"How to play: Use Treasure Hunter Keys to fill the Crystal Chest bar. Once filled the Crystal Chest can be opened for a chance at unique rewards and cash prizes!"


Now y'all are making me look suspicious. I'm trying to think of any time I referred to game gold as cash. By definition cash is physical currency and not existing in some other form. Any other form.

Besides, why would someone buying keys try to win gold? Couldn't they just buy a bond for guaranteed victory? Am I supposed to believe they are excited about that?

Nevermind that jacket thing, I can win 50M GP! Maybe!

I don't need to buy a bond with real cash and can still win the cash prize from Treasure Hunter. Even free players can win cash prize from Treasure Hunter too.

Yes, cash prize as in gold or gp or money prize. We know Runscape gp is not real gp, gold or money or cash, but most gamers still habitually call it gp, gold or cash and create money making guide.

I am also somewhat surprised to see on Reddit an estimate of $22,000 in key purchases to hit the drop rate on the best reward.

I'm not doing the math, but if that is incorrect they might consider posting a statement about this. Maybe there is some hidden variable. IDK.

Why do they have to post a statement? It is common understanding all items mentioned in a virtual world are virtual items that carry no real values. Don't we all know members have our player owned house? Don't we all know the house we owned by buying subscription is not a real house in the real world?

On the contrary, actually when a virtual world offers real value items, it has to explicitly post a statement like this:

I think this is more of a Freudian slip, that the jmod who made this is tapping on the lingo of people who are addicted to gambling and forgot to reword cash to coins. At least that is how it comes across to me, as a person who is not addicted to gambling and rolls their eyes when they see "cash prizes" on various ads for gambling apps on ios store.

That's a huge difference between revealing in game content in a virtual world and advertising a virtual world for gambling apps on ios store.

When a virtual world shows participants may get a cash or gold or gp or money prize or a house, cannon, gun, etc in a piece of in game content, they are talking about VIRTUAL items. However, if they make an explicitly advertisements on a gambling apps independent of the virtual world, then they are no longer talking about in game virtual world content.
