I read a thread today in ninja forum about making orts citadel only.

Those who frequent here know it would never be considered, for good reason.

But it reminded me of whent the debate about reducing upkeep was raised.

I remember being against it, & now I can't even find an argument against it.

I like that when every time a clan member asks if they should cap I say

"NO, GO & PLAY RUNESCAPE!"

I mean I understand we'd like skilling at citadel to be more dynamic, but we also know that might never be the case.

So it was a good decision to get people out of stand & click in the citadel to out in the Runescape world.

Yes I know some of the Runescape world is stand & click :P but there's also a lot more out there too.

Slightly off topic, I read through the forum moderation review forum today, coz i had something i asked for help on, & just started reading, & the J-Mods do a lot of work I don't give them credit for.

With all the communicating they do woth everyone, it makes me wonder how they get anything done!

Personally I think making orts an additional reward for capping would be a good idea. Perhaps 500 orts per full cap claimed from the taskmaster. Allowing then for people who cap regularly to turn off ort spawning outside the citadel, so they don't need to see them alongside other drops. It could also be an extra incentive to do citadel, removing the small inconvenience of picking up the small ort drops :P

Orts being stored with the quartermaster has been a nice change. I also like being able to pick them up without them taking up a bank space. Seeing how many are banked is good as well.

As for capping... Sigh. Our tick is late Monday afternoon. Right now, as I cap, it's late Friday morning. I'm visitor #3. I know our deputy owner has capped. We'll probably hammer out the rest of the upkeep over the weekend.

If the time it takes to cap could just be sped up it would help. No upkeep required would be even better.

Edit: I forgot to comment on where we get our orts. Limiting them to citadel might be a good update. Picking them up as we're doing other things around Runescape has never been very popular.

yeah i would love an increase to capping speed+resources/minute. At the moment it will probably take my clan like a year to get tier 7 from tier 6, this just seems stupidly long and a buff to speed might help a bit both with maintaining upkeep and reaching our goals. 36/38 Boss Pets

We meet upkeep within a few hours of the tick ( which is a Tuesday) , with a race on to see who gets the covered cap first title.

Citadel is not mandatory in clan, nor is even visiting, since we have t7. All plots are open for everyone to use as they see fit and we regularly document over 40 full cappers a week.

Its still took us near about a year to get t6 - t7, and we did struggle to reach the ( what was the higher ) visitor total every week.

Now we are proud of our shiny citadel, its somewhere clan mates who perhaps wouldn't normally hang out together do hang out with a common purpose .

I like the idea of orts from the citadel only, though I don't think it would make any difference to my clan, and possibly wouldn't be enough of an incentive to those who don't cap now

Still my opinion that upkeep should be completely removed and allow people to enjoy building it to tier 7 without fear of it one day being depleted, upkeep just adds pressure to maintain it, i personally think building it should be enough, same concept is applied to our player owned houses, so why not citadels?

I wouldnt be against orts from citadel only, i think the idea has merit. it makes sense as its a citadel feature

Absolutely dont agree with making the build cost any lower though.

I think we are more likely to remove Citadels altogether than we are to remove upkeep - depletion and upkeep are essential parts of the design. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey
