Members object

Profile
Members object is the term given to any item that can only be used on a Member world. If you see one on a Free-to-play world, its name becomes "Members object" and it can't be traded. If it's already equipped the player will still have it equipped on the free world, but if it's removed it can't be put back on until once again on a member world. It also loses any bonuses. Members items used to be held as if they were unarmed, now they are held properly, but are still counted as unarmed. For example, the Barrelchest anchor no longer looks like a large pickaxe, but is held in both hands. Many people keep the items mostly for the purpose of gloating. Also, there are certain glitches that are amusing when used on a non-member's world.

Destroyable items such as the Barrelchest anchor, despite having the "drop" option, will still bring up a message asking if you want the item to get destroyed, and will perform accordingly.

High alching
Members objects used to be high alched. Because their value was worth much more in F2P, high alching members objects was a fast and easy way to make money. However, Jagex realised this and banned everyone who abused this bug, and fixed it. You can no longer high alch members items on free to play worlds.

King's message
The item king's message, although only obtainable on pay-to-play world, untradable, and starts Regicide (a pay-to-play quest), can be read on a free world, and will not appear as a "members object".

Cleaning cloth
There used to be a glitch where when in a F2P world, use a Karamjan Rum with a piece of silk will create a member's object. What it creates on a P2P world is called a cleaning cloth. This glitch is since fixed. Also, when cooked potatoes were first released, free players could cook them, yielding a members

Magic Unguent
There used to be a glitch where free players who had started the "Purple Cat" miniquest could solve the puzzle and get the Magic Unguent, which would be a "Members object". This glitch was fixed, and Lottie now says

Stealing creation
There was another glitch created when Stealing Creation was released. You talked to the Head Mystic, and he would give you a Stealing Creation cape and the Stealing Creation music track on a free world, but you would not be inside the minigame. You could go anywhere, but you could not take the cape off because a message appeared saying that "You can not take this object off during the minigame." This glitch was quickly fixed in a system update.

Dropping A Members Object
On 16 January 2009 there was a glitch where you couldn't drop a Members Object. There were only two options to choose, use and examine. The only way to lose a Members Object that day was to get skulled and die or have an item of greater value and die. This glitch was fixed the next day.

Trivia
