A runescape that I would like to see.

A Runescape that I would like to see.

 

 

 

What it would be:

 

 

 

A separate version for those that want to do their own work and earn their levels.

 

 

 

Use the old Runescape web page with links back and forth to this version. Old page meaning the one that was there before this current one. A game client for this version with a refresh option added to it. Separate forums and high scores pages. Add a stat tracker to the high scores that displays the top 500 gainers in total and each of the individual skill categories. Players would be given the option to move their character to this version, however all scores will be wiped out and reset to level 1. All items will be lost as well. You start over at the tutorial. Membership days could be transferred to the new version account. Probably not able to have free worlds on this version as they simply are not big enough for this type of play.

 

 

 

 

 

Rules:

 

 

 

Same as they are now with the following exceptions:

 

 

 

1. You get one and only one account. Proof required that there would be more than one player for more than one account in the same household that uses the same computer or same IP. Which means no multiple log-ins from the same computer. So no playing from public computers like schools, libraries, etc. No playing on your friends computer if they have an account. You will be required to register with a valid e-mail address. You will need to respond to an e-mail to verify that the account is valid.

 

 

 

2. No hot keys allowed.

 

 

 

3. No clans.

 

 

 

 

 

In game changes:

 

 

 

1. No trading between players at all. No exceptions. Remove the G.E. Items can either be alched or sold to NPC shops. All prices in the NPC shops are set and do not change regardless of how many items that are sold to them. Anything sold to a NPC shop is removed from the game and not available for another player to purchase. Dropped items appear only to the player that dropped them for a short time and then are removed from the game.

 

 

 

2. Add options to supply kingdoms with goods/items in exchange for gp. Kingdoms present list of what they want, player makes it and sells to them. Ex: Kingdom asks for 100 full sets of iron armor.

 

 

 

3. All team based mini-games would be removed from the game. Put extra resources in the areas that the mini-games take up. Trees, mines, etc. Change the TzHaar fight pits to a competition between a player and the various TzHaar warriors based on combat levels. No teaming up, they fight each other as well.

 

 

 

4. Add more resources for gathering, seaweed, swamp toads, snape grass, ets. Either new spots or more in the current spots.

 

 

 

5. Remove item lending and assisting.

 

 

 

6. Up the level requirements for wearing armors and wielding weapons.

 

Level 1 Bronze

 

Level 10 Iron

 

Level 25 Steel

 

Level 30 Black

 

Level 40 Mithril

 

Level 55 Adamantite

 

Level 70 Rune

 

Level 85 Dragon/Barrows

 

 

 

Similar raises for range armor and weapons and mage robes. Prostelyte and other various armors added in where they would fit with the new requirements.

 

 

 

7. Pickaxes and woodcutting axes/hatchets would be considered tools and not be allowed to be used for combat. That way they could still be wielded with the required mining or woodcutting levels. Just add a special Vine Axe for the Jade Vine quest and mini-game.

 

 

 

8. NPCs would need to be made to complete Shield of Arrav and Heroes Quests with. Shades of Mort'ton quest reworked to where the temple does not degrade while building it, but you still have to fight off a few shades. You only need to repair it over time to use it. If neglected for 3 months you would have to rebuild it entirely.

 

 

 

9. No multi-player-combat. The only multi-combat allowed wil be a player and their familiar against their opponent/opponents. 2 players can not attack the same NPC/monster, but multiple monsters may attack the same player. So the Corporeal Beast will need to have a way, not an easy way, to beat it. The Big Dagannoths would need to be accessible for one player as well. Perhaps fight them in succession.

 

 

 

10. Double, or at least add a couple of hundred spots to the bank space. This is very important for doing all your own work.

 

 

 

11. Remove the Diversions and Distractions meteors and evil trees. As well as the spy on penguin mini-game. If not remove them then at least rework them so they are not an easy way to get levels.

 

 

 

12. The only PvP will be in scheduled tournaments within the Duel Arena. There would need to be a minimum requirement for participants, but no maximum. All prizes for the winners will be set randomly. Ex: Prize for a low level tournament might be a steel platebody for the winner. Something that might be useful for that level range or at least be useful soon for that level range . The tourneys should have a 5 level range set to them. There would be a list on the entrance of the duel arena with that days tournaments listed. Updated at midnight Jagex time. The list would have the tournament levels and prizes and would vary from world to world. If a tournamnet has a lot of people in it then use a timer similar to the familiar timer to notify the person that their fight is coming up soon. They have one minute to click the I am ready message or they forfeit the fight.

