Kedai Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 here is a more in-depth view of different races but some of you may have complaints like having only one race makes runescape different, or better, but look at all the games that have different races, they are way more popular. then u may think what about the people who already have accounts? well, they will have the option when they log in when jagex releases the feature. now read: now you may think, about the people who already have their accounts, then choose say an elf, but then what about their advantages or disadvantages? well, say having an advantage skill (agility for elves) gives u 1.3x the amout of regular, and a disadvantage skill (mining for elves) gives you only .77x the regular amount. that means when u select to be an elf, your say 1 million mining exp will turn into 770,000 exp, lowering u a few levels, but your 1 million agility exp will become 1,300,000 exp, giving you a few levels. if you dont understand this, then ask me and i'll try again. NOTE: since humans are all-around, you wont gain or lose any exp. also, races are for f2p also!!! yay!!!! i think jagex should SERIOUSLY consider this, although it has been mentioned a thousand times. it could increase their popularity by double!

gadien01 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I did suggest this, but your idea of having the races affect stats doesn't fit into runescape. They got rid of all "jobs" or class numerous times in the game for god knows what reason. If you've done a search then you came across my idea and if you read it then you know that it would work much better with out penalities or add ons. Pehaps you should rethink it espically since most characters are all around. Yes I did read the ending statement still don't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSam19 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 hes, right, all the race would do is make everyone have several accounts, a dwarf for ming, troll for slayer, etc I think it would be great besides, plus funny to see a high halfing fight a lower troll and win... And if the stats thing did work...why wud trolls be good at rc, they are dumb, slow, and not very magical. And trolls would be good at fishing too, look at the random event. Elves are magical, neither would be weak in it. And they would be good at rc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderg_cid Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 There were only two races good at ranging. Alot of them were weak in smithing, so the races shouldn't matter at all except for look. I would choose the dark elf if they did do something like this, but they won't, so I won't choose the dark elf. Live and Learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domovoi Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Not a bad idea, but it doesn't fit into Runescape. What JAGeX has done to the lvling up and xp just wouldn't work with this. Domovoi123-Level 80 f2pNoxious 0ne-Level 46 f2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 It just won't happen. One of the initial selling points of Runescape was that there would be no class/race system as with all the other mainstream boring MMORPGs, so I see no reason why they would implement it now. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 oh man, great idea! Something really funny: a halfling is lvl 52, and a troll lvl 86 fight, and the halfling wins Ahrim has huge thighs?Lego's would be a nice addition to Construction. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot911 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If I have to pick a class that perm messes up my xp i'm quitting rs. I'm paying $5 a month expecting this not to happen... Games where you see this are either more elaborate to begin with, or they are membership by IP/CD key.

Kedai Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 k even if we forget about the exp advantages and disadvantages, i still think it would be cool just for LOOKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpinkus Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If I have to pick a class that perm messes up my xp i'm quitting rs. I'm paying $5 a month expecting this not to happen... Agreed. I never expected to like RS as much as I do, and part of it is because it's clan-less. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
