The reality is if you are like the average Runescape player, then you don’t own a credit and therefore don’t have an easy way of paying for Runescape membership, which means you need of opt to get a free PayPal account. In my opinion it is the best way of paying for Runescape membership anyway because it pretty much removes the need for your parents to be involved in the payment process.
To fully verify you PayPal account you need to have a credit card but even without a credit card you can setup an account and pay and receive funds with your PayPal account, and if you are from one of a number select countries you can actually have money from your account paid directly into your bank account or sent to you via a check.
How to Get Runescape Membership For Free
So how can you about getting Runescape membership for free via these other means. Well my personally favorite is just doing odd jobs for people and getting paid via PayPal then collecting enough money to pay for a couple of month Runescape membership. Like for example I actually pay players to write guides and articles on certain topics of Runescape and if they are good enough quality I pay them like $15 an article. That’s two months Runescape membership all for a couple of hundreds of words on Runescape.
Only recently I paid a member of Runescape Boards (a Runescape forum I run) $40 for 3 articles. I asked him how long it took him to write the articles and he said it took a total of two hours and he said he found writing the articles interesting and enjoyable. So by spending two hours of his time writing some articles he managed to earn enough money to pay for six months worth of free Runescape membership. If you think you are capable of writing good quality guides like the ones you see on this site you are more than welcome to get in contact with me, Chris, at Runescape Boards.
That said, it is unlikely that I will have specific articles that I'm looking to pay for on an individual basis. However if you enjoy writing about Runescape you might like to join as an author on RS Haven, which is a very popular Runescape blog. I'm almost always looking for good quality Runescape writers and I pay at least $10 month to RS Haven to help pay for their Runescape membership.

Also I have recently seen a lot of people joining triond and having their articles published on gameolosophy where they offer writers the opportunity to write for them and they share the revenue earned from the advertising that they display next to your articles when they are read by visitors. Personally I think this isn’t going to be nearly as lucrative as just writing for someone who is willing to buy your guide at a fixed price plus the problem with this method is it takes quite awhile to accumulate the earnings from your articles and you need to write quite a number of articles and wait months and months before you will have earned enough to get your free membership on Runescape.
You can get paid for lots of things on the net other than writing articles you just have to go to forums where you can sell your services to other webmasters. You can make some really good money selling things like graphics and website designs if you are skilled in those sorts of things. You can even make good money by posting on other people’s forums and creating conversation. Doing these sort of simple jobs you can earn more than enough to pay for a few months of Runescape membership.
Other alternatives include getting involved in get paid to programs like CashCrate and Treasure Troopers where you can earn money for participating in offers, surveys, taking free trials, referring your friends and making purchases. The problem again with these sorts of programs is that it takes quite awhile to earn enough to cash out and there are a very limited number of things you can do to earn money if you don’t live in the United States and they take quite awhile to payout and they often don’t payout to PayPal which is annoying because it means you still can’t pay for Runescape membership without sending money into Jagex directly or using a credit card.
