Prankster_King Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I got to thinking today, and thought about what would happen to Runescape if the entire wilderness became a Single-Combat area. What would happen to all those clans, and pking groups? How would the Runescape economy be affected? Would Runescape end entirely? Tell me your thoughts on this matter. *Go to the following link for examples of what I mean when I say "economy changes" and "Runescape ending entirely?": http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=4394568#4394568 [bleep], my parrot has better grammar than you.{Author of Tip.It Times article}{Founder of the F2P Bankspace Campaign}{Interviewed for the Gielinor Tribune}{F2P Bankspace was ACHIEVED!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Sabre Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 personally i would love this, since when should pking be about the group with the most people win. I especially love it when i get teamed by 15-20 level 120's and then after they kill me inside of 10 seconds i see 20 "omg owned?" amongst other quotes. Im not sure how the economy would be affected or how the number of pkers would increase/decrease but it would be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bee Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 It would not end RuneScape - most people DON'T belong to clans and many don't pk. I rarely do. It would, however, greatly change the game by chasing away many old players, something I lament greatly. The great days of pking were in RS1; the pkers who came over to the new version adapted to the new system. Over time, the Wilderness became just that: a wilderness, devoid of life. Very rarely is there any danger of being pked away from the Abyss and Mage Arena. This WOULD strike the final blow to the old days of RuneScape. Does this satisfactorily answer your question?

Minoture Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I think a better question would be: What would happen if the entire wilderness BECAME multi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I think a better question would be: What would happen if the entire wilderness BECAME multi? QFT. I wouldn't mind seeing that happen, as it is people just team up on you differently anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Even before multi combat was introduced people used to team kill. I always ranged the strongest of the two then went hand to hand with the survivor assuming they stuck around long enuth. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieeMania12 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 somehow I'm not sure what will exactly happen if this happened but I know that teams and pk clans will get affected by this. We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.Please don't elect this man for president in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave0293 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 lots of people would be angry like when ss went away, and clans and people that pk would be really upset. I have no clue how it would effect the economy thoughb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it would do is make a HUGE number of taggers. And it would be IMPOSSIBLE to kill ANYONE. I would quit runescape until they change it. meh, I'll go copy and paste signature from other sites when I feel like it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prankster_King Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 For those of you that are not sure how the economy would change, here's some food for thought. In F2P pking, the main goal of a pk trip is to get rune armour. A vast amount of people buy sets of rune armour for pking, and often times extra sets. The current price is about 200k for a full set of rune armour. With the change of all multi areas becoming non-multi, the demand for rune armour could go one of two ways. A) The demand could decrease, as pking would be more dull. As it has been mentioned, there would be alot pjing and tagging. People might find this annoying, and just stop pking. The price for rune would decrease, because the demand reduced. B) The demand increases, because pkers want to be as protected as possible in any 1 on 1 battles they face. They want the maximum protection so that they can out last the other opponent. With the increase of demand, prices would also get higher. Another economical change could include the runes most used when mage pking. If the wilderness became single combat entirely, people would want to have the upperhand in a 1 on 1 fight. Some people would view maging as a solution to this. As you should know, mages are very powerful in the wilderness. They can have very high hits depending on their magic level. If the demand for runes increase from all those people that want the upper hand, the prices could increase. But, there's also another alternative to this. Though mages may be powerful in their offence, they have very weak defence with just some flimsy robes. Alot of people might not want to use magic, because an enemy with a rune skimmy would slash them to bits faster than they could cast spells between eating so much. People might turn away maging, and the demand for runes would decrease. With the dropped demand, prices would decrease. Do you catch my drift? As for what I said when I mentioned the part of "Runescape ending entirely?", this is what I was trying to imply. In the game of Runescape, there are four main things that people do for fun. A) Skilling B) Pking C) Trying to become rich D) Questing Skilling can be entertaining for a good while. But to some people, just clicking a whole bunch could get dull. They might turn to pking for the excitement involved in lurking through the wilderness, hunting for that elusive set of full rune or stock-hold of runes from an unweary mage. The terrain and suspence in pking is very enjoyable to people that know what they're doing. I peronally know alot of people that only pk, just because they enjoy it far more than any other part of the game. There are also alot of questers out there, that plow through their quests for the vast enjoyment of the plots and storylines. But what happens when they finish all the quests? Granted, new quests are released every month, but what about that in-between time? Perhaps they choose to go pking. Would pking really be as enjoyable without being able to team up with your clan, or a group of good friends? The same thing goes for those Runescapers that are trying to become one of the few Runescape Billionares. They might need to take a break once and a while from standing around in Varrock, typing an endless stream of trade messages in hopes of getting a few K from merchanting. I'm sure that pking wouldn't entirely be ruined if the wilderness went entirely single. One on one fights are very much enjoyable, as you get a nice chance to chat with new people as you bash in their armour with a rune warhammer, or throw fireballs in their face. But you must also take note of how enjoyable group pking was, and how profitable it could be. When pking with a group of your friends, you have a chance to just hang out with them, and fool around some. And you also have the chance to use teamwork in chasing down that shiny new set of rune, that is running away as fast as he can. Simply put, pking is a fun and profitable experience. What would happen if a vast chunk of that enjoyment went away with the rest of the multi-combat areas?

If you do, you'll easily see that such an action could change Runescape in far more ways than you think. I read it all but the price of rune has been constant for years, even with more issues against it such as better armor coming out all the time. An issue like this would not effect the economy at all, it would simply be too small of a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulli23 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 running? I would quit I think with runescape if this would happen... about half the fun lays in pking TOGETHER! First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

WookieeMania12 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 what about tb kills? For ancients they need a tber or else the target would tele away :/ And they can use single but you won't be able to jump in after a single tb on a guy. who knows, maybe a good opportunity for those old time RSC pkers?

The Observer Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 No. This would not be great at all! The clan I'm in will disband! All the clans in RuneScape would have to disband (Except skilling of course). And RuneScape would become less fun for everybody without clans (like for me). And alot of people would just quit RuneScape. So less money for JAGeX too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prankster_King Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Please note I'm not saying this should happen (which is how several of you sound like your thinking). I opened this topic up to discuss the effects of such an action. Just state what you think will happen, and debate on any issues you don't agree with. You don't need to tell me whether you think it's bad or not. : Nadril, the rune armour prices have been the same because there hasn't been any changes in the market demand for them. With an update such as this, there may be a drastic change in one of two directions. Of course, this is all assumptions. No one can really know what will happen unless it was implemented.

Ginger_Warrior Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 But, I think a point is, wouldn't the two changes roughly balance each other out, so no overall change? I can't see how it would "kill" RS... but I can see an end to the traditional PKing. In my opinion, I'd rather get owned by a PKing clan full of experienced players who deserve the kill, than a pair of ancient/rangers tagging me. All I think it would do is make the Wildy an increadibly dull and boring place TBH. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
