June 15, 200719 yr As originally posted by me on the rs forums (Quick find code: 24-25-272-45733281) --- I am sure many of us have gone through this. You need to sell something on one of the market worlds (1 or 2) or you have a friend waiting for you but the world they are on is full. So you have to either give up and come back later or reload the worlds page until you get lucky. Well I have another possibility. Something that many other heavily visited places on the web use. The waiting que/que line. Essentially what it would do is when you clicked on a world that was full it would take you to a page that would ask you for the username and the password of your account. Once entered correctly it would load the next page (if done incorrectly it would let you know and allow you to try again). On the next page there would be a little area that said "You are currently in line for world x, there are y players waiting ahead of you. The number would update periodically so that you would know about how long until you got in. Once you got in it would take the data you had entered for your name and password and use that to automatically log you in. This of course would only matter for a world that showed up as full. Any other world would load like it does now (or perhaps you could move the login page that shows how many messages you have/when you last logged in/etc to there and have all the worlds work like that, but without the wait). This way getting into full worlds wouldn't be a race where the luckiest or those with the best computer normally win. There would be a steady flow in and out and each could wait their turn making it far more fair for everyone. --- Feel free to post your thoughts here, but if you support this don't forget to visit the post on the rs forums (via the quick find code) and say that you support it on there.
June 15, 200719 yr A bit like Habbo hotel? I like this. Would it say "X amount of players in queue for world X"?. Suh-pported. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât
