yeah i know a guy who has 2 accounts one level 3 and his both filled with 2.1 bil

 

so he drop traded 2.1bil....report him and make him lose it all :twisted:

How about making the money spilt into two piles, thus saving alot of server space.

Ever thought that it's not possible to raise? There a loads of limitations that this game is restricted to by it's coding or whatever....

I think, that you have to be pretty rich to see a problem here!

 

 

 

You have two options:

 

 

 

1) Give 1 bil to me. Then you have room to win 1 bil again.

 

 

 

2) Buy stuff with your 2.1 bil

 

 

 

For option 2), please allow me to suggest buying marble blocks and using those to raise your construction. Maybe you can even do a little experiment and find out if there's also a cap of 2.1 billion marble blocks!

 

 

 

Good luck!

well i didnt knew it was a money cap but is it so bad? when u reach it why dont just buy a p hat set? or ue it on skills?

 

 

 

and if i had all that cash i would waste it on training mage really fast same with prayer i would buy lots of ourg bones run from yannile bank to my house but first get a gilded altar pr ,arble or whatvere

wanna know why it can't be raised? the way the java is encoded, you can't have a number over 2.1bil, trade somebody and offer x then type in 2100000000 not sure how many noughts but the noughts will eventually stop, that's not because they put a cap on it they didn't know about inflation when they made the game so if they'd wanted they could have put infinite money but they cant because of the java!

They could easily double the cap to 4.2 bil. gp in Runescape are always positive, while Jagex used a signed 32-bit integer. They could use an unsigned 32-bit integer instead, which can represent numbers from 0 to 4294967295. Java has those. I also wouldn't be surprised if Java had 64-bit integers. However, do realize, that increasing this cap, would require jagex to double memory for EVERYTHING. For every item spot in bank and inventory. They'd almost need twice as much memory for all players! I don't think Jagex is waiting for that.

Wow who bumped this. Omg for the last time, it would take them a lot of effort to increase the cap as the would have to go over and instead of using an int(a type of storage for numbers in java, the max is ~ 2.1billion) type for their numbers, they would have to change it to something like a long(another type of "storage system" in java). This would cause too much stress/work for a very little purpose. =;

 

Long integer signed: -2147483648 to 2147483647

 

 

 

Intiger signed: -2147483648 to 2147483647

 

 

 

They are both 4 bytes, so no.

 

 

 

 

 

The value of int and long integers vary on where they are compiled. since rs is ment to be a game for people with poor computers who cant play wow etc, due to junk gfx cards they probably compile it on a 32bit system, thus we are stuck with 2.1B ( integer is stuck at 2,14 because of the 32bit compiler.

so he drop traded 2.1bil....report him and make him lose it all :twisted:

no...heres how u do it....

 

(1)bribe him

 

(2)give 10 of that mil to wild goat 14

 

(3)reporthim and make him lose it all..........or repeat steps 1 and 2 a lot

There are several ways to increase the GP Gap. One of them would be to just introduce a new currency, say Platinum Pieces. These would be worth 1000 GP each, and would be buyable only from designated NPC's, who could in turn also re-exchange them for GP. This would not affect inflation, as the only place you could buy this other currency is from an NPC. This way Jagex would not have to make any massive changes to the coding of Runescape, and would theoretically raise the GP cap to just over 2.1 Trillion.

 

 

 

Another viable solution, to at least prevent players from losing their entire money stack from the cap due to going over would be to just not allow a player to accumulate anymore GP once they hit the cap. A simple message resembling that of one when your inventory is full, or your bank, would alleviate the possibility of a player losing such a massive amount of wealth, which, if they're playing legitly, takes thousands of hours to achieve.

 

 

 

This cap was not created to prevent rises in Rares, and it in no way will halt their rises. The real problem that could occur with the increasing prices is that Party Hat merchants begin using another currency, and GP slowly becomes phased out. In Diablo 2, the entire game's currency was destroyed, and players began using a "Unique" (better described as Rare) item, called a Stone of Jordan, as currency. This had a serious effect on game play, completely overturning the economy.

r2-pleasent, what actually happens if you have 2.1bil gp? Does Runescape give a certain message in the style of "you can't receive more gp"?

 

 

 

Is there a certain junk item that you can collect very fast (faster than money) that could be gotten to 2.1bil pieces quickly, that would allow me to test this myself?

even if you bought 1gp items you'd need 2.1 billion of them = 2.1 billion gp to buy them... waste of money imo

r2-pleasent, what actually happens if you have 2.1bil gp?

 

 

 

It used to turn into the negative if you'd gain more then 2.1bil. I say used to because from what I heard of some people, it seems that you now get a warning message or something or at least it doesn't go into the negative anymore.

 

 

 

Nevertheless, it really isn't hard to solve it. Either start using 64 bit variables for money only(!) or implement platinum pieces like r2pleasent suggests, which is even less work.

Right now, if you go over the GP cap, your money goes negative, and therefore basically just disappears. That's the real problem in this whole thing, is that a player loses his entire GP stack if he/she goes over the cap. As far as collecting 2.1 Billion of anything goes, I don't think there's anything easier than GP.

That is sort of intresting.

 

 

 

You know, if it becomes negative after adding something to 2.1bil, then it'll also go positive again after subtracting something from the negative amount. Is it possible to pay with negative amounts? If it is, then it's theoretically possible to actually have "virtually" 4.2 bil gp, by keeping the negative amount as long as it doesn't add up to zero or higher again.

Is it possible to pay with negative amounts?

 

 

 

Never been possible.

Yes, this has been a big problem for me. Just the other day I sold 200 blue phats, and I found I couldn't put any of the money in the bank because of the limit. Boy was I annoyed.

max gp i had was 6m....

You forgot the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] tags :D

 

 

 

anyway, made me chuckle :lol:

Please stop exaggerating :roll:

i dont no wat will happen when the blue gets really high then...

 

 

 

nice job idiot for bringing back an old topic :roll:

nice job idiot for well...being an idiot... :roll:

this has been discussed b4. mods already have said the gp cap wont change. jagex never meant for rares to reach this high so no point in raising the gp cap as there is no other way really to reach over 2100M without selling rares.

 

hence the fall of rares in the future.

invest 100 mil in skills, then after that merch up another 100 mil, repeat step 1 until all buyable 99's are bought

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic :wink: .

 

 

 

Nontheless, sarcastic comments generally need either a smiley or [/sarcams] tags when noticed in order for the reader to better recognize the overall tone of the statement :P .
