Behind the Scenes: March 2013

I'm so happy they're getting rid of the flower game. I'd love to see an in game casino, just so I never have to listen to a pathetic host spamming his fc again. Not sure how purist f2pers are going to feel about the membership trial changes though.

Free extra total levels. :shrug:

Sounds like they just completely prevented F2P players from even attempting Construction.

Guess they won't be getting access to Gilded altars any time soon.

I would love to see gambling change to poker (Texas hold'em, Omaha, Stud). Would make it a game of skill without requiring the stats of Staking. And it would be a money dump with the rake taken from every hand/tourney entry/SnG entry. A rake of ~10% on tourneys and such and a % up to a max rake on "cash games".

 

Also, this would be a legal gambling method Jagex could implement. Would be no different than Zynga poker on Facebook. (Which plans on offering real money this year in the UK)

 

Example:

This past weekend PokerStars had their Sunday Millions. It had a ~9.5M prize pool with ~1.2M to first.... PokerStars made $740K in rake off of this.

 

So even if its a small amount of rake, it adds up to help remove gp from the game in ways that BH, Con, etc. do.

 

Peace,
