Spectre Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 What do you think? I think going mobile will introduce a ton of new players to the game. And buying gold will become something like clash of clans, that game generated billions from the selling of gems. I feel like this update is gonna boost RS big time, cause everyone prefers to game on their phones now. That's my opinion, what's yours?
Jowsiej Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I hope it, but I doubt it :P Rs millions always have his tops and downs....
Anomaly Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Yes, but we still need gold sinks or gp will be 0.30 in 2 years Edited July 23, 2017 by adam k 1
ForBobo Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 not at all, gold prices will keep going down unless massive gold sinks are introduced or new content makes gold more valuable (like raids did), but i hope you're right and they do go up.
aloevera Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 RS Mobile will be released in December & the gold prices always increase in December
oTroll Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 The gold should spike up, yeah. New influx of players means more buying gold but the same amount selling gold, demand goes up while supply stays the same... but the spike up won't last long. It's not like mobile players are going to buy gold for gear to do bandos, they're going to buy gold for a dragon axe to train their WC, or a dragon harpoon to train their fishing. Huge amounts of gold will not be bought.

In my opinion, I think Jagex have an amazing plan for the game, they know that if the prices of gold falls so will their user base. I'm sure that almost 80% of the people playing are doing so for monetary benefits either for the long term or the short term. Gold prices have to go up for the game to survive.

Staking on mobile, in my opinion, will definitely be a thing. 1 minute ago, Rxdking said: Kids getting money from parents.

Yeah i agree, but i don't have any faith in jagex anymore. OSRS starting to just copy rs3 (which is a very very bad sign), and the mods themselves are getting worse and worse in terms of having knowledge of the game. Therefore i really don't think gold prices will rise aside from the periodic bursts we get due to various factors. Edited July 23, 2017 by ForBobo

So as long as it doesn't go to that stage, I feel like the game is gonna do fine! 2
str555 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I do not think that the price of gold will raise at all. I don't think that it will have any effect on the price of gold.
