Exciting times ahead ๐Ÿ™‚ Glad we have the clan noticeboard working again as well!

Just used up my last free daily key. Definitely feels a bit bittersweet.

mint crown
#

Sad that earlier Premier Keys are capped at 365. I feel a little scammed

peak turtle
#

Give us access to heartments store with oddments

#

And all other limited time currency stores

mint crown
#

Aaaand I only got 200 keys. For 1.25 Years of premier

#

I see minimum spec requirements were also updated. Although I don't use MacOS much, would be nice to see an RS3 client optimized for the new M-chip Macs ๐Ÿ™‚

Seems they forgot to give me my keys ๐Ÿ™

Do you automatically get the keys?

If you renewed after November 12 you dnt get any

Scam

Mine is from August

#

and I still got none

I renewed in June

I did renewed before nov and no keys

renemed in october, only got 200

Almost nobody should get 365, would be really rare to have it reknew on the exact date

Didnt get a single key

#

My premier was in july

Be patient. They are rolling out

It will take time

My premier goes to April 1 2027. That should be before the annoucement

Note: The update has only just dropped, but as there's only a week - I figure there's some urgency in this request (not a complaint) and I'm not after a discussion here.

Please could you further expand the options in the new oddments cosmetics store to include Yak track cosmetics. I'd rather spend all the oddments I've accumulated after 5.8 on cosmetics I've missed over the years than introduce additional GP into the game.

Thanks in advance!

polar turret
#

I really doubt they can get that done in time

peak turtle
#

I was hoping the heartments store stock too

#

It too many people have already cashed in their oddments

spring moss
#

Did they decide not to remove the Prem Artifact or is that a next week removal? I still have mine

polar turret
#

yes that is on the 19th

umbral sand
#

I thought prem artefact was sticking around for now as part of the 'undecided' list. Shall double check the list.

havent gotten any keys and they took the ones i had today as well, i bought premiers way before they announced the removal

jade vessel
unique bough
#

They are going to talk about longer term premier changes in coming weeks

hot sedge
#

why only 200 keys seems weird when over 1 year premier left

cursive sphinx
#

any news on why existing keys were removed today with the update?

wild trench
cursive sphinx
#

and why some premier members werent given any keys even though they had purchased premiers before the announcement of removal of treasurehunter

wild trench
#

so i assumed i would get all of the keys one they are no longer daily

#

every one who bought before januaryt 12 should get them

livid mesa

as it feels slimy and corpo

i was like ogg no more keys after the 12th atleast i will get them as i paided full price for primer and it was not half off or anytthing as that is a lot of money in keyts 365 keys is like 90$ usd

livid mesa
#

the "bonus" is simply people getting what they're owed because they bought premier before the removal was announced

faint spear
jade vessel
#

ok but now is kinda hard to justify the prem price if theres nothing with it

wild trench
#

but it wsa the same price

#

so i was like ohh i will get those keys

One of my least favourite things to deal with in accounts. XD

livid mesa
#

it's not on Jagex if you didn't read that and now regret the purchase

hazy oxide
wild trench
#

as it's the right thing to do give every one keys who bought from 12th janury and even up untill 19th

wild trench
#

in keys

faint spear

#

so im guessing for people after the 12th will get what ever replaces the keys?

#

say 80 to 90$ in the new bonus XP system?

#

You bought it well knowing you dont get keys and now you are whining?

wild trench
#

i assume no more keys as in i will get them asi paid for them

#

but i only learned when i read the full FAQ

#

that only people who bought before november 12 get the full value of what they paid for

hazy oxide
#

"assume" there is your mistake, why assume anything?, read the news, they posted about it multiple times

mint crown
#

No more keys means keys for you?

livid mesa
#

this is 100% on you, blackwing

polar turret
#

You aren't losing anything because the keys were just extra, the cost of premier was the membership subscription, which you got a discount on.

wild trench
#

i care about the value

if I order chicken wings I won't assume I get 3 extra just cause someone else did 2 days ago

I already stared they are going to look into the longer term premier stuff and talk about it in coming weeks. But thats now drowned well back message wise now when it was originally closely shown.

wild trench
#

it said additional keys will be provided untill the 12th

#

as in all you additional keys

#

so i assumed on the 12th i would get all of the other keys

dusk pulsar
#

the 1 additional per day you get for premier, you get that one each day

hazy oxide
#

he's the 1 whining when everyone else understands lol

#

see again, you 'assume"

wild trench
#

not assume

livid mesa
#

it does not say "all", do not claim it does

wild trench
#

how i understood the wording to the best of my rational neurdovergant mind

plain egret
#

Additional โ€œDAILYโ€ key

wild trench
#

alkso why art people fighting so hard aginst what would be morally right thing to do?

