I was going to post this in another thread attempting to compare wow to runescape. My opinion on the hitpoints update: anybody who compares this update doesnt understand the nature of wow vs runescape hp/lifepoint system. in world of warcraft hitpoints are based on the type of gear you wear and in a very small part the current lvl of your character. in runescape the lifepoints are based completely on your constitution level. gear has zero factors in boosting your lifepoints. im heavily in favor of the changes made today. it will allow jagex to create content with small things inbetween. remember, it wasnt just the lower lvls they wanted to satisfy. more things are planned, more is in the works, give them a chance to create. if you want to compare it to another game, modern warfare and modern warfare 2 are the answers. in mw2 the experience system released was 10 fold compared to the original. in mw2 you scored 100 points per kill instead of 10 points. by making this change, and convincing their audience as well, they were able to create a more rewarding experience system. I believe that jagex is attempting to make the same changes, a more rewarding combat experience, and i for one am expecting great things to come from todays update.
