Premier Club

Membership Packages are enhanced membership subscriptions that were available during December 2012 and 2013. Benefits included discounts from Solomon's General Store to the new Paladin armour and exclusive beta access over the course of 2013. These packages came in three tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

The 2012 packages began sale on 20 December 2012 through 4 February 2013. The 2013 packages will begin sale on 3 December 2013 and can be purchased through bonds and traditional methods.

Controversy
Some controversies arose when the packs were announced:
 * According to some players, they would have to pay more money for membership once the Packages membership time ran out, even if they were paying less before (grandfathered in before Jagex increased the price from $5.00 USD to $5.95 USD). This angered many players who were paying only $5.00 a month, since they thought they would be paying the higher price once their Membership Package ran out. In the Premier Club FAQ thread on the forums Jagex has clarified that the price you pay will not change, you will be able to continue with the same subscription price after the 3, 6 or 12 months.
 * For the players who bought Gold Membership, the vanity items were not added if they already had some or all of the items. Some players viewed this as a waste of money, and voiced concern that the recently-released Bloodpouncer pet should have been added as well.
 * Jagex had said that the vanity items would disappear forever, making them rare items and only obtainable from Gold membership. However a couple of months later Jagex released some of the vanity items on the Solomon General store; players who used a keepsake key on a Flaming Skull were not refunded which led to some negative feedback threads about the Gold Premium Package on the RuneScape Forums.
