Antega Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Tonight, at 7:30 PM CST I looked at the P2P worlds - 800 in each one. At around Christmas it would be what, 400 at peak? And they've added more worlds. The sad truth is, more and more people are playing Runescape, and popular training places are becoming cramped. More and more miners are reducing prices on ores, having effects on Rune items also. Jagex cannot go on making new worlds forever, and in my opinion the only way is to add a new land, and increase the number of training places.

FooK-A-Ji Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Why can't they go on adding more worlds? U give no valid reason as to why not.. It functions fine by adding new worlds, and new land is usually added when there are quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 would you rather be playing on a free world and training those worlds have over 1000 ppl on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish_Jr Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I think people won't be happy with the training options until the randomly generated areas come into play later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traver Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Why is it sad that the game is becoming popular? That means more members, which means more money, which means more updates. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Adding more servers isnt going to fix the problem, they need to add the same monsters in different areas. There is so much empty space in this game its insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Droidlives Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Are you joking? Overpopulation? Each server can easily run well on an above 600 mhtz computer with a cable + internet connection at PEAK-2000!!!! people 400? Gimme a break that's like perfect RS conditions...600 even on the free server at about 8 pm at night. If it's not broken then don't fix it...besides there's like a good 25 servers (25x2000-50 000 ppl per one time+ extras)....No way is RS overpopulated, there're plenty of places to train and I see even on the free server that places like Lava maze, Greater demons, Ice giants, Even the HOBGOBLIN MINE are all next to empty. I spend 90% of my fighting training in the wilderness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molishist Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 This just reminds me of the old days... On ONE server, the only server Welcome to Runescape! There are currently 900 people playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncaront Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Than again if you do add more worlds... trade would rise up slowly but surely because people can go to worls that aren't packed like f2p world 1 and than people cana ctually see what your selling so I think adding worlds is a great idea and if you can mix in randomly generated monster areas in this vast sea of nothingness we call runescape that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1acker Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 you just have to adapt with the changes. More people playing isnt a bad thing. Molishist. i dont think there was ever 900 people online when there was just 1 server :P pretty sure on this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golf67 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 i think he's right they need to add a new island or something like open 1 members city so ppl can train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gorilla Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I can train wherever I want in f2p on the Toronto server which normally has 1400+ people on it. Your complaining about P2P which has an ENORMOUS landscape and that theres 800 people on? John Stosells says: "Give me a break!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started ranged it wasn't as popular because everyone have RC Fever. Now Ranged has become an extremely popular skill and all the decent spots are overflowing with people. Luckily, I'm almost done with ranged but thats when they'll decide to add more spots. Just my luck. :roll: At least I have my fire giants in the wild now but I still wouldn't mind some extra land.

BlueLancer Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I say if you're a fighter train in the wilderness. I realized that years ago when I still played runescape when the first signs of overpopulation started popping up. I've never had a problem training in the wilderness (other than getting attacked sometimes, but that's a fun extra) and it's also much faster and rewarding than training outside of it. If you're scared of losing items then just go with 4 items so you can use the protect item prayer (though PK'ers hate 4 item people more than ones with full armor) but I recommend going with all items. During my training from level 55 to 104 in the wilderness I've died a grand total of 1 times and I always wore the best equipment available at each time. Trust me, if you know what you're doing you're better off with good equipment than with 3 or 4 items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3n1 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I agree there is too much empty space. While you cannot add monsters everywhere which would make the game crowded, perhaps they could add more monsters in one area and change the spawn formula. Its rare you get a spot to yourself but maybe some research needs to be done to see where monsters need to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archimage_a Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 The thing is you have got away from the point. The worlds are overpopulated not individual areas. A better idea is to increase the number of people per sever. The number of severs cannot go on forever. Eventually the size of jagex would render each world to a seperate group- like f2p,p2p,premiem(pays to get onto the world), corp(mods and stuff) http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsanity Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I'm sorry, but having 800 people on a server is NOT bad at all. In fact, anything under 1000 players on a single server is great conditions for training, etc...in my opinion. Releasing more servers might be needed in the future, but right now, we're more than fine. So there might be a few people at "your" training spot. Well whoop-dee-doo, time for you to spell the coffee and wake up...this game isn't centered around you. You will not always get what you consider "perfect conditions" and you're going to have to learn to live with it. And besides, adding more worlds won't solve much. All it means is that it gives us one more world to become a crowded training spot. As someone said before me, the only way to "solve" this, would be to realease more monsters in different locations. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AThousandLies Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 At least you can still access the worlds! I remember in early 2002 when all five servers were full. You'd never leave your computer because it'd auto-log you out, and then you'd have difficulty getting back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
