Should F2p get MORE bank space?

[Fencal]

At the moment, i think jagex is slowly forcing them to get members, seems like with every event (xmas, easter) Theres new items wich ever force f2p to drop current stuff in there bank, drop the items, or get members.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, should members get more bank space?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good:

 

 

 

No more "we need more bank space" rants for a while

 

 

 

More space for the holiday items

 

 

 

Make people happier (probley annoy some members)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bad:

 

 

 

Less poeple will become members (Need more bad points)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being a member myself i have NO trouble with BS, But to ally ou free players, your not paying to play runescape, and its cost runescape money to update stuff and what not, =p

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not turn this into a flame war, i want a mature debate on this please, balance out bad comments with something positive if you can=p

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

I say just make bank space unlimited in both F2P and members world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, when should it have to be a "challange" to keep stuff in your bank?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, since that would never get implemented (I'd rather see it so that we wouldn't have people complaining about lack of bank space) I'd say no go for the f2p bank space.

[Jake_Corsair]

First, holiday items can be obtained again from Diango, so there's no need to actually store them in the bank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, even if another 2 lines were added there would still be some players that would want more space, because they can't keep every little thing they find.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't remember the last time f2p got more space, but completing the line they have now (as I've read in other posts). Probably wouldn't affect too much either way. Like Nadril, I'd like to see unlimited in both versions, although for f2p, I do understand the reasoning. Bank space has always been a very good seller point for members, if Jagex could be sure that they wouldn't lose potential memberships from increased bank space, they'd probably do it.

[neogeo0823]

well, as i see it the entire problem with unlimited bankspace is that it requires a certain amount of memory per user to store a full bank of stuff. this right here tells you that unlimited bankspace is an impossibility with all the accounts that runescape has.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the reason that members have ore bankspace in the firstplace is exactly the cliche'd line that nobody wants to hear. they payed a monthly fee which goes partially toward the cost of keeping up the servers that stores the information applying to their bank and whats in it. in essence, members have paid for bigger servers to have more bank space.

[Justin8913]

Being free play myself, I think we do need more bankspace. It's gotten so bad now, that I can barely fit the essentials (armor,arrows,runes,cash etc.). So it's either I have to drop my important items or I just live with no space in my bank. I don't see any reason why Jagex shouldn't give us, the free players, more bank space. But like many others, I don't think it will happen any time soon, as we don't pay. We can all have dreams though.... right? :|

What's so intellectually debatable about this? Hasn't this topic been beaten to the ground already anyways? I'm sure there's an already existing 20+ page long thread just because everyone has an opinion about it. That doesn't make the issue interesting at all.

 

 

 

Obviously jagex is out there to convert f2p to members. They're not 'forcing' anyone. They're just giving people huge incentives to become members. By being f2p, they have no room for complaint because they're acknowledging they're not paying for the full game - only a trial of the full game. They shouldn't expect anything more. End of thread.

[Burzuk]

I agree not much to debate here. I am a f2p'er i don't pay i don't have more bank space. But completing the row would be nice. 16 spaces for random clothing such as Zombie Full, Mime Full, Lederhosen and Camo. If that's not pressure idk what is. I could include more pressure for ya... :twisted:

[Ginger_Warrior]

I personally don't believe that they are trying to force f2p into members, however I do believe they have such a limited space (at least, somewhat lower than members) to prevent people who have been members to carry on playing on f2p, and to force them back into paying for membership.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can also see a big problem with unlimited banking. You'd have people storing ridiculous items like grain/ashes that you gain in Lummy starting out on the game. Can anyone par me imagine the kind of strain that would put on the memory usage for RS?

[Yan]

I would like to see f2p get at least the rest of the row, maybe add one more as new holiday events come out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't really see how more bank space for f2p would discourage people from membership. The difference is so huge that one more row wouldn't make a sizable change in the values of p2p vs f2p.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd hate to see the flames that would erupt if JaGex actually did give f2p more bank space. F2p'ers would be crispier than Colonel Sander's chicken. Personally, I don't mind the small f2p space.

[toast647]

I say they get at the most two more rows, they should get at least one more row.

[Bobthefishy]

Because I'm f2p, I'd say yes from my standpoint. BUT, from Jagex's standpoint, in no way should they. If someone feels strongly enough about more bank space, they pay for members. I'd like it, but it will most likely never happen.

[Rednik]

You can drop/destroy all your holiday items because you can get back everything from Diango

[ddaanniiellh]

Personally, f2p bank space is not too much of trouble for me, I don't keep any item that I can easily buy for 1 or 2gp from stores, unless I constantly use it (i.e. chisel). But if they add on more unretrievable items such as random event rewards, they should add on a row or 2 more of space.

Yeah, exactly. I don't keep a hammer, a brown apron, a chef hat, or any moulds, it's just a waste of space.

[jemathonical]

I don't think that f2p needs more bank space. I don't have much trouble with my items. But, I do think Jagex should give f2p some type of random event clothes box or something.

As I've found out before, a lot of people have twisted logic and believe that F2P deserve more bank space merely for playing. :-(

[Dexek]

F2P doesn't need more bank space, but P2P does. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Give rewards to those who pay for them. :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As said, holiday items now no longer take up and bank space, just drop 'em and get the from Diango when you need them. :D

[NJE03]

Average F2P'r definately need more bank space, current space becomes full very quick.

 

 

 

Randoms alone take a large chunk of the space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If any member would get angry over F2P getting space then that is just foolish. It does not have any negative effect on them. (Or any effect at all for that matter.)

[Star_Fox]

this has been suggested thousands of times, NO even if the riot was 2 times bigger then SS.

[tmottbg]

I am F2P, and no, I don't think we need any more. If you get rid of the things you don't absolutely need, there is plenty of space.

But it's a topic that just has to be recreated over and over again because it's one of the most intellectually stimulating subjects one can ever debate about!

[bonzeben23]

i'm f2p i think that we should get one of my sugestions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A) we get enough space to store every rune type one full set of armor 3 weapons cash all the arrows (and bolts) mage clothing (hat, plate robe thing and skirt) range (coif, body, legs vamps long and short bow) and 4 rare spaces along with enough for random events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B)Diango gives us our randoms back when we need them i mean come on you get 350+ slots and we get like 30 is that fair? i mean i'll take 4 ads for more bank space that'll give jagex way more positive income from f2p won't it? :-k

I think they should have like a clothing bank, in which you can only store random event clothing. I've mentioned this idea a couple of times, but no one's mentioned it.

[Giordano]

I think 2 rows more will do nicely as a F2P Update. :)

[mchainmail]

All f2p needs is a random events chest. And that's it.
