Also, I strongly encourage those who consider themselves a loyal player to the game to ask yourselves why you place such high importance on rares. I understand the appeal and that some of you have never attained and would like to, but for others, why is it such a make-or-break notion for you?

This is just my opinion, but I feel that if your sole reason for playing this server or ANY other server, is to gain rares, then you’re playing for the wrong reasons.

Rares are a measure of success.
I’ve always hit 99 smithing then made a fortune and invested in rares.
Just a shame I can’t keep them long enough lol.

Is there an accounts username list? I have an idea of some accounts of mine. Not 100% tho

Success isn’t always measured in finances, though I understand many of you feel this way.

Well once you have many if not all 99s, then yea, finances are next. I don’t pk so KD ratio doesn’t interest me.

I don't like to be that guy. but I am going to be that guy.

Talk is cheap.

Actions speak a lot louder than words, and unfortunately up to this point the words and actions do not match. I like all the ideas you guys have had and I like the vision you guys have moving forward, however I hate to get my hopes and expectations up. I have posted this over and over what this server needs is staff activity to help mods with events. supply items, gear, rares, ect... so they can have events. If you throw events people will come. enough of this we don't want to flood game or ruin the economy.... we need to be trying to make this game worth sticking around and worth joining if your new. No new players will join with the current cost of phats or other items. if staff cant be on to help with these things get some admins there are plenty of good players with a good track history. Blodz, Root, Murda, Fat Tire, and many more could do this.

Please don't be that guy!

I will have to disagree with you. We haven't said we were going to do certain updates/changes and not delivered them. Sure we have taken A LOT longer than we have said we would, multiple times, but still delivered.

I have personally supplied multiple moderators with gold and rares, on a few occasions, and it still didn't do much but show how unappreciative some players really are. I don't put everyone in that category, only a select few. That being said our team will not let that deter us from throwing more events moving forward.

There are some good players which we will be asking to join our team when the time is appropriate. We do not need more administrators but having more moderators to support and entertain our players can be greatly beneficial.

Thanks for your input,

What I am referring to is the easter quest, the the choco bunnies. us skillers were looking forward to that instead I stood around killing npcs and was able to get 1 choco bunny. fell far short of what was discussed. Yes rares and gold were given during the event weekends but when was the last event. they need to have them regular. if not ppl will and are going to somewhere that is already doing that.

I really want the best for this server too, I left a 1700+ skill total account on another server for here.

I just feel like v1 is looking more like a band-aid - plus with set stat accounts, even a separate high score list means it's still basically worthless to push high scores, if you're into that.

On the flip side, I'm not even sure about doing anything on my current accounts other than AFK train for farmers, since we will be getting v1.

I dunno. Again, I want the best for this place, but it seems like communications comes and goes, we hear "we will do better", then... still... waiting.

I am glad Pyru has come on the boards here, and that Nova is in Discord, but like buttdog said with the Easter event, things just seem to keep going astray, despite the replies that things will get better.

Also... sub prices in game are awfully high. Are less being bought?

@Buttdog

What's being done to keep the current players:

- We have announced our plans to "buff" drops. In fact, we did buff our drops, but it still isn't enough.
- We added baby red drags, so you guys could have another NPC to farm easier.
- We dropped rares.
- We have implemented the DM arena, with advanced statistics.
- We have reverted the thieving changes we made which seemed to cause more harm than good. Thieving should be more profitable again.
- We have made the stat panel completely free, which used to be a sub only feature.
- We have implemented higher experience rates.

There is actually quite a bit which we have done to try to retain our current players and keep them happy.

I actually think your statement was selfish, but I do understand your frustrations too. We have tried to come up with a happy medium, which would bring more players, without negatively affecting the "current" game and players at hand. Instead of  being so negative, try to suggest things that will help, not list things you don't agree with.

Even if we were to get someone else to address or relay information, the posts you and some others make, require us to defend ourselves/this server!

@MadButcher

We understand some NPC's "loot" needs to be adjusted, we have already addressed that, and will announce when said changes take affect. The combat formula is actually very similar to that of RuneScape Classics. We have adjusted the formula for PvP so you can get those higher hits more often. You have to also understand, even at 118 strength and the RNG, there is still chances you will hit a low number too (yes, even a 1!).

