Ronan Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Any comments on if this is the item that's going to be redeemable? Personally it seems like a nice, little addition for those attending RuneFest if it is the item - assuming it has no bonuses then it all seems good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_YB_ Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 You can also wield it like a banner dont got a picture from that but mark had it equipped :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan_Chat_Op Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 yup, so Jagex is following other MMORPG's footsteps and having the redeem code for that item for the people who spend a thousand dollars flying over to UK. Classy Jagex. I skill. If you skill you should join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orc Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Kept trying to grab a good screeny with the Orb and Mod Ian kept moving it everytime i got close, he did mention that a KB will be up very soon explaining the 'banners'. So there may be more then one, or a simple mistake. I did grab this screeny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptical Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well, at least they haven't started giving out unique, high-powered weapons and armor to those who have money to burn. Kind of wish that I did, though,lol. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.

Ronan Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 But what's the major issue that people feel strongly about here? Surely this is just a momento for those who attended the event. The way I see it is that the money paid is for the event, this is simply a gift from Jagex for those who attended rather than those who 'bought' it. Saying that though - I'm not so narrow-minded that I can't see that others will feel differently, considering it is the first of it's kind in the game. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Considering the expenses of those who are going, i think it's only fair that they get such a item to show off. I am not going myself, wish i could get that banner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going myself, wish i could get that banner though. I completely agree with you two. I have no problem with Jagex giving an in game item to those who went, i think it's completely fair and a nice treat. I probably won't be going either though unless around August there are still some tickets left and i find myself with some spare time and money and think what the heck I'll splash out. I've been applying for a few new jobs around the country aswell for my university placement year so i'll have to see how they go first before i spend the money and make a commitment to go. thanks for that screen :L i was forgot to take a picture of that the more details button linked to : http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/holiday_items_guideYou're welcome, it's not a very interesting screen but I thought I masewell post it and also that what Mod Ian said was funny, he sounded like a spoilt child in the background hehe :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have no problem with Jagex giving an in game item to those who went, i think it's completely fair I disagree. How is it fair that by accident of simply being born across the ocean from the eventual Jagex HQ that I have absolutely no opportunity to attend this event? Yes I can purchase the ticket and redeem the item if I seriously wanted to, but why would I put that money into an event and get 5% opportunity 'payback' than I would if I actually lived in England and could attend? I don't know. Call me bitter..but this doesn't seem fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Call me bitter..but this doesn't seem fair.I can definitely see your point, but is there really a need for everyone to always have the same chance as others to get an item? If this is meant as a memento for those that attended, why should those who didn't feel the need to have it? Surely it would mean nothing, or very little, to those who didn't attend the event? I would mention that I'm far too hard up at the moment to have the cash to purchase a ticket, so it's not that I'm biased! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason that this is "unfair" They paid because they can go. Yes I get that. Why should I pay when I can't go though just to obtain an item? The ends do not justify the means. Yes it's a little selfish, but come on. Don't even try to tell me they aren't going to be getting dozens of other exclusive freebies. Why couldn't they leave it at that? If this is meant as a memento for those that attended, why should those who didn't feel the need to have it? Surely it would mean nothing, or very little, to those who didn't attend the event? True, and I guess that's where my little bit of selfishness comes in. But there's something a little unsettling in that, while I have the financial means to afford a ticket, I do not have the means to fly over there and pay for a two night hotel stay and fly back, so I'm essentially missing out on my chance to obtain this item. This little piece of history. And I'm big on collecting history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason that this is "unfair" Its not "unfair" if Jagex pay for the plane ticket for anyone outside the UK.The fact that anyone outside the uk have to pay atleast double of what anyone in the UK has to is why people are saying its unfair.

There is no reason that this is "unfair" I was under the understanding that the people that payed for rune fest spent their money on....runefest. The item seems to be not fair to not only people who live somewhere that it wouldn't make sense to go, but also people that just don't have the extra money to go.

Dire_Wolf Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 People! i got a solution to the problems! :thumbsup: Players who attended event, with code gets:the banner as said Player who want the banner but didn't attend (maybe did a small event in-game?):gets a copy of the banner, exactly same but without "Rune Fest 2010". That way we can separate those who went and didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your friend goes to a concert and gets a load of goodies from the band/venue owners as well as a never before heard music track which cant be recorded/ripped or taken off the cd in any possible way without giving the cd away to someone. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Bands go on tours and they usually eventually pop up in your location. This has no guarantee of EVER coming anywhere close to the states, not even Canada. If they said, "Yes we'll probably look at doing these in different countries", I wouldn't be so frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
