December 23, 200718 yr Intro One of the most drastic measures Jagex are about to apply inorder to deal with RWT is the unbalanced trade system, a 3k price range for all ingame trades outside of the GE. As you probably alredy know,this basically means no more free gifts,no more lucky bargains,no more drop parties,no more sharing supplies and drops between friends but also no more scams (welll..not completely) etc... A week later (17/12) Jagex stated that they gonna apply some modifications and additions to the game such as a lending system and an upgraded shareloot system inorder to ease the pain. However,all this updates seems like a lame imitation for something we took for granted not so long ago. They were a lot of suggestions in TIF and in Qelter's truthscape site but none of them dealt straightly with the aspect that was presented in Lime's bye bye membership thread,the ability to interact freely between friends. Few notes before we begin. 1. They were about approximately 1 mil ideas regarding how to save the game after the 10/12/07 "disaster" so it is more than possible you saw a similar suggestion some place else, i didn't. 2. All the figures in this thread are just an example, whats important is the idea not the numbers. 3. I doubt this feature i am suggesting below will ever be implemented by Jagex. ************************************************************* The new friendship system. A new feature will be introduced to the game,friendship points. The friendship pts will determine the extent of unbalanced trades between 2 friends. How do we get those friendship points ? In order to gain friendship pts the 2 friends will have to go to a two-players,"Tears of guthix" style minigame and like TOG, the time they will be able to spend in the game will be determined by QPs but also by sum of the two players total levels. A more "expreinced" couple will be able to gain more points per visit. How often? Each player will be able to access the minigame once a day. Each couple will be able to access the minigame once a week. Example: Michael,who has 3 friends he wishes to "unlock", will go with his friend Sara on sunday,with Lincoln on monday,and with Sucre on saterday.Only on sunday,a week after, he will be able to re-unite with Sara,the day after with Linc and so on... where do i see my friendship pts? in your friendlist,see the image above Whats the max Friendship points if any? Upon reaching 50000 pts,the 2 players will "unlock" their friendship and will be able to interact freely. How long will it take to unluck a friendship? 2 players with which their totals sums up to 3400 levels and 400 QP will be able to unlock their friendship in about 6 months. 2 players with which their totals sums up to 100 levels and 10 QP will be able to unlock their friendship in about 6 years. How can i use my friend points ? Basically,each 1k fp will allow an addition of 10k beyond the 3k rule. But(!!),each time you perform a transaction which exeeds the 3k rule you and your friend will loose some of your friend points according to the amount transfered.This is for preventing any RWT abuse. Is it RWT proof? Theoretically no,practicly i dont see any scenario were a RWT and a buyer will get together once a week for a year+ just to unlock their friendship. Jagex will also have a better monitoring on those who unlocked their friendship. Does this friendship unlocked thing apply to a friend's death and shareloot? Yes F2P/P2P/Both ? Both, though naturally F2Ps,due to their low total levels and QPs, will have hard time getting their friendship unlock (but hey! its better than nothing). This is it,those were my 2.5 cents regarding how to recover some of the freedom we lost. Ye, this requires lot of work and dedication for something we had to for free not so long ago but..mmm..well :wall: Your constructive ideas/thoughts are welcomed.
December 23, 200718 yr Wow a great idea (at least way better than no more free stuff for friends) I would also suggest a little bit small time for unlocking, 3 months maybe? also at different amounts there will be partial unlocks, up to 100k every 15 mins for 40k and 80k for 30k stuff like that (still not enough to be worth while for RWT's) P.S. please update your idea with any info that you agree with from here
December 23, 200718 yr Why earn frienship points? - to be able to trade in more than just 3000gp? (eg. recieve 3000gp from a friend) :wink: This is an awesome idea man, you just have to provide for its purpose. =D> Like my idea, Quest points are essential. Basically, the main point is to implement in the minds of players that: "Making new accounts are hard", as they have to do more quests, minigames (as you suggest), and generally, do more stuff to be able to trade above 3000gp.(Why am I mentioning about new accounts? Its because this is where the RWT's bussiness start) Keep you ideas coming, we need them :thumbsup:
December 23, 200718 yr Author Thx for the coments guys also at different amounts there will be partial unlocks, up to 100k every 15 mins for 40k and 80k for 30k stuff like that (still not enough to be worth while for RWT's) P.S. please update your idea with any info that you agree with from here You're right,I forgot to add the way you use friend points when doing unbalanced trades. I will edit it now.
December 23, 200718 yr Would this be F2P too? I personally don't really care, but I know many people do. Either way, I support. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
December 23, 200718 yr How often? Each player will be able to access the minigame once a day. Each couple will be able to access the minigame once a week. What would you get if you went there on your own? Obviously u cant get friendship points, so would there be xp reward like tears? or something else? Hmmm.... I need a new siggy, get round to doing it later. Probably.

What would you get if you went there on your own? Obviously u cant get friendship points, so would there be xp reward like tears? or something else? This is a two-player mini-game. When i said Each player will be able to access the minigame once a day i meant you can choose other friend to go there with,you wont be able to go there with the same friend more than once a week.
December 23, 200718 yr Intro How long will it take to unluck a friendship? 2 players with a total of 3700 levels and 450 QP will be able to unlock their friendship in about 6 months. you can't have 450 qp also sounds a little young and pointless Visit my awesome quest point cape Blog
December 23, 200718 yr Intro How long will it take to unluck a friendship? 2 players with a total of 3700 levels and 450 QP will be able to unlock their friendship in about 6 months. you can't have 450 qp also sounds a little young and pointless I just noticed that part, and my opinion about this is starting to change. In order to unlock a friendship in 6 months, the two players would have to have an average of 1850 levels, and 225 QP? That's A LOT. And that's just 6 months. Also, F2Pers would also be harmed. Their max QP is what, 40-50? It'll take them quite a while. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
December 24, 200718 yr Also, F2Pers would also be harmed. Their max QP is what, 40-50? It'll take them quite a while. Max QP is 39, max total level 1485, which means that if any F2P players wanted to unlock a friendship, we'd have to wait forever. Then again, who cares about F2P?.. /FG/First thread post to when I joined the family.[hide=Insert rant here]blahblahblahLIFE[/hide]
December 24, 200718 yr I was thinking of something along the lines of this, great idea... Suggest it to Jagex, they said they were open to ideas. Anyways, I support it, I give my friends stuff alot, and this would definitely help me! Penguin Power!^The last great war of the Wilderness....Yeah, I don't have a cool signature, so the MSSW3 sig will have to do....
December 24, 200718 yr Author i did some editing to make things a bit clearer. also made some fine tuning with the numbers though, as i said, this is just an example. Last,i added an answer to the million gp question,P2P only or both?
