Pay and Sprays - The predicament

[Teddy]

We've been keeping a close eye on things as we draw near to releasing the first major wave of RS5.1 which includes the release of pay and sprays which can be ownable. We've included the price range; which has been modified in order to balance profit with the demand of the business. However profit is not the only thing we're having to focus on right now.

We've noticed an influx of people "camping" pay and sprays and recognize the possibility of a quite legitimate bloodbath (mass DM) possibility in order to obtain these highly valued properties. It is with this in mind that I announce we will be taking full ownership of all PNS and will begin handing them out in auctions, event rewards, and lotto-style competitive events. We thought of a few different release methods that would attempt to even out the distribution possibility but all proved unfair... this is the best possibility we can think of under the circumstances.

 We have received reports of people preparing to use TP hacks upon server restarts, people saving positions near the pay and sprays, and a whole host of other shenanigans. It's also with this in mind that we'll be delaying the release of this from a mid-week release to a regularly scheduled week release.

When will be the release?

What's the problem? Fastest players will but them, same as ammunations.

Week 1, this upcoming Sunday.

The problem is handling a release without mass DM or cheating. If we can find a way to achieve that then we can consider the possibility of a regular release.

No one will DM, for sure. Hacks? =punishemet plus removal of ownership if they buy it. simple as that....

Maybe after the release, freeze all players and teleport them somewhere. After, release them and the fastest player will have the opertunity to own them. Not all can buy/offer one, so in this race are only4-5 players... Alright overall they deserve to own one couse they have worked hard, different from the other part.

Ok.

Interesting

well in my opinion since a single player wont be able to afford it (possibly) the best solution is to have an auction for it and the highest group to pay will own it, and of course auction well be led by admin+ staff members, that's the best way to prevent mass DM, Save spawn area (TP hacks) and other types of rule breaks that would give advantage to a member or a group over others

Make the release when there are no players around the server.

[Stivi]

Will there be protection for PnS ?

This would be a great asset for Verdant Motors