@Ausx

I honestly don't know what else to say to you or some of the others any more (and this isn't directed at you only). It seems no matter what we say or do, some players tend to get more and more negative. I appreciate every player who enjoys the game, understands the work it takes to running this game, and has stuck by me / the server up until now. If you don't agree with our decisions moving forward, either suggest better ideas that aren't just beneficial to yourselves, or play elsewhere where you're happy (and I don't mean that in a negative way, as we would love you, and others to play here). We are literally just running out of ideas to keeping you and others happy.

Sub prices fluctuate based on supply and demand just like any other item.

I'm kind of getting sick of people saying the Admins / Staff aren't doing their jobs.

They have literally implemented everything you guys have suggested that garners 75% approval. What else do you guys want? It's a slap in the face when I know for a fact the Admins are busting their asses to deliver for you guys. I see it daily on our Skype conversations just how much they DO care. They didn't ruin this. Every single negative player with their head up their ass did. Basically you guys want the easiest route and want it as soon as you get a wild hair up your ass and decide to post a suggestion; almost like any and every suggestion is supposed to implemented 10 minutes from the time you posted it on the forum.

It's disheartening because you people have every amenity available at your finger tips, but it's just not enough.

This

Given that V1 is coming back, it has to be the main carrier server of the database merges if is this to ever work out properly otherwise it will just not fly and fail in the long run. These are the following reasons why this should be the case:

It has the biggest database out of any other previous emu versions and including the current one. Therefore it is only logical that transfers and other database merges are absorbed into it.

It's just that V1 had a very reliable and consistent combat formula out of any pservers (even real Rsc formula was shit) that made pking, staking and farming etc all that much more enjoyable (either Pyru or Kryptix, whoever done the initial formula settings is a fucking genius). A good cb formula serves as a very important main artery to ensure any pserver success and long term server survival which V1 had. What everyone is going through right now playing on this current server is it is so frustrating and shocking that you are always getting hit by lvl 3 chickens when ur 99 def full-rune or not is just extremely plain retarded, hitting a lot of ridiculous low damage integers such as from 1s to 7s is plain retarded too when ur 99 str you should be seeing a lot more of 15-20+ damage integers, and the frequency of landing hits in are so random as well that it is retarded too when ur 99 atk you still dish out a lot of 0s non stop. 

Finally, V1 has a fair NPC droptable with reasonable percentages, many skills providing (unchanged) adequate returns compared to previous emu versions and the current. As well as other useful features and nuances that are a very often overlooked in most pservers and not fixed which otherwise made the game that more enjoyable. Interestingly, V1 has covered many of those potholes than most pservers and various emus that has quite very often failed to address. For example on here, the ship in port sarim does not sail directly to catherby when it is suppose to, especially for those who wants to fish for swordies, sharks etc. Instead you have to first sail to karamja and walk all the way to brimhaven and then to ardy and walk from there......I don't know if that has been fixed ever since but that is not the point. This current server and previous has a lot of more unfixed shit that I won't go into and it lacked a lot of luxuries that V1 enjoyed having.

I hate to break it to you Alucard but the RSCE v1 formula is the same as we are using now 🙂 and have been using since day 1.

We aimed to have the entire game fully replicated, then QoL and other updates added to the server. Our current source is the most stable source you will ever find in RSCPS. That's also the main reason we have worked dead hard on our new core. It was expected that we would se a lot of bugs and crashes when you take on such a project. All these crashes, most bugs are solved.

RSCE v1 did not have much content. I have seen the server source of v1, it's lightweight at best with outrageous poor codes, but that is to be expected as it was things added on top of the RSCD v25 source base (by multiple people).

RSCE (previous sources) was not stable by any means, thats also why they required a restart every single day in order for it to not leak and then crash.

The things you are talking about for example drops, we can implement those drop rates into our server, thats not a problem. We are already using the combat formula, so thats not going to change anything since its the exact same.

The other details you are mentioning is easy to just port over aswell and I do understand that most of you RSCE players like them, so we will correct that.

When it comes to the database merge, there's alot of things we are differencing. Our new source base and database structure is nowhere near the same as RSCE v1, so it's going to take quite a lot of effort in to merging the two properly.
