Solomon's General Store
Discuss51on this wiki

Solomon's General Store is a microtransaction-based store that shares the Squeal of Fortune in-game tab. It was released on 17 July 2012. It sells items, emotes and allows you to change between settings of clothes you can find in Thessalia's Fine Clothes and any other clothes from the Loyalty Shop etc. It also offers different animations for Woodcutting, High-Level Alchemy, Teleports, Mining, Herblore, and Slayer. The currency used in this store is Runecoins, which can be purchased using real world currencies. 200 Runecoins are given for free (only one-time for life per Runescape account) when asked for, which means a small number of emotes, titles, or accessories may be bought "for free."
Members get a 10% discount in the store.

| Bank booster +50 | 420 | 378 |
Five identical bank boosters (Bank Booster 1 to Bank Booster 5) are available, allowing up to 250 extra bank spaces available.
Controversy
The store itself caused a great deal of controversy at launch, as the items are only obtained using real world money. Many players voiced concerns over further microtransactions, however, many others were pleased knowing that this store was purely cosmetic, unlike the Squeal of Fortune.
However, on 28 August 2012, a new wave of controversy was sparked with the release of Bank Boosters, which allowed players to add 50 more slots to their bank, up to 250 extra bank spaces. Some players saw this as a blatant disregard of Jagex's previous stance on real-world trading, allowing the purchase of what they believe to be an in-game advantage with real-world funds.
Jagex has responded by pointing out that the Bank Boosters will also be available for purchase with Loyalty Points, and that it gives an opportunity to non-members to grow their bank while still allowing members for "free" extra bank space. They have also been noted as saying that they do not consider the extra bank space an in-game advantage under their stance on microtransactions and real-world trading.
Trivia
- At the time of its release, there was a glitch where you could make a weapon or armour look like another with the customisation feature, this was patched with a hidden update a little while after.
- There is currently a glitch when a male player uses the Zen resting emote with a skirt on, it causes him to do a female-only resting position, and makes him unable to use another resting position with that skirt on.
- There is another glitch with Zen Resting that some capes won't be shown when doing the emote.
