AARGHH....BRAIN DRAiN..... WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THESE?!?!?!
I JUST WANT TO LOG IN WITH MY MONTHLY RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION AND PLAY THE DAMN GAME.

DO I NEED TO DO CANCEL MY EXISTING METHOD AND BUY THESE "BONDS" INSTEAD?!?!?!?! DOES IT MEAN THAT IF I DONT DO THE NEW METHOD, I WILL LOSE ALL MY LOYALTY POINTS ETC ?!?!!?!?!

CAN'T YOU JUST CONVERT/CHANGE THE METHOD TO "BONDS" WITHOUT ME HAVING TO DO ANYTHING ABT IT?

IF YOU HV FAILED IN THE PAST WITH THESE GOLD FARMER, DOUBT THIS WILL WORK OTHER THAN CAUSE MORE INCOVENIENT TO US PLAYER WHO JUST WANT TO PLAY THE GAME!

Please explain else I am really quitting. Enough inconvenient as it is with yr stupid "live" audio streaming when you lack the bandwidth for it. Btw ie lumby war ! Dont you realise by now NOBODY CARES abt it and it causes major lags with your ever daily diminishing amount of paying clients?

While it dose seem like a round about means of adding rwt to the game.... it might help and atm don't really have enough information to be for or against it... yet..

Though if you were serious in removing inflation causing gold from the economy you would also remove it from the SoF.

Will be interesting to see how this works. Helpful Links: Forum Help | Account Help | BBcodes

I have never seen so much earnest explanation put towards something that entirely misses the point UNLESS bonds are the only way now to trade wealth between players.

From the graphic: Players now buy bonds from Jagex. They can be given. They can be sold to other players for gp. They can be used to trade for in-game items. Most importantly, they do not stack.

IF the agreed-on value of a bond is less than 20,000gp and you had 30 bonds in your bank, your purchasing power is effectively 600,000gp. Let's say this buys two whips. $150.00 for 30 bonds gets you two whips. Is this a joke? So trading for in-game items seems like its hog tied from the outset.

How, specifically, does this prevent Player A from giving Player B a whopping load of gp (as the final play of a gold farmer's cash-for-gp transaction)? I'm dashed.

Hey!,

In some ways, this will be a great update because finally you let us to give (in a legal way) memberships as prizes for events or contests.

Currently, I'm the owner a Gold FanSite and we always have that "limitant" because we can't give away memberships, spins or even RuneCoins because we don't have too many payment methods in South-America.

This'll be the solution for our problem

I only have one question: Do you have a plan to limit the Bouns trade? Like... "you can only trade fifteen Bouns per month" or something like that.

As someone said: "If you really think that this is the best way to help the community, we'll support you".

I know that you're doing your best =)...

Thanks!,

And did he really say "God Bless you" at the end? I'm not knocking religion or God in any way, but everyone knows that saying those words is a classless way to get a majority of people to automatically sympathize with a cause.

Original message details are unavailable.
Will those that have recurring membership payments coming from their say Credit Cards be affected or will those payments be able to continue?

No - bonds redeemed for membership will add 2 weeks of membership to your account, which will expire normally with no further charges incurred.

I don't understand this at all. I can spend £5 on bonds then turn around and sell it for 15M ? I like the idea of buying membership with in game gold but I don't see how the bonds thing will fix RWT.

Legitimised player-to-player RWT, is all this seems to be. I mean, I simply do not understand how this is going to combat off-site RWT.

Let's say that you can buy a 'Bond' for 5$, equivalent to 15M of in-game currency, if you manage to find a player to trade with. Essentially, at the end of the interaction, you have bought 15M of in-game currency for your 5$ and as your very own statistics support, the audience that is willing to make use of this service for the purchase of gold alone, is massive.
So what happens if a Gold Farmer follows the value of a Bond and ensures, that at all times his services are the 'better' choice, offering 20M for the money that otherwise would be spent on a 'Bond' valued at 15M?

More importantly, where does OSRS come into this?