hazy oxide
wild trench
#

the morally righ tthingto do would be even what ever the sub text says

livid mesa
#

because you're claiming Jagex is bad for an assumption you wrongfully made

mint crown
#

You cant read I assume

unique bough
#

Because you're arguing as a fact, not as a moral

wild trench
#

give the person the value they are missing out on

livid mesa

#

Because the warning is right there and you decided to still purchase it

wild trench
#

as i said im neurodivergant

#

i interptid the world differntlyt

hazy oxide
#

and jagex has answered you here and yet you still whine.

livid mesa
#

that doesn't put the blame on Jagex

mint crown
#

You get keys till the 12th. Thats whats stated there. Nothing else

cursive sphinx

this is trolling

#

Perhaps, before making a considerable purchase in future, you may consider seeking clarification from a responsible and trusted party.

wild trench
#

but dont get them daily

polar turret
#

Do you understand "apply for a refund"?

wild trench
#

i did i read it carefully considered it for around 2 hours

whole plover
#

Or you may approach Jagex's team with a refund request.

wild trench
#

and i understood it as you dont get daily keys after the 12th but get all ofthose keys you would of got daily in one big lump sum

hazy oxide
#

he's just trolling now, hes been told multiple times but still says the same thing like a broken record.

wild trench

that is literally how i understood it as i said im neurodivergant

not trolling that is how i understood that text

As this is looping into off topic territory lets go ahead and drop this as all sides have been properly answered

This keeps going around in circles. You said what you needed to say, please drop it as Sudo asked

but yes who do i talk to to get my keys? as i wish to have some help resolving this potato ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

the mod person cvan i pm them? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

who was it mod azanna? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

livid mesa
#

No, you will not get your keys as we told you, drop it

ium curioous why so? i only wish for a partial refund of 50% to cover the lost value in my keys ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

how i do that?

Follow the instructions on the page I linked

I hope all of the oddment store cosmetics become available by other means ๐Ÿ’”

where is my option to exchange oddments to stars?!?!?

I was saving them to exchange to bxp

well, that's needs to be reverted

oddment removal is scheduled in a week, not a week early

it isn't going to be reverted

no-no, I am not asking if it should reverted, I am saying it must be reverted

#

Pure and utter nonsense ๐Ÿคฆ

crisp depot
#

I was also under the assumption I would be getting prem keys (I renewed on the 31st of Dec) - Had I been aware of not getting the lump sum keys I wouldn't have bought premier and instead bought a lesser time (6mo/3mo vs 1y of prem) and also some extra keys. I was staying up to recieve them so I could just be done with it and was chatting with a friend when they pointed out I shouldn't be getting any.

Good riddance with TH, but man the Oddement shop is really disappointing. I didn't buy any of them during the weekly rotation bc none of them are my fancy, but now that's all that's being offered. Seems a slap in the face to the people stocking up 100k+ oddements

#

Past that, Don't get me wrong, the capes are nice and appreciated for Jan. I'll take the good updates where I can get them. But it would have been such an easy, good PR move to take the survey results about cosmetics the other month and open the oddement shop with some of the more desirable cosmetics. But instead it's the same garbage that's been there for years

mint crown
#

And nothing else was stated... All cosmetics from the rotations

viscid cradle
#

funny thing that GP is listed under "consumables", while no consumables are supposed to be available

polar turret
#

said cosmetic shop will be open on the 19th, but obviously not for the currency that you accumulated in spades for free

oblique minnow
#

Hopefully we will learn what changes are coming to premier this week (besides what is being removed)

All hype is towards next Monday it seems. Let us hope it is a good one

timber maple
#

Why was the option to filter boss buffs removed? Now you've got one catrgory that arbitrarily cant be filtered.

#

Rather odd change just like removing goblin raids notifications.

hasty haven
#

Well there goes like 40% of my bank of purchased items with irl money even dragon trinkets despite being my fav item for fashionscape... I get the changes and I understand this isn't for everyone, but we are speaking about 1000's of euro's being spend and I get nothing re-imbursed for all that is being removed? - just a year to use it all up this is a joke.

#

Also being a loyal Premier Member as I supported this game for 10+ years.

#

Honestly, I do expect some kind of payback, this is rediculous, key removal sure, but there was no info on item removal, now half my bank will be cleaned almost from cosmetics, to lucky items, to protean items, dummies, etc like what...

tall anvil
#

I renewed my Premier membership on November 3rd

I was NOT TOLD this would happen when I renewed!!!

I DID NOT vote for this!!!

This is being done TOTALLY AGAINST my will!!!

Jagex has had 61 DAYS to prepare for this day, there is NO EXCUSE for not being ready!!!

Now I'm being told that they are GOING TO REMOVE ALL MY OTHER PREMIER BENEFITS WITHOUT WARNING!!!

... and I feel I'm not receiving JUST COMPENSATION for my 20 years of LOYALITY!!!

AND YOU WANT ME TO BE PATIENT????

Didnt realize that lamps and stars were being removed form the oddments store. I would've just used my oddments on those yesterday ๐Ÿ™„ I dont need cash and I already have mosto f these cosmetics

You were given over a year of prior notice

A year? Not really.

honest urchin
polar turret
#

Items will be removed January 2027, notice was given november 2025

tall anvil

Yes, but then again, most of these items were available to obtain with the "believes" of having them at your disposal whenever you want to use it.

