They're going to fix that soon apparently.

Ughhh.. these micro-transactions make me sick.

Then don't use them :thumbup: :thumbup:

What's under he animations tab?

Emotes?

Are emotes for sale now? Figures...

Love the two different currencies, what a [bleep]ing scam...

I don't really mind it, but it seems like it is the end of the world for some people.

 

Anonymous =d!

Looks a little like the Guy Fawkes mask worn by the character V in the movie V for Vendetta.

Kind of saw this coming, at least for now runecoins only buy cosmetic items, find it odd how they appear over normal clothing/armour though, good thing they banned it PVP. I could imagine now full torva being hidden under the new Solomon shop items :/

I cant even access Solomon's shop to see the pricing. Firefox crashes and Chrome wont load it, talk about buggy.

That can be done, yes. However, this is not possible in a PvP environment.

ok

 

Hans tells me I have another 570 days to ten year cape. Aw...

ok

Nowhere near as expensive as the JCoins they use in WOL.

The 10 year cape is unbelievably hideous lol.

Are they one-time purchases for these overlays, or are they like maplestory where they expire? If it's the former, I'd vaguely consider it. If it's the latter, then lol RuneStory.

 

 

It's a little odd that you cant pk or even enter the wilderness with those customisations. Perhaps if the squeel didn't exist I might be ok with this update. Microtransactions for purely cosmetic (no stats or xp bonuses) items.

Currently they all say duration unlimited.

 

The fact they say duration at all implies there's gonna be expiring ones coming out.

 

There's an ad banner in the store that'll give you 200 free runecoins.

 

"The Thrifty" title is totally free, grab it while you can. :P

That's because you can hide armour/weapons under the new clothing apparently.

That's because RS used to be different from all the other idiotic (generally asian) MMO's. Now it's turning into one of those games.

Usually MMO's have a) a monthly fee or b) microtransactions. Of course Jagex seems to be part of the "Why not both?" school of thought now.

Why doesn't armour just trump "customisations" then. e.g If you have the Guy Fawkes mask and put on a helmet it disappears until you take it off.

Well I am glad it's purely cosmetic items, I honestly can say I do not give a crap about them. I like to pay for just my membership and that's it. And it sickens me to see some of the crap they'd actually charge money for.

 

For example putting a few tiny colored bubbles on top of a vial when making potions with herblore, really? Adding a few tiny colored bubbles and they charge for that?? What nerve.

Glitch maybe?

 

I rather like the staff. And it's not an item more than it is a skin for all staves, so that's pretty nice.

I started playing in 2002 but I can't buy a cape for another year and a half. GG me.

 

Oh well, it would've just rotted in my bank anyway.

I've merged together the two topics discussing today's update. Sorry for the confusion! :)

All these items are cosmetic. Calm the hell down, everyone.

Apparently, boobs got bigger with this update. Confirm/deny?

Thanks :). Was wondering when that would happen.

 

My thoughts on this update:

 

Although Solomon is just another way to get money for Jagex, I can't be bothered. This is because there is no ingame bonus caused by any of the items. This is so much better than SOF.

The 10 year Veteran cape is horrible. Low stats, lame emote, and the design is just plain horrible. I know several infants who can make better drawings than THAT.
