in game.

Often people just run off with it. “Thanks ‘friend.’ What was your name again? You can trust me.”

But even if you get it back, no interest.

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.


Of course it's stupid unless you're a millionaire that doesn't really care much. I could always understand that. Considering how and what silly things they get.. paying irl for partyhats or whatever item seems like a breeze lmao

Yea, considering people apparently pay £100s (or even £1000s?) for in-game stuff, it wouldn't have surprised me if some were taking loans IRL to pay for it.

I've never loaned anyone money in RS, but a clan-mate did once lend me 1m gp back in like 2006 when I lost my 30m bank (long story). I repaid with interest about 2 days later.

It is a lot easier to double your money in RS than IRL, so if someone was au fait with "real-world" gp trading and not afraid of breaking the rules/laws, then they could argue it makes some sense to invest in RS.

i wonder how many billions some people lost on gem tokens. this is another warning to not invest in th/sof items, i really hope not to many people got into it. 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!.

My guess is just a few merchers/flippers lost money, many knew from last year to not hold a high percentage of their wealth in tokens and likely sold off their tokens to the average player that unlocked it.