#

Anyone know what's going to happen to H'ordments and Heartments? I remember Jagex saying these shops would be reopened, but I must've missed any further details on when

honest urchin
#

Valentines and Halloween mostl iekly

#

likely*

polar turret
#

For the record there is a talk of a sort of reimbursement:

I have more items than I could reasonably use up in the grace period. What will you do for me?

Weโ€™re working through plans on how we could convert these items and weโ€™ll have firmer updates to share next year. Based on player requests, weโ€™re also considering a way to sink these items early โ€“ think a โ€œWell of Integrityโ€ โ€“ which may also help.

grand stag
hasty haven
#

^ that would deff help @polar turret but I do expect a 1:1 ratio of exp and being able to instant dump it myself then atleast...

#

Without gatekeeping of a timer etc

honest urchin
#

Y a know what Jagex really needs to do? Release a report next January that shows player gains and retention since this change. See if new players came and stayed and if the number of new memberships post-TH is enough to offset the loss from ending TH key sales.

polar turret
#

It would undoubtedly not be so

#

And they have implied that they don't expect it to be.

hasty haven
#

Most of these changes will often see a decrease, and rebuild in the course of years if anything.

#

Not within a year

honest urchin
#

Gonna be interesting to see how whicever company owns Jagex by that point eill react to the losses. Can't convince me that purposely losing money because the loudest mouths in the community voted to get rid of a source of cash is gonna fly in the long run

#

Also curious to see how many of those who voted even played RS3 at the time

polar turret
#

It seems you've not been keeping up with any of the communication regarding this. They expect a loss and expect to not make up for it for years, it's been pretty clearly communicated as a long-term investment into the game

livid mesa
hasty haven
#

Removing keys and such will deff be healthier in the long term

#

However I do hope I can chuck the items as eiki stated with the QA reply from jagex

delicate tangle
#

thank goodness people have to work for their xp now it feels better already

faint spear
mint crown
#

While I do believe getting rid of th is the best way... Using the term work for playing a game... Thats just wrong.

hasty haven
livid mesa
#

huh, TIL dragon trinkets have a worn visual

chrome shale
#

It's a healthy and much needed change.

#

And yes, they do.

hasty haven
#

Yes but they are on the list of being removed probably

unique bough
#

if anything removed had a visual, there's a chance they may look at what could be done about that in the future.

e.g. Lucky items. if feedback was given, for stuff like dragon trinket types as a cosmetic, then they'll more than likely have that noted to look into in the future

delicate tangle
#

do i only get a year of keys? I have member ship until Oct 2027

honest urchin
#

Well we know it wont bring many OSRS players to RS3. They have more reasons than TH to not play, as they have frequently and boisterously explained like a crossfitter in a bar. Can't imagine it would affect the number of brand new players very much. How many people came to the game and then just left because they saw TH? Probably not many. The change will probably be good for player retention to a point, but nothing life-changing. WK_Think

Keys are coming in waves. I already am at 400

#

Premier members essentially got 365 extra keys as part of the package. What did you do, buy it twice?

mint crown
#

Yoiu could buy a 6 month and a 1 year

honest urchin
#

Ah

delicate tangle
#

I only buy premier

grave knot
#

at least shouldve picked a good th theme, the current one is bad ๐Ÿ˜„

unique bough
#

the 365 stuff is mostly a clarification addition, it shouldn't normally ever exceed that amount. membership and premier benefit days can be separate

mint crown
#

Yeah, the promo is garbage

delicate tangle
#

so does anyone know if we only get 1 year worth of keys? I have bought premier multiple times in the year to keep my membership topped

honest urchin
#

I've only ever bought the year package or paid monthly. Which sucks because I should have that fancy 10 loyalty crown by now, but I forgot to change my pament card after switching banks :C

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/upcoming-treasure-hunter-changes---january-12th

  • Unspent oddments will be removed on the 19th, converted to 1 gold:oddment for non-irons. (Nothing for irons)
  • Gold conversion method will be introduced (1:250 normal, 1:100 irons) for your oddments.
  • All items in the current rotation schemes will be in it all at once
  • Consumables (Stars/Lamps/etc removed)
  • No New cosmetics added.
viscid cradle
#

That's a very odd of removing/disabling items. What's next disabling/removing proteans in a weird way or a reason months before their advertised scheduled removal?

#

and then just point to some obscure "update" ?

unique bough
#

each case will more than likely be a case-by-case ordeal. like how we can use proteans to get DXP tokens, they'll probably just remove them or give it as an alternative redemption use. just depends what

#

but you can't apply every focus for one case, to all others. so they have a catered focus for each of these things

#

they're listening to feedback, even if they may not do exactly as X group demands over Y. so they're doing rather well i'd personally say handling as many middle-grounds as they can

viscid cradle
#

Look. The changes were announced in advance with clear dates. You like it or not, but it was a clear and well defined message that TH and oddments will be removed on 19th. Expectation was that this functionality won't change until that very last date. Yes, you may add some other options (like removing limits) to make everyone happy, but this sneaky update just disregarded the advertised date.

unique bough
#

they're not adding comsumables back.

