Idk people like myself who have played for years since we were kids still get the urge to play osrs. Now we are adults with other responsibilities and find we don't have enough time to progress the account to keep it exciting, I think this is a good, happy medium for people like myself and many others. Players who do have time to play will keep playing the main game. Just like leagues, I believe this gonna bring in a lot of new players.
I’d like a pure 2004-2006 server, and a separate 2011 server. I’m tired of osrs tbh. Logging in feels like a chore to have to re-earn my quest cape every few months, the economy is inflated, and overall osrs doesn’t even feel like old RuneScape anymore. It’s a completely different game then when I started in 2013. And I can’t even believe I’m saying that. For everyone saying this will split the community, I’m just saying that I don’t want to be forced to play on one version of the game. I don’t care about my progression anymore, I feel like I beat the game when I achieved the 99s I wanted and finished all quests time and time again. I know plenty of people that are in my shoes
If I were to make a private server I would remove all benefits for maxing (so no skillcapes or perks) rebalance all skills to have way lower requirements and then crank down the xp rates dramatically, opening up room for a new late game. Bring back that old feeling of what it was like when level 50 was the shit and people got 99s because they wanted to not because they felt forced to. That way it becomes less about the destination and more about the journey, just like things used to be. I would also make minigame sets like penance on the level of void, being extremely powerful and worth using at all levels of play, and bring over a few things from RS3 that actually made the game better. Things like type splats, accuracy redesign, the surge ability and a really toned-down EOC special attack system which takes the original combat system and enhances what's there rather than turning the game into world of warcraft like the main game tried. That's right, every weapon is getting a special attack and while most aren't going to be much more than 'do more damage' most of them will have some kind of use-case. Special attack energy also charges much faster to improve the pacing of combat. I'm also fixing run, having 99 agility with 0kg should allow permanent run, flat out. You'll also gain small amounts of experience just from running around the world, though nowhere near as much as doing an agility course. Because agility courses (and *especially* shortcuts) now use up run energy, they'll be the most efficient run energy -> exp method to reward players who want to train it exclusively without requiring it outright for the rest of the playerbase.
I'll just say it people against this update are stupid flat out, this will allow the game to be social again like everyone wants and more options to how to play
I'm working on getting some people irl into the game, they are struggling and low key we might just have more fun on these private server things as they will most likely never make it to any group content stuff in the game. for a reference she has been "playing" off and on for 4 or 5 months and not even wt ready. maybe a couple of hours a week sort of thing.
@@ate_shroom probably not, that's why she is now an "ex." We are still friends but she is like really wanting sex, which, low key, I don't find her attractive, and she can't even really get to wt without me chaperoning her around in game. meh. realistically If you try and get any new person into the game you can't really do anything meaningful with each other. the first real group activity is wintertodt which does take maybe 8 or so hours if following nightleaf efficiency guide to get to.
You can’t always just jam more software developers on a project and make it go faster. There’s such a thing as too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. More devs usually means more projects going at once, not individual projects progressing at a faster rate.
I'm not a huge fan of this project, but they supposedly hired an entire separate team of people to work on this. It's not taking away from sailing or regular game updates
would be very fun to host servers/worlds. to help people boss easier. the one thing my clans struggle with most is being to scared and inexperienced to tackle any boss. i had to guide a few people no joke to do MOLE i dont name call but it was kinda embarrasing to hear people wont even touch the giant mole cuz they to scared. or barrows. perilious. huey. i pretty much suck at pvm as well. but after practice i could beat said bosses. even managed to beat seren and sins of father. but was sad the clan i joined wont do bosses.
Love your content man! If you ever want custom made tracks that you can use in your videos just lmk! Would love to do it free of charge just to be involved w/ a OSRS content creator!
@@ate_shroom Think he means you only have a limited amount of options which makes it pretty much some custom game mode with some boxes you can tick on and off. If you want to change very specific things like new quests and stuff like that probly not possible since it requires custom coding the private server but I might be wrong will see how they implement it I guess
i mean if you look at what sketchy private servers can do whats stopping someone from doing it on the official private servers? people against this update are weird.
people making this argument make 0 sense. theyre going after the players who are already not playing the main game and instead play on the sketchy private servers with predatory shit (200$ to buy max gear type shit)
@@downnice95 it wont lmao. maybe 10% of the player base will play private servers fulltime once theyre legal. AGAIN THIS PROJECT IS AIMED AT THE PEOPLE PLAYING ON SKETCHY PRIVATE SERVERS! someone like me with 2100 total has 0 interest in private servers be it legal or not lol.
They should make a relaunch of the Old school game. All this new content is not for me but they make you go in (clues / quests etc) give me back my OSRS not New school RS
but it does battle those private servers. which before was the only way to play osrs... until jagex asked : do you guys really want this? and i recall over 600.000 people voted YES and like gaben said it best. if u wanna battle piracy sell the product but better. or something close to that. meaning we get private servers. without possible malware virusses etc. and jagex profits.
Could be interesting to for people to learn harder PVM without risk of death costs
NGL all I want is to have dramatically increased EXP rates so the game doesn't feel like a job. I'd like seasons 24/7
custom servers arent gonna bring more people into the game, its gonna take away people from the main servers

What sort of effect this will have on the main servers economy is my question
This is just to get rid of bots and private servers who are profiting
@@du9267 i dont understand how adding private servers will get rid of bots? bots are primarily used as moneymakers
These fake ass servers are a better focus than sailing

you want XP rates to be slower in OSRS?
okay masochist lmao

is this just a private server, or does it allow modders to add custom content?

I wish they'd focus on the main game and getting sailing going rather than private servers that will only be used by content creators

Fuck sailing. And content creators will make fun servers for everyone to enjoy
The servers will be great for practicing pvming and pking idk what you mean
Sailing will be shit.
would be very fun to host servers/worlds. to help people boss easier.

tell them to practice on leagues or the test servers when theyre up.
thats how i did my zuk practice.

No. its not. It should be optional, not a necessity.

@@SupimBryan exactly
I'd probably do a HCIM with slight increases to drop rates, skilling xp, and game speed so it's less grindy but still challenging
i dont like this at all, but it does take away from the private servers that are illegally ran

Say goodbye to group content on the main servers
why
Could help prolong osrs another 10 years, could destroy it.
but it does battle those private servers. which before was the only way to play osrs... until jagex asked : do you guys really want this? and i recall over 600.000 people voted YES
and like gaben said it best. if u wanna battle piracy sell the product but better. or something close to that.
meaning we get private servers. without possible malware virusses etc. and jagex profits.
