Why would you WANT to be in the high scores if you were past the ONE MILLIONTH best person?

Once Jagex gets around to raising the Hiscores to 2mill, or even 3mill, problems will be solved. And I think now is the time for Jagex to do this. It's quite ridiculous, 62 woodcutting to be ranked? Most others are 60+, or the F2P ones are. ^^

Personally, I think the requirement to be in the hiscores should be higher than 30. Upping it to around 50-60 might actually make it seem like 'hi'scores.

And people say pures aren't ruining the game :x

1. This ain't Classic; there ain't a cap of 20,000 people online at once and there certainly wasn't anyone taking up that coveted 200,000 spot.

 

 

 

2. Most skills you need to be level 50 in anyway, depending on the popularity. I believe (I can't check right now) that Construction is in the level 34 margin, and I believe that Strength is upwards near 55 or even higher.

 

 

 

3. Jagex will extend it if they feel it's necessary. They've done it before.

Its good for duelers that the high scores are getting crowded i.e. 60 attack becoming unranked.

Well it was originally the top 100k (I think) then 500k and now top 1 million they'll slowly move it up.

They are "highscores"....... they should be hard to get into.

Why should new players be on the hiscores?

 

 

 

Shouldn't it actually be the hiscores? Not the spend-a-few-hours-and-get-30-in-a-skill scores.

They will probably eventually increase it. I beleive the top page of highscores definitly needs expanding.. its been top 21 for years and runescape has more than 10x players now.. I think 30+ would be sufficient although not much people pay attention past top 5 :P

Perhaps unranked skills should appear in the highscores as well just noting they are unranked so it could be used to discover peoples stats even in the case of highscores going higher.

They are "highscores"....... they should be hard to get into.

 

Agreed. I think Jagex should reduce highscores back to 500k again. It's sad that a measly lvl 60 for certain skills get you into the top 100k players. :boohoo:

Isn't that the whole point of HIscores?

I remember when 720 was the minimum to get on Overall, now it's over 870!

 

:(

 

 

 

Currently the only skill that will guarantee you get on the highscores is Runecrafting.

 

And you only need to get to level 30 for that.

 

:-k

I don't think that the highscores will be full anytime soon. But it will be harder for new players to come into them as time goes, but you will probalby not need to have a level 80+ skill to enter them for a long while.

Lets get a reality check. In 2 yrs we are never gonna need a 90+ to get that skill in highscores. yes requirements will go up maybe 5 or levels but not too significantly.

That's why they're called the Highscores, it's supposed to be hard to get ranked in my opinion.

I started playing 3-4 years ago, and at the time there was only a top 500k highscores as most veterans remember. to get into the highscores in overall total lv in top 500k took only around 700 total. Now its top 1m and it takes at least 850 total..

 

 

 

naturally people get better, but itll take a really long time to have significant difference imo.

 

 

 

8.5k+ have 99 range, \

Just something to look at.

I think that highscores should be lowered. Top 100,000 maybe. As it is after all highscores. And if there are 7 million players, then every 7th player is on the highscores.

they are NOT full, some of the skills like Herb or Agility or RC have less than one million players owning the minimum lvl30 needed to access the highscore.

 

 

 

And by the time you can make nature runes (i.e. lvl44), you are the top 300000 players. However, getting lvl44 runecrafting is NOT hard, if one chooses the suitable method.

 

 

 

So, is it full? Not really, I'm afraid. It is not even half-full!

Personally I think they should cut the highscores down to 100k people and just add a feature to the website where you can look up anyone's stats (which also gives you a rank out of all total accounts).

 

 

 

But that aside, I don't think the 1 MILLION slots will fill up with hardcore gamers anytime soon. And like others have said, when the highscores fill up again, Jagex will probably just expand it.

In RSC, having 50 in a skill could make you like #7 on the highscores. Now, you need to be in like the 70's for most skills. Please don't hold my lack of ranked skills against me, but the discussion is this. Eventually, I think people will get better and better at skills and the requirement for newer players to be ranked will go up. Currently, I think the highscores are pretty much fair but in the next several years requirements could go into the 90's. Once people get to the 2 million skill limit others will do the same. Before long, the highscores will be so full of people with full experience in each skill that there will be no way to get new people in.

 

 

 

 

 

Discuss.

 

 

 

If that happens Jagex would just increase the number from 1 million, to 1.5 million or 2.

 

 

 

 

 

i believe rs has 6million members, 2 seems like a decent increase to the broadening of the ranks.

 

 

 

Cut that figure down to around 1 million, and you'll be closer.

 

 

 

Tbh though,with more than 1m people in the fletching highscores,and all those people who have 29- fletching,there must be quite a few more than 1m paying members. Just htink of all the pures around :shock:

RuneScape is expanding and with that expansion highscores are filling up. We can't stop it and new skills will encourage new players to master it and i know eventually loads of people will have 99's but i reckon that the proportion of people with 99's and people without will stay the same.

 

 

 

Just the numbers of players in both sections will increase

i thought this myself not long ago =/
