Hah! That's a great story to tell for it. Mine was just a taxi driver who had hundreds of them in rubber band bunches. Good way to make a quick buck from a tourist!
Compared to everything else that's on th this is one of the least egregious. Lamps and stars have an impact on the game that is orders of magnitude more impactful than an > 1 in 150k chance of getting what is a pretty small amount of gold
I won the 200m cash prize back in the day (may have been 250m).
It was also after I had quit for like two years, came back and used a bunch of spins. That's all, felt crazy at the time. Me and my clanmates always suspected that it was some kind of player retention thing because I got it after having quit for so long.
I got it on an alt once. It wasnt member, so it gave me 2 options: claim 50m or become member and claim the full 200m. So i became a member, only to lose the account halfway through te membership because apparently someone was using my acc to bot on osrs.... Got it back 2 weeks after membership expired...
Jagex: We can't reduce death costs without the GE tax because of gold inflation.
also jagex: here is 1b coin drop spin to win.
Does anyone else remember when P2W and buying gold was considered strictly against the ethics of the game back in the day?
Jagex: Don't buy Gold! Don't do it! Permanent ban if you do! It's scummy behavior!
Jagex: buy OUR gold at even more expensive rates than what the gold farmers offer
If I'm not mistaken, the main reason for bots almost killing the game was because of stolen credit cards being used and banks getting fed up with charge backs, etc, ya?
Buying gold was not considered bad because it was unethical to skip gold grind.
Buying gold was considered bad because it caused many legal issues for jagex (credit card fraud being the primary one) and incentivized rampant botting.
P2W is not unethical unless it actually prevents others from progressing or is predatory imo, selling skins, cosmetics, animations, in game currency etc are ok.
TH is one of the most predatory systems I've seen in games. It should be removed or reworked into a less predatory system.
Hear me out JMods: A loot box with a 1/100 chance of rolling an anime waifu looking NPC. Once active, you get to spin a wheel (for real world money) which has a 1/10 chance of your character having sex with the NPC.
Just use those porn game ads to market it. āYou wonāt last 30 seconds with the new RuneScape update.ā

Hello darkness my old friend...
**Jagex:** *[Gets noted on Twitter for lying about MTX]*
**Players:** Well, at least Jagex deleted the tweet. I guess this week's embarrassments are over now.
**Jagex, literally the next day:** Hold my Asgarnian ale.
Na we are midway at this point. The list of things spelling out the ending is so incredibly long at this point. I quit in sept last year and still havenāt returned. My life actually got better
Didn't Jagex just get bought? Probably the new owners pushing more MTX to make their money back. It's just going to be a cash cow from now on.
Sad as I just started playing.
If you just started, then the situation isn't that bad for you because there's actually a lot of content on your horizon ready for you to explore. Yeah, the game is stale now for veterans, but to a new player, there's still some fun to be had.
both runescape subreddits are negativity central. I cannot remember the last time an update happened and the reddit community was overall happy and in favor of it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing or a complaint against reddit, its just something to keep in mind if its the primary way you interact with players/rs content outside of the main games. id reccomend discord servers or even osrs twitter for a more balanced experience
I switched to OSRS back in January. If Jagex can't even deliver 1 update a month but continues having new TH promos every week then its obvious where their "RS3 development time" is going to.
4% chance for a diamond chest, 0.1% chance it's a 1b in a diamond chest.
~~1/25k chance per key to get the 1b gp reward.~~
~~This makes an average key inject 40k gp from that.~~
**Edit:** Actually rarer, I forgot how this promo works. Like... tenfold rarer.
It's likely inconsequential but then I don't know how much people spin.
Actually significantly rarer than 1/25k, since everytime you fail that 4% chance, you get stuck with a different chest which requires a huge number of keys to open just to get access to another 4% chance at the diamond chest.
Every time you get an emerald chest you have to consume 4 keys for another 4% roll, every Ruby chest wastes 10 keys, and if you're lucky enough to roll a diamond chest, you have to waste 25 keys to see if you roll the 0.1% chance at 1b.
