PkHonor

First off, I'm glad to announce that RSPS100 has now become a tier 1 toplist! They were a pretty new and small toplist a year ago, but by now they've grown to be about as big and often visited as the other big toplists, so we have decided to give higher rewards for voting on it. Enjoy!

Furthermore, for a long time we've been thinking about what possible items we could add to the vote store, but have come up short. We do have an idea to implement a system where players can gain some temporary boosts (mostly in point or XP gains), but that system has not yet been implemented and probably won't be released before the end of the vacation.

However, one of the suggestions we received recently was to add PK'ing supplies and/or the ability to temporarily use ancient curses to the vote store. It might motivate new players to vote, while giving them the ability to get right into PK'ing. However, I must admit I'm not quite sure what these supplies would be (noted sharks? super potions? heavily degraded pVp equipment like vesta?) and how much they would cost. So once again, I'm hoping our loyal community will be able to make some good suggestions for such items and their prices.

List of suggestions for items in Vote shop: (Still in editing phase)

[*] Supplies pack which has: 500x Saradomin Brew\100x Super Restore\100x Prayer\100x Super Combat Potions and 1,000x Sharks. Price: 75 Points
[*] Temporary Ancient Curses (1 Hour). Price: 100-150 points

Maybe add some cosmetic items as well which Ironmen could buy too, so Ironmen kinda have a reason (a small one, but still) to vote.

Isn't that waaaaay too cheap / too much? Then every player can get one of those packs every single day (and still have some points leftover) so no one will ever have to buy these items from skillers.

Skillers don't make many of these at all, since most of these items are in the ::shops. Brews\restores\super sets\sharks are all in ::shops except for super sets which can be found in premium store.

Skillers produce Overloads\Extremes\Antifires\Super Prayers right now with the Herblore skill and that's pretty much it, tbh.

Still.. Our intention with this isn't exactly to make it so that no one ever has to buy PK supplies again. We were thinking more along the lines of: doing your daily votes gets you supplies for one or a few hours of PK'ing. After all we would like there to be a reason for people to keep voting every day.

How about we add streaks then? The bigger streak you have, the greater rewards you get? (not only extra points)

Like at 3 day streak you get x bonus, at 7 y bonus, capping the rewards at like 24?

We thought about it but since we already have a streak system for vote points it seemed rather redundant. If the increased rewards you get from that aren't enough it would be much, much easier for us to adjust these values than to build a sort of dynamic shop in-game. (one only takes us a few minutes, the other could take days)

EDIT: Besides the streak should be about when you vote, not when you spend your vote points.

I don't think you've understood my idea here;

I ment, the higher streak you have of voting everyday the greater rewards you get.

For example:

At 3 day streak of voting, you get extra 20 bank space.
At 7 day streak of voting, you get 25% (doesn't have to be 25%) Exp Boost ticket which lasts an hour.

Also, we could make seasonal vote shops or something (every 1-3 months the shop's content changes) so people would vote for those items in the shops, of course the items would be untradeable.

Literally brainstorming as you can see.

Much appreciated. That could work, yes. Although temporarily increased bank space is tricky because of what happens when it expires, and as mentioned in the announcement we still have to make a good system for boosters so that will take time.

For now what we're really looking for is things we can add right now, not entirely new systems we could create.

Well you could do the 20 bank space extra at like 21 day streak and make it permanent.
