This should give buyers and sellers the chance to spot any scams, but if you need to trade quickly – such as in certain PvM situations – or if you’re confident taking the risk, you can opt out of the delay completely.

We’ve also updated the player-to-player Trade menus, preventing the ‘Accept’ button from being pushed for a few seconds after either player changes the items in the trade. Along with this, any item sold for over 499,999,999 GP has a capped tax of 5,000,000 GP, which will show in the interface.įrom Top to Bottom:Status of an existing offer where tax is charged, below the 5m cap.Setting up a new offer where tax is charged, below the 5m cap.Setting up a new offer, where tax is charged, above the 5m cap. This can also be tracked when viewing the offer status for any sale, so as a seller, you will always be able to see your bottom line – so don’t worry about hidden costs!Īny item sold for under 100 GP will not have tax applied, therefore any sales under this threshold will show that no tax has been applied in the interface. The Grand Exchange interface has also been updated to clearly show how much tax you will pay when selling an item. This tax is applied on a per item basis, so if selling multiple items, the tax is applied per item sold, rather than the total received. Any item sold through the Grand Exchange will be subject to the tax which will be deducted from the initial sale price. We’ve added a 1% tax for all sales on the Grand Exchange.

With this update we’re introducing the Grand Exchange Tax and Item Sink discussed last week. This week we’re implementing the Grand Exchange Tax and adding some long-awaited PvP changes! In other news, we’ve got a range of exciting, Christmassy things in the Official Merch Store – so you’ll learn all about those, too. (12:45 BST) – The game has been shutdown and we’re working as fast as we can to get the game back online! The team are currently testing a fix for the item production and NPC stacking issues.We can confirm a rollback will not be required.We’ll share an ETA as soon as we’re able to!Apologies for the inconvenience. (11:45 BST) – Reports of making certain items faster than regularly intended. I think the saddest thing about this post is that the game clearly recognized that it made some bad decisions after 2007, so it created an entire different server just so people could play the old game, and now they are undermining the integrity of the game by making changes to it.Issues and Hotfixes (December 9th) Issues Raised People were willing to sell for lower prices simply so they saved time. When you have a system without a global market you get this unique mechanic where some people would buy and sell items solely to make money, and the whole idea is that by being the middle man and doing the traveling and trading of the items they made money off of it, but it wasn't exactly easy work. Socializing with people in the game was completely different after the GE, because before if you really needed something you would try to buy it off of people you saw using it, or try to sell it while you were skilling. I will agree that the GE made buying and selling items a thousand times easier, but it also lost character that made the game special. I really enjoyed the fact that the players made the game into what it was, the actual game was just a tool. Also things like the one world where you could make money by running pure essences to the rune temple. I thought it was amazing that the players invented a custom that you went to a specific bank in specific worlds if you were looking to sell or buy items. Its been a long time since I played runescape, but the main reason that I loved the game when I was a kid was because of the way the game made the players feel, it feels similar to the wildwest where you started with nothing and fought your way up, which included the risky illegal type things such as the wild/scamming.
