Indizle Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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.

malo2 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 why not just getting cast straight from your bank, and onto your trade screen? Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indizle Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proparunescaper Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I think this is a great idea! it'll stop scamming for a while but scammers will probably find a new way to scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliisgood Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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?).

Indizle Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSoultar Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 This is a very nice idea. And the one about adding a wallet area on your equipment screen is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkieman Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 why not just getting cast straight from your bank, and onto your trade screen? 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.

Hunter360x Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 for the cheques how about it just being an extra feature in the trade screen?

archimage_a Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 only money checks, otherwise it does lead to some annoyance. And its a check, its not likely to bounce in 0.000000000000000000000000001 seconds http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
