bored321 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The month of October starts with another graphical improvement to an existing area. This time, Evil DaveÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s house and the well-used town of Edgeville gets a lick of paint. The team of decorators were a little scared to progress down into Edgeville Dungeon, however, so stay tuned for further improvements to this area. You see, Vannaka is a little defensive of his existing dÃÆÃâÃâécor and, as he can wield a two-handed sword in one hand, we don't want to question him too much... The shops of RuneScape will be delivering a hefty blow to bots this month. Instead of finding shops empty of stock because a bot has bought it all, you will find infinite stock of various key items. With the Shop Improvement update, you will have everything necessary to make buying and selling more fun, and far less frustrating! Of course, we will also be tweaking the prices so this doesn't unbalance other aspects of the game. More information on this subject will be made available via this month's ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅDevelopment Diaries ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Shop ReworkÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig!

jonni Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Looks nice, will be interesting to see if this Shop improvement stops the Autoers. More Jagex humour? Your prize will be similar in nature to the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅTears of GuthixÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Å minigame, with repeatable rewards specific to two skills (not just Farming) :XD: Edit: :o shared loot! Could we be on our way to Randomly Generated team scenarios? dedicate your idle computer power to a scientific project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I am looking forward to seeing how the Shop Improvement plays out. Infinite stock of nature runes at the stores? Let's cross our fingers... :pray: Buying non-stackable objects as notes... Dare I hope :pray: Selling more than 10 items at a time to the store?

Harrington Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Appart from the Loot Sharing, there's absolutely nothing of interest for this month. A new quest, some graphics and a temporary holiday event... boring. Very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkjab Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 infinate supply of certain things :-k this sounds intresting Indeed. Less shopper bots, instead they'll go chop more wood, mine more ore and fish more. Cool. Im not excited by this month. Think i'll just give it a miss and play Halo 3 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Really is not anything much for this month. :notalk: That makes less distractions to rcing \ Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

bored321 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 From my view does not look that interesting this month. Shared loot is pointless for rare drops, not really that bothered about graphic updates and the hallween event wasn't the one i voted for anyway. The quest sounds abit boring but i'll wait and see before i comment on it, but the minigame sounds interesting. And for the bot proof shops, only really use shops to buy runes and if they are increasing prices might aswell just buy of players. Overall disappointing. edit: this quest's bark is worse than its bite. Hmm i wonder what this could mean? :pray: Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig!

Happysniff Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm all for stopping rune buying autoers, but as an old timer I am genuinely gona get pissed. First, getting runes and aising magic is made much easier with runecafting. Then they get the PC in, and now this.... The rest seems nice I guess..

lordkafei Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think you guys are underestimating the updates this month. If Jagex sets an item to infinite stock and then sets the store price, they have basically taken the economy out of the hands of the merchants. This shop update thing is not about chisels, buckets and shears. If you can buy 1000 bronze bars at Jemima's, 1000 nats at Aubry's or 1000 staffs at Zaff's, why would you buy them from a merchant? This is going to rock the pseudo-skill of merchanting to its core.

hellbellz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Very disappointed.So the only thing that would keep you happy is another GWD update? :| I'm glad Edge is getting remodeled. I was actually just thinking about it the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyGiant Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 At last, a month without major updates... two thumbs up for that one. im waiting also to see the shop update, cant really imagine how it will stop bots... has any1 seen a bot mass-buying hammers?? infinite amount of runes or feathers sounds kinda unrealistic... guess we'll wait and see This is the world we live inAnd these are the hands we're givenUse them and lets start trying To make it a place worth living in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runeman231 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Very disapointed. And not even bring up wanting a GWD-like update every month. Nothing very exciting and the shop changes will change the economy dramatically(i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about you but i can normally get lucky after awhile and find a few shops that aren't bought out... The price increase that is sure to come is going to really hit my wallet since I normally hop after say 30-50 addy arrows since they get too expensive... I hope that update is far down the road, I'm going to stockpile all types of runes and arrows in hopes that I won't have to spend my cash too much once the update is out New sigzor^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Shared loot sounds horrid. I'm assuming if you have it enabled EVERYONE in the clan chat channel will have a chance to get the drop... what if the person just died and it's their drop but they're obviously not there to see it and the others have to teleport... seems a waste to me. And at like Dagannoth Kings you have people seperated into two groups usualy, going to have to split into two chat channels so you don't have to run half way accross the room to almost certain death just to pick up an item is stupid. Of course it's optional but it just seems VERY pointless to me. Infinite stock will most likely things are more expensive when buying from shops, which depending on how they adjust it could make prices of runes etc. drop outside of shops making it impossible to sell things. Edgeville update - Fine, not even a big area though just a little village and one "dungeon" if you can call Evil Dave's house that, this is the kind of update you'd expect along with some "content" Quest sounds meh, although it sounds like a puzzle quest which are my favourite type. Be interesting to see what the reward is though. Overall not a very good month at all, only thing to "interest" me there is the Quest, the other three "updates" appear to add absolutely nothing at all to the game.

Lemeja Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Meh, it's ok I guess, I'm very dissapointed that there's no new skill being released. Halloween update isn't really anything to look forward to since we know exactly what it'll be. I can see some problems with the shared loot system IF it also works in the wilderness. The shop thing will destroy the economy for runes and probably herblore (vials) unless they raise the shop price very high, but even then the merchant's prices will just go up *hint hint*. The minigame is somewhat interesting getting xp to 3 skills in one day sounds pretty fun, but it will probably be a bit harder, so you get less xp.

Behind_you0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm curious for the consequences for Onyx-buying and Item Value's in the wild. Tough, I'll not judge this update before it comes out.