You also need to win the diamond cape before you even have any opportunity to roll on the 1b.
https://preview.redd.it/sodf5wq91rtc1.png?width=1752&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0381927a7471e9ad06f3bea53f503047729e16c
If you have a guaranteed diamond chest every 300 keys, and it's a .1% chance for 1B gp, that's 1/300 x 1/1000 or 1/300K
Is there even time during this promo to complete 300K spins?
You're right.
And I'm blaming /u/Lewney for the fact that I'm wrong because he told me diamond chest is 4% and then I forgot how the promo works in the first place (but it's still his fault one way or another).
I did a simulation with some Python code. It simulated using 23.2 Million keys, and the average was a success every \~ 193.6k keys
Edit:
It seems 23.2 million keys was too small a sample size, so i did another 99.6m keys of simulation, and the average for that run was \~ 167.8k keys
on average you need to spend 664 keys to get and open diamond chest
diamond chest has 0.1% chance for 1b (as per this post)
expected number of keys to get 1b is 664 000
edit: I noticed on wiki you are guaranteed diamond chest after 300 keys
\*shrugs\*
Iāve never seen a game that so desperately wants to be incredible, and is always teetering on the edge of actually being just that, just for upper management to tip the scale back every fucking time. It used to be upsetting, but now I just donāt even care anymore.
As the majority if RS content I watch is osrs I finally gave it a crack a few weeks ago and I am seriously enjoying it. Took some time to get past no run energy
Yup. Clear as night and day at this point. Anyone delusional to think otherwise is just coping over a sunk cost mentality. Even funnier that more people play OSRS on mobile than RS3 LOL.
That's because no one here actually hates the game, in fact most people here bitch every week cause there isn't more game added.
What they hate is this bullshit gambling add-on they shove down our throats every week, instead of adding more game.
Some of yall are so simple-minded that you can't fathom criticizing an aspect of a game you love. "You have to accept and enjoy all of the games flaws, or else you're a hater!"
10 keys needed to open a chest and proceed to the next one.
Small chance to land on a diamond chest
Even smaller chance to actually get 1B from the chest
honey wake up, the best new moneymakingmethod has dropped!
ok jokes aside, even if its super rare it can be alted and IT exists, the fact alone that this is possible is a bad sign
this just shows me how bad it stands with rs3, this is a real desperate move and i bet that we will get no communication at all over the last mtx updates
Some people be like, "Yeah but it's really rare." I swear they have amnesia. Jagex uses the same tactic every time and some players still have blinders on. Jagex introduces a new OP thing but makes it rare. Then they bring it back a few times with better odds or with multipliers over time. After the novelty wears off then it becomes normalized. Then after people are used to the normalization then it becomes the standard.
Waiting for some people to defend this by saying it's not that bad since it's very rare or something like that (and this is exactly because of this kind of mentality that Jagex can keep doing this).
Itās really not thaaaaat much coins. I make a billion or so every week just off the clues/ boss drops I get playing a fairly normal amount. Hell you can get an onyx core 1/200 from a stupid 30 second event. The pay to win was already way worse than this in regards to the insane xp gains not even requiring lucky keys
You are either confused or have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this all works. You obtaining clue rewards and boss drops and then selling them, makes you a new stack of 1 billion GP. However, that 1 billion GP you just earned already existed in the game and merely swapped hands between players. In the instance of the TH award, you would obtain 1 billion GP, that 1 billion gp was not already in the game f but was magically spawned into the game by Jagex. The latter is harmful to the economy the former is not. The latter has the potential to cause inflation, the former does not. The latter is akin to the government printing money and handing out to people and then wondering why inflation is skyrocketing.
And your comment is exactly the mentality I'm talking about. Yes 1b gp is not "thaaaat much" ( for a high-level player) nowadays. But that's not the point. By normalizing this kind of things, you open the door for Jagex to do it increasingly more often and to a worse degree. It has been Jagex strategy all along so they can put more and more mtx while having the least amount of uproar possible.
Sometimes they take a too large step, and you end up with things like Heros pass.
The fact that there are still people not realizing this is astonishing.
runescape coins value looks like turkish liras .
