17 December 2007 - Future Changes to Recent Updates Next

As promised in last week's newspost, here are some of the initial ideas we have to further improve the player interaction in the game.

1. Expect the first new single-way player-vs-player combat area to hit the game in the first half of next year, along with a number of other PvP updates in the future.

2. As many people have suggested, we're planning to raise the 3,000gp staking/trading limit for certain players. This will be proportional to the number of Quest Points you have, with the top-end being ten-times what it is now! This should still offer protection from cheats, while also giving you more flexibility in your staking and trading activities.

3. We're looking at a way of giving LootSharers the ability to receive their drops as coins straight away, so that large items can be split between the party immediately. To avoid unbalancing the economy, we’re investigating ways that this could be tied in with the Grand Exchange (i.e, with the item in question being sold on the Exchange and the resulting proceeds being split between the team).

4. We are planning on adding an 'item lending' feature to the game. To prevent indefinite loans, you will be able to lend an item for the duration of your session (once either the lender or receiver logs out, the item will go back again). Obviously, we need to design this VERY carefully to cover all eventualities, but we reckon we can work something out.

These are just a taster of the many ideas we have gathered from you or from our developers. They should really improve your enjoyment of RuneScape, without opening the door for real-world traders. This doesn’t even mention the Grand Exchange, which we can go into more detail about…

The Grand Exchange

We have to hold our hands up and admit that a handful of starting prices were a little off. It was a huge task to get 15,000+ items valued correctly and some slipped through the net. We’re on the case, though, as we have already formed a team to manage the Grand Exchange!

As well as getting the starting price right, this team will regularly check prices on an ongoing basis, making sure that they naturally and accurately represent the current state of the player economy. Of course, they won’t be alone, as YOU will be there to help them! A new Forum, centred on the Grand Exchange, will be available to highlight any concerns you have about prices and marketplace matters, while a new web page is already in the works which will allow you to track item prices over a long period of time.

Some smaller changes to the Grand Exchange:

* Purchased items of a large quantity will be automatically noted
* There will be less unnecessary clicks when buying or selling items
* A ‘1,000’ quantity button will be introduced
* Access to single-click increases to your item quantity

My opinion: doesn't look too promising. If they are not going to allow any possibility of RWT, the updates will be crud.
 
I was going to edit this in, but it isn't working.

My opinion: doesn't look too promising. If they are not going to allow any possibility of RWT, the updates will most likely be very limited.

1. I imagine that any new 1vs1 combat area will be a "safe" minigame. In other words: utterly pointless. Either that, or they won't let you pick your opponent. I sure wouldn't want to face off against a lvl 126.

And guess what? They said it will be released during the first half of next year. Not very fast action considering the current situation.

2. Woohoo. If you complete all the quests (and if the other person also did), you might be able to stake 30k every 15 minutes! Useless.

3. I suppose this is good. Whatever.

4. I guess this is good. Doesn't do much to repair the game though.


I especially liked this statement:

They said they did these updates so they wouldn't have to spend so much time banning people. Well look now. They need a whole team just to adjust prices that used to be self adjusting.

<sarcasm>Good job, Jagex</sarcasm>
 
They said all that to stop all the spam in the rants forum.
 
i just cant wait for new summoning skill, and barrow item feature.
 
I have a difficult time looking forward to any other updates given the elimination of the wilderness and staking. I always did other skills so that they would aid me there.

Pking and staking were the only 2 things that kept me playing.

I haven't even logged on RS in a few weeks anyway :)
 
I agree staking was always fun, i was too chicken to venture into the wildy, nevertheless members wildy. I always got p00ned there.

The updates arent even coming until early next YEAR, how nice of them (instert sarcasm here)
