets.

Here are some facts:

1. Members used to get coins every week (I'm glad this got removed for economy purposes, but was still an attractive benefit)
2. There used to be 4-5 member only sets: Dark, Dusk, Elektra, 219 survival, rt1 (rt1 came much later, but was originally member only). There is now only 1, that takes a long time to get.
3. The best experience used to only be attainable by members (219, rt1, etc.), making membership HIGHLY desired. Now everyone gets cap exp on 258, making the double exp that members get, as well as the increased level cap, almost useless.
4. The only benefit of having an increased level cap is that you can obtain rt2 armor, but a good majority of players are not skilled enough for this, and/or don't have people willing to help.
5. Member flags used to be the absolute best flag in the game, but now reaper flags are a comparable substitute.
6. All OP items (except member flags) are useable by both members and non-members, which is how it has always been, but it definitely makes non-members able to have just as much power as members, further lowering the desire for membership.


At this point, I'm not sure what could be done about the existing system to make it better without pissing ppl off and making ppl quit (such as lowering non-mem cap so that rt1 becomes member only, making several of the OP items member only, etc.). The only real option is to add some good new member content, but it sounds as though the member shop won't be added for quite some time.

I believe we need some additional member benefits to attract more members, since the list of benefits we have atm is a bit small:

In game benefits:

1. Members can gain up to a max level of 270, where as non-members can only reach a max level of 225.
2. Members can wear all items up to level 270, including member exclusive items (such as certain flags and Elite (E) armor that non-members cannot use.)
3. Members are able to use 5 stashes instead of the non-member amount of 3.
4. Members have 3% (300) more luck.
5. Members gain double the amount of experience than a non-members.
6. Members have the ability to change their in-game name (IGN) with the name changer.
7. Members have a purple-ish in-game text, when talking in the lobby.


These are the useless benefits:

Luck is nice, but most people don't even notice the difference, especially when playing in a room full of other people that have boosted luck.

Elite parts are cool, but purely cosmetic for high leveled players

The only set that is member only (besides elite sets) is rt2, and it is not guaranteed that you will receive this set if you become a member.

Purple text is cool, but again purely cosmetic

IGN changer is nice, but a snowball lets you change name without having to pay for an entire month of mems for anyone who just wants to name change.


The only benefits that are actually worth anything are:

1. Increased level cap (270)
2. RT2 set
3. Member flags (although reaper flags are pretty much just as good, and are available for non-mems)
4. Extra stashes (and this one isn't really that great. Many are willing to do without the extra inventory space)


I think we need a longer list