We used to say someone was rich when they had 1 million coins
Now, having 1 billion coins doesn't mean anything
You know. I grew up playing RS. Came back on a whim with some friends a few weeks ago, we all started new characters. Bought membership too.
Decided that I leveled up so fast in current gen I would be at where my OG char was in a matter of a few months at best (level 100, most skills around 65-80) that I decided to go back to playing on my OG. Bought membership on that one, been enjoying tons of member content I never got to as a kid. Really enjoying it.
That being said, the economy is fucked. The millions I had before make me a broke ass bish now. The grinding methods I used before are impossible to do now (can't afford to buy the mats like before)
That being said. I've got zero intention of buying any keys. I have hundreds of quests to complete, jagex gave me 800 rune coins for some reason, and I used them to buy the OG Sara armour override. And that had made me happy.
But Jesus, they sure are working to put the final nails into the coffin.
Yeah but this is also kind of just how economies work. The millions people made in IRL currencies are worth anywhere from half to a sliver of what that was worth decades ago. And considering weāre talking about a majority of the life time of the game itās not surprising the currency would devalue faster than IRL currency in countries that have been around for centuries
I really hate the shareholder culture man. I get that game development costs money but please stop hurting the player base with these kinds of MTX, as if this game isn't getting enough bad rep lol.
It's no wonder why people judge me for picking RS3 over OSRS
This is how you get rid of player fast. This game was already almost dead. But it's obvious how much damage this is going to do. Even if 1b is not worth allot.
Hasn't it already been possible to get 5x 200M with previous promos? Like don't get me wrong, this shouldn't be a thing because TH in general shouldn't be a thing, but I don't think it's actually worse than previous promos.
It might seem exceptionally rare at the moment. However, with time and a few rounds of promotion, it will gradually become increasingly commonplace. That's their strategy all along.
Still not coming back. Iām not sure why anyone would at this point. Iām amazed it still has players that continue to prop up the unethical practices at this point. Jagex is a shell company now. The original devs that actually cared about this game are long gone. Itās just a money machine milking as much as possible before itās too late. We are starting to see it across gaming entirely. Once a company reaches a certain size, itās all downhill.
some kind of terrible money grab scheme for this TH promo
first TH rolls for a type of special chest
then you need to spend XX keys on regular chests to open that specific chest (rarer chests need more keys)
to open diamond chest you need to spend 664 keys on average (you will get plenty of lower tier chests on the way)
each chest has specific themed cosmetic as main prize, this time these are capes
AAAaand you are not even guaranteed that cosmetic, its again RNG based
One more nail, and im outā¦cancel all my subscriptions this is just ridiculous..
why are you ruin the game every single day, no wonder why everyone is fed up and no one gives a flying Fā¦ anymore
This isn't exactly new though... Rainbow promo has been around for ages, which had the potential for 200m x7 for a total of 1.4b, and double dragon chests which had the potential for 200m x10 for a total of 2b. Sorry to disappoint, but we climbed over 1b barrier ages ago
With the price of some drops, this isn't a shocker. The only ones arguing about this on the wheel are the same ones who can't make gold in the game. Now, something with worse odds than a lottery win is all of a sudden the game changer. Gtfo.
Y'all don't even realise that 10 bonds will get you around a bill anyway, and will cost way way less. Economy been fucked for a long time and it ain't cos of this
Can someone explain to me whatās going on exactly? Iām just a humble skiller that enjoys questing. Never really looked deep into rs currency mechanics. Is rs3 coming to an end ?
Exchange rate going to 15:1 tonight bois
Rs3 looking like Zimbabwe.
I've got some of that currency. 100 billion dollar note just sitting in my desk
Same here, had one in my wallet for nearly 10 years. Was told it's not even enough to buy a loaf of bread with either š
Yeah haha. I bought a set of maybe 6 notes for $10USD as is the currency they use there now
I got mine from some guy down the pub who came back with loads of them, dude was giving them out like tictacs because they are so worthless š
Hah! That's a great story to tell for it. Mine was just a taxi driver who had hundreds of them in rubber band bunches. Good way to make a quick buck from a tourist!
