Can you guys make a second bank that can be placed in our Player Owned Houses? My bank sometimes gets full but there are non-tradables that i don't want to get rid of like my Achto gear, and I don't want to destroy them because they take so long to get back. It would be nice to have a box in our Houses to just dump all these items until we need them some day.

bank space = storage space = servers = money

so i doubt this will happen, but support for more house storage, even thought i wont be able to put my atcho in there as its augmented and perked up :/

(yes house storage takes space too, but its a binary, either an item is there, or it isnt, which id imagine takes up a lot less computer storage space than having a specific item ID in each bank space, especially when it can be a modified ID such as a degraded or augmented+perked item would have)

Welcome to Jagex HQ, where we have plenty of money but that won't stop us from squeezing you dry of every penny
don't mind the fact that our HQ is burning down in the background

I'd be fine with it being limited to untradable items that can be equipped. It should also require a decent Construction level, let's say 90. It still needs to have a limit, though, maybe 100 slots? One item per slot as well (which shouldn't really change anything, since most of this stuff doesn't stack). There are 100k (ish) players with 90 Con. With a limit of 1 per slot, we don't need to track quantity. Item IDs should be no larger than 4 bytes. That would mean 400 bytes max (plenty of people wouldn't fill it entirely) multiplied by the 100k people that would have access (again, not all of them would even be playing) and we get 40MB.

Since AWS is a big storage company they show you their pricing up front. I can't tell you for certain what Jagex pays with their host, but we'll use these numbers for reference: roughly $0.02 per GB per month or about a quarter (USD) per year. But we're talking about 40MB, not 1GB after you adjust: this storage space would cost Jagex $0.01 per year. Yes, 1 American penny per year.

So...I'll be optimistic and start the pricing estimation at 3 bonds per user?

Yeah but this is Jagex; 1 penny for satisfied customers is too much! They should be paying us!? How dare they be dissatisfied!?

I don't see why not; that's how much ONE extra bank preset costs. 50M+ for ONE bank preset. ONE.

Item IDs are actually 2 bytes (signed short). An ID/quantity combination is 6 bytes.

Now, bankspace is priced at US$9.45 per 50 slots (300 bytes), meaning you pay 31.5 million dollars per gb, for a lifetime. I don't know which host they use but it must be very expensive to charge us so much :( Hi