#

they stated very early on they had intentions to remove consumables where possible, from these things.

viscid cradle
#

waiting another week was too much to wait?

unique bough
#

they may not expliciutly list each and every source, but, they did state they're intending to remove them globally from sources

#

and you'll just have to accept that at this point.

viscid cradle
#

yes, and the date was Jan 19th, not 12

#

this just makes loose trust in Jagex in anything they state

mental lotus
#

Sudo here take this ๐ŸŒป

bold ermine
#

As far as i'm aware atleast.

Sneaky part is removing oddment's functionality/convertion as it always was - ability to swap it to stars, lamps, cores and etc. You could have just removed oddments today entirely and it would have same effect.

#

Didnt get any keys, premier renewed in July Gnomechildcry

unique bough
#

they're going out in batches, through the day. in increments as well if needed. so you should have them all by end of day

#

worst case if it prolongs, it'll be some tomorrow to. but it's manually being triggered in batches

#

looks like it should be all today at least so far

umbral sand
#

TH has been in Runescape for years, the sheer scale of the operation for its removal and various items connected to it is insane.

They posted on the website on the 8th that this was the case and in order to make the transition easier - the major part of the update would happen on the 12th (this update) and 19th (full TH removal).
So they did forewarn us and the communication has all been there - clearly laid out - albeit there's a lot of information to share.
Is 4 days enough with the daily limits on consumables for some players - probably not. But it isn't a sneaky update.

I wasn't around when they announced the 12th of Nov cut-off, but when I go back and see that it was announced in a clear manner. I'm rational about it and accept it's just misfortune. I could easily have gone back and read up on what I had missed. They've done their part and can't be held accountable for our lack of effort to read carefully.

Thankyou for your reply, i didnt know it was send out in waves. Spoke a few clanmembers which all got theirs so that confused me. Ill be more patient ๐Ÿ˜…

No issues about not giving any more oddments. That's fine, this is part of the change and accept that. The issue is that it was stated in a sneaky I would no longer be able to consume/convert oddments the usual way from 12th. I want to use them before 19th, but unable to do so - stars, lamps, cores and other stuff has been removed today.

again, lets not start that loop again.

you have been answered, so lets drop it.

Completely removed: Automatically trigger Regenerate
What the heck?! This is absolutely the most powerful option for new players to heal. It should 100% be in the game and on by default.

#

I know new players can still manually activate Regenerate but they will never realize it's a thing

unkempt dust
livid mesa
#

so by making it a conscious effort to turn on the auto-regen, they're at least made aware that that is how they're healing

Not just the Puzzle box, with the Relic Power Persistent Rage it doesnt automatical go off either

my Premium accounts were auto renewed, but both after November 12th. Accept it is my own fault for not realising they would not valid for bulk keys and this is still not really clear. BUT now want to stop auto renewal next time.

Free keys but zero th promo to use them cheers ๐Ÿป

#

Really frustrating that I've been on auto-renewal since Premier began, and it renews every year in December, and that means I don't get any extra keys lol.

drowsy hound
#

My premier is set to auto renew and it is after the mid November cut off so I get none. Scummy Jagex. Scummy.

May just be my last renew. We will see. This plus the cape limitโ€ฆ Great way for them to treat the loyal players who have kept this rs3 version of the game alive.

rocky lava
#

I've sent in a request form to support. The news post, despite it reading like that's the case, is slightly vague, because I didn't have a lapsed membership between November 12 and January 12. So I am going off of that, and making a complaint.

indigo mesa
#

Its not something they're saying now

lucid yarrow
#

hello idk but it seems something isnt right here if i bouth premier 6th november and got only 150 key ,i been only member 68days ,your webside says 365 Keys-68 is 297 keys so i dont know how you guys counted to give me only 150 key

indigo mesa
#

Its something that was broadcast everywhere they could back as the cutoff date was announced

rocky lava
#

I don't think they're talking about the November 12 date for buying, they're in the same boat I am.

#

We were Premier members, and we had auto-renewals that fell inside that November 12 > January 12 timeframe.

#

Our Premier never lapsed, we should still be eligible.

indigo mesa
#

I'll go fetch the announcement back on november 12th

rocky lava
#

I read it, and read all of the announcements up to today's.

indigo mesa
#

If you purchase or renew Premier Membership on or after November 12th 2025, you only will receive Bonus Daily Keys as usual until January 12th. You will not receive an additional grant of keys for your remaining Premier Membership tenure.

My husbands renews May 31, 2026. So he gets all those months of keys. Mine renewed December 7, I get nothing.

