Fishing Trawler XP Boost and point system to revive the game?
I noticed that even after the mini-game chat channel update with a direct teleport to Port Khazard; Fishing trawler was still dead. And I know why, as I played it a lot in the past and recall it being an interesting diversity but giving bad XP and the unique rewards all being high level content, which is now super-expensive due to the game being dead.
This is a bit of a big idea, but I personally think adding better XP to the mini-game and a point system that let the player buy the unique rewards from Fish Flingers (Fishing outfit pieces and Tackle-boxes) would fill in a void and give players a reason to consistently play the mini-game, thus attracting a community and acting as a beneficial diversion for fishers or even an alternative training method.
I also think having the deposit box at the game be a bank box would help as fishers don't carry money/swamp tar around and also intend to go back to fishing afterwards which might require their combat bracelet/camelot teleport. In fact, every time I have ever went to play the game, I have forgotten something required to play the game. Also, the shop should sell swamp tar, even if for a higher price. I don't see how 'Swamp tar can only be gained from lumbridge but is also pretty crucial to the game' benefits anybody e_e
I remember having a lot of fun with this mini-game years ago before it died and would absolutely LOVE to see it brought back to life. Us Fishers don't talk very much, so fishing mini-games were a fun way to interact with the people we fished with so often but never talk to while fishing normally.
Thank you very much for reading
