~ Why do you guys think you rarely see me anymore? It's so hard to come back and think these forums are serious.. nonsupporters are trolls and the supporters expect too much. ~
Let me be the first to welcome you back with an over-the-top-ultra-mega-super-super-super-and-oh-yeah-a-super-duper-cheerfully-cheerful welcome back!!! :D

But, in all realness, relax bro.

The reality, this is a game, we just play it.

Ultimately, this sort of stuff is up to Jagex.

We, the players, can only offer suggestions and discuss :P

Sure, they have these forums to offer suggestions and discuss topics such as how Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is an awesome multiple win idea because it helps Jagex strengthen their funding to hire more people to maintain and develop the game for everyone to enjoy.

Plus, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is an awesome way for the players to show appreciation and thanks to the JMods. With the strengthened funding from Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, Jagex could reward the dedicated and hard working JMods with pay raises! :D

We all love what they do and this is an awesome way to support them! :D

+ 1

Also, consider that the game is constantly being updated, it took years for Prifddinas to be built, there's a crater in Lumbridge, they actually updated mining and smithing, there was mention of a Bank Bidders update, so it's only a matter of time until they eventually update cosmetics such as Christmas Crackers and Partyhats.

While we simply don't know what they're planning, the odds are that they will eventually update the Partyhats because everyone knows that the game is always being updated.

Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is just one possibility of how they might update the game.

Anyway, I think the pros outweigh the cons but ultimately it's up to Jagex.

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter because it's a multiple win and a super fun way to support the game we all love and enjoy! :D 'o.0'

Released for fun nearly 20 years ago and have become the most valued item in the game. And you want to end it just so you can throw a few partyhat parties and celebrate that you broke an item.

Don't insult my Billionaires Club idea, because you are misusing the term completely and are not relating the term to my suggestion.

The status symbols that are partyhats of value are what people aim for. I'm all for adding to the supply, so I support various forms of rerelease in order to expand them out of the manipulation that comes from these forums.

I'd also be for adding some more low status ones, but anything tradable is dangerous. Partyhats have been in the game longer than us, and what they are now is more important to more people than what fun they were made for 20 years ago. These today are the motivation for some of the guys playing this game.

They still release fun items every holiday, right? And they have various more-obtainable rares as well. What's the big deal about destroying the games most valued item for parties?

I'm the one who probably explained the merchants overpowering ability to reap massive gains from partyhats and I don't need it used against me. The current hoarders who aren't currently thinking about trading are making them less and less obtainable while their stacks increase. And on top of the automatic gains of the partyhat, they work for money too because runescape gp is life.

Let the merchants have their endgame, but the first sign of new ones entering the game and the activity will pick up. And the concept of them being 'safe' or overpowered becomes less plausible to them and prices will decrease until they eventually restablize. Without breaking them.

More hats, more owners, cheaper hats, but unlikely to drop even below max cash still.

If you want your parties, I'd recommend new versions. Probably "Lucky" partyhats, like the lucky armors already in TH. Easily distinguished, similar but changed colors, fun. Not originals.

With all due respect, your "Billionaires Club" idea is off topic.

It's not clear why you take offence, if you wish to discuss a different topic, then by all means make your own thread.

Clearly, the topic here is Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

First, the Partyhat has no stats, it's not a high tier item, a player with zero experience, no quests may wear it. In fact, a bronze helmet has better stats! :P

Second, I am in favor of an infinite supply of Partyhats, in this context, it might appear as a Yelps reboot of the Squeal Of Fortune or The Wheel Partyhats of Fortune where every slot is filled with an original style of Partyhat or Christmas Cracker.

That's right, every slot with a Partyhat or Christmas Cracker.

While I am open and supportive of other suggestions, you must recognize that I have already compromised my view of an infinite supply of Partyhats. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any compromises whatsoever from those who are reluctant to support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Releasing an infinite amount of Partyhats will not "destroy" the Partyhats.

In fact, releasing an infinite amount of Partyhats will actually save the Partyhats.

That's right, save them from extinction, many are already lost, alched, wishing welled, hoarded or removed from the game to the point that the average regular player has no connection to it.

It's holiday spirit has been hijacked by flip/merch/investors or otherwise pawned by third-party rwters.

So, from the observable evidence, it's clear that flip/merch/investing Partyhats is an overpowered leech activity and it must be nerfed and thus, balance the game.

Thus, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter will address that issue and help balance the game.

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, it's a multiple win! :D 'o.0'

Dude, if your ego needs some love then by all means take credit, it's not like the flip/merch/investors weren't bragging about it on this very topic for years or anything :P

Look, the topic isn't about you, the topic is about Partyhats.

In other words, the topic is about Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Anyway, I say again that I am in favor of an infinite supply of Partyhats, but I have an open mind and I'm supportive of other suggestions.