Good stuff

Yes. His renewal is what the terms of the premier package was then, before any announcement of changes

#

Yours was after premier package was changed

rocky lava
#

Just because Jagex writes something in a newspost, doesn't make it correct, or fair, or right. We are allowed to challenge the fairness of what they are telling us we will receive for our money.

#

Terms of Premier package, that's actually pretty rich, given that they still haven't taken down the pages and notifications of Premier changes.. nor did they tell us about Artifact or vault changes until the other day.

#

didnt they announce this would happen a decent bit ago?

indigo mesa
#

We are allowed to challenge the fairness of what they are telling us we will receive for our money.

You are. But on the key front, you were told you would not receive this.

#

They've changed the package year to year. They're not identical every time. New auras, new cosmetics etc

#

You get the premier club package as it is at the time of renewal

rocky lava

I am aware, I've paid for Premier since 2013.

How is it not correct or fair or right then to get the keys the package said then

Premier club artefact or vault is a different convo but here it was in fact actually advertised and said

rocky lava
#

The package did not. Jagex's news post did.

indigo mesa
#

Actually the package did. Do you want internet archive?

rocky lava

The package pages have NEVER changed, until recently when they added a 'by the way keys are being removed on January 19'

That gives room for cancelling that if you don't want the new premier package by december

By december this has been known for weeks

#

What more steps should jagex has done to inform here

rocky lava
#

I know what auto-renewal means, and I have never stated they can't update the terms of the premier package, or the items they give you, or anything of the sort.

#

I can't seem to follow this chat, it was Spooky Oranges. I'm on mobile and the chat is going by too fast.

indigo mesa
#

I don't really think its much different between oh why don't they give keys to people who auto renewed in december. And those that auto renewed in january. Or in february, after TH is fully gone from the game.

#

All of these people would have people that last purchased this package before TH was going, and that would auto-renew into a new package if they don't cancel

#

And all those auto renewals would be after Jagex having changed packages and given time for people to cancel said auto-renewals

#

While publically stating on many platforms that yes this is how it will work and it you purchase or have renewal after this date (12th of november) there will be no bulk keys

#

I get being miffed at missing this

#

But its the same feeling I get if I miss a sale in a store for something I wanted to purchase. Oh well.

rocky lava
# indigo mesa What more steps should jagex has done to inform here

I'm not asking for any more 'informing', I was very aware of what changes were coming because I keep up with their news posts, and voted on TH removal and all of the things that came with that. I wasn't aware my renewal was in early December. Is that one on me? Absolutely, because I never cared to cancel Premier, so I just let it auto-renew every year and didn't pay attention to when it renewed.

Do I get your points? Sure. Do I understand terms can change and packages can change? Of course, I'm an adult who has a lot of contracts and pays a lot of bills.

I didn't miss anything - I was aware of the language. I read the exact post you shared above when it came out. I voted on TH, I was around for all of it.

I am still allowed to be upset at how this has been handled, and the Artifact and Vault is a wholly separate conversation. I do think, and whether you agree or not is fine with me, they could have been much more specific and call out auto-renewals. For that you'd have to manually cancel and then pay again at an earlier date to meet the criteria here.

What is frustrating is that the only reason they used the November 12 date, is because they didn't want to give out tons of free daily keys to people who panic-bought Premier after the announcement. I do think concessions for those who would have had automatic renewal already set up on November 12 should have been made. That is easy for them to identify. This is what I am frustrated about.

indigo mesa

Thats fair

rocky lava
#

People like me and others, weren't trying to get in at the last second to get a whole year of keys or anything. We just were doing our normal thing.

Its just been a lot of messages today from people insisting they paid for said extra keys, some that werent even auto-renewal

If I came of as hostile I didn't mean to

I can understand that, since Christmas break ended I think Jagex have put their foot in it a bit, and there's a lot of these kinds of conversations happening.

Same, apologies if I came across as hostile. Wasn't intended.

indigo mesa
#

Personally while I'm glad that artifact/vault goes, I was surprised at how it was handled. I thought if they were doing it that would have been part of 12th of nov announcement

#

I do wonder if its because of aura part of integrity roadmap being way sooner than we think

No relief for people who had their premier on auto renewal and their renewal date fell after the cutoff? Seems like we fall in a gray zone.

indigo mesa
#

Autorenewals fall into the "purchases or renewal after cutoff" from the original november announcement

shrewd matrix
#

Yeah, but my point is that I'm not making a purchase afterward the announcement to try to exploit the up front key award, I'm leaving my auto renewal the way it has been for years, and I'm getting hosed because it happens to fall after the date.

indigo mesa
#

What point would be the time renewals should count as a pre-time purchase?

#

What about those that have renewal date on january 20th?

shrewd matrix
#

The initial date of the premier subscription

indigo mesa
#

So you're saying TH should remain around as a system until november 12th 2026?

