Hi, i just want to say that i think it's really stupid idea that you can just buy rs money with real money..why you guys just can't keep this ''old school''? I like to have artisan and couple more updates in old school, great job! But you guys need to slow down with all these updates! This is enough old school for me, but i dont know for how long, if you guys keep posting new updates all the time, you guys really need to slow down. This idea is stupid.

@lucky potato

That is a great start! But like I said, it is a great start not a great conclusion. Personally from playing both aspects of the game you have to take into consideration yourself and the other players alike. I know it could be a simple solution to say "***** the runescape 3 economy, we should benefit off them." That just seems feeble and selfish. I do not want to strike you down and flame towards you. I just wanted to quickly add that.

Anyways , the idea between switching gp over the two runescapes; should not be legal. With that said, the player should have the ability to purchase bonds on both games with in game gp.

Rather than completely destroying the player driven aspect of having bonds, we should embrace it by doing the following:

Option 1)
RS3 player purchases bond
Option 2)
RS3 player sells said bond on grand exchange for RS3 gp
Optional option 3)
RS3 player purchases bond from already said RS3 player with RS3 gp
Optional option 3)
Jagex purchases said bond. An existing npc will have his stock determined by how many people are selling bonds on rs3 grand exchange. The price will be fixated on oldscape.

This option seems to create a money sink and transferring it to an existing npc in oldscape, will create a money sink for oldscape also. This option seems to be a win, win situation.

RS3 will have a money sink, while at the same time oldscape players will have the ability to purchase bonds without having other players in said game directly gaining benefits by purchasing bonds.

Optional option 4)
RS3 player uses said bond they have purchased, and redeems it for spins, membership, ability to change name, or solomon points.
Optional option 4)
Oldscape player has the ability to purchase bond within oldscape from (lets just say) the varrock general store.

I have been playing runescape for a couple of years now,

A couple of years ago i quit the "Current" EOC version of Runescape because i think the game has been over-updated. The game is too easy. If you trow some real life cash to buy some bonds all of your skills are level 99 with no sweat, the game has been ruined and less and less players are playing this game that i know of.

I know allot of ( Also dutch ) Community members that have returned to the 2007 Runescape for the nostalgic Runescape feeling without the many updates / bonds / fancy combat / easy skills.

Please do not over-update 2007 or introduce bonds. This will further "Ruin" the nostalgic game experience and turn the game into a "Pay to win" once more.

Although I really dislike micro transactions, I would support this , because RS3 has bonds, which are being used to buy OSRS cash, this would only take out the middle man, and make it easier to buy membership with OSRS cash.

Important note: if someone's membership, or free to play time has ran out, they would need a way of transferring their OSRS bank to bonds. I have an idea, where they would have a copy of their character, with access to their bank, that can transfer items by trade to other players, with bonds, in a place in OSRS. Once the player has a membership, they can return to their character, with their items they had in their inventory. Upon leaving this special area, the player is warned and asked to put all of the gold they withdrew into their bank, for fear of losing it, as this interface is only that of a temporary situation. This can be coded like as an interface that mimics the regular screen, as an illusion, or by any other means possible. The player shouldn't be able to skill, combat, or do anything besides trade for bonds/chat in this area, so people can't do anything but make them able to buy a membership.

This way my friends who had to stop playing can get back on the one true addiction: OSRS! > :)


Edit: This would also be good for when I introduce my friends to OSRS, which I do quite frequently, I can give them a bond to get membership, without having to bother with creating a character on RS3. Much more time effective! :D

I seem to recall, when OSRS was started, someone (a jmod) saying we would
NEVER
have micro-transactions here...


...or was that just a pretty lie? O_o

I seem to recall the same. If I knew that bonus experience or micro-transactions ever had the chance of being implemented then I'm not sure if I would have started. I had already quit RS3 by the time SOF was introduced but it ensured that I would never return to RS3. I worry those ideas may be entertained in the future.

No way! Back in 2007 this wouldn't of been allowed..

I cant see how you can justify banning accounts for breaking the rules, when really this is real world trading. If you did this you will have to start un-banning peoples accounts, as you are now breaking the rules.
