Ironman accounts can't trade items; this concern of yours doesn't make any sense.  On top of that, the amount of time it would take to earn the money required for this completely defeats the purpose of doing so.

Dropping or getting killing your ironman in the wilderness are ways of transferring the items to your main. It isn't all that hard to earn 3m from scratch once you're 55 magic and have decent combat stats. I could make an ironman, get it to the point where I can kill something that drops a lot of rune/addy without the need of food or pots, kill it until I get enough cash for say a void melee set, buy it for 12m, transfer it to my main and sell it for 15m. This is a pretty long shot, but it still should be taken into consideration. It would be easier to get 12m on an ironman than to do pest control for void.

As for my whole obvious and redundant mention of how isolated ironmen are, non-ironmen might feel that. Things like group-bossing and minigames will definitely take a hit if suddenly a lot of people start playing on an ironman. Though this is entirely related to the amount of players we have. Then again, ironman mode might give us more players.

A void set is 7mil, so you're going to grind on an ironman account to buy one for 12mil.  You need to think things through before you post; you're spouting nonsensical drivel to try and force your point across.  The only concern is runes.  I agree that an ironman account could drop items to a main; however, it makes little sense as to why someone would do that, as items cost more for ironman accounts and money takes far longer to make -- in the end, you'd be losing money either way. 

Additionally, instead of trying to explain why something is wrong, come up with a solution for it, such as "Increase the value of runes in the ironman shop to be above general market prices, or make it so that items dropped by an ironman account do not show up to anyone."

As for this affecting group bossing, you could make the same argument for pures and skillers.  People take breaks from PvMing to play on other accounts all the time; it's common practise because a lot of people prefer diversity.  If someone is on their ironman account and you want to PvM with them, then ask them to come on their main; if they don't come, that means they don't want to.


Otto, the dropping items is, as I said above, a very simple fix.  As for the ability to donate making it pay to win, that is altogether untrue.  You can buy a blade and a whip to help you; that's it.  You have no advantage other than being a member, which is in no way pay-to-win, especially since we're considering allowing people to buy member tickets with their mains and use them on their ironman accounts.  You still have to train; you still have to gather supplies; you still have to partake in the overall grind.  Owning a whip is slightly better than owning a dragon scimitar; owning a blade would be about the same as a whip, as it should have similar dps.  There are no unfair advantages from donating, and it most certainly is not pay2win, unless someone starts selling their donator items to the general store, in which case that's a lot of revenue for Thomy. 

Finally, people are going to buy more member tickets to make their ironman accounts members, and it will take longer to get maxed on an ironman account, which will result in more member tickets over time.  There will also be players who donate solely to get donator items on their ironman accounts to show off on their ironman account.  Introducing ironman accounts will only bring in more donations; however, that's only a side benefit, as this is an update to make the game more enjoyable and attractive to newcomers.

Suggestions & Ideas / Introducing Ironman accounts

« on: August 11, 2015, 04:43:44 pm »

Players have been getting bored lately with not much diversity nor challenge in Emps' features.  Adding ironman accounts is a simple solution to this problem and will reignite the spark that some, especially maxed, players have lost.

Ironman overhead icon: or

Hardcore ironman overhead icon:


|An ironman will have the following limitations:

• Cannot pickup items dropped by other players or NPC's that were killed by other players
• Items dropped by an ironman cannot be seen/picked up by anyone else
• Cannot participate in group minigames
• Cannot wear sacred clay
• Donator weapons are cosmetic (remain as level 1 weapons)
• Cannot trade with other players*
• Can only purchase items from the ironman store (below)
• Cannot purchase a Guardian Angel**

*An ironman account can purchase member rings and cosmetic donator items (no whips nor blades) off of other players, with a minimum cap of 5mil cash.
**Alternatively, a Guardian Angel would cost 5mil

|A hardcore ironman will have the same limitations, but it will have the following added limitiation:

• Dying on a hardcore ironman account reverts the account to a regular ironman account*
• Cannot purchase Guardian Angels

*A hardcore ironman can earn a limited few lives (perhaps simply a GA1) by reaching specified goals: Total level of 1000, total level of 1500, total level of 2000, total experience of 500mil.**
    **This may also apply to a regular ironman

|An ironman shop will be added specifically for ironman accounts

• Can only be accessed by an ironman or hardcore ironman account
• Stock does not deplete
• Sells armours, weapons, ammunition, and runes
  • Armour
    • Bronze to rune
    • Leather to green d'hide
    • Wizard to mystic
  • Weapons
    • Bronze to rune
    • Shortbow/longbow to Yew shortbow/longbow
    • Basic staves to mystic staves/ancient staff
  • Ammunition and runes
    • Bronze to steel
    • Same stock as Aubury
  • Additional items
    • Helm of Neitzinot, 3mil
    • Void pieces, 3mil ea
    • Other unobtainable items

|These are some uses of the cash earned on an ironman account:

• Purchasing supplies from the ironman shop
• Purchasing donator items off of players
• Purchasing Guardian Angels (5mil each, limited to regular ironman accounts only)

|Additional thoughts:

• An ironman account cannot trade donator items to anyone -- an ironman account can only receive donator items*
• Upon release, allow players to have an active account reset/deleted so that they may use that account for their ironman run**

*A warning message will come up to inform the player prior to accepting the exchange.
**Some players have made their own makeshift ironman accounts already or have "claimed" certain account names that they would want to use for an ironman account.

Martin and I figure that this would be a great and relatively simple update.

Feedback and input would be great, guys; thanks.