#

or well, anyone that has renewal date until november 12th 2026

#

should get keys

shrewd matrix
#

No, I'm saying that people who fall into the gray zone I outlined should get the up front keys.

indigo mesa
#

Where does the gray zone end

shrewd matrix
#

new purchases after Nov 12, 2025.

indigo mesa
#

How far after the announcement of said keys, should we go "no you count as a purchase after the announced cutoff date" for renewals

#

How far in the future after the cutoff date should an auto-renewal count as not being a new purchase

#

Auto-renewals in november? Auto-renewals in december? Auto-renewals in january?

shrewd matrix
#

The end of TH.

#

This is not at all a slippery slope

indigo mesa
#

So why does auto-renewal at 20th vs 19th matter january matter

Everyone in november, december and january that had auto-renewal resub for premier did so after it was announced they would not get bulk keys

#

If you had auto-renewal in december, that would be a month after this has been informed on every platform by Jagex and whats in the premier package has been updated

#

What matters is that Jagex gives a date after which there is no bulk keys and informs people about it. That doesn't have to align with the date TH ceases to exist

#

This they did. There isn't really a grey zone here for those who had auto-renewals after nov 12th

shrewd matrix
#

And yet the price on the premier remained the same. I wanted to keep playing the game, and there was no information provided on what alternative compensation Jagex would provide (either a partial refund for the value of keys not received in the premier price, or some other future addition), or adjustments to premier membership to make up for the change. I was stuck in this gray zone where it was wait and see

indigo mesa
#

The price of premier averages out to 40% cheaper compared to paying monthly membership

unique bough
indigo mesa
#

Its strange to me to go "alternative compensation". Why would you get refund for keys in a package you've bought that didn't have said keys.

shrewd matrix
#

I have seen the promises for adjustment info. I'd have liked to see that info sooner at the same time as the TH key stuff. That would make that easier to accept.

then that's not "no information" it's just a "wait for more info"

so for now, things have been answered from what it looks like, so lets not loop this over

Are systems like Daily Challenges being reworked?

Other than the removal of Treasure Hunter keys, Daily Challenges with XP benefits will continue to be available when these changes take place.

We will be looking at Daily Challenges as part of our Dailyscape Integrity Roadmap work, and as we mentioned above, you will play a part in shaping our future direction for their role in the game - if any.

Lets imagine most people didn't know or care... until they find out that the date mattered.

for instance, I can estimate that I'm missing out on 1.8 mil direct exp by not getting 300+ keys.

Which is 'fine' cuz I'm already maxed and hate TH (despite many of my 120s being acquired through its spam exp rewards).

But I can't imagine anyone in a similar situation thinks that's fair and some may be more than lightly miffed.

#

I'm more annoyed at myself for not using up the keys I had hoarded on the last week of the christmas promotion, for a chance at the latest aura hat.... figured there was a strong likelihood of a repeat of the 'choose your promotion' thing hitting the scene again, so we could burn em up 'in style'.

I mean, similar is said elsewhere like when windows 7 was given an end of life support for updates, but people who still buy devices with it and install it then gripe they no longer get updates or are supported.

Players were given that notice they will not get it in full, and regardless of auto renewals, it would be agreed back then if they did so, they understand it changed. They still got stuff to that point.

Its not like they waited until jan12 to drop the news on how the key distribution changes worked, and players had plenty notice to get refund requests of that change if they didn't like it and got a renewal done if not cancelled.

Respectfully, newsposts are not an adequate means of letting players know that the terms of their auto-renewing subscription are changing. Not everyone reads them. They are optional material; not a binding part of the membership equation.

I assumed I was 'in before the cutoff' as despite reading every news post, either I never saw the Nov 12th cutoff date, or I assumed my renewal was before then.

In either case, my membership does not hinge on these keys (frankly I don't play enough to retain my membership anyway, but Heists has been a large enough positive to keep my interest).

But I can't fathom how an arbitrary hard-and-fast cutoff date was applied with the original premier club system being introduced December 20th of 2012.

They've basically burned All of their most long-term premier members, if they signed up after that date, and constantly renewed.

#

And while I think we can all agree TH has to go, the sad truth is that anyone who has survived through this period of RS3 has grudgingly used TH for daily keys and all the exp/bxp that entails

It was updated on every instance of the subscription within minutes of it being public.

Every page, every support article, every transcript.

Similar to ToS updates, just because you don't frequently visit them, doesn't make changes invalid.

One this day, Premier Members with an active tenure beyond this date - and who purchased before November 12th - will be awarded any Bonus Keys from Premier (excluding Daily Keys earned at login) for each day of their remaining Membership tenure. All Keys will need to be used by January 19 2026, before the full removal of Treasure Hunter."

Honestly think Jx review of TH went extremely well with surveys. The decision to remove TH excellent.
The Yes vote was a farce. Clear Communication since has been less than ideal.
One step forward and several back imo but I'm still in hope that the 19th will make it all cleared, however no way am I holding my breath!

This news post leaves a perfectly valid expectation of existing premier members "with an active tenure predating November 12th" would be receiving these keys.

