Invincible_N Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 The way it would work: Every week they would sell lottery tickets, either at the bank or a special booth, which would be held in a special part of the interface for the rest of the week(or it could be stored in the currency section of the new runescape bank system, if Jagex decides to finally make the new bank system). Then at the end of the week, if you win the lottery, either: 1:Your won money would appear in your bank (would work very well with the new banking system suggestion) 2:You would go to the bank/booth to pick up your money. Ths way people can become rich in the blink of an eye or lose all their money by buying so many lottery tickets, which is why every person would be limited to only one ticket and they would be cheap, like 1gp or something. And the cash prize would be constant, that way people wont just buy a ticket to raise the amount that you can win. This would be between tons of people in rs, so there would be a very unlikely chance that you win, but it would be worth it, like with the reward being very valuable items and tons of gold!

Nenga Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 if you work hard you get money and what happens if alot of ppl don't play "attention! You are banned for breaking rule 14 not playing the lotery" you oviously haven't thought this out as i see it. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincible_N Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 O yeah... okay so there isnt really a good way to make a lottery, but if theres a feature that gives people desperate for money the chance to all of a sudden become fabulously rich, for only 5gp, chances are they will enter. And there are TONS of noobs desperate for money, me not being one of them. ("\(.:...:.)/") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Make it more like 1k or something, or at least 500gp so some guy who just starts out doesnt get rich and doesnt know the meaning of WORK. Also, sorry to say this to f2pers ( including myself, so im not somesort of selfish member), but this would have to be members. If not, people who make numerous accounts and keep buying lotto tickets and mess up everything. This is the reason why only members can vote in polls too, and in the forums. I think the prize money is 3/10ths of the total amount entered, with other prizes of winning back your cash, and doubling. You still can only buy one ticket. ~It's Super Effective!

You raise up a good point with this being for members only, along with the prices. I cant think of any P2P deperate for money, so this way we could raise the prices for tickets.

Prankster_King Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I don't think a Runescape Lottery would work very well... Let's just take a moment to reflect on the massive amount of players in Runescape. :shock: Out of all those players, only one person would win millions from money gathers from all of those people. Big unfair advantage. Could provide some killer scam tactics for those little filths that infest Runescape. Would this really fit into the medieval theme? :?

blitzkerig0 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah who says someone cannot just create lots of accounts and have each of them buy a ticket. It would increase their chances alot.

manitstinks Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I kinda agree but don't u think the tickets should be more like 1k? If u win though...say 100k :?: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincible_N Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Wow its nice to see a couple of supporters, I havent looked at this post in a while, because Id never thought of it for a while ("\(.:...:.)/") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_blah_man Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I think each ticket should cost 100gp. There should be 100 winners, each getting an equal share of all the money spent on tickets. So if 1,000 people entered, thats 100,000 on tickets and a hundredth of that is 1,000. Now, there's 5,000,000 players and about 1,000,000 of them would enter. Then you get 10,000 for free if you win. So then you don't spend to much and you don't get to much of a major gain. It just makes it a bit more fair. <^SUPPORT +1, BUT ONLY IF YOU CONSIDER WHAT I'VE SAID ABOVE^> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comedyguy Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 This is a spectacular idea! To all you people saying people would just make more accounts to win, what if the game went by IP adress? And limited it to 1 ticket per IP adress? That way no matter how many accounts you make, you still have the same chances as everyone else of winning. And instead of making someone "insanely rich", why don't we tone it down? Maybe make the prize like 10k cash or something small and reasonable...I think that would be better, because it would attract less greedy people\cheaters. :) 122 F2P combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
