#1 day membership tokens! (redeemed via bonds+)

These would be tradable and stored in the currency pouch, like bonds.
These may be purchased with IRL money, or redeemed with a bond (10).

Typically, 1 bond gives you 14 days of consecutive membership. Redeeming a bond for (10x) 1 day membership tokens will only give you 10 days of membership in total - which is 4 days less, but you have far more flexibility for when you want to play.

Some benefits:

  • Lets say you work 5 days a week and literally don't have time to play until the weekend. This option is for you!
  • A player has many accounts and likes to switch between them from day-to-day, depending on which he feels like playing on.
  • A player wants his F2P friend to play with him on P2P for an afternoon, but doesn't want to fork out 136m! With this option it's only 13.6m!
  • A player wants to play with his group of 10? friends for a day - 1 bond can take care of that! Otherwise, they might decide not to get membership at all, since 2 weeks is a huge waste.
  • Personally, I often use the 1 day membership via mobile payment options.
    I'd prefer to use my in-game wealth to fund this, but it's not currently possible.

Would you like to be able to play for a day using GP?

This would directly hurt their profits ie: bad and never gonna happen

(Obviously it is a great idea for the player)

why does jagex allow 1 day membership purchases with mobile, then? it's a similar concept 🤔

To me it seems fine especially since there is the conversion rate of 2 weeks down to 10 days but idk how it would affect the business side of jagex

Perhaps instead of 10x 1days they could have it split into (3x) 3day untradable bonds That way jagex will still keep making decent money but the players can have a bit more freedom of when they play

It's kinda bs they allow 1 day p2p on mobile but not for pc... I think they should add a 1 day p2p token in ge wich u can also buy in the store on the homepage... Make it also like 1 euro a day and nake it tradeable?

One day membership models are never going to happen

#

Any membership game needs consistent membership

then why do it on phone and not on desktops?

I think op more cares about the ability to buy it with in game currency. I believe they state that the phone version is irl money only

# torn pendant because you're paying $2 for 1 day. they make much more money doing that than th...

It's $1.49 for me, but I get your point. As mentioned in the scenario though - some people might choose not to get membership at all with the current inflexible 2 week option.
It's hard to judge whether or not they'd make more or less, but they could further reduce the amount of 1-day membership tokens that a bond converts to, such as 7.
7 1-day memberships vs 14 consecutive days of membership for example.

exactly lol

and tbh, i have never paid so much for membership (before the 1 day option became a thing) because i used to just keep putting membership off, as i'm too busy and it would be a waste