 

 

 

13. Increase the amount of revenants in the wilderness. Make it rough, not too rough, but rougher than it is now.

 

 

 

14. Split mining into 2 categories, Ore mining and Ess mining. Leave the ore mining xp as it is. Change ess mining to something along the lines of the way granite mines. Meaning when you mine ess you get it in chunks of various sizes. Then you use a chisel on it to craft the actual ess used in runecrafting. Various size chunks yeilding various amounts of runecraftable ess. You would get a small amount of runecrafting xp per runecraftable ess made. Maybe 1 point. The higher your ess mining level is the more chance that you will get the bigger chunks. Put the old mining movement and accompanying sounds back.

 

 

 

15. Rework the Smithing scoring. 1.5 to 2 times the current experience. This will be needed to make your own armor.

 

 

 

16. Rework Construction. Make it so the player actually builds the room addition after buying the permit to do so. Add a room for pets, a Kennel or zoo? Add a masonry sub-category which requiers levels and training from the dwarves. It would add marble and granite as resources for construction instead of just buying them. Make mortar, etc. Up the xp per item made and the resource amounts to make it. Ex: It would take 20 cut limestone bricks and 5 buckets of mortar, with a trowel in your inventory, to make a fireplace, but the xp would go up accordingly as well. It would take many loads to build the walls and roof of a room, but the xp would be worth it. Any changes of the appearance of the outside of the house would require building a facade, or removing the old facing and replacing. You could also add a way to make red bricks, they were around in medieval times.

 

 

 

17. Either no blessing gravestones or just remove them entirely. If remove them then the player that died loses all but the 3 most expensive items, unless the appropriate prayer to protect one more is used. The lost items would not appear to anyone else and would disappear for that player in 2 minutes. If leaving them then 2 minutes or the gravestones and the items disappear from the game. Use the built in protection for combat. If a disconnect occurs the timer on the items/gravestones stops after 1 minute has elapsed. Or it would not start until the player logs back in if the disconnect occurred in battle and the player died.

 

 

 

18. Add an option to the tools menu in the interface to set whether or not you want the automatic or manual game play. Ex: You may want to check automatic for herblore and the game will do what it does now. You may also want to check manual for fletching when you are making arrows then check automatic when making bows.

 

 

 

19. Interface changes. Combine friends and ignore lists into one tab. Combine the quests and achievement diaries into one tab. Put the summoning tab back. Remove the notepad entirely.

 

 

 

20. Remove the in game music and area sounds entirely. If someone wants to listen to music while playing then they can supply their own. Both of those are a waste of bandwidth.

1. No trading between players at all. No exceptions. Remove the G.E. Items can either be alched or sold to NPC shops. All prices in the NPC shops are set and do not change regardless of how many items that are sold to them. Anything sold to a NPC shop is removed from the game and not available for another player to purchase. Dropped items appear only to the player that dropped them for a short time and then are removed from the game.

 

 

 

What are you supposed to do with the money then?

 

 

 

Anyway i dont think this is gonna happen, What you are talking about is making a whole new runescape... -.-

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

The point of most people's enjoyment is not mindlessly grinding levels or keeping to themselves - it's opening up to other people, through any means necessary. This kind of RS doesn't sound very enjoyable. :?

[kingbrooks]

To be honest I think most of these ideas are terrible :?

 

 

 

I mean, removing clans is removing a lot of fun from the game, and as said before: many people would not like to get all 85's before they can even consider MH'ing. (If you're giving dragon 85, then that would naturally mean barrows is 95 although not what you said. And bandos would be 99... And Vestas would be 105?? Your system fails.

 

 

 

Secondly, what have you got against hotkeys! :lol: F7 is RuneScape's peril :ohnoes: :ohnoes:

The money would be used for construction, summoning, buying a tool that you can not make yet, buying vials, even buying armor that you may not be able to make just yet from the NPC shops, etc.

And I agree with this, I think the only people that MIGHT even consider playing are the front page of hiscores :lol:

The current version of runescape would still exist for those not interested in the version that I suggest. Not meant to replace the game, just set up a version for those that like to do their own work.

[Zantareous]

Without the social aspect you leave the game very undesirable.

[Racheya]

This topic is better suited to the Bugs and Suggestions forum so I'm moving it there :)

 

 

 

viewforum.php?f=37

[r4ngewarlord]

that would be like hardcore runescape.

 

only for the most dedicated runescape players.

You don't seem to get it. The main point of having this version is to get away from the people that want a social center instead of a game. So that those that do just want to play the game can without the constant chatter or interference from others.