#

A 1 year renewable tenure repeats the 1 year duration purchase at the same increments.

So if your current tenure renewed at say, november 20th. That years tenture starts on the 20th.

#

That's a nice way of interpretting that, but that's not how tenure is typically defined.

#

'tenure' doesn't flicker between semester cycles for a teacher of 20+ years; you don't 'lose tenure' over summer holidays.

Tenures are a set timeframe and condition you agree upon.

In this case, a 1 year timeframe, with auto renewal capabilities.

The newspost is ambiguous, at best, and they've not clarified in an adequate fashion.

It was a farce, now dont get me wrong, I am not a TH fan. I agreed and voted Yes. However on reflection ... If it was a yes vote to remove TH, that would have been okay. But it wasn't, it's been taken as an integrity vote. It's become a how long is a piece of string vote. It is open ended to whatever Jx wants it to encompass into it.

They did more than enough surveys to confirm they're going to remove it, the 100k thing reverifies it, and gave more chance to view more later.

An abstain with high enough people who thought no, would never pass the 100k threshold.

So realistically it was going to pass with those who wanted it gone enough

Exactly. Players indicated their support for the removal of TH through the surveys & experiments done beforehand:

65% of players felt positive or neutral about TH removal, with 35% feeling negative.
54% of players expressed a desire to retain some form of progression-supporting MTX options
If Treasure Hunter was removed, 54% of players were more likely to recommend RuneScape, 20% had no change in likelihood to recommend it, and 25% were less likely to recommend

(...)
76% felt the changes show RuneScape is headed in a positive direction
79% did not feel that the MTX Experiment changes made the game more of a grind
Only 26% of players felt the game was less fair without access to Treasure Hunter

#

As if the 100k didn't pass, they'd have to relook at player expectations and desires.

#

So if players didn't want it to be gone, abstain and no had the same goal. Don't vote yes

There's not much need to grab an explicit no counter in a reconfirmation poll, as players wanted it gone by previous surveys. Now confirm that.

**Would like official Jagex clarification on the following: **

"Treasure Hunter Keys will no longer be sold as of January 12 2026."

"One this day, Premier Members with an active tenure beyond this date - and who purchased before November 12th - will be awarded any Bonus Keys from Premier (excluding Daily Keys earned at login) for each day of their remaining Membership tenure. All Keys will need to be used by January 19 2026, before the full removal of Treasure Hunter."

**โ€œTenureโ€ normally refers to continuous membership status, not a single prepaid billing period. **

It was my interpretation of the original newspost that because I was already a premier member by November 12th, and because I would still be a premier member at the time of January 19th, that these remaining keys would be credited.

That my renewal date happens to be after November 12th is, to my mind, immaterial. Most of your Premier club members will have an auto-renewal date after November 12th, as Jagex released Premier membership December of 2012.

At best, the post is harmfully ambigious. At worst, Jagex is not fulfilling the assurances made in the above newspost (and similar).

**I would ask that members with premier membership before November 12th 2025 who have since renewed receive keys for the time remaining up to the date of November 12th 2026. **

The way I see it is that:

  • You had an active premier bought before November 12th that lapsed after November 12th, but ended before January 12th.
    • Your premier renewed at that end date.
  • Because your active premier ended before 12 January, you would've gotten all keys from it.
  • Because your new premier started after 12 november, you are not eligible for the keys from that premier.

#

You can restyle it however you like, the language of the original news-post stands at odds with how this was handled.

leaden elk
#

If it's auto-renewal with no end, wouldn't a tenure be indefinite?

finite yacht
#

until your bank-account declines the renewal, yes?

#

Until a teacher retires, yes? The end is undefined until it is over; a tenure is typically formatted as an ongoing thing.

leaden elk
#

I mean, we can go all technical on it, but that would imply you have an indefinite amount of days for your tenure, so you would expect an indefinite amount of keys?

finite yacht
#

I can see where you're coming from; with the appreciation that tenure was used twice in this news post, let's attempt to take the fairest interpretation of it, and suppose that unless a person has prepaid 5 years in advance, their auto-renewal for 2027 is not yet ensured, ergo keys would not be provided for future renewals. (Whereas renewals already in place as of today's date are now reliably maintaining tenure, regardless of whether they were paid for on November 11th or November 13th).

Meanwhile, if someone had pre-paid for several years of membership (not I), then yes, it would stand to reason that when they paid, they expected keys as part of the terms of their payment, and at some form of substitute, as stylized in the newspost, would be appropriate.

#

I believe Jagex does not have their membership payment system set up in a way whereby that early payment is even possible, so that branch of inquiry is likely moot.

Odd to me that people actually try to argue that Jagex not giving you advance notice of, and thus opportunity to take advantage of, getting hundreds of keys in one go, is somehow a violation or unfair

  • Removal of premier vault
  • Update and revamp to the marketplace to have a new pricing structure and many new entries

The premier artifact was removed because it gave you advantages for purchasing a certain package of membership.