Here's a list of other ideas that have been presented, check it out:

Catalog of suggestions about Partyhats on Treasure Hunter:


1. All of the original Partyhats on Treasure Hunter

2. Christmas Crackers on Treasure Hunter because that's where Partyhats originated

3. Addition of new colours and Partyhats with sparkly effect

4. Reboot of Yelps Wheel Of Fortune, The Wheel Partyhats Of Fortune

5. Dong U Dead suggested super rare "Diamond" category for Partyhats on Treasure Hunter

6.
Whatusaytome
(and others) inspired the suggestion of a tradeable item that may be won on Treaure Hunter which can be combined to make Partyhats (akin to "Salvage" and "Alchemist's Amulet Fragments" )

7. Jokku23 received news from The Ports that many of the recruits had lost party hats to shark attacks. This led to the development of Treasure Hunter "Partyhat Maps" which may be won on Treasure Hunter or traded to those who are inventive and aren't afraid of sharks.

( Please post any additional suggestions or corrections if there are any errors or omissions regarding credits or suggestions, thanks! )
For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter! :D 'o.0'

This is an interesting suggestion, however, it sounds similar to what's being discussed on another thread. While I'm not opposed to additional colors, versions, tradeable or untradeable, etc., I think of these suggestions as an addition to also having the originals released. That is, I'm firmly in favor of releasing the original Christmas Crackers and Partyhats. Ultimately, it's up to Jagex, we're just offering suggestions and casually discussing this awesome idea of Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

But, this is Jokku's thread, so he should weigh in on it.

Clearly, Jokku's wit, charming cheerfulness and clever brilliance are the foundations of this amazing thread! :D

Partyhats should be re-released via Treasure Hunter!

Jagex would get more money from spins!

Partyhats would become less expensive so more people would enjoy them!

The economy would be revitalised!

It's a win-win-win situation!

I don't see any reason not to like this, but if you tell me why this is not a good idea, I will comment on your concerns....

And, I'm certain that even Anja supports Partyhats on Treasure Hunter! :P

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, it's the right thing to do! :D 'o.0'

I'm just trying to help. I told you guys in my posts last time I came back that you have to think about the most plausible ways to make them come back. Spamming the same arguments drags you in circles and Jagex isn't going to cater to it.

If they ever touch the originals, they will only do so with the intention of bettering them. Otherwise they lose players. Therefore not helping funding for updates. There might be sales for TH, but membership sales decrease. And TH would be a limited event, while the effects are more permanent.

I only say I probably made that argument because I remember it being discussed in the original Re-Continue Partyhats thread made by pown like 2-3 years ago. I was an avid supporter to make significant changes to them, but now I want something actually realistic to happen. I may not have been the one, but I definitely added to the backbone in that argument from following the marketplace forums and learning how they are overpowered. Not just saying truths that nobody else believes.

I don't come here enough to have a full blown debate about it, but take in Jagex's perspective of what you are saying, I use to love the cheery posts myself but they don't scream out brilliant ideas with enough backbone to make it happen. The change can't be so drastic that people would quit over it.

Your help is appreciated, it's always enjoyable discussing stuff with you, but it's the flamebait and off-topic comments are what drag the thread in circles.

It must be recognized that every attempt has be made to keep the discussion on a straight line to the topic, which is clearly, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Certainly, there's been much criticism, but the positions that support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter have advanced and grown stronger, victorious on this topic in support of Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

The thread isn't going in circles, it's on a straight line to victory! :D

At times, there has been agreement to disagree because ultimately, this stuff is up to Jagex.

A number of people had previously made the claim, "people would quit if Partyhats were on Treasure Hunter!" But, it's seems unlikely because when anyone rage-quits the punchline is, "OK see you tomorrow!"

There are hundreds of threads on these forums about people returning to the game after having quit for whatever reason.

Additionally, from the observable data, the vast majority of people don't stake their account on a Partyhat, for one thing, there's simply not enough of them.

Partyhats are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the game, there's so much other stuff in the game that it would really make no difference to the gameplay if an infinite amount of Partyhats were released again.

So, I would estimate that only a handful of people would rant and rage for a day or two then carry on with their adventures.

Anyway, you're more than welcome to challenge any of the positions that support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter. There's reams of evidence that shows that the reasons for supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter are irrefutable.

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, it's a multiple win! :D 'o.0'

I agree Kalea, there's tons of derailing posts and off topic arguments, especially from the nonsupporters we frequently see here. Kono, drakeboy, blackfeather, and even Tommyboy over there whom I read every post of this thread again, are the most frequent commentators all of whom I have never seen support any idea that wasn't their own.

I agree they are trolling and fully intent on getting the thread locked rather than ever attempting to cordially discuss a way to make something happen. They don't want to care, and they won't let anything happen because they think their opinions are worth gold.

Though, it's not just owners who get damaged by release of more. Jagex will lose out by putting dev time into an event that makes their own items decrease in value. And the larger that decrease, the more potential for loss on their business end. Jagex aren't poor, but loss is loss in any business.

And if original Partyhats became worthless and easy for everybody to get again, would Jagex really sell a lot of keys in the event?

Anybody who is saving their money for one suddenly needs to find something else to aim for. Anybody with one is going to complain because some people have put serious time into getting it. So it's reviving the items for people who don't have the time and motivation, but it's removing an endgame goal for tons of people who don't have one.

I still support as long as it's not a drastic change. And I'd always favor an expansion rather than an intentional break. The more damage you do the less it appeals to anybody. New versions would be great for partying with, I certainly loved my Chromatic with all of my rainbow outfits.

Lastly can we not use my name for the Fragments idea.. I don't personally agree with it lol. Unless new untradeable versions, then okay.
