RuneScape is Raising Bond Prices Next Week, Australian Servers Temporarily Down for Data Center Fixes
RuneScape will be raising Bond prices next week. Jagex has also temporarily shut down Australian servers after Issues with the data center.
On June 25th, RuneScape Bonds will go up in price. However, the team is clear to point out that the price of membership, RuneCoins, RuneMetrics, and Treasure Hunter keys will be staying the same. Bonds are used to get membership time through in-game play, but some people like to gift or sell them on the Grand Exchange, so the price increase will probably impact that side the most.
The team released the new pricing information, with the UK price soon to be 5.99 / the US price $8.99, and the Euro price 7.99 for one bond, as well as info on the discounted bulk purchase options.
The RuneScape devs continue to work on problems with the Australian data center. They shut down the Australian worlds temporarily until further notice, safeguarding against potential item losses due to possible data instability. As a workaround, those who want to play are encouraged to get on the US-West server worlds as the team fixes the issue.
An update this afternoon still had the servers down, but after investigation and work, they did have some encouraging notes. “We believe the risk to the stability of these servers is low,” the update reads, while not yet ready to bring everything back up and still recommending the US-West worlds for now. Yet, they do have an optimistic outlook and are planning to being the Australian worlds back online “soon”.
