Runescape Ages

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

Hi,

 

 

 

I'm new to the tip.it forums and i'd thought i'd get your take on something.

 

 

 

There is always an ongoing battle between younger and older players of runescape.

 

 

 

I Just thougt of something that may be a good idea. What if Jagex set 1 world dedicated to younger players and 1 world dedicated to older players.

 

 

 

Similar to how they set worlds for trade, law running or castle wars. This could give people the option of choosing to mingle with people their own age.

 

 

 

There would be no enforcment of the age limit and you will obviously get the odd mouthy noob that just enters the world to wind up older/younger people with their presence.

 

 

 

Also this wouldn't seperate people who want to mingle with all age brackets as all the other worlds would still exist.

 

 

 

This is kind of a reflection on real life, ie. Younger people tend to hang out in parks or youth clubs, adults tend to frequent pubs and nightclubs etc.

 

 

 

Hope this thread doesn't cause any offence, im not looking for a flame war with any younger/older players :ohnoes: i'd just like to get everyones opinion. \

 

 

 

Cheers

It will probably be an issue that older players will jump to these worlds and be "mean" to the younger players, don't ask why but some like that -.-

 

 

 

Also it was a reason with the +13.

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

:o i didnt know that, i always thought it was the younger people that done most of the attacking, but then i've only been playing rs for about 2.5 months LoL

[VjuliusT]

Well it's quite a amount from "both" sides attacking eachother for some lame reason

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just switch off idiots on the filters LoL

[Sy_Accursed]

There isn't a divide between older and younger players to any great extent.

 

 

 

Given that you cant ask personal details anymore its hard to know how old anyone is and therefore it is not a issue.

 

 

 

As for the "old skool" and "new skool" brats who whine about how the other are this that and the other, they are miniority groups who have nothing better to do than find fault with a game.

 

 

 

If you want the real in-game divisons you gotta look at pure accounts, pking accounts and skiller accounts. The pures and pker purpose trained accounts are often held by the worst kinds of players and they make a point of saying everyone else is bad. Skillers aren't often bad,but they get given alot of rubbish by idiotic newer players who think combat level means everything.

How will they tell the person's age?

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

The age itself doesn't matter. It wouldnt be enforced, any age could still get into the worlds, just as anyone can get into the law running world but they don't have to run laws if they dont want to. It would give people a choice, if you want to be in a world with mostly older people, then you could. But there would still be some younger people in there.

 

 

 

It isn't an issue for most people, but as i play runescape with my son and my daughter, sometimes it's easy for people to realise that im over 18 because i have children that can read and write. this often leads to me being publicly slandered as being a pedophile. Sometimes in front of my children. It makes me so angry, i've reported quite a few people. It's surprising how many thoughtless people there are. Apart from the idiots though, i think runescape is awesome, and generally most of the people i meet are sound enough.

 

 

 

I wouldnt always use that world either, the main reason places like rs are so amazing is the diverse range of people that you can chat to while playing. But it would be nice to get away from the slanderous ones now and again.

Pesronally I think a decent skill total would be better as a requirement to enter a "high level player" or "mature" world.

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

That's a really good idea :D

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

What do you think would be a good total skill level to set it at?

[B_Ryan20]

origonal idea but wouldnt the one for higher lv players be filled thus leaving allt he other worlds filled with more noobs, i suggest that we do this for all worlds odd worlds should be for younger players and even would be older that way each world has a nice amount of peopl of the same age. :thumbsup:

[Ts_Stormrage]

Tbh, memebr and non member is already a pretty good seperation... it seperats the dedicated from the non-dedicated!

[Olbritishchap]

i guess it'd be an ok idea, but how do they our ages? i could be 6 for all they know.

 

 

 

(i'm not btw :P)

[vapour]

This would just make younger players easier to target? Right now when you play on RS, does someone just come up to you and say ha you're 8 little noob! No, because they don't know you're age.

[Master_Smither]

Well we're ment to interact with others and stuff like this is a Multi player game like this.

 

 

 

But ask yourself why we need them?

 

 

 

We don't in my opinion because we it doesn't matter what age people are they can still be immature.

 

Also this wouldn't seperate people who want to mingle with all age brackets as all the other worlds would still exist.

Lol youngster worlds would become ghettos! :lol:

Your idea fails for multiple reasons:

 

 

 

1. Your system relies on the trust of the untrustworthy. That, in itself, is a paradox and therefore, doomed to fail.

 

 

 

2. You cannot designate one or two worlds for this to occur.

 

 

 

3. The "odd mouthy noob" would most likely be the "wow 99% of the people here" noob.

 

 

 

4. The distinction is not in younger and older but rather in mature and immature. Like I said above, you cannot trust the immature to be mature.

[PLaCiDSHaDoW]

Yep i've changed my mind and have decided that Umega's idea is way better \

[Dragon_lord]

It wouldn't work, nobody would respect the age-themed worlds. Even if they had a skill level total requirement, whoever said that all mature players are high leveled and all annoying and immature little children were low leveled?

[iwatake]

That would be rather pointless, as there is no way to enforce/encourage that. People don't want to move from the worlds they usually go to just because someone puts an age recommendation on them. and some don't even care.

[War_Junky_91]

Making worlds like that wouldnt change much, its the maturity level not the age that matters.

 

 

 

My gf's parent are over 50 and they act worse than my 13 year old sister, age really doesnt make a difference.
