New Server/Realm/World

[Flatlander20]

Alright, I hope some of you agree with me on this one. First, since I know a lot of people have been playing a long time, maybe some of us will remember.

 

I started playing in 04, and I remember the first time I saw a lvl 126. I was like "wow!". It was months until I saw a 126 too. Yet today, go to the GE and count the number of 130+'s. Quite a few. In fact I don't go a single day without seeing a player that is at least 125. On top of that, how many people do you see wearing skill capes everyday? Go to the GE and count on just one world. Probably 3 or 4 people.

 

Back when I started playing a level 70 was considered a fairly high level, dragon longsword was one of the most common weapons, and you didn't lose money if you made mage longs and alched them.

 

So here is my idea.

 

Jagex should make a new "server". When I say a new server I mean that a server where there are no players yet. Everyone that logs onto this server is a level 3, all their stats are 1. This obviously would be an optional switch, and I would think some others like me would play it. So its still just runescape, just a new server thats a complete reset of everyone's stats. It would even give new players a chance to be #1 at something.

 

Right off the start, I can see 1 problem with this idea: The Grand Exchange. People might start to get some money, and try to buy objects that are still extremely rare, example: any godsword. Or perhaps an item that does not exist yet, maybe one a divine spirit shield as an example.

 

My fix to this, Jagex should just make it so if an item doesn't exist yet (as in it hasn't been obtained yet), it won't be an option on the GE.

 

Here is another scenario to run by yourself:

 

What happens when even more people start getting 99s and the game is maxed out. When I say maxed I mean that more and more people are beating it. Getting 99s, beating all the quests, everything. Most skills are already maxed out. Here are some of them:

• Smithing - Goes straight up to 99, completely maxed out.
• Herblore - Overload at 96, not really any room left to expand.
• Crafting - Basically maxed out, onyx amulet at 87. There is some expansion room left.
• Cooking - Summer pie at 95. Basically maxed out, but Jagex can add other genres of food.
• Fishing - Rocktail at 90. Can't go much higher without outrageous heal amounts
• Mining - What are we going to mine past runite?

Obviously there are arguments for and against what I just said.

 

 

So everyone, please comment and add suggestions and perhaps would create a very well written suggestion and submit it to Jagex. I'm confident if enough people give their ideas we might be able to get a very good, and well thought out article that Jagex would definitely consider.

Assuming its an entirely different server with reset stats etc. I really doubt it would share a grand exchange with the current servers.

I didn't mean it as that if thats how you perceived it. The grand exchange scenario I was pointing out was for a completely new grand exchange on the new server.

If there is free trade in the new version, I'm all for it and would move there in a heartbeat.

Dream on. Jagex isn't going to let RWTers come back, face it.

except the reason theres more 138s is that its easier to make money/level skills. I wouldn't be supprised if someone maxed total within a year of the new server opening.

There was a discussion about this on the general discussion page: Runescape Reboot which has a more official suggestion on the RSOF: New Servers for New Characters Only

 

It's a great idea, and a financially sound idea for Jagex to implement. Players start new accounts ALL THE TIME to reach some goal, and here is a brand new way to be the top skiller without competing with guys that have access to extra resources thanks to 9 years of RS characters. Hope it gets implemented.

 

Personally I think such servers (and the economy of it) should be members only. Makes playing RS much more difficult without all the workshop labor making leveling easy if you have the coin.

Sad, but true.

It never left. Now the gold farmers use the buyers accounts and proxies to RWT. THe gold farmer does services such as training stats, getting gold, getting items, etc. They do all of this on proxies which are near the location of the buyer.

 

I would like to see a set of servers which are seperate from the normal servers, have free trade, no GE, no Jagex interference on any part, and have a role-playing aspect. There would be pking back in the wilderness. Everyone starts at the same level.

That is if the player decides to grind train all of the skills. In that case the player would have to make a lot of money ahead of time. I know of a few people who could do it though.
