Title: job suggestion what i was thinking

Would be good if there is jobs that aint depended on players buying from you example drugs or taxi driving etc. to get money, example smuggling goods that you pickup crate and deliver it to certain location and get money from it and other jobs like that. its hard to make money at the server when little amount of players online and only way making money is trough other players or events.

The point of MULTIplayer is to play with other people, not yourself ;)

It is role play server, not money making. All that you need you can find on the streets, so.. no money needed ^^

Its really not that hard to make money actually. If you really really want to make some money, then come up with a business plan and just go for it. For example, I started a car rental company back then, without any script help whatsoever and I managed to make pretty decent amount of money out of it. I really dont think that you need to interact with scripts rather than players in Multiplayer, I agree 100% percent with Gimli. Just be creative and start your own business. Think of something that there is a demand for in the server and start offering it. It's really simple as that :)

Making money is something hard to do. Only the patient people can get what they want.. But if devs put some jobs that will be player-server > then all economy would collapse. And people would rush on it and there were be no one to do cop job taxi job etc.

Also the important thing is to roleplay, not the money.. And also the thing that u suggest can completely destroy the rps that are done with cop job, taxi job etc.

Just find yourself some interesting way to earn money.. Find something and work on it. Then you ll get both, fun from rp; money from business

All jobs on our server have and will be targeted not for yourself alone, but for a group of players, interacting, socializing and having fun together.
Because if you did all by yourself, it would not be multiplayer.

i kinda agree that a job filling up gas stations or hauling some loads to make money may kind be playing by your self, how ever this actually generates role play, mobsters will want to have a cut in the action, robbers may try to steal your cargo and sell for them selfs. If you are able to buy a donut stand and make money from health giving foods or a hotdog stand that held some value the more that you sold hot dogs/donuts. The money reward from these ideas is small amounts of money say for the hot dog a player will pay 1$ for a hotdog gaining 1 health point. The stand will then be worth 1 dollar/credit more,  maybe the owner has to keep the stand stocked with fast foods from a warehouse outlet. Obviously the money from server pay outs needs to be balanced but its more rp than the regular 25$.
just an idea :)

I agree with the hot dog stand thing. I think it would be great. I know we have ambulances and restaurants, but think why you used the hot dog stands in SP for. Besides when the hot dog stand has a real human there working it is more appealing to use that. To expand your idea, maybe restaurants should also be places where you can get scripted job and get payed when someone buys there. When in some distant future the drunk cam comes into action then I m sure that bars will be full of people :D

@Su and @martin yes i like the idea with healing from hotdogs , i remember such talks to a lot customers. may the thing that the "hamburger seller" got a sign on map and a own color is the first step to a scripted job.

More jobs may be added to RS2, this one however, will not.
