The Runescape Pause Button

Featured Replies

Well im sick and tired of going to the washroom or something and comming back seeing that my account has been logged out and im sure some of you are too. well ive been thinking.. what if there was a pause button ! that would make it alot easyer to leave and not come back in a hurry wondering if your account had been logged out.

 

 

 

so.. what do you think ?

... How do you pause an online game?

Every path you have trod, through wilderness and through war, has led to this road...

If you pause then everyone else playing will be paused, won't happen.

This is the worst suggestion i've ever heard! :lol:

why not make it not a pause button, but an option that extends the amount of time before runescape logs out when your inactive.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

A standby mode would sort of be nice. For all intents and purposes you're logged out, but you just don't have to reenter your name and pass. Not really needed but it would be a little convienent.

I think he means just pause it for you...like basically it freezes the screen, and you can't be attacked, get randoms, be logged out..etc.. or do any actions. Can't be pasued in wild :o

If entering your username and password is so difficult, you can just give it to me and I will enter it for you.

 

 

 

 

 

That was a joke, not a scam

 

 

 

Do not send me your password.

We know what he meant. But this is a MMORPG, and if one player paused the game, then the game would pause for everyone. If you think about it, youd realize that pausing for just one person isnt possible.

Pause button...what a moron. :lol:

 

Don't be a mean noob to everyone. You don't know everything in the universe, so stop acting like your the king or something. At least he tried, its not like your contributing to the community.

Brilliant :lol: .

Retired

2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes

 

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

I totally agree with this one. Make it so that you can't get any randoms or anything. If someone trades with you, instead of the whole, "Person is busy..." or something, you get "Other user is currently paused." Anyone who tries to PM you gets the same thing. Of couse, there deffinetly has to be limitations, like no pausing in wild, no pausing within 10 seconds of combat, and such.

 

 

 

I support! :D

Imagine in the wilderness, 1hp left then you decide to pause the game till the other guy gets annoyed enough to log out.

:lol: yeh poor suggestion

Wow guys, way to be mature and take his suggestion seriously...Come on, Tip.it is above this kind of non-sense. Anyway, I've thought about something similiar to your suggestion before, maybe an additional log out button that doesn't do things like kick you out of your house, make you re-enter your bank pin, and the like. However to prevent accidental use of it, after 5-10 minutes you should revert back to being regularly logged out. I think that'd be quite useful.

Maybe a setting option that you could choose how long u want your account to be loged in for. Somewhere on the runing option page

 

 

 

example

 

Normal 5mins 7mins

Just an average player with a horrible name...

Imagine in the wilderness, 1hp left then you decide to pause the game till the other guy gets annoyed enough to log out.

 

 

 

Imagine reading through the the whole post and realizing that 5 people have said that it wouldn't be able to be paused in the wilderness?

 

 

 

 

 

I think it would be extrememly convienient, But it would have some downfalls for the economy. Alot of people lose items due to not paying attention or leaving the computer. It wouldn't have much affect on the economy but it would make runescape much less risky. Say you're on tip.it and reading posts, All you have to do is pause ol' runescape and you're completely safe. I don't know, I'm undecided.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