So... I am curious...

I get that JAGEX wants to change things, but so far, they've gutted the perks for the premier subscribers like myself. Is anything going to be introduced as an alternative? Or, is JAGEX just going to rip out everything and expect players to pay more for their membership as of 2026?

I thankfully renewed my premier membership BEFORE the announcement and wasn't on a rolling membership. However I can understand the frustration communicated by numerous members of the community within this thread.

In my opinion the crux of the issue isn't just about whether notice was given or whether the contents of that notice was clear, whether the language was open to misinterpretation. I think as players who devote a lot of time and in some cases money to a game that has grown with them over many years, it is important that they feel they are heard and valued.

Implementation of the wind down of TH and associated benefits could have been improved upon, such as extra care & consideration for players who were on a rolling premier subscription - an inbox message making them aware their next subscription payment would not make them eligible for keys and other premier perks that are being discontinued would have made sense.

I think also some of the arbitrary decisions involving what would and wouldn't be removed as part of the push for removing pay-to-win elements within the game could have been put to a player poll, rather than being forced upon the community. However hindsight is 20/20 and I can only hope that Jagex have taken a more considered approach this time around, and that we donโ€™t get a repeat of history.

The attraction of the game for me has always been its open nature โ€“ that you could play however you wanted. I think it is important that we keep this in mind and are respectful of other playerโ€™s decisions regarding their playstyle and that we are conscious of this wherever possible when implementing sweeping changes to the game.

there has certainly been a few stumblings in terms of communication during this whole ordeal, i suspect not all the details were finalised on nov 12th and that's why this late announcement of the artefact happened, obviously not ideal, but when you're working fast to get the players what they've said in many surveys that they want, sometimes you end up being in a situation where you're laying the tracks directly infront of the train

I hope they follow through on that. Although my existing account is more recent, I have played since RS was created, but right now, it feels that JAGEX doesn't care at all about those who pay the Premier subscription fee.

Also... the "poll" to remove Treasure Hunter was actually a petition. It was pitched as a way for the community to have their say, but it was in fact, a one-side data collection that came across as dressed up PR nonsense.

Right now, as a Premier subscriber, perks and advantages have been ripped out and there is nothing in the pipeline it seems. So why bother paying for it?

JAGEX really dropped the ball here, as it is Premier subscribers like myself who help to maintain cashflow for the business which then funds your dev ops, but hey... I clearly don't matter it seems.

When I first started playing this game, it had a single founding principle that set it apart from others: Play some content free for ever, pay for membership and everything is open to you. All content is yours if you can earn it.

That degraded in 2012 with of Squeal of Fortune (now Treasure Hunter), worsened with the introduction of Solomon's General Store later that year (at first only cosmetic, but functional boosts such as auras started creeping in the next year) and Premier Club in 2013, offering several in-game benefits.

In my opinion, Treasure Hunter was the single most toxic thing to the game's founding principles that it had. I'm glad it's gone, in fact it's the only reason I'm back. Solomon and Premier need addressing as well, though, to put the game back on a reputable level. I think Premier Membership can justify the a discount on the price (as with any company who gives better rates for being paid well in advance). Premier cosmetics don't affect the core function of the game. Once Solomon's Store is sorted out, the extra loyalty points won't either. A lot of the remaining stuff though (Premier Artefact, Premier Vault, VIP worlds, free boss instances, monthly drops, extra bank space) arguably give in-game advantages, and frankly I think it's generous that only the Artefact and Vault are going.

Nowadays, it doesn't really help too much. Often most worlds have barely triple-digit players. But back in the day when VIP worlds were introduced before OSRS existed and before RuneScape had started haemorrhaging players, most servers were well-populated and VIP worlds were a convenient way to get less competition for resources. Additionally, this was long before quality of life improvements like the smithing rework, where you had to fight for Runite rock spawns and wait ages for each to refresh. It let Premier Club members slightly out-pace competition with access to only non-Premier worlds.

Thats because most people are openly against mtx and everything it has done to the game.
The game was never meant to have ways to skip playing it.
And now that those ways of skipping the game are being removed, the people that got lazy and complacent are complaining that they cant be lazy and complacent anymore.
If the game no longer meets your time constraints, you dont have to play it.
Simple as that.

It's also not other peoples' problem people don't manage their time better. OSRS players say the same shit about not having a lot of time, yet they still manage do their grinds without lamps/stars/proteans/dummies

Which makes it even less of an argument for rs3, given hourly exp rates on here aren't in the stone age. You also don't NEED to be maxed/comp'd etc to play and/or enjoy the game, let alone do those in a day/week/month

If you dont have enough time to enjoy the game. Then maby the game isint for you. There are other games that dont take nearly as long to get to the "fun" part.
RS is an Mmorpg. A type of game known for being grindy. Thats part of the apeal. Working for that power.
Yes. I know, people nowadays need to work more. I get it. But damaging the game for a quick boost at the cost of its integrity isnt the way to solve the issue.
