Members Loyalty Programme

The Members Loyalty Programme was released on 28 June 2011. It was first announced in the Behind of the Scenes of June 2011.<ref name="BTS">Mod Mark. "Behind the Scenes - June". 01-Jun-2011. RuneScape News. *</ref> Loyalty Points are an additional reward for being a Member of RuneScape. Players with pending or existing subscriptions will receive Loyalty Points for their remaining days of membership, but will not earn these points for the days before the actual update. On the release date of the Loyalty Programme, players were given a discount on most items in the rewards shop for a limited amount of time.<ref name="FAQ">Mod Nexus. "Members Loyalty Program FAQ". 1 June 2011. Future updates Forums. *</ref>

Loyalty Points can be spent on a various range of rewards, including emotes, costumes, and items for the new Aura slot.<ref name="BTS"></ref> All rewards are simply cosmetic, except the auras which enhance gameplay in many different aspects. Concurrent members accumulate points at a higher rate than the players who only subscribe occasionally, so that the very loyal players can earn their rewards faster.<ref name="FAQ"></ref><ref>Mod Nexus. "Register for Loyalty...". 1 June 2011. Future updates Forums. *</ref> Items, emotes, costumes, colour changes and titles can be bought from Xuan east of the Warrior's Guild in Burthorpe or in Varrock Square.

Loyalty Points accrue more quickly the longer a player has membership. For the first month, players receive 500 points. The next month, they will get 3,000, then 5,000 the next, followed by 7,000. From there it increases by 1,000 per month, to finally, after a year's continuous subscription, stop at 15,000 points per month. There is a 7 day grace period in which to continue to subscribe, at which point the number of points per month will drop down to the amount from two months ago (eg. if a player subscribes for 6 months and then waits 10 days to resubscribe, he/she would get points for the 4th month). If players do not re-subscribe after 30 days, they will drop down to 500 points for the month they next subscribe.

As revealed in the December 2011 BTS, there was a 12 Days of Christmas event between 25 December 2011 and 5 January 2012, wherein players were able to earn 500 points on each day that they logged into a members world (if signed up to the Loyalty Programme), for a total of 6,000 points if they logged in on each of the twelve days.

The following table shows how many points are earned, when the player is a member for an 'x' amount of months.

Number of consecutive months	Points earned	Total points earned
1	500	500
2	3,000	3,500
3	5,000	8,500
4	7,000	15,500
5	8,000	23,500
6	9,000	32,500
7	10,000	42,500
8	11,000	53,500
9	12,000	65,500
10	13,000	78,500
11	14,000	92,500
12+	15,000	107,500

Note: the total points earned is without counting the bonus points that are given during events.

Auras

Auras improve gameplay in many different ways, including effects with Combat, Fishing, and Agility. Other auras serve no practical purpose. They all have a particle effect that glows when the aura is active. This particle effect does not show on a free-to-play server. They are equipped in the aura slot, and are activated by clicking Activate aura. All of them have an activation time, which shows how long they last, and a cooldown time, which shows how long it takes to be used again. This is clock time and still counts down even if you log out. If they are lost, they can be replaced by Xuan. Only one aura can be used at once.

Many auras designed for use in Combat cannot be used in PvP combat, only in PvM.

If you un-equip the Aura, you cannot use it again until it is recharged.

All auras that were released with the first update except for Jack of trades had a reduced price for the first two weeks, when the original price was decreased to 400 loyalty points.

Before you purchase any aura of Tier Two or Three with (a) counterpart(s) of a lower tier you must buy the lower tiered version(s) first.

Titles

Titles appear before your username in the chat box on both members and free worlds. With the exception of The Awesome, Magnificent, Undefeatable, Strange, Divine and Fallen, which all appear after the characters display name. Neither word in the title begins with a capital letter.

For the first two weeks, the price for the Sir/Dame title was reduced to 100 points, and the prices for the Lord/Lady, Duderino/Dudette and Lionheart title were reduced to 400 points. There are 16 different titles, 8 of which depend on the player's gender. Titles can be changed by talking to Xuan, and after one title has been bought it can be changed and used again for no extra charge. They may also be changed via the Customisation Interface.

Duderino could be a reference to the movie "The Big Lebowski", in which Jeff Bridges' character, Jeff Lebowski AKA The Dude, lists various things to call him, relating to the word "dude", including "duderino". It could also be a reference to the Simpsons. The character Ned Flanders says words that end in "idly" doodly" "rino" etc.

• The next time users log in after they have registered to the Members Loyalty Programme, a box is displayed, asking the players if they would like to view the shop, giving the option of being teleported to the shop in Burthorpe or Varrock centre.
• On the day of release, due to the mass popularity of the programme, the additional load on the website caused technical issues to areas of the site related to this update.
• On 6 September 2011, the mercenary leader, mercenary mage, mercenary ranger, and mercenary warrior were placed in north of Falador wearing items from the loyalty programme.
• It will take 3,168,750 points to unlock everything in the shop assuming rewards aren't purchased when they are discounted. It would take a total of 216 months or 18 years to unlock everything in the shop, assuming membership is kept running the entire time and no additional points are received from promotional events. At the current rate of $7.95 per month, this would cost $1717.20.
• The only title currently avaliable in Xuan's shop that is in a different language is "Wunderkind", which translates to "Child Prodigy" in German.
