Members Loyalty Programme

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

Loyalty Points can be spent on a various range of rewards, including emotes, costumes, and items for the Aura slot. All rewards are simply cosmetic, with the exception of the auras, which enhance gameplay in many different aspects and the wicked pouch, which can store rune energy and affect the use of the Magic skill. 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. Items, emotes, costumes, colour changes, and titles can be bought from Xuan east of the Warriors' Guild in Burthorpe or in Varrock Square, Dilwyn in the Tower of Voices within the Elven City of Prifddinas, or Wafa in the centre of the Merchant district in Menaphos.

In 2011, there was a 12 Days of Christmas event between 25 December 2011 and 5 January 2012, where players were able to earn 500 Loyalty Points on each day that they logged into a members world (if they signed up to the Loyalty Programme) for a total of 6,000 points if they logged in on each of the 12 days.

The shop was updated on 3 September 2013 and merged with Solomon's General Store, allowing some items from both stores to be purchased with each others' currency. The gazes and clothing were changed into cosmetic skin overrides. The only items that could be purchased from Xuan were auras, outfits, and the ability to re-colour items.

The shop was updated again on 29 March 2016, with plans to make items cost only RuneCoins or only Loyalty Points rather than both starting from 3 May 2016.

Mechanics

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 (e.g. if a player subscribes for 6 months and then waits 10 days to resubscribe, they would get points for the seventh month). If players do not re-subscribe after 30 days, they will drop down to 500 points for the month they next subscribe.

The following table shows how many points are earned when the player is a member for an 'x' amount of months.

Consecutive months	Points earned	Total points earned
1	500	500
2	3,000 + 1,500	5,000
3	5,000 + 2,500	12,500
4	7,000 + 2,500	22,000
5	8,000 + 2,500	32,500
6	9,000 + 5,000	46,500
7	10,000 + 5,000	61,500
8	11,000 + 6,000	78,500
9	12,000 + 7,000	97,500
10	13,000 + 8,000	118,500
11	14,000 + 9,000	141,500
12	15,000 + 15,000	171,500
13	15,000 + 15,000	201,500
14	15,000 + 15,000	231,500
15	15,000 + 15,000	261,500
16	15,000 + 15,000	291,500
17	15,000 + 15,000	321,500
18	15,000 + 20,000	356,500
19–23	5 × (15,000 + 15,000)	506,500
24	15,000 + 20,000	541,500

The total points earned is without counting extra points that are given during events.

After the first 12 months, you will receive 15,000 bonus points a month. Every 6 months, this is increased to 20,000 bonus points before returning to the normal bonus points of 15,000.

Auras

Main article: Auras

Auras improve gameplay in many different ways, including effects with Combat, Skills, and other benefits, while a few auras provide unique cosmetic looks. They all have a particle effect that glows when the aura is active. This particle effect does not show on a Free-to-play server. Most combat auras can only be used in PvM and would not work in PvP combat. With the exception of cosmetic auras, such as the Oddball aura and gazes, and the Desert pantheon aura, only one aura can be used at once.

Auras 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 still counts down even if you log out. If you un-equip an activated aura, you cannot use it again until it is recharged. If an aura is lost, it can be reclaimed by Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa fully charged if it wasn't on cooldown. If an aura is lost while it is activated, it will go on cooldown when it is reclaimed.

In order to purchase a higher tier aura, all lower tier versions of that aura must be bought in order first. The auras can be bought from Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa in-game or from Solomon's General Store under the Auras section. To purchase all of the Members Loyalty Programme auras, it would cost the player 4,320,000 loyalty points.

Cosmetic auras

Main article: Auras § Cosmetic auras

Unlike most auras, cosmetic auras only affect the appearance of a player. There is also no activation or cooldown time. There are 8 gaze auras that can be bought from Solomon's General Store under the Wardrobe section in the Effects subsection. They can be applied in the Customisation interface to make the player's eyes glow in various colours. To purchase all of the Members Loyalty Programme gazes, it would cost the player 144,000 loyalty points.

Emotes

Main article: Emotes § Membership Loyalty Emotes

There are 38 emotes that can be bought from Solomon's General Store under the Emotes section. They are used in the same way that all other emotes are used. To purchase all of the Members Loyalty Programme emotes, it would cost the player 223,782 loyalty points.

Outfits

There are 12 outfits that can be bought from Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa in-game or from Solomon's General Store under the Wardrobe section in the Outfits subsection. All parts of the outfit are bought at once and can be changed to various colours. They can be worn as in-game items if claimed from Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa, or they can be worn as a cosmetic override in the Customisation interface. If an outfit is lost, it can be reclaimed by Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa. The outfits are for cosmetic appearance. Only the Dervish Outfit provides benefits - it provides protection from desert heat. To purchase all of the Members Loyalty Programme outfits, it would cost the player 44,000 loyalty points.

Colour changes

The ability to re-colour certain items can be bought from Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa in-game or from Solomon's General Store under the Services section in the Re-colours subsection. You can change the colour of certain items to blue, red, green, or yellow by using them on Xuan, Dilwyn, or Wafa. Once coloured, the item becomes untradeable until it is changed back to its original colour. (The Full slayer helmet can be disassembled and put back together to restore it back to its normal colour.) To purchase all of the Members Loyalty Programme re-colours, it would cost the player 38,000 loyalty points.

• The only non-English title currently available in Xuan's shop is "Wunderkind", which translates to "Child Prodigy" in German.
• The title Duderino could 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". It could also be a reference to the Simpsons. The character Ned Flanders says words that end in "idly" doodly" "rino" etc.
