Kaida23 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I really hope that if they do reintroduce the tradable rares that they do it the same way they reintroduced the random event outfits to the main game. Make it so they can be purchased for a few gp from the costume shop in Varrock.Didn't Party Pete offer Party Hats for sale? :unsure: If he did, I didn't hear about it. AFAIK he only sells Afros in different colours. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

Troacctid Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Smoking Kills was 2008 though, that's way off the mark. Really hope they don't re-add rares, I don't see why that should ever have crossed their minds. Well, they were always an integral part of the game, as they are now, and 2007 is no exception to this. If the point is to recreate 2007, why wouldn't rares be there?1. They were never an integral part of the game2.

999134 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It hardly seems worth bringing it back at 15$/month, despite the fact I would love to be able to play, 15$/month is far too much and I am sure many others however fanatical about having old runescape back would agree with me.I have a feeling if they get over 200,000 they will do 5$/month, I think they know as well as the majority of people that 15$/month is too much, and is more of a scare tactic to try and get people to bring it above 250,000.

If the point is to recreate 2007, why wouldn't rares be there?There's no good way to bring them back.1.Have them randomly drop the first day or so?People would complain about, oh lets see.Bad connection/not being able to grab them.Not everyone might be around, no chance to get them.2.Give them out to the first players making an account?Same deal there, connection and availability to server. There's a lot of flaws in brining it back. People who get them would automatically be the wealthiest players in the game with no effort.And since everyone starts from scratch, what do you think the prices for them would be?

Piu Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Rares won't work anymore, people actually know that they will one day be worth millions and/or hundreds of dollars. Back then, players were all oblivious to this possibility. No matter what way they introduce items of discontinued supply, they won't have the same impact or implication they had back in RSC/RS2, sadly. Look what is happening with Fish Masks and Christmas Hats? What they CAN do, however, is make them so extremely rare that the demand for them will always outweigh the supply, such ways might include Treausure Trial rewards, similar to 3rd-age, Barbarian Assault gambling, VERY rare boss drops etc. [hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide][hide]Never gonna give you up.[/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide]"We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Sal VJ Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Taking current voting rate into account, I seriously doubt it'll reach 250k votes in 2 weeks time - but I'll still play it, even if it'll cost 15 bucks a month.

By Monday we should be closing in on 250k and within 2 weeks we should have at least 500k.""In my honest opinion. I've been studying it for awhile, and it's literally 1sec/vote.

Yoko Kurama Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Congrats! You were right! Time to rub it in like the nice guy you are! *pats head* People who are arrogant, delusional, abrasive and needlessly combative deserve to be told "I told you so", ruthlessly, when their fantasies inevitably crumble. You will find no sympathy for such people here. --------- As to the discussion on rares. Again, if the whole point is to recreate 2007, then it cannot be denied that rares were part of the experience. Now to adress a few general complaints on the issue: A) Some people might not want them back. Reply: Others will. B) There's no fair way to distribute them. Reply: Sure there is. Boss drops, random drop parties, early bird quests, what have you, there are dozens of ways to do it. C) This will make many people rich by sheer virtue of luck. Reply: Luck has *always* been a part of the game. D) They won't have the same economic impact as they originally did. Reply: That's certainly true that they won't be as impactful, but that's a matter of degree. As long as they are released in a limited supply, they will *eventually* be worth something, though obviously not as much as they are in the original game for various obvious reasons. Now, I, personally, don't want them back, but then I won't be playing this game anyways. I'm speaking primarily from the perspective of players who might, and also from the perspective that if they are going to go through with this, then what I have suggested would be the way to 'recreate' the ordeal (assuming that is the goal).
