I really wish we could have poll for the Grand Exchange, I think a lot of the community would support it.

Let's imagine for a minute that we polled the GE, here and now, today...

There's a lot of people who'd vote against it, for a whole variety of reasons. In every "GE pl0x" thread, there's a "no to GE" response.

Now, we could take a bit of time to identify something that more people would support. Maybe a trade system that lets you find a trade partner without having to spam all over Varrock, but keeps the personal interaction of the 2007 trading.

Suppose it passed anyway. We wouldn't actually be able to deliver it right off. We'd have to wait until the game engine team is going to be available for a big project like that, and schedule it in. This might not be a big wait, or it might turn into another Routefinding update where you wind up waiting months. We couldn't predict.

Anyway, since it's going to be a big job, and potentially a long wait whatever happens, we may as well take the time to work with the community and try to make something that'd get strong support rather than just falling back on copying the GE "because that's what RS3 did".

I expect we'll be putting together some kind of survey to gauge opinions properly. At the moment it's all a bit anecdotal with some people asking for the GE and others hating it.


We should just copy World of Warcraft's Auction House system. I've seen a lot of people who are familiar with the system agree, it's at least worth looking into.

Will you be doing anything about the PID situation? Though you fixed the following one another bug there's still alot of problems this change brought up, affecting any type of PVP action.

It would be in the greatest interest if you would consider the PRE-EOC PID system, as this is not as abusable as the IP system aswell as having no bugs.

Thanks,

Nice Devblog!

Any chance of adding a functionality for operate option for binding necklaces? Currently no way of knowing how many charges they have left. They come with 15 charges but the only way to keep track of that is keeping a mental note.

Why isn't magic potion damage boost being polled? :(
Also world hopping without having to wait 30 seconds (rs3 got this recently)



As for world hopping, that would make it even easier to hop worlds and hog all the rune mining spots and shop items.

I would have to agree i dont rly see much of any positives here with quick hopping or removing the 30 seconds waiting period it would wreack havick on this type of game. For rs3 it would probably be fine as rs3 has changed so much but for here on old school i really dont see how removing it would be any good..

Btw, what about the Varrock guards? They don't fit with the rest of the guard's graphics in-game and they look quite odd for Oldschool Runescape.


theres a lot of npc* that dont rly fit old school.. such as another exampe the imps on 2007scape :p .. I really do think that sooner or later they will poll for older schooled graphics i just dont like waiting for these kinds of things =C.

^ Personalized shops is a BAD idea. It should be added to the community dislikes list along with the GE.


The community doesn't dislike the GE, good try though.

@Mod Ash. I say you stay on the GE idea and work with it until we find a solution that everyone wants. Maybe some sort of a tax like you guys suggested, or even only doing trades when you're online. The majority of the community uses zybz(mini ge) because of how much easier it is to find items.

Other than that, good Devblog. :)
