Oh, God I love those old screen shots. It brings back so many memories, when I saw those trading screens and so. It gave me a special taste in my mouth. Yea, that sounds weird, but I can't explain it any other way. God, I wish Runescape remained classic. :(

 

 

 

Can't say it gave me a special taste or anything of that nature :uhh: but I certaintly wish Runescape remained classic also :(

It looked more fun when players actually could have a normal conversation with the creators rather then having now be one of the 1K "attention-horny" players when Andrew logs (rarely) in on a public server.

 

 

 

Ah, modern times. Who doesn't like them?

Ahh the days when it would take you days to do the Vampire Slayer quest and would take you a month to be able to mine iron. Runescape was hard back then and imo much more fun. All these people boo hooing about more bank space don't know how easy they've got it.

Aye ... back in the days when the only bank space you had was your inventory.

 

 

 

I preferred money only banks over. Even back when they were new I never really supported the idea of Item banks. Sure it was nice to be able to store valuable items but I think they made them too good.

 

 

 

They should never have given players more then a single bank page, also the 'almost' endless ability to stack items in the bank was not wise. Thirdly I dislike how items deposited in one bank can instantly be gotten from another in a far away town.

 

 

 

Item banks simply made the game to easy and made large parts of it irrelevant.

Now this is funny! :lol:

 

if that was tip it..... what was runescape like :ohnoes:

I have to agree with you its a little stupid that you can deposit a pizza or sword into a bank at one end of the world then withdraw it at the other end. Having a bottomless pit to store items that can later be withdrawn from any location means nothing ever gets thrown out and there is no traveling required to fetch an item just the nearest bank and you have everything.

 

 

 

EDIT: what I mean by bottomless pit is that item circulation in runescape is very low and so is travelling because people do not need to get rid of items nor do they have to travel to a specific location to pick one up.

 

 

 

Ill be the first to admit I never throwing things out as long as theres a space it can fit into my garage is proof of this.

There's a bank space limit and that stops the bottomless pit thing. I can't imagine how hard it would be to get certain 99's without a bank in RSC.

Yes but the limit is something ridiculous like 120 million items per slot. For all points and purposes it provides endless storage of items. There is also around 280 slots available for Members. There is not really anything which stops players from keeping any potentially useful item.

 

 

 

People now play the games around what resource is nearest to the bank. It has made large parts of the game irrelevant because players quickly find out the most efficient paths.

 

 

 

Before Item banks was released there was dozen more variables. If someone wanted to smith steel they would have to find the closest combination of Iron, Coal, Furnace and Anvil. Today the player just finds the Iron source nearest to the bank, the coal source nearest to a bank, the furnace nearest to the bank and the anvil nearest to the bank. They also have to decide wither to drop their pickaxes or hammer to gain extra inventory space or to keep them between trips. Now they just stockpile them in their bank accounts.
