Reason: New batch of Members' Loyalty Programme rewards on September 21th, 2011.
You can help improve this page by editing it.


The Members Loyalty Programme was released on 28 June 2011. It was first announced in the Behind of the Scenes of June 2011[1]. 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[2].

Loyalty Points can be spent on a various range of rewards, including emotes, costumes, and items for the new Aura slot.[1]. 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.[2][2] [3]. Items, emotes, costumes, colour changes and titles can be bought from Xuan in Burthorpe or Varrock.

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, they would get points for the 4th month). If a player does not resubscribe after 30 days, they will drop down to 500 points a month the next time they subscribe.

Auras

Main article: 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. 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 count down even if you log out. If they are lost, they can be replaced by Xuan. Only one aura can be used at once.

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

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

Outfits

There are eight outfits that can be bought from Xuan, costing 1000 or 2000 points. All parts of the outfit are bought at once. Only the Dervish Outfit give any benefits - it protects from desert heat. The colours can be changed by talking to Xuan and asking for a new colour.

For the first two weeks after the release, the prices for the outfits were decreased. The dervish outfit's price was reduced to 100 points, and the other outfits cost 400 points.

Titles

Titles appear before your username in the chat box on both members and free worlds.

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.

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.

Duderino could be a reference to the Simpsons. The character Ned Flanders says words that end in "idly" doodly" "rino" etc. It could also 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".

  • The next time users log in after they have registered to the Members Loyalty Programme, a box is
    Mercenary leader

    The mercenary leader near Falador, seen here with the Dervish outfit.

    displayed, asking the player if they would like to view the shop, allowing players to be teleported to the shop in Burthorpe.
  • 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.
  • In the first membership loyalty rewards batch, the rewards total up to 318,750 points when they are not discounted.
  • Although it is the only outfit to have an effect, the Dervish outfit was the cheapest, while they were on sale.
  • 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. This could be an advertising on the part of Jagex, or a hint at a future update.
  • In the second membership loyalty rewards batch, the reward total up to 390,750 points. It will take 709500 points to unlock everything in the shop assuming rewards aren't purchased when they are discounted. It would take 54 months or 4 years 6 months to unlock everything in the shop.
