[Request For Comments] Secondary Bank Account: Increased Storage Limit
Hello RFC board its me again. Huge shoutouts to Alex for RFC-ing this originally (and programming it!), I'm sorry it didn't get in the first time, but time has passed that allows me to run this up again on the board.
In later revisions of RS2, they increased the total bank space players could have. Due to the limitations of our client at this time, it is not possible to do it this way.
What is possible, is a secondary bank account, contained in a second container you can switch to at a bank teller.
You will have to unlock this functionality at a high cost of coins, and once unlocked, you can switch from your "main bank" to your "secondary bank", and vice versa, at a bank teller via dialogue. There should be a relevant sink involved in unlocking this feature, as more space is quite the nice upgrade.
I propose (which is open to discussion), a fee of 5M GP to unlock the second account.
This effectively will double your bank space from 496 bank slots, to 992 slots.
This will alleviate concerns at the current time such as lacking the costume room/construction item storage and limited space. A boon to irons with full banks.
Other arguments:
"But processing resources and cleaning resources from your bank is part of the gameplay!" Yes, it is. It is still the case in the live J***x games. So, it would still be the case regardless of the increased limit or not.
"Will this eat our items? Is this stable?" This concept, functionality-wise, runs on similar code to the already functioning bank container. It's just now loading a second seperate bank container, and saving said second bank container, to your playersave. In plain English: This is just a second bank account, and will work the same way as the original, main bank account.