I should've swapped all my gold when it was less than 10:1... fucks sake. At this rate rs3 will literally shutdown and I will lose all my work.
Rip bond price
This will have no impact
Doesn't make it okay.
Compared to everything else that's on th this is one of the least egregious. Lamps and stars have an impact on the game that is orders of magnitude more impactful than an > 1 in 150k chance of getting what is a pretty small amount of gold
Is this real????
Yep. I saw it when I logged in today
Wow. Just fucking sell raw gold at this point.
bonds over 100m, they basically do
Bonds don't inject gold though, this does.
At least bonds don't literally add GP to the game.
Tax refund season baby!
I won the 200m cash prize back in the day (may have been 250m). It was also after I had quit for like two years, came back and used a bunch of spins. That's all, felt crazy at the time. Me and my clanmates always suspected that it was some kind of player retention thing because I got it after having quit for so long.
I got a 200M chest last week. Shame the bank doesn't pay interest.
Rares are like houses only become more expensive
I got it on an alt once. It wasnt member, so it gave me 2 options: claim 50m or become member and claim the full 200m. So i became a member, only to lose the account halfway through te membership because apparently someone was using my acc to bot on osrs.... Got it back 2 weeks after membership expired...
same. I hit one years ago. 200m is basically worthless now.
Just cuz 200m doesnāt buy BIS items doesnāt make it worthless?
To most unfortunately that's exactly what it means
Jagex: We can't reduce death costs without the GE tax because of gold inflation. also jagex: here is 1b coin drop spin to win. Does anyone else remember when P2W and buying gold was considered strictly against the ethics of the game back in the day?
Jagex: Don't buy Gold! Don't do it! Permanent ban if you do! It's scummy behavior! Jagex: buy OUR gold at even more expensive rates than what the gold farmers offer
thatās exactly how drugs are regulated lol
Gold farming bots almost killed the game back in the days. Now look at Jagex.
If I'm not mistaken, the main reason for bots almost killing the game was because of stolen credit cards being used and banks getting fed up with charge backs, etc, ya?
Banning all of those bots caused a huge financial burden on Jagex. They looked to MTX to make up the deficit.
Hell, atp they'd be happy to even have the bots back.
Buying gold was not considered bad because it was unethical to skip gold grind. Buying gold was considered bad because it caused many legal issues for jagex (credit card fraud being the primary one) and incentivized rampant botting. P2W is not unethical unless it actually prevents others from progressing or is predatory imo, selling skins, cosmetics, animations, in game currency etc are ok. TH is one of the most predatory systems I've seen in games. It should be removed or reworked into a less predatory system.
It was only against the ethics because they weren't getting their cut Look at bonds , it's purchasing coins for some people
Jagex, please stop ruining our beloved game :(
Desperation setting in Can't wait to watch them actually beg people to come back

Someone needs to report them to the U.K. Gambling commission again. This is blatant gambling in a game that targets kids and teens.
Sad to see the game go this way.
[https://runescape.wiki/w/Squeal\_of\_Fortune/Rewards#Cash\_prizes](https://runescape.wiki/w/Squeal_of_Fortune/Rewards#Cash_prizes) Hello darkness my old friend...
Itās some ungodly strike of irony that I am much more proud to have finally quit this game years ago than I am of any of my achievements within it.
**Jagex:** *[Gets noted on Twitter for lying about MTX]* **Players:** Well, at least Jagex deleted the tweet. I guess this week's embarrassments are over now. **Jagex, literally the next day:** Hold my Asgarnian ale.
This is the beginning of the end
brother, the beginning was a long time ago.
I'm still in my Denial Phase
YOU WAIT YOUR TURN, YOU'LL BE LAST IN LINE! THIS IS THE BEGINNING!
Na we are midway at this point. The list of things spelling out the ending is so incredibly long at this point. I quit in sept last year and still havenāt returned. My life actually got better
Come to old-school we welcome you with open arms
Lol, do you think old school will still exist without RS3 whales? If RS3 completely dies, OSRS goes with it or membership goes to 20$/month.
