Members

Member worlds are worlds that gives players access to the full version of Old School RuneScape.

Extra features
Many features are only available to players in member worlds. Almost all recent updates to Old School RuneScape are available in member worlds, but not to free-to-play worlds. There are very few quests available in free-to-play worlds, while plenty more are available in member worlds. There is a condensed list of features available in member worlds below:


 * Extra skills
 * Higher capabilities in other skills
 * Use of several transportation systems
 * Three times as much explorable map area
 * Mini-games and other features, such as dueling under set rules and risks
 * Better equipment, such as dragon, barrows, and crystal weapons and armour
 * More items available
 * Many more quests
 * More music and sound effects

It is important to note that these benefits will only be available if the player logs onto a members world. If a members-only item is on a free-to-play world it will not be usable. The name of the item is replaced with "Members Item" and the examine is "Login to a members server to use this."

Members-only skills
Currently there are eight skills in RuneScape that are only available in member worlds out of a total of 23 skills. The members only skills are listed in alphabetical order below:


 * Agility
 * Construction
 * Farming
 * Fletching
 * Herblore
 * Hunter
 * Thieving
 * Slayer

There are many benefits to unlocking these skills. Many members quests have members skill requirements. Agility allows run energy to recharge faster, and allows entry to certain areas and use of many shortcuts. With Construction, players can build their own player-owned house. Farming allows players to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and trees that only they will be able to cut. Herblore lets players make potions to aid them in combat and the training of other skills. Hunter unlocks new items. Thieving allows entry into certain areas as well as being an easy money source. Slayer unlocks new monsters and items, as well as the Magic Dart spell.

Members only skills make up over a third of the total number of skills to train in RuneScape.

Minigames
All of the minigames in Old School RuneScape are available only in member worlds. Minigames are cooperative competitions between players and other players or just a game players can play on their own or in teams. Minigames can be good methods to gain experience in combat or non-combat skills, or just fun competition between players. Minigames are one of the most enjoyable aspects of Old School RuneScape that are restricted to member worlds.

Here is an alphabetical list of the currently available minigames, along with a short explanation:

One of the best ways to train Crafting, a good source of Firemaking experience, or a good way for players to test their prowess in combat and see how long they can last against the shades while they train up their combat skills!

 * TzHaar Fight Pit - Players are thrown into pits where they fight an every-man-for-himself battle to the death! Deadly alliances and betrayals are all a part of the game. Tokkul is rewarded to the winner of each round.

Most members try out all the minigames at least once. Each is enjoyable, and most of them have excellent rewards.