[quelmotz]

Its a unnecessary idea and a waste of Jagex's time.

 

 

 

You can do all/most of those changes in the normal RuneScape, just that you CAN trade/etc, but you are not FORCED to trade/etc. So honestly, there's no point in wasting Jagex's time.

Yes you can do a lot of what I posted in the current version, that is true. But the current version sucks. It is way too easy. It also gives too much of an unfair advantage to teams and clans.

 

 

 

This is a version for the single player that wants to look at the high scores and see how they are honestly doing against others that actually earn their levels as well. Instead of doing their own work and losing places every day because thousands of people just buy their levels. They buy their levels because making money in the game is too easy especially for those in a clan or that team up with others.

 

 

 

Jagex wastes their own time on ignorant garbage like the in game music, or the constant pointless and usually moronic changing of the interface.

 

 

 

Personally I don't really care if they come out with this version or not. I am just pointing out that it is what I would like to play. This crap that they have now is ridiculous. I used to play for over 70 hours a week. The last two weeks I have played for a total of about 15 hours and that just because I really didn't have anything else to do.

 

 

 

I actually wish that I had not just recently payed for 3 more months.

[Salvette]

Apart from 20, I'm in total agreement. I've met a total of one player who's worth talking to in RS; as a multiplayer game, it's just not worth all the disadvantages. I'd certainly play this.

[epicnuts]

You say you have nothing to do and you want to remove all the fun things, and why make the game less realistic than it is yet? can't use axes as a weapen? LOL!

 

And if you make a lame suggestion, don't say you want to put back the old mining sounds while you want all sounds to be removed -.-

 

Oh, and I guess that if you had to start all over again in your 'better version of runescape' you would beg for trading to come back. :wall:

[Returnofmic]

I dislike this idea a lot.

 

 

 

I believe that being social in this game is what makes it so enjoyable. Sure, sometimes you're better off just trying to play the game, but for most parts, most people (including myself) want to play the game with other people, to make it easier, and for the joy of being social. I can't really say I agree with the other ideas either...

 

 

 

Uh, can't really express what I'm trying to say, but I think you get the point.

[Zaaps1]

Why not just make a 1 Player version of RS then? :|

[Seraphi]

No. your soloscape idea sucks.

 

Being social is part of an MMORPG, remove the socialising, you might as well have some generic console based game.

 

 

 

Not a good idea at all.

 

 

 

EDIT: I just read your other posts.

 

You say runescape is too easy and other people have an advantage?

 

YOU HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE AS WELL, ITS UP TO YOU IF YOU USE IT OR NOT.

[Sir_Kurity]

I can imagine trying to get a DFS.

 

 

 

If you can't trade for it, you will have to camp for like 5 years at dragons.

Imo, that is just sad. What the hell are you doing with your life if all you do is play Runescape? Hopefully this 'small' 15 hour week has shown you that there is more to life than Runescape. Runescape is a game, not a life goal to get all 99's.

 

 

 

Wastes time on music? Well I am soooooo very sorry that some people might actually like it...

 

BTW, I am still struggling to see the crap?

 

 

 

I am betting you that if this was a forced game change, over 4/5 of the community would quit.

[Jeda45]

Runescape is a MMORPG.

 

 

 

Emphasis on the second "M".

 

 

 

 

 

My opinion, which I will sum up: Why the Frae... how the heck is it spelled... You know, where Zamorak comes from?... would Jagex spend time on this?

 

 

 

1 note that is mostly unrelated to the idea as a whole: Area sounds add a new dimension into the game. While we're taking them out, why not take out other "wastes of bandwidth" like the graphics?

[essiw]

I would definly make a account on it :D (see my siggy)

[nerdboyxxx]

Essentially you are saying there is no economy for weapons and stuff. And making a whole new runescape just doesn't sound right :?

[jimv]

You say you have nothing to do and you want to remove all the fun things, and why make the game less realistic than it is yet? can't use axes as a weapen? LOL!

Why do idiots constantly talk about realism in a game that has magic and monsters in it?

 

 

 

I never said I wanted all sounds removed, I referred to removing the music and the area sounds. The mining sounds fall under the effects category. See if you click on the little crossed tolls icon in the main interface and click the option that looks like a speaker a box will pop-up with three categories in it. Music, area sounds and sound effects not in that order necessarily but they are there.

 

 

 

You guess wrong.

[jimv]

Why not just make a 1 Player version of RS then? :|

 

 

 

Because a 1 player version would be too easy for people to use bots. The aspect of having players being able to see each other is very much needed for reporting and helping to ged rid of the bots.
