game_guy02 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 So, I'm fairly sure this will work in this forum.... And I'm F2P... Now that that is out of the way... Anyway, here's the idea. From Lobster fishing, I find the biggest obstacle to levelling is dropping/selling your lobbies. It takes time, and is annoying. So, why not do something similar to essence running? If there was an official fishing world, runners could come, buy lobbies at a discounted price, and either run them to their bank or sell them to the general store. This would benefit the fisherman, getting some cash and emptying an inventory in a fraction of the time. It would also help out the runner, as the huge discount would allow for easy cash flow. I mean think about it, if you didnt have to spend all that time running to and from the store, or dropping, you could fish say two or three inventories in the time it usually takes to do one. And since you're focused on levelling, who cares about the loss of profit? Ideas, comments, suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharockslayer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Down point, you wont get a full inventory of lobs in the time the runners return. And I bet it wont be very succesfull as most people tend to powerfish at barbarian village and sometimes give food to the people who need it. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

game_guy02 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Fair enough, but if there was enough fishers... like there must be fifty people fishing lobs at most given points in time. One of them would have an inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Nice idea. I think it will work, but first we need more lobster fishers. Maybe if we gather all that is spread out in diffrent world into one of the worlds? So we must decide a world. Any one got any suggestions?

game_guy02 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Why not world 126? If everyone just HYT'd, im sure we could muster a large enough gathering. Pure profit for everyone, albeit a bit compromised, and mad exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialcharacter Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I really like the sound of this, Im definitely up for this but wont runners be waiting a long time for their lobbies. Or you could do 10 lobs for 500gp so its quicker for runners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmidget448 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Great idea, I wouldn't mind lobby fishing for a little profit. I usually drop it when I'm fishing and that takes forever. If you need a fisher, I'll be one :P :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaym112 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Most players who don't bank their own lobbies, usually drop them, so would it be better if they gave the lobbies away for free? You would get more runners, plus it saves alot of time for the fishers instead of dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkan420 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I deffinately wouldn't mind getting involved with this. I'd like to get 90 fishing to go with 90 cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superway25 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 If you can get enough people to agree on a price and world it could be good. Also it would help to get a member to advertise it on the official forums for more people. price could be like 50ea or something and choose a us based world to lower latency for most people I would love it because, it could lower raw lob prices a bit for me and I need alot of raw lobs.

bigdrizzle13 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 this is a good idea. just needs a little more organization. The only difference i think is that where as in running airs, the runner gets paid. . . and here the runner is paying. Might be a small problem. . . Message me if i can help in anyway. Im all for this. Perhaps form a guide in the player made guides section.. . . . this would not be a bad idea at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a small problem. The air runners get paid because they bring more ess to the crafter. In this setup the runners get all the lobbies. All the pay they need.

imaerehw14 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 the only way it would work is if it was on f2p and benefiting f2p members only. the fact that there are places where a bank is convienent to the fishing spot kind of makes the running and the selling of cheap lobsters obsolete. catherby is a perfect example in which its just beneficial to bank your own lobsters. BUT, if this were to happen on a f2p world, it would be highly beneficial to both the fisher and the runner. although, prices in lobsters might drop even further, which i guess isnt a bad thing.

myeman60 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 well...if they did have a fishing world, wouldn't it also be sensible to have a pure combat world as well...kinda like the wilderness except 1/2 of it is wilderness and 1/2 of it is gdz/dark wizards/rangers. that would probably go a little better than ur fishing world...no offense to any1 who likes to fish...because i kinda like to fish as well :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