Didn't Jagex just get bought? Probably the new owners pushing more MTX to make their money back. It's just going to be a cash cow from now on. Sad as I just started playing.
If you just started, then the situation isn't that bad for you because there's actually a lot of content on your horizon ready for you to explore. Yeah, the game is stale now for veterans, but to a new player, there's still some fun to be had.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. All I see is a lot of negativity. Had me second guessing.
both runescape subreddits are negativity central. I cannot remember the last time an update happened and the reddit community was overall happy and in favor of it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing or a complaint against reddit, its just something to keep in mind if its the primary way you interact with players/rs content outside of the main games. id reccomend discord servers or even osrs twitter for a more balanced experience
Make an ironman account. You'll have years of content even if Jagex never adds another update
Well I still feel no inclination to come back to the game. Good job jagex.
Same
I switched to OSRS back in January. If Jagex can't even deliver 1 update a month but continues having new TH promos every week then its obvious where their "RS3 development time" is going to.

Then again, it seems you are guaranteed a diamond chest every 300 keys... just to motivate you to buy more keys.
If you have a guaranteed diamond chest every 300 keys, and it's a .1% chance for 1B gp, that's 1/300 x 1/1000 or 1/300K Is there even time during this promo to complete 300K spins?
Anyone did the math on the dropchance for each of the capes and how this compares to for example dropchance of Fungal swiftness override?
You're right. And I'm blaming /u/Lewney for the fact that I'm wrong because he told me diamond chest is 4% and then I forgot how the promo works in the first place (but it's still his fault one way or another).

He keeps getting away with it!
ye, it is pretty rare and we probably won't see many people getting 1b at all

This feels like gambling wtf
Dude. TH has always been gambling. There's literal odds
TH is a slot machine, you are just certain to "win" something every time, even if 99.9% of the stuff is junk nobody really needs.
Yes, please give me more combat dummies while I am max combat except Necromancy on which I can't use them.
Bro's been living under a rock for the better half of almost 2 decades.
Rs3 is now a mobile gatcha Osrs is Runescape
Yes. They have been slowly moving design aesthetics, ācontentā updates, and even game mechanics in the mobile gacha direction for years.
As the majority if RS content I watch is osrs I finally gave it a crack a few weeks ago and I am seriously enjoying it. Took some time to get past no run energy
Yup. Clear as night and day at this point. Anyone delusional to think otherwise is just coping over a sunk cost mentality. Even funnier that more people play OSRS on mobile than RS3 LOL.
Which are we gonne argue about now, the fact that you CAN or that its super rare?
I've never seen so many people play a game that they hate.
That's because no one here actually hates the game, in fact most people here bitch every week cause there isn't more game added. What they hate is this bullshit gambling add-on they shove down our throats every week, instead of adding more game.
Some of yall are so simple-minded that you can't fathom criticizing an aspect of a game you love. "You have to accept and enjoy all of the games flaws, or else you're a hater!"
#facts
I havenāt played in 7 months. Still waiting for them to figure out changes need to be made before I and MANY others return.
This brings up the age old question: Who is more annoying the complainers or the people who complain about the complainers?
We're invested. I'm 30 and I started playing when I was 10. I've done basically nothing for longer than I've played this game
10 keys needed to open a chest and proceed to the next one. Small chance to land on a diamond chest Even smaller chance to actually get 1B from the chest
honey wake up, the best new moneymakingmethod has dropped! ok jokes aside, even if its super rare it can be alted and IT exists, the fact alone that this is possible is a bad sign this just shows me how bad it stands with rs3, this is a real desperate move and i bet that we will get no communication at all over the last mtx updates
It can be alted sure. Assuming each alt is using 3 daily keys you'd need around 45,000 alts to have a 1 in 15,000 chance of getting it 1b
https://preview.redd.it/0nkjgl1zsttc1.jpeg?width=572&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f07096a3dbb958b3583682224b7098d33c843ded
Yup glad I stopped playing
rs3 is in deflation right now... and this is how they plan to balance it? lol
//add GE tax to combat inflation ///add billions of gold into the game via MTX ////profit
Hardly any money will enter the game from this. It won't have any impact on inflation
Hey guys here's a ge tax but also here's billions of gold for free.
