Jagex is getting ready to raise the price tag on a subscription to Old School RuneScape for OSRS Gold first time users, citing the UK’s imminent Brexit to be a factor.

In a post around the RuneScape website, Jagex said for players arriving at Old School RuneScape the very first time, and then for players who've been unsubscribed for longer than 14 days, the expense of a subscription will rise from £5.99 monthly to £6.99 monthly, or from £53.99 to £62.99 for just a 12-month membership. Bond prices for your game may also be raised, as well as the price-changes arrive into affect on June 4.

In an FAQ article the reasons for that increase were elaborated upon, including mention of Brexit like a factor. In addition, Jagex said: “This decision could be the result of a growth in development costs, with an increase in operating fees. The Old School RuneScape model is entirely subscription-based, therefore to continue delivering great content we need to increase membership fees.” The company added: “This will never affect people who are already subscribed. Any existing subscription agreement will likely be honoured as long as it remains in place. If you’re part and you don’t lapse out being a member in excess of 14 days, you’re qualified for keep your current rate of membership. Subscribe now to secure having access to Buy RuneScape Gold all of Old School RuneScape’s members’ content at current prices.”
