It seems that Party Pete was so busy partying that he forgot to inform everyone of a change to his Party Room!

 

 

 

You see, Party Pete is on a life-long mission to bring the 'party' to everyone on RuneScape, so he has developed an unlikely partnership with the Bank of RuneScape. Through this alliance, he believes that the 'party' will spread like wildfire.

 

 

 

Now, when the Party Room lever has been pulled, different things will happen according to the market value of the items in the party chest:

 

 

 

* A value of up to 50k: there is a 10 second delay before the balloons drop.

 

* 50k - 150k: there is a 1 minute delay before the balloons drop. The Falador bankers and Party Room barmaids will announce that a party is happening.

 

* 150k - 1 million: there is a 5 minute delay before the balloons drop. The Falador men and women, bankers and Party Room barmaids will announce that a party is happening.

 

* 1 million+ : there is a 10 minute delay before the balloons drop. The Falador men and women, bankers and Party Room barmaids will announce that a party is happening. Nearly all the bankers across RuneScape will also announce that a party is happening, and will offer free teleports to the Party Room.

 

 

 

The bankers have entered into this agreement as they believe it will stop the Party Room being used as a means of transferring wealth covertly.

 

 

 

 

I personally think this is a positive update, in a certain way.

 

But however, we will always be interrupted by newbies who will get teleported to our private party

 

 

 

Discuss.

It seems pretty good but I still don't like the whole "NPC's screaming out party" system.

 

 

 

But if it stops RWT, I suppose isn't too bad. They're really cracking down on RWT now aren't they?

its another way to stop RWT. Only this one actually sounds well done. Unlike.. coughstakingcough

I think the free teleports is a bit much, otherwise a good update.

The Death of Real World Trading

 

(And PKing)

 

(And Dueling)

 

(And Merching)

 

 

 

Is upon us!

 

 

 

:D :D :D

 

 

 

 

 

Explanation:

 

 

 

1.Duel Arena Updates - They made the duel arena back into what it used to be, a place to use your best armour and fight each other without losing items. (And to stop stakers getting 5357356364 Masks)

 

 

 

2. Grand Exchange - They limit prices so nobody can charge exceptionally low for real life trading, or charge very high to transfer large amounts of cash.

 

 

 

3. Party Place - Announcing to the banks how much is being dropped and easy access to get there, people can no longer RL trade thier either :)

 

 

 

So, whats the only three ways to transfer items unbalanced now?

 

 

 

- Trading

 

- Drop Trading

 

- PKing

 

 

 

Trading - I think they will make it so trades have to be balanced, but that of course will nerf lending items to genuine friends so I hope they will accomidate for this.

 

 

 

Drop Trading - Make it so you can only destroy items? or have drop partys in set locations?

 

 

 

PKing - Not sure on what they'd to do this

its another way to stop RWT. Only this one actually sounds well done. Unlike.. coughstakingcough

 

 

 

Have you spent much time in a bank lately? It's godawful annoying.

I understand why this helps against RWT, but your party shouldnt be accessable for every noob and mercher in the whole of Gielenor!

Nice idea but I am surprised Jagex hasn't updated the wilderness so you can't bring more gp into the wilderness - it's an easy and effective update. Not like people need to bring gp into wildy (maybe put a cap to 3k so you can still buy pizzas from bandits spot).

i dont really like this update as it lets allmost everyone know that you are haveing a party which would be a pain if you only wanted a few people there

Mister, I think they will...

 

 

 

But it won't cap GP... It'll be value of items to stop them buying items and getitng killed to switch em across.

What about the balloon drop party at the Monks south of Ardougne?

Yep.. PKing is next. And then hoo boy, you are going to hear a lot of hollering.

 

 

 

And the price drops on skill outputs we see now will be nothing by comparison.

Thank you very much Jagex :D. Now there will be a lot more drop parties for me . But a lot of newbs and noobs will come to my and my friends drop parties...But I think it's worth it. Good update :)

Sounds like a good update to me. Haven't seen how annoying the bankers hollering can be though as I'm going to be on Crandor for a while. However it looks like the end of 'Private' F2p parties in the Party Room.

This will be a huge blow to private parties. I've been to a few parties where a high-level friend was going away and dropped a large amount of items. Now every noob and beggar is going to be invited to Falador to grab the loot.

 

 

 

The free teleport is definitely overkill, if someone was interested they could teleport there, it would prevent noobs from gaining easy access to private parties.

 

 

 

Also, the increasingly long delay can be a serious party killer - most people start with the drop and then celebrate, but now they'll be dawdling for ten minutes before the balloons come down.

I might have seen this the other day even tho they announced it today.

 

 

 

Im almost certain i saw a banker yelling "240k party at the party room" yesterday.

 

 

 

They did mention that party pete forgot to tell us but im not sure.

Can you run private drop parties in your house? (never tried)???

Ok great, now the party room is officially useless for small parties... once you put in 10m+ and pull the lever now every noob and beggar from throughout RuneScape that was near a banker will appear in a matter of seconds.

private drop parties = house parties always.

 

 

 

i never use the party room unless i actually don't care who gets the items. i thought the bankers in fally have always announced the parties anyway...

I welcome this update firstly because it makes sense in terms on cutting down Real World Trading, and secondly because Jagex actually came out with their reasoning for the decision in the actual news itself;

 

 

 

The bankers have entered into this agreement as they believe it will stop the Party Room being used as a means of transferring wealth covertly.

 

 

 

I assume they learnt their lesson with the whole Duel Arena change ranting where they suggested that the decision to bring in the 3k limit was to encourage the tournament mode, when in actual fact it was all for RWT.

 

 

 

From now on if you want to have a small party with some of your closest friends without the whole server knowing you'll just have to use the old 'Drop Party' method. :wink:

very smart idea on Jagex's part, luckily i'm not a fan of private parties, not that they exist anymore.

im seriously losing faith in the game :|

What's next? Jagex deleting RuneScape to stop RWTing? >_>

Not very interesting update for me, as I never even go close to the party room, but isn't the free tele and 10 min waiting a little bit too much?

I think this update was pretty good idea. :)