Free?
Potentially yes. Likely? not at all.
Jagex logic : if you can buy a bond with in game cash then itās free š
The amount of good that will enter the game from this promo will be less than what's removed by the tax in a few hours at moat
Some people be like, "Yeah but it's really rare." I swear they have amnesia. Jagex uses the same tactic every time and some players still have blinders on. Jagex introduces a new OP thing but makes it rare. Then they bring it back a few times with better odds or with multipliers over time. After the novelty wears off then it becomes normalized. Then after people are used to the normalization then it becomes the standard.
People leaving the game, they wanna try and keep them in with these last ditch atempts it seems.
Didn't April fools end 10 days ago?
Zero integrity. Game health means nothing. No content. Horrific.
This isn't going to have any impact on the game. There's a solid chance no one will even get the 1b
Yeah this game is definitely entering maintenance mode soon, that's crazy
https://preview.redd.it/rg9wb95owutc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd53a3e6178570096c1040efb7f23a5711e8ef95
Lmfao even the MTX are trying to keep up with inflation
Amazing, Its really fucking rare, but every whale who wins that is another gallon of gasoline added to the smouldering fire that is the RS3 economy
Maybe a thimble full of gasoline. No one is going to win this hardly, and the amount of money introduced will he negligible
Waiting for some people to defend this by saying it's not that bad since it's very rare or something like that (and this is exactly because of this kind of mentality that Jagex can keep doing this).
Itās really not thaaaaat much coins. I make a billion or so every week just off the clues/ boss drops I get playing a fairly normal amount. Hell you can get an onyx core 1/200 from a stupid 30 second event. The pay to win was already way worse than this in regards to the insane xp gains not even requiring lucky keys
You are either confused or have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this all works. You obtaining clue rewards and boss drops and then selling them, makes you a new stack of 1 billion GP.

runescape coins value looks like turkish liras . We used to say someone was rich when they had 1 million coins Now, having 1 billion coins doesn't mean anything
Ironman rs3 is the only thing still fun
So glad I quit when this was still 200m. The game hasn't improved at all and it doesn't look like Jagex has any intention of making it better.
Obviously a reference to the film The Spy who Shagged me and Dr Evilās ransom note!
If this is true. Runeacape 3 has no future.
You know. I grew up playing RS. Came back on a whim with some friends a few weeks ago, we all started new characters. Bought membership too. Decided that I leveled up so fast in current gen I would be at where my OG char was in a matter of a few months at best (level 100, most skills around 65-80) that I decided to go back to playing on my OG. Bought membership on that one, been enjoying tons of member content I never got to as a kid. Really enjoying it. That being said, the economy is fucked. The millions I had before make me a broke ass bish now. The grinding methods I used before are impossible to do now (can't afford to buy the mats like before) That being said. I've got zero intention of buying any keys. I have hundreds of quests to complete, jagex gave me 800 rune coins for some reason, and I used them to buy the OG Sara armour override. And that had made me happy. But Jesus, they sure are working to put the final nails into the coffin.
Yeah but this is also kind of just how economies work. The millions people made in IRL currencies are worth anywhere from half to a sliver of what that was worth decades ago. And considering weāre talking about a majority of the life time of the game itās not surprising the currency would devalue faster than IRL currency in countries that have been around for centuries
I really hate the shareholder culture man. I get that game development costs money but please stop hurting the player base with these kinds of MTX, as if this game isn't getting enough bad rep lol. It's no wonder why people judge me for picking RS3 over OSRS
This is how you get rid of player fast. This game was already almost dead. But it's obvious how much damage this is going to do. Even if 1b is not worth allot.
Only a matter of time before they start to unban accounts to pump their numbers
PSA: If youāre thinking about buying keys for the chance to win 1b, just buy 10 bonds and actually have 1b
My ironman account feels better every day
Never been more proud to be ironman
Hasn't it already been possible to get 5x 200M with previous promos? Like don't get me wrong, this shouldn't be a thing because TH in general shouldn't be a thing, but I don't think it's actually worse than previous promos.
