What is your suggestion?:

Add gravestones to Alora that will hold players items on death for a set amount of time. Players would need to unlock their items for a fee. We could also add deaths coffer that would accept items for a gold value, to increase their amount spent to be able to retrieve those items back (could be used as an item sink).

 

Is this in OSRS?:

Yes

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

No

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

This could work as a money sink while also helping players who disconnect and die pvming from losing their items. 

 

 

With all the money 'collected' from these deaths it could go to either the well of goodwill to make the community happy, OR towards buying items from TP using the item consumption device to help delete items from the game, the GP will go back to players, that would go back to paying death fees in a cycle that will lead to no extra money coming in but items getting removed.

Support. 

It would be a nice QOL if, when you get disconnected and your internet is down for more than five minutes, you had a chance to reclaim your items before they are lost. Having a fee for this could also be a good way to create a money sink.

I wanted to include the ability to purchase tiered gravestones for items to stay even longer (highest tier being permanent until claimed) could be another money sink, but I wanted to see if this gets implemented first.

I think this is a dupe suggestion, but not 100% sure. But I do support and like the polls you added as well.

This would give UIM yet another permanent death bank so I don't really support unless it just doesn't apply to them.

I don’t think the other suggestion went into detail about where the gp goes after if there was another one?

I agree, but I believe this is how it is on osrs (or is it they lose their storage from hespori for example, so dieing twice wouldn’t make sense?) regardless we can poll to exempt them from this, or Omicron can make an executive decision on it

Support. 

 

I think it'd be a good QOL for Alora, Especially if you've lost connection and died.. it'll give you that extra chance to get your items back.

 

Maybe a gravestone tier system as well - not sure how that would work out though but fully supported!

Good idea, to make money be spent on fixing the economy.

 

I support this idea.

[Kareem Sqr]

It's a good idea, would be a nice update!

Support.  Sometimes, your internet goes out and you can't get back in time to loot your items.  

eg: storm in the area / natural disaster / network issue

Would be nice to know that your items are going to be kept safe for you.

 

I like the idea of it going into the well; however, I would prefer all gp collected from everyone's gravestones to go straight into Real Alan's eternal donor fund

Reason being: the other option requires more questioning -> what items should be bought out of the TP?

Currently, the TP is buying out the mostly expensive items.  Instead, I think cheaper items should be bought out first.  This way we can stabilize the price of common items.  Why prioritize common items?

Because they affect more of the playerbase.  Eg: use 1b tax money to buy out 1 torva item or 1b tax money to buy out all the barrows items/staff of the dead/serp helms/furies that under X amount.  This way the price of pking items stabilizes.  Which will then cause pking costs to become more stabilized for everyone, and the wilderness to become more enjoyable.

 

What's my point -> the tax money could be spent a lot more efficiently to improve our game.  

Rather than buying out big ticket items like bonds or torva items -> and impacting just a select few 

In a nutshell -> get more bang for your buck

[Folivora]

Support! Actually a cery clever idea to use the deaths coffer many and put it to use somewhere else in the game. 2 birds with 1 stone

[strudelle]

this would be a huge qol for ironman that dies to a dc and cant make their way back on time, because they have to grind that item back and it can be very annoying.

 

support your suggestion

Did you just make your suggestion on my suggestion sir? lol but good idea, ill comment on yours soon

[Phosani]

100000% yes. As someone who dc'ed to a power outage in the first few months of my account's life and lost everything, I'd love to have gravestones. HUGE QoL thing to be added, and kinda surprised it isn't yet. 

[OzyNaMdies]

Support, good QoL for people who dc.

[RNG Bitch]

Support, would be a great QOL update
