Jagex Limited, a British video game developer and publisher known for its flagship titles RuneScape and Old School RuneScape offered subscribers grandfathered monthly pricing if a subscriber returns to a monthly subscription after going through a yearly subscription. On 10 March 2026, Jagex suddenly announced changes to its membership offerings. These changes were announced with minimal advance notice and at the same time membership prices were increased, raising concerns about potential bait-and-switch tactics.
