Many of you lately as i can see have been talking about the Money cap only being 2.1bil and how it has to be raised. Jagex most likly would raise it to be much higher but its not their fault its the Java. The code they are using wont let them pass that amount of gp, it also isnt 2.1nil exact however i forgot the exact number. Also look at the xp cap, it caps off at 200m. That is the reason now here is the solution...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The solution to the money cap is to make a new currency, perhaps jagex can do this. All in game money will be converted to silver coins and when you log in you will get a huge message about how come your coins are silver for those people who dont read update list. Then this is what would happen. Silver GP would be worth the same as present day gp. NOW HERE IS THE WHOLE CATCH you can go back to your bank and convert your Silver GP into Golden GP and you will get 1 GOLD gp for every 100 GP you turn in. It sounds confusing but think about it, also note its a tip not an exact idea. Its just and idea of what can work maybe it just needs a few more kinks.

 

 

 

The solution to xp, simple change the xp amount for each skill lvl and how much xp each thing gives off if you plan on raising level caps.

Wouldn't that mean that even though in reality you have the same amount of Gold, it looks like you have less?

 

 

 

How would it work picking up Coins from monsters? Would the coins be silver, then you would have to turn them into Gold? Buying stuff would become a hassle working in both silver and gold. The idea is creative, but it'd be easier just to put a higher cap on the amount of Gold?

 

 

 

I don't know anything about Java, but it wouldn't be hard to raise the cap?

Raising the max exp is bad, and raising the money cap is pointless. Why do people really need more money? If I had that much I would go around and give random people 1 mil each, seriously, there is no way you would ever use that much. that aside I think your idea is good, except that scamming will shoot up as people who don't understand the situation (as you said it is complicated and would take awhile to get used to) spend way too much on things.

hm not a bad idea, but has anyone really proven this supposed "gp cap"? i really haven't seen any proof of it yet.. and with the price of p hats as they are today, there are many, many people with net values of over 2.1bil.

i find that a bit confusing i think pppl would rather stick with gold pieces...

Noone wants to as it once they pass it their money goes into negative numbers. So they'd lose 2.1bil

what frogmite said is true... and also in time this can happen do to inflation. All the first 85+ slayers have loads.

its not that hard to change ... if jagex wanted to they easily could

 

 

 

by the way the exact number is :

 

2,147,483,647

well i don't see any problem at all with it...

 

 

 

it should be sorta like any item from a shop that is over 30,000 gps would have its price in gold pieces...

 

 

 

I think that most merchants would use gc's (why is it called gold point's -when in the game its called gold coins??) Also the higher monsters could keep dropping coins as gold (greater deamons black deamons blue drags slayer monsters ect) that way it would be more profitable...meh or would it?

 

 

 

still it would be nice for me to finally see 10m in my bank :P

There would be too many scams with silver gp. People would try to buy stuff in silver then when u turn it into gold, you would get less gp :roll:

thats why you have the big message in beginning so if you get scammed its your fault for being a idiot :D flame that :P

You dont lose 2.1b you lose everything over it.

 

So if you have 2.1b banked and you add 400m the 400m disapears.

so make 100k worth 1 platinum piece...problem solved..

or jagex could simply just switch the item stack counter to a long value instead of an int value which would change the stack limit from 2,147,483,648 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 problem solved without messing with anything like silver or that bs

You forgot one more thing: it is not just change from int to long. you will need to change all the counters from int to long (you can't change only the money) that will make the "saved game" alot bigger, loading slower (load more information), use more memory and use more bandwith (send/recive more information while playing). all of those things can be "just switch the item stack counter". there are alot of thinking and planning before just changing the stack counter.

you dont really need to change the stack size for every item in the savefile there could be a built-in switch between the two such as using the sign bit to decide weather to read it as a long or read it as a int requiring very little extra space and still not affecting the users gameplay

Nobody NEEDS over 2.1 bil, except maybe bragging rights. The rares market inflating isn't something Jagex is going to remake the currency system over.

 

 

 

And GP stands for Gold Piece. You can't have silver gold pieces. :?

2,147,483,647

 

 

 

Can they just not hold more, or what?

Gold coins? silver coins? What next, bronze coins? Gold called Galleon, Silver is called Sickle, and the broze is called Knuts. How about that?

EDIT: Also, this would just take away 2 zeros from every ammount of cash. Ppl would be like buying full guthans, 130k SP, it would get way confusing, and not to mention, lets say you go over the cap, but your in converted cash, you get hacked, and the hacker doesnt play anymore, so instead they just convert your cash to GP, and now your down a tone of cash, yeah, problem solved..pfft, 100B could have been erased from the market. Yeah, that might screw things up, its not really solving a problem.

 

 

 

and also everything is sold on the K scale, so it would make more sence for gold peice to be 1k sp(Silver Peice).

 

 

 

but again, it would be confusing, so not really a solution. Heres a solution, once you hit that, do something more fun then merchanting. Serously, i dont find merchanting fun, yelling at ppl for 3 hours while making a profit, may sound laid back and easy, but not exactly fun.

Thread cleaned and moved by me.

 

 

 

Please do me and the rest of the Tip.It mods a favor-- don't spam with things like 'wrong forum', 'lock this', etc. Please pm me or another mod if you have concerns about a thread.

 

 

 

 

Anyway... please continue...

just convert your excess money to other items... see how many things you can get 2.1 billion of. (cabbages? :))

 

or just stock up on rares to supplement your money.

 

 

 

Look.. there is no single item that costs 2.1 billion gp. why bother? just buy what you need, and if you still need more money... you should be able to easily make more, if you got 2.1 bil in the first place.

Who has 2,147,483,647 In Actual Gold Piece? :?

Not just one person its growing in numbers the amount of people. First 85 slayers phat holders since rsc. Most extreme merchenters. When i say solution i mean something that works in game, not just use it on something, what if they dont want to? Im not taking sides on if its right or wrong cause i dont wanna get off topic so well, new currency is the solution :o

ummm. something illegal here. possession of more than 1 accs. tt can be the solution too. if jagex legalize it. lolz. if ppl really wan to convert their rares to cash so much and enjoy lookin at 2.1 Bill all day. let them sell all their stuff they want and spread the gp into 2.1 Bill ea lvl 3 acc =P im sure other lvl 3s will hav some fun when they see fellow n00bs with so much money =)
