www.runescape.com wrote: Over the last couple of weeks, many players have been using the Item Lending system to lend out items for profit. That's not really what we designed the system to achieve; it was intended to be a simple way for players to once again share objects with their friends. Since some players seem so keen to rent out their valuable items, though, we've adjusted the system to let them do it safely. Instead of 'using' your items on the borrowing player, you should send them a trade request. This will open the trade screen, where you can right-click on an item and choose to 'Lend' it. Once you've offered the item for loan, it will be visible to both players in the trade offer screen, within the 'Loan' box. A button will appear underneath the item, allowing you to choose the duration of the loan. Your trade-partner can then offer to pay you or lend you another item in return. Of course, you can still offer to lend an item without receiving anything in return. Item Lending does not affect your trade limits if you are lending or receiving an item for nothing in return. Your trade limits will be affected, however, if something is offered in return for the lent item. Do remember: If you borrow an item 'until logout', its owner might log out or take it back at ANY time, so you should be cautious about paying for this kind of service. In other news... We've been busy again, fixing a number of graphical or minor bugs that you may have spotted. Read on for a few of the more noticeable changes included in this update. There have been a few additions and modifications to the bank this week; most notably, we have added the 'Withdraw All-But-1' option, so you can leave placeholder items with ease. The bank's scrollbar speed has also been increased, so you can get to your items faster. On a slightly different note, you can now retrieve your lent items from the wandering bankers that are typically found outside minigames like Fist of Guthix or Bounty Hunter. Players can now take the Summoning skillcape into Bounty Hunter. It seems this latest skillcape wasn't permitted, so Bounty Hunter has been adjusted to bring it in line. When playing in HD fullscreen mode, you now have the option to hide the chatbox. The tabs below it will still flash when you've been sent a message by a friend or someone requests to trade with you etc, so you shouldn't miss anything!

5/5 I like it because the use item was harder because they could have already been out of sight. I also like the "withdraw all but 1", so I can keep a placeholder without clicking on "withdraw x". I also like the fact that you can now hide the chatbox, it looks pretty cool. Flash |

I already don't like this update because for banking they moved "Withdraw X" or "Deposit X" above "Withdraw All" or "Deposit All". I understand why they did this, so that the two "Withdraw All..." who be together, but it annoys me everytime I bank because I accidently hit the "X" ones. Suppose we'll just have to get used to it, like anything else jagex changes... |

All the bank update did for me was make things more crowded. I see scams coming out of item lending if they haven't happened already ![]() |

They would of made more people happy with ghost items for place holders. That way, withdraw all but one wouldn't be needed because well.. if you assigned that item to that specific spot, it would be a ghost item in your bank when you withdrew it. There's your placeholder. You would no longer even have to waste your money buying two of everything, it would satisfy those who want the ghost itmes, satisfy those who want a placeholder, and it would not have the annoyance of what mike pointed out. I noticed the scroll was a bit slow though so increasing it is good (I've not logged in today so I don't know if it's too fast now) Chat box never bothered me but I guess it would be cool to hide it for some things. |

I guess withdraw all but one is more simple. I like it but I agree with what Mike said about Depositing/Withdrawing X accidentally instead of All. |

This makes up for the update from 2 weeks ago. The bank is improves a lot but it isn't all there yet. You still can't but items on the last spot of your untabbed items. I'm happy the drag speed is increased because it was so hard to put items on the correct place. It also improves the lending system. Now you can make money with your rares which I will do in a few weeks so I'm sure all bugs are gone. I wouldn't wanna lose my red partyhat. I rate it 5/5 |

Ghost item doesn't have to be complicated. Lock the item: ![]() And when you withdraw it, its not there but theres still a place holder: ![]() It doesn't necessarily have to be opaque though, could be a padlock on the corner or a different coloured circle like lent items. |