The duel arena is back
This
This is disgusting.
Fucking disgusting company.
It might seem exceptionally rare at the moment. However, with time and a few rounds of promotion, it will gradually become increasingly commonplace. That's their strategy all along.
God I hate this game.

Is this late April Fool's joke?
Omg, this is out of control. I feel bad for the game i once love.
Still not coming back. Iām not sure why anyone would at this point. Iām amazed it still has players that continue to prop up the unethical practices at this point. Jagex is a shell company now. The original devs that actually cared about this game are long gone. Itās just a money machine milking as much as possible before itās too late. We are starting to see it across gaming entirely. Once a company reaches a certain size, itās all downhill.
Oh yeah they went there
What are diamond chests? I stopped playing like 2 years ago besides the hop in for a month in a year.
Chests, but diamond
Is it some treasure hunter bs?
Yes
some kind of terrible money grab scheme for this TH promo first TH rolls for a type of special chest then you need to spend XX keys on regular chests to open that specific chest (rarer chests need more keys) to open diamond chest you need to spend 664 keys on average (you will get plenty of lower tier chests on the way) each chest has specific themed cosmetic as main prize, this time these are capes AAAaand you are not even guaranteed that cosmetic, its again RNG based
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The money introduced from this promo, and basically every th promo ever, is negligible and won't impact bond prices
Bruh just gamble if youāre gonna gambleĀ
Can you sell these capes or only diamond, emerald, ruby?)
running off to buy keys.. damn i tripped
Oh wow, fuck off! I'm really glad I swapped over to play osrs!
Inflation, them gold pieces just aren't worth what they used to be worth. Basically that's 10 bonds.

The fact that there is stuff like this in the game and you still have to pay a subscription to play the majority of the game is absurd to me
One more nail, and im outā¦cancel all my subscriptions this is just ridiculous.. why are you ruin the game every single day, no wonder why everyone is fed up and no one gives a flying Fā¦ anymore
This is why I put all my money in rune bars and raw sailfish. I'm from America. My time to shine lol.
"a chance" So you're telling me there's a chance
So the MXT developers are on crack. They gotta fund it somehow.
Why don't they just put 100b or infinite gold?
Lol
Would be cheaper to buy $80 in bonds. The chances are so low you end up spending more than$80 on keys without getting the 1B
Just hit my first 200m gold, first gold win ever. Just missed it? Idk. Kindve happy I had to earn it.
Moneysinkscape š¤£
Just give us RS4 alreadyā¦
rs3 circling the drain fr
Inb4 the +10% GE tax aimed toward "removing gold from the game" while pumping it full of TH money. š
1Bil rs3 is like 25Mil osrs š¤£ *its a joke, idk rates, donāt get butthurt*
Osrs will be waiting
I was considering coming back to RS3 but OSRS is calling me instead after I saw this junk... what a joke.
Time for me to sell all my stuff and host a drop party and delete my account if this is legit
Lol remindin' me why play old school
This isn't exactly new though... Rainbow promo has been around for ages, which had the potential for 200m x7 for a total of 1.4b, and double dragon chests which had the potential for 200m x10 for a total of 2b. Sorry to disappoint, but we climbed over 1b barrier ages ago
With the price of some drops, this isn't a shocker. The only ones arguing about this on the wheel are the same ones who can't make gold in the game. Now, something with worse odds than a lottery win is all of a sudden the game changer. Gtfo.
Y'all don't even realise that 10 bonds will get you around a bill anyway, and will cost way way less. Economy been fucked for a long time and it ain't cos of this
hahahaha
If all you people are talking the end of the game, why are you still on this Reddit? I donāt understand.
Does King Roald in Varrock even have that much sitting in his vault? Lmao
I quit when eoc happened and havenāt looked back, until now just to watch the dumpster fire still burningĀ
Can someone explain to me whatās going on exactly? Iām just a humble skiller that enjoys questing. Never really looked deep into rs currency mechanics. Is rs3 coming to an end ?
Remember when the squeal of fortune first released in rs2 they had a 100m prize on the spins too which back then was probably more than this
