should there be insurance

[archimage_a]

it should be if u are killed u get back stuff, as long as it wasnt ur fault (i was only attacking the KBD) it should give u back half the money u payed for it atleast i hate dieing when u didnt do anything(i was walking down the road and i got mugged by a highway man (if u where really nooby))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just a thought

[Carlos74]

Too much programming involved in wether you do get it back or don't. Theres already too much inflation, lets not bring in any more. This would make the items you drop be still in the game, but you get some more money back.

[archimage_a]

and ur point comes in where, if u droped something u get back half what the genral store would have bought it for. and its not that hard kill ,something else lose ur stuff, easy

[Kielmccaul75]

Simple answer, no.

[archimage_a]

yes it could work

[BlueThug]

To complicating? No. More interesting? Yes. :lol:

At least half the money you payed for it ?? I can see a lot of people selling each other crap (like balls of wool) for massive prices, getting most of the money back (obviously you'd only do it for trusted friends), then getting killed carrying it and making a lot of money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say for example though, it was shop value only. You'd still have heaps of people losing party hats and getting upset because they didn't get back the millions they paid for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't see it working. Games like Ultima Online have introduced this and have problems with it, as people NEVER lose their expensive items.

[limpxbizkid]

as far as i know running, teleporting and food pretty much solve those problems.

 

 

 

i dont think ive ever seen a newb die from being attacked by one of these npcs (if anything they always attack first :P ) and although ive seen some newbs lose a bit from being pwned by a low level mages in the same area, i dont think insurance solves that problem (wizard robes do).

[archimage_a]

i did actualy say half the genral store buying price, and it should be at least tested cos i hate running about for stuff then losing stuff cos i cant get out of some pit or i left a helm on or something

[Crim_nimora]

downside people will deposit as much as they can, equip a arrowless bow and walk into the black nights castle. and make some easy cash

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so no

[archimage_a]

or they could sell it in the GENRAL STORE AND GET 2* AS MUCH U DONT SEEM TO GET WHAT IM SAYING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INSURANCE = HALF GENRAL STORE PRICE WHEN YOU SELL IT TO THEM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BRONZE DAGGER=10GP GENRAL STORE ASKING PRICE

 

 

 

INSURENCE ON THAT= 5GP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEE HOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crim_nimora]

then it isnt insurance

[meommy89]

this sounds like it will make the game to complicated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im confused just reading about it

[shadowshow]

then it isnt insurance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

exactly, insurance means that you get all the money back that you wrongly lost, that being said, insurence would never happen cuz the comp cant tell if it was wrongly lost or not

[Silver_Dragon]

Worst idea ever.

[archimage_a]

rite no one listens(with any real power) on these forums and it better than what we got now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[katsuro0]

to get insurance, you first have to buy it. You can only get the cash back if what happened was in no way your fault. So dying because you went near a vicious beast or because you didn't bring food is your fault. You wouldn't get money back just because an npc kills you...maybe if you were keylogged :? , but that is still your fault half the time.

[archimage_a]

ummm firstly: would u have to buy insurance? yes

 

 

 

how could they know it was ur fault? same as in the wilderness u get a star above ur head for 10min if u die u dont have any money back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am glad that this took off

[Butigroove]

i am glad that this took off

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If by took off, you mean people flaming you for your stupid idea, then yes, this 'took off'.

 

 

 

There are several reasons why this won't work.

 

 

 

1. Too hard to program.

 

 

 

2. Computer can't tell whether you died 'and it wasnt your fault'

 

 

 

IMHO every time you die it is your fault.

 

 

 

If it is because you are in wildy, its because your stats suck, you didnt teleport, or didnt bring enough food. If it is against a monster, it is your fault because you didnt bring enough food, arent high enough level to fight that NPC, or your equipment is inferior to the equipment needed to defeat that monster.

 

 

 

[rant]3. The one who suggested "Insurance" has HORRIBLE grammar and spelling[/endrant]

[Crim_nimora]

leave the kid alone ya jerk.ust because he had one bad idea doesn't mean that hes a stupid noob

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And where are your suggestions? This board is meant for ideas to better runescape and if you cant think of anything or submit constructive critisism then you are meerly prohibiting people from discussing ideas that could change the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you shouldn't really be here go to rants.

[vmser]

the game is about risks... Whats the point in fighting kbd if you have nothing to loose?

[archimage_a]

i dont really care all that much but simply

 

 

 

u would have stuff to lose

 

 

 

its better than nothing

 

 

 

if u attack something u get a star above your head

 

 

 

a star mean your insurance is invaild (not good)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am glad this took off=i am board of ideas to:

 

 

 

rasie stats

 

 

 

make huge castles

 

 

 

have things that dont do anything

 

 

 

seeds that wont work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but since no one cares...

[fire_skulll300]

worst idea ever how could it not be your fault if you die :twisted:

[Raiden2k2]

Worst idea ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What he said.

[archimage_a]

the worst idea ever was the night that u and a computer got together and type the moronish posts as:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

insurance is good, and its not your fault if u are killed trying to get out of the brimhaven dungons or if u got hacked and put in the middle of dragon island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so it is pointless to say u had the worst idea ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mine was second :D :)
