engineer could just be a subtab in crafting, construction, firemaking and smithing, but a new skill, NO

 

 

 

How could it be F2p if you have to use construction?

 

Also, Bubbyjoe, I think you need to do something about the hide/show tab thingys.

[Lightshayde]

I personally think it's a good idea.

SUPPORT SIG!

I'm back after a long while.

 

 

 

I haven't been paying much attention to this forum in a while, and almost considered abandoning the topic.

 

 

 

But, I decided not to. I will continue to improve this thread with the right feedback, and clean it up after the "disaster".

 

 

 

(Removes hide/show tags)

[bubbyjoe2]

I support, very detailed ideas. I'm sure jagex could run away with it. Although I think maybe they would use a technology skill, so they could include sailing. Since they have all the new pirate updates and all. you never know though

 

 

 

I considered joining this with other concepts to make a "Transportation" skill, I think Technology doesn't seem to fit as well.

[bubbyjoe2]

I feel this topic needs to be bumped.

 

 

 

I feel you need to die.

 

 

 

Why did you bump this god-awful topic?

 

 

 

Why did you bump it again? :P

[storm39]

I support this fully. This would be a great skill for higher level f2p players.

[zaybex]

I don't like it. It's so directly infused with Smithing that if anything, it should be an addition to Smithing. Plus, it'll clutter up already-cluttered maps. F2P is a grand total of 4 large cities and 4 smaller ones, it doesn't need this. Being able to jump off a train would be way too convenient for Jagex's tastes. Like Smithing and Mining, once enough people level the skill, they won't be using each others' trains, so there goes another previously-useful, now-useless method of making money. I think if F2P was given canoes, Engineering wouldn't be needed at all. Speaking of canoes - watching your character ride a train is boring, just like watching your character paddle a canoe. Jagex realized that and updated canoes. Engineering won't happen. Hopefully, neither will sailing...

 

 

 

 

 

(at Jagex Towers)

 

"Hey guys, I have a wonderful idea. Let's nullify walking!"

 

"Yes, let's just put in mounts and make it more like WoW! WoW is popular!"

 

"We can't copy WoW. Let's introduce cars! They'll be kind of slow and you'll have to crank them, and you'll only go a bit faster than running and can't use agility obstacles!"

 

"No no, let's put in trains and make it a whole new skill to go with it!"

 

"Oh, that sure is a great idea! Because honestly, three spellbooks, fairy rings, canoes, balloons, teletabs, house portals, spirit trees, gliders, enchanted jewellery, ships, wilderness portals, death, eagles, mining carts, magic carpets, agility shortcuts, the abyss, Karamja cart service, random teleports like Shantay-Port Sarim, and other item teleports aren't enough! And F2P needs a reason to not go members and give us more money with which to pay our staff!"

 

 

 

...no.

[storm39]

I have a few ideas to improve this.

 

 

 

1. Trains should be underground.

 

If they're underground, tracks won't have to be shown anywhere aside from the stations. This will solve just about every map problem(people getting hit by trains, etc.).

 

 

 

2. Random events on trains.

 

Every now and then, bandits could hide out on the trains, and strike in the middle of a ride. Players would have to fend them off. To make sure that low level players are safe, they would go after high level players first. Instead of killing you, they would attack you until you're at 1 hp, them steal a few of your items(nothing over a certain amount, though, and each bandit would only take one). If a player manages to kill one, they would get the drop. Of course, there would have to be limits to make RWT impossible. This is just a basic concept.

 

 

 

Also, to the people that complain that smithing is required...

 

Woodcutting is required for firemaking(unless you buy logs). Mining is required for Smithing(unless you buy ores). I don't see people complaining about either of those. You'd still be able to buy parts from other players.

 

 

 

To the people that think that it will drive people away from becomming members...

 

Jagex is giving f2p the most boring experience possible. All that does is make f2p players think that members is just as boring, just with a bigger world and more items. Instead something like this would make f2p players think something like "This is amazing! And I hear that members get all kinds of this stuff!" Just something to consider...

@ your first and second points:

 

 

 

DID YOU ACTUALLY READ THE FIRST POST?

 

The tracks are above ground level (like, in the sky.)

 

And there ARE random events.

 

Really.

[abdussattar]

this is what i call awesome.

 

 

 

but i dont think this will be accepted because "f2p dunn p@y t3y r n00bz"

 

 

 

but you have my full support.

 

 

 

maybe, it could be possible that, suppose you are going from varrok to falador. the timetable says how much fuel you'll need. and when you bring the required fuel, then only the train will leave. or how will you mine coal if ur in the middle of the way and you dont have a pickaxe? or dont have an axe to cut logs?

Thanks for the support, and I think needing sufficient fuel for the whole trip is much simpler tha running out in the middle of the tracks.

I read the post. I just think that trains being in the sky would seem a bit... odd. Trains being underground would make more sense. I was also simply suggestions on random events.

[Commando1213]

I already supported, but i have a comment, F2P are the Mexicans of Runescape, we dont want our workforce to go away, so the Members (Americans of RS) try to help them so MORE Mexicans come to play. :thumbsup:

[magmaguard3]

I support it. I think it would be cool. I like the Robbery mini game idea. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Add me to support list..

[Insane212]

are u a train spotter?

[Robert_de_Sable]

It should be members only.

 

F2P doesn't pay, they DO NOT deserve any more skills.

[zaybex]

F2P is technically a demo. It does not deserve any updates, ever. Those who do not wish to pay for the full game are very lucky to be able to enjoy the graphics update.

[Guest]

Support, though JaGex staed No more F2P skills ...Darn :wall:

[Danno385]

looks well thought out and cool but to futuristic.

[LiChef]

looks well thought out and cool but to futuristic.

 

 

 

Too futuristic for fantasy? :?

 

 

 

Anyway... I support as well. I think this is a great idea, although there does seem to be stations/stop off points in a lot of cities. For example Draynor is literally only seperated by a wall to Port Sarim, so maybe just one of those two?

 

 

 

though JaGex staed No more F2P skills

 

 

 

True :wall:

 

 

 

I think if some people are worried about the map being cluttered (with railroad lines cutting across everything) then you should mention a button you can press on the world map to take you to another -above ground- map. And if you fancy it, this could also feature other forms of transport (Enchanted Journey Balloons and other transport etc) making it a -transport- map.

[cravey]

I have a sugestion

 

 

 

Fast Locomotive- 90 Engineer, 80 Smithing, 350 Steel bars, 450 nails. Speed is 25 SPS, pulls up to 5 cars.

 

but it only stops at Lumbridge, Falador, Varrok and Edgeville

 

 

 

also are the rail tracks under ground or where but otherwise

 

 

 

surport!!!!!!

[boydeath]

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this would be an awesome skill.

[awesome400]

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this would be an awesome skill.

 

 

 

nice job bumping a 5 month thread

 

3 different teleports

 

 

 

actually theres 5 u forgot skull sceptre and explorer ring

[riptide5000]

hers an idea the train is running in a tunnel underground if you jump from the train you appear in this tunnel but there are several ladders to the surface down here also to prevent suicidal players you cannot cross the tracks
