schmuall Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 ~~I personally believe this to be different from the other topic, I have read all the posts so far (up to page 8) and haven't seen anyone discussing this so this is why I believe it deserves it's own post. Though obviously if the mods disagree, feel free to move/merge/delete~~ As many of you know, recently all but one of the RSC worlds were open to new members for the first time. Many old members that had lost their access to classic logged in to experience the nostalgia of opperating their old accounts again. Many newer member (myself included) have had a look to see what all the fuss was about. Now the rules of classic allow free trade with anyone, old style pking and many other old option that have been taken away from RS2, making it attractive for people who believe Jagex has gone too far with some of it's recent changes. Some people have said that by opening up classic worlds again you're going to allow in RWT and that there's going to be a new wave of botters which will drag down the community and rune the economics of RSC. While I noticed while browsing RSOF earlier today, was a new form of trust trade that's already starting. People are offering RS2 money In return for RSC items. It makes sense, you're rich on your RS2 main, but a noob on RSC, why not just buy someones junk in return for some useful items on RSC? I would like your opinions; is this against the rules? does it count as trading between accounts, even if they are actually the same account? what will/can Jagex do to combat this? Are there any other ways that you can see for future interaction between the RSC RS2 economies? (here's the url for the first forum post I could find discussing this: http://[Use Quick Find Code]/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?14,15,619,59885463) Sorry, don't know how to use quick codes give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omali Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's considered real world trading by Jagex to trade between the two games as trust trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't see how this deserves it's own topic as it's discussing a tiny aspect, but I'd say it's probably not breaking a rule but it's still a trust trade as omali said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry you don't think this should be a thread, but really I made it to discuss any forseeable interactions between the 2 economies or general games, certainly not limited to this one particular aspect, it's just the first that I could think of. I was really looking forward to seeing others that the TIF community could think of and the possible consequences of this give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gabe Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 RSC is going to have cheats. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 My best guess is that this is just a stress test of the RSC servers to see if they can handle the kind of traffic they might encounter when they re-launch the RSC server fully. It is a good way to see if after all these years they need replacing. They are going to be changing RSC up a bit when it is fully re-introduced, so any RWT at the current time will be pointless in a few months. I'm not overly sure how many of these regular servers are staying open, but they aren't keeping this open to everybody forever. And i'd count it as RWT. Want to be my friend?

elucin8er Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 This has been discussed. The window of opportunity to rejoin classic is short, and you are required to be a member. This decreases the chances of RWTers to join, and even if they make it in the window of opportunity they can be found out and taken care of individually.

Guthorm Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would not be worried about it, this is only a beta test. When RSC is fully released the players(the server holder really) will have the option to turn on cheat codes, and the players can have anything they wish, so all this supposely RWT is only temporary because there will be no point anymore when RSC come fully online.

bedman Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 For me it's no different than trading a underpriced item together with an overpriced item. The only extra dimension is the trust part, which -I guess- forms a problem for Jagex. A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the topic, I believe the post you're talking about was written be 3 hit u who said that he was expecting rwt and account selling to become more popular. I think there was maybe 1 reply to this? Anyway, this thread wasn't meant to be about RWT, more about the interactions between the economies of the 2 games, but I must have worded it really badly because hardly anyone picked up on that... give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuall Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 RSC is going to have cheats. Is that still a ceratainty? I don't see how cheat servers are needed I was under the impression that only the rentable/private servers would have cheats. Not the official ones we're allowed to play on now. give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meili Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Actually, even private servers when they are released will have RWT. Current RS also has RWT. The thing is, the amount of RWT going on will be quite small and can be safely ignored. The only reason Jagex bothered themselves about RWT before was because it was so rampant it interfered with regular gameplay and the amount of fake credit cards was causing Jagex/their partners losses too large to ignore.
