#RUNESCAPE FORUMS BONDS FULL#

The key to Bonds is that there are now two paths for players to access and enjoy every piece of premium content the game as has to offer. By allowing real players to meet the demand, gold farmers can no longer exploit it and are cut out of the system, preventing the injection of billions of additional GP per day into the economy, remedying the massive inflation caused, and thereby stabilising the economy overall.

On top of that, we hope to see this open up the full members' game for many more free players, those who can no longer afford subscription and - crucially - to deal a death blow to the long-standing issues with gold farming.īonds are a critical part of our war against gold farmers and of fixing the damage they have caused to the game economy. With this update, our aim is to unlock your investment in your account: giving hardcore players a way to get more than ever for their time and dedication, and more freedom for everyone in how they trade.

We’ve added this tax on secondary trading to act as a gold sink and to prevent excessive merchanting of Bonds. Players who want to re-trade their Bond to another player will need to pay a trade tax, which will be 10% of its Grand Exchange value. Once gifted or traded in-game, the Bond becomes untradeable. The value that players determine for a Bond trade is entirely up to them.Ī Bond is purchased in a tradeable state. Consume: Player B can then use that Bond for themselves and receive membership, spins or RuneCoins.Gift/Trade: Player A and Player B agree a trade for the Bond - either as a gift, or in return for in-game resource or currency of any agreed value.The bond can then be gifted, traded, or consumed. Purchase: Player A purchases a Bond from the Billing Page with their credit card or PayPal account for real money.Just like any other item on the Grand Exchange, the community will determine how much Bonds are worth in relation to other items. You'll be able to freely determine how you exchange your Bonds - be it on the Grand Exchange or in player-to-player trades - and how much in-game wealth you wish to buy and sell them for. They cost $5/£3/€4.25per Bond and can be redeemed in exchange for 14 days membership, 8 spins or 160 RuneCoins. We’ve even set up a way to use Bonds to buy RuneFest tickets this year - see our FAQ for details.īonds may be purchased via our website's Billing Page. Soon afterwards we plan for them to be usable for charitable donations and - in the future - perhaps even the Jagex Merchandise Store. They can be redeemed in-game for membership, spins or RuneCoins. Bonds are initially purchased just as you would purchase membership, but they can then be freely gifted or traded with other players. Bonds are new in-game items, allowing you to pay for selected account-related and out-of-game benefits with in-game resources.
