I've noticed that often when im about to leave the bank I see a good deal, but my money is usually in my account, and by the time i withdraw it someone else usually gets to trade. Or at other times I just wish I had my cash, but carrying money isnt safe as you loose it when you die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, my idea is to create a check sort of thing. Basically how it works is you have a checkbook and when you enter a trade, you type the amount you want on the check, enter your PIN (so that incase your account is hacked you still cant use money from inside the bank), then offer it. The amount will be clearly posted next to the item much like the amount of GP is posted.

 

 

 

Heck if we make the system act so that you can't write another check while you have one offered, you could even prevent the scams in which theplayer quickly removes most of the money (i.e. 100k to 10k or the like). Because you have to re-click your pin each time, the scammer wouldnt be able to pull a fast one.

 

 

 

Now to prevent check bouncing, the game automatically stops you from entering amounts you don't have in your bank, and as soon as the check is traded, the gp is removed from your account, so that you cant offer the same amount to someone else, which would result in either gp duplication or check bouncing.

why not just getting cast straight from your bank, and onto your trade screen?

well, the check option, if you read the second paragraph, also provides a sort of anti-scam protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus it would be more "real" to have checks used this way instead of just accessing your bank whenever you trade.

Cheques can bounce, you know! :)

got that part covered :wink:

I think this is a great idea! it'll stop scamming for a while but scammers will probably find a new way to scam

I do like this idea, it would provide a good way of transfering money.....one thing though: I think that you should have to have some sort of book (a check-book) that you could equip in some random place (perhaps a new place?).

Yeah a pocket!

good idead but to future like.

Yes, checks are quite the new technology these days! :?

checks werent back in the 1600's (or whenever RS takes place in)

RS has no set time period. Guess you haven't seen the electronic stove, or the sheep prod? :P

hehe, ya......what about the gas mask? :)

oh well guess im wrong no need to flame me i did say it was a good idea

I wasn't really flaming you....just pointing out that it has no set time period :? anyway....let's not get too far off-topic :o

Creating a new spot on the character would probably take too much effort. They would probably just make it a non tradable item that you use when "writing" a check.

This is a very nice idea. And the one about adding a wallet area on your equipment screen is great too.

I like, I like...

i like that idea it would be pretty cool.

That would be a good idea, but it'd lead to open banks where ever you want. A noob friend waits by the mine with you, you trade him your ores and they go straight to his bank. Alternatively, if you need something from your bank(more money, more runes etc) you trade straight from and to him, then he trades back to you and its in your pocket. Its a paradox.

for the cheques how about it just being an extra feature in the trade screen?

only money checks, otherwise it does lead to some annoyance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And its a check, its not likely to bounce in 0.000000000000000000000000001 seconds

Runescape will never have 'checks'

 

 

 

Cheques maybe :P

i agrewith this cheque idea :D

This idea has recieved meol's thumb of aprovement. :)
