Rather than making the Auction House's location similar to that of the G/E, make it dispersed through stalls in the major city markets, such as Varrock, Falador, and Ardougne. Keep the traders in the cities where they belong.


An auction house is not a market stall

ok lets all me honest. this is so much like the g.e. and isnt that what players hated and didn* want in oldschool. i might be wrong but i seen so many people say if g.e. comes to oldschool they will just stop playing all together, trade systems wouldnt bother me because im more in to the combat side of runescape. i dont want to have alot of negative comments about this im only saying what i think about it.

They SAY they'd quit. If they're still playing this game, I think they're too committed to quit over one aspect of the game.

What do you mean you aren't affected, since you're involved in combat? this update affects everything. Say you do bossing, and don't have the money to stock up in bulk. When you have to sell your loot, so you can restock, it will take you hours to sell it and get back to the boss, rather than minutes. How long it takes depends a lot on your time zone, or what day it is... I'm in GMT +8, and I cop the worst of it, since the player count is at its lowest when I'm playing.

"Just bring Zy's format to RS. A posting board on the official RS site that actually works (not the current forum format obvs)."

I agree completely, its simple and easy enough to use.

"Don't do this to the game. It's going to completely devalue skills that require you to gather items."

I agree. Seen the impact of the GE allready in the past.

"The GE made buying and selling extremely convenient. But, the cost of that was that players no longer had to struggle and interact with other players to upgrade their gear. Any item you wanted, you could have instantly...if you had the cash."

Again, good point. To succeed in oldschool, you have to find your own way to get your supplies or sell them, this is the beauty of this game - every aspect (including social) of the gameplay counts. Atm, everything is in perfect balance.

No. Stop copying WoW and think up something on your own.


So you would like square wheels too because Jagex didn't think of them first? This is a very promising solution; it's very important to see who you are trading with - who the merchants, trolls and skillers are.


Offline Trading (68% wanted)
I voted for a short period for offline trading so that you could still sell stuff and change worlds, take a break for bathroom etc. I'm not sure if I like the idea of prolonged absence so maybe the 6 hour session time is a good fit for duration of offers.
