I've had an idea for a banking option bouncing around in my head for a while now. I'm looking for opinions on whether this would work or not. Feel free to critique it. I'm looking for faults in my idea that I might not have considered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Central Bank of Runescape (Gielnor)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bank is in a magical "fold" of land like the houses are. It is in no particular geographical location. It does happen to be connected magically to the different "folds" of the housing tracts around the map.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To access this place, there will be a spell.. Teleport to bank. Also, you may use the different house entry portals to come to this central bank location. This bank would have portals back to the purple portals on the map.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teleport to bank spell... I was thinking level 40 or so. Feel free to suggest the runes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have 2 optional ideas here. Either restrictive or not. On either option you can use runes or items to port away from the bank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Restrictive: If you access the bank from a house entry portal, you may only exit back through that same portal. If you teleport in with the spell, the only portal you may use is the one leading to the area your house is in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not Restrictive: You may enter any of the purple portals or teleport in with the spell and you are allowed to exit through any of the various house entry portals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I came up with 2 different ideas there because the non-restrictive idea might make it too easy to jump around the map. For instance, hop in at rimmington and hop out at Brimhaven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think this idea would make construction that much faster. You'd still have to exit from your house and re-enter the portal or use the spell to go to the bank, making the round trip from bank to house take a significant amount of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think the idea would totally ruin or unbalance any particular aspect of the game but, that's why I wanted feedback since this idea might be completely useless due to some issue I didn't factor in.

I'd think they'd have to make it restrictive, otherwise it'd be too easy to go from house portal to house portal.
