Lets get real.

Guess which comment was from Edge.

[Vitoo]

Well I tried RPing a hobo, somehow got robbed 2k, not sure how that works, but I feel you bruh.

That's how it goes in the city of Argonath boy.

RS5 is a fresh new revolutionary system made from scratch, with alot of amazing features and functions. All of these was made with Gandalf's ideas and also with our own, because we had a suggestions topic for a long time. You can clearly see that it's a great improvement in the script system compared to the one we had before(RS4), this project exists thanks to the almost daily hardwork of the staff members, server scripters and mappers.

 This new script system gives us many opportunities to do almost all that we can imagine (with the certain regulations, of course) and it's really sad to see that alot of people is wasting the chance to try it only because they didn't wanted to change. Changes are necesary!, It's called progress and that's what the server is doing; Are you people refusing the change only for a few virtual bucks? Because there's no other reason to not be playing.
You can say that the script has some bugs and yes, it does have, RS4 had bugs too but hey, nothing is perfect and remember that a bunch of people are sitted over there, doing everything to fix those problems.
You can say that is very hard to understand and well, yes, it might be a bit complicated but it'll be only at the start!, Everything that is new is hard to understand in the first try, but with the time you'll get used to it. If it's not hard then is not good. Also, remember that the system is not fully done, so we don't know what surprises we can get! You people are going to miss all of that only for a data reset? Disappointing... Oh well.

In my personal opinion about RS5, apart from the minor bugs, it's simply awesome and i can't wait for this to be completed. I know that it'll be great and i would like to thank to all the team for putting alot of effort on this project that it was made for all of us to enjoy and have fun without expecting any reward. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

Everything you said stands, but RS5 is simply not functional without many people and without them having a lot of cash. If it's not functional, there's no fun, if there's no fun, people leave.

I don't see how there's a need of extremely rich people for the server to be functional. I'm not going to comment on the second statement since it's based on a pointless concept which somehow links functionality to money.
Your assertion 'simply' doesn't make sense

[Patton]

having money to always roll around with heavy armor and heavy weaponry in fancy cars

Then we could say the reset was a success.

When u have 200k on RS5 u are considered extremely rich.

Let's take an example of trucking system.

Why is noone a trucker ? Maybe because noone owns a bizz ?
Why noone owns a bizz ? Maybe because noone has the cash ?
If noone is a trucker people are not able to rob a truck on it's way to deliver the stock.


Then let's take mechanic system.
People would rather run from LS-LV than pay 400$ for a repair.

Then let's take drug system.
You can't sell drug to anybody, because noone has the cash to buy the drugs you want to sell.

Then let's take medic system.
There's still no food system so the only way to get healed is by medic, but people would rather jump off a cliff and suicide which will lead them to play a lottery of spawning in random hospital which will again lead to rage quitting if you spawn 3 light years from LS or celebration if you spawn in LS.

That's how many features unfunctional because of a low ammount of cash ? 5, 6 ?


On the other hand, here's my suggestion: Give people their National Heritages and give people some cash to buy a car. Then let the magic of RS5 begin.

Oh boy.. You have absolutely no clue about the amounts of money that people already have. 100,000$ in the bank is already a frequent sight for the majority of the server. Not to mention several players who will soon be able to boast of being millionaires. See not everybody abandons the ship when the time comes to actually do something.

Medic services are used frequently. Suiciding to regain hp is not allowed and I'm happy to say that people don't choose to risk it.
Mechanic services are also used frequently, but of course, they will be used much more in the near future as more and more people buy their own vehicles.

What you're asking for is free money. Not going to happen

get to work!

[Vitoo]

Say whatever you want. Rich mobster is the only role I actually enjoy playing.

[JDC]

Well I tried RPing a hobo

somehow got robbed 2k

At least you were in character


For crying out loud, that IS the whole point of a reset. The problem with having a lot of rich people whose money stagnates in the bank is that players run out of horizons to conquer, especially since players have had years to explore every path in RS4. You get 3 cars, a house, a business. Now what? Sure, you can just give it all away and start over, but you've been down the exact same road before. I felt older players losing their drive because some of them could not find challenges that are new.

Now, everyone gets to work and gets the same challenge... new goals to be attained, new aspirations to fulfill, a new world to start in. I'd rather see myself sailing to a new land through a stormy sea than rot in a calm ocean that leads nowhere.

Not to mention the side benefit that the tight corner RS5's rocky release put Argonath in showed us who are loyal to this server and who's just here for some virtual money. If you're not willing to work for your wealth in a time of change, then you do not deserve to be rich here. Not now.

What's stopping you from playing that role now?

[Jaka_Lah]

Rich mobster

Self explanatory...

That is actually...bad

People who have 100k are no-lifers (I apologize if you find yourself in this group, but you should really ask yourself some things). Sleeping on the server only for a firemission which often gets bugged to earn 1-2k, just lol.

Don't compare me to someone who had 100k, cotage and blista compact in RS4 and who didn't get highly affected by the restart. For such people it's not a big problem to earn 100k they previously had.

There's not a single rule which stops people from jumping off a cliff, they just can't /kill. People don't suicide, because they dont want to spawn 3 light years from LS on foot.
I doubt in that, people would rather run to another state car. When people get their own cars they will just blow them up and respawn them, not pay 400$ to a Mechanic.

I'm asking for the cash i earned in past 3 years, for the cash i spent hardwork and shit ton of time, that's not a free cash. Actually im asking for the properties i previously posted on National Heritage list.


Back on the theme - RS5 without many players and money is not functional, meaning there's no fun, meaning people leave. When people join the server they want to have fun, but all they can do is camp near Fireman station and wait for the mission. The ammount of different RPs they can do is limited by the cash, people want to have visual objects and stuff. We all know that script will work in the future, but untill we reach 'that' future, people will already be gone.

Once you understand that everything if flipping around money (almost whole script) and that without money there's no fun, come back to me.

[Jaka_Lah]

People who have 100k are no-lifers

Or people who try hard to get what they had in RS4. If you are going to ignore the fact that you're too lazy to actually get the money you have no right to tell others that they are no lifers for doing something that you are too lazy to.

Like I said alredy, I tried RPing a hobo and got robbed 2k, I had fun roleplaying, I had fun losing money, *insert provocation towards the group the user is in that would get censored by admins anyway* so I understand why you wouldn't get it.

True, i dont want to spend 10 hours to earn 5k, because that doesnt make any sense.

Let me rephrase it then for you: The ammount of different RPs and fun you can have are limited by money, which will make you bored after 3rd time of doing same RP in a row.
