RuneScape's monthly membership now costs as much as a World of Warcraft subscription as Jagex announces its second price hike in less than 2 years

A low-poly Old School RuneScape man stares ahead, dejected.

Update: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that World of Warcraft features customizable player housing while RuneScape doesn't. RuneScape has in fact offered player housing since 2006. Corrected story follows.RuneScape developer Jagex announced earlier today that it is once again increasing the price of RuneScape memberships. Effective today, the price of a monthly membership subscription has increased from $13.99 to $14.99 per month while the price of an annual membership has increased from $99.48 to $131.88 per year.It's the second RuneScape membership price hike in less than 2 years, following the previous much-criticized pricing change Jagex implemented in September 2024 after its sale to private equity firms earlier that year. Players who have maintained an active monthly membership with a grandfathered rate from before the September 2024 price increase will be able to continue that membership at the lower monthly rate.
