do you guys think bond prices will get affected by the price change for buying keys or bond or runecoins through the website?.


They are currently going down. I bought 16 for 45.9M instantly like 2 hours ago or something.
The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.

1 blue partyhat would buy ~7500 bonds which would be 300+ years of membership.

Bonds are cheap if you see how expensive everything else is. BIS gear now cost 60b i read somewhere the other day?
I dont quiet understand how jagex still manages to sell bonds but i guess it means that there is still new players joining the game now and then. Even though rs3 is sub 30k right now which is supposed to be prime time.

The bonds for this years membership i bought already but honestly i am just waiting for an opportunity to fully fill the pouch and be done with it forever. Am hoping for sub 40, 35 actually is my target but i dont see that happening anymore this year. Jagex did remove the 3 months packages from the store i think and its only 12 month packages now. So maybe this year there will be a substantial spike again towards the end of the year.

The bonds cost more to buy from jagex so logically they should become more expensive ingame as well,maybe that is what jagex had expected as well. 20% increase should bring bonds from 40-50 to 50-60.
This has not happend though and i am not completely surprised by this. Oddments have become useless imo unless you are into the pets that you can buy. The whole TH does feel less apealing to me though it could very well be that the actual rewards have increased due to better and more promos.

In the long run the deal with bonds it to good to be true for the players. Like i barely play,i barely trade. Yet i still make more then enough to buy the membership package every year.
Everyone who plays halve seriously would make much more and why would those people ever pay with real money when they can simply buy the bonds ingame?
Something tells me this simply can not last,which is why i want to lock in the bonds i need for 2 decades to come.

I finished saving up deposit for my current house in 2021. I know a few friends who also have more disposable income than they did in their first 3 years of work. More players are reaching a point of freedom where £60 for a year isn't too much.

Yea, buying 500 bonds might be smart. Bonds are pain to hold though, over 500, on one account anyway.

I assume there are people out there spending hundreds if not thousands to get started in RS. So, bonds might continue flooding in.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

ye+ the moment that flow of bonds stops the price will get really high because the only way for bonds to enter the game is by buying them right?. so if ppl stop buying them then the price might rise too because the quantity gets low.
trusting certain pc lists or prices of items or websites that dont belong to jagex will get you into trouble notice: external websites and trades are your responsibility, dont get fooled!.

Very true.

But there are a lot of players who enjoy the game. It can be easier to buy bonds than to grind. So, if some new update comes out requiring some task that can be bought, maybe bonds could fall.

You're more into pvm than I am. I'll probably never even get started, haha. But you can probably envision what additions would require gp.

One update Jagex could make is to sell bonds in 20 packs. A player could sell one in the ge, and the sell box could be frozen until those 20 sell individually. Some players would likely spend big if it were convenient to do so.

Can you imagine trying to sell bonds to reach 100b (or whatever) for a phat?

I know people do weird stuff for a phat, 1 guy bought 1k bonds on a non maxed account for a blue phat back when it was 25b or so.

and another guy took a 40-50b loan for a phat (he did get the money back with pvming)

personally i dont like loans and i think buying 1k bonds is a waste since in real life i could do alot of fun stuff with that money but still.

Loans are always bad. You’re just lucky to get the money repaid, without interest.

Some just make a lot on investments, bit of luck. A guy told me to short this btc etf when btc was near its peak. Sadly, I didn’t.

I played some game years ago where people were spending hundreds, thousands even. One guy said he owned some soda company in Florida, maybe a bottling plant, I dunno. I only played it briefly but amazed me to see that. It was far easier to spend in that game.

Are youse talking about real-life loans or in-game loans? O_o


ingame ofcourse, unless there are really ppl with a 50b loan irl that pvm to get it back :p

also having an irl loan for an ingame item is really stupid in a bad way imo.
