As you know highscores are getting a little crouded

 

150k people with 99 strength 100k with 99 cooking etc

 

i think the highscores should be split up into different catagories, such as:

 

all time highscores: this the highscores that are currently used every player that has played and that is in the highscores will be here

 

past 12 months highscores: all players that have logged into runescape game will be in this highscores. (this means that accounts that have not played in last 12 months will not be in the highscores, making the highscores for that past year alot more narrowed down to what your real rank is for people playing the year)

 

past 6 months: same as 12 but for 6 months not 12

 

maybe past 3: same as 12 and 6 but 3 obviously

 

maybe people online: this will show where you and other people that are currently online playing

 

this will get rid of alot of accounts that are no longer in use and show your real rank for the people playing so insted of lets say your you get 99 strength you be ranked 140k (or whatever it is when you get) in all time all scores but alot of people have quit since past year so it will go down and show more of a accurate rank for the people playing

 

so yeah thoughts?

 

Quick find code: 185-186-604-61371982

I do not support at all

 

I don't understand what you mean by "real rank" and "accurate rank"?

I do not support at all

do you want to give a reason why?

 

your not losing the highscores you have at the moment

 

and your finding out where you are in the world with players that are still playing

I don't see why I should be ranked higher than someone who has 30M slayer experience just because they haven't played in the past 12 months. My "true" rank is my rank on the all-time high scores.

 

I don't like the idea. I would, however, like an option to sort the high scores in terms of experience rather than total levels.

you wont there will always be "all time" highscores

The highscores certainly aren't crowded. Very few people have actually get 200M experience, and nobody's anywhere near achieving it in all skills.

I like this idea, but not for the reason OP likes it. I like it because it would give us a better idea of how many people actually play runescape. This would help a lot for possibly (?) estimating the volume of runescape's economy.

finaly someone agreeing with me haha

 

i hope more people do lol

high scores are for losers tbh

 

you should value how much fun you've had, not how much more experience you grind than all the other sad hsmonkeys

well im a highscore monkey

 

i play for fun and seeing my ranks makes me happier

There are over 150k people with a strength cape as of today ;)

oh my well thats more than i thought haha

 

i remember the day 100k people got it :o

I like this idea for the same reason the OP likes it. We don't lose anything at all, and it would be cool to see whose really good NOW, not who was good first. :)

I like this. If this happened, maybe FINALLY my medium-ish levels would be on the highscores, allowing me to have a stat sig!

support.

 

it also allows a broader range of people on the highscores.

glad some people like it now that the haters have gone haha

Idk, it seems like you're implying that just because someone hasn't played in a few months, their achievement is worth less. Plus, you'd always have those people who will log in once every 3 months just to stay on all the highscores.

 

Besides, how do you know that a lot of people who hold highscores are inactive? For all you know, adding this feature may just make everyone rise 500 or so ranks. In other words, it might be completely insignificant.

 

Btw, you wrote "12 years highscores" instead of "12 months highscores".

you always stay the same rank with the original highscores that we have now will be still there. there will just be a few extra well highscores.

 

and im sure jagex has some sort of thing to tell how long someone hasnt logged in for, as there is that bit where you log in it says "you last logged in ..... days ago" 90 days ago means you wont be on 3 month one

 

like i said you wont be gaining ranks you will just see the rank you currently in the players that have recently played the all time highscores (one in use now) will be the real rank of well all time

 

its just to see where you are in highscores for the players that active and running

 

and yes there are those players that will log in for the sake of being in 3 month highscores but there will be the ones that dont

Jagex knows, sure, but how do YOU know? For all we know, there might only be a handful of top-tier players who are labeled as "inactive".

 

Also, by looking at highscores of recent players, it's like saying, "ok, besides those who have achieved a lot a while ago as opposed to know, how good am I?" I just feel that by excluding anyone from the highscores, you're underplaying the achievement, even if you do provide a universal highscores.

Well I can't pretend I understood that 100%, but that's bad logic you're using.

 

If you're just going to throw out random ideas simply because they're "cool" or "good to have", then why not just throw every single brainchild into this forum? Just because you aren't directly going to develop it, doesn't mean you can completely ignore any obstacles or issue the idea has.

 

Yes, let's all suggest spaceships for Runescape. It's cool to have, but I'm not going to say anything else because I'm not going to be the one who is designing it, so I'm just going to tell them what to do, then let them do all the work. Or maybe we should add a new skill. It would be cool to have an everyone wants it. I'm not going to say anything else though, because Jagex is the tech who's making it, I'm just the idea who can order them around.

 

You realize many people complain about the specifications of an update, stuff like where a certain item is effective, its stats, etc. Many of those ideas have been previously suggested by players. Now, if those players took the time to think it through, wouldn't the implemented idea be more enjoyable?

 

Let's say they do add this update, and between the universal highscores and the "active for the past 1 year" highscores, you only rise 50-100 places? Well, wasn't that a huge waste of time? What was the point of doing all of that? There are problems like these that you HAVE to think through, and you CANNOT ignore.

 

It is extremely arrogant of you to say that "jagex is making this update, so I will have no part in thinking through it, I'm just going to put the name on the table". Yes, maybe you're a paying member. So what? You can't just go up to the government, demand equal rights for all citizens, let them work it out themselves, and then sit at home watching TV and waiting for them to get the right.

 

Even if you aren't going to be directly designing the inner workings of the update, that does NOT mean you can ignore any problems with it. Why discuss it at all? If that was the case, this entire forum would just be people saying "yes" to ideas instead of trying to improve them and work out problems.

Edit: Ignored the second page.

 

I agree with Zapps, there's really no reason for these new highscores. Highscores are highscores for a reason - it's not whoever is best at that moment, but the people who are the best over everyone, no matter when they achieved their levels and experience.

True, support.

high scores are for losers tbh

 

you should value how much fun you've had, not how much more experience you grind than all the other sad hsmonkeys

 

:thumbup:

I don't really see how when you got your experience has anything to do with it. I also wouldn't want to Jagex to spend their time on this while they could be doing other things that are more meaningful for the community. It also seems rather egotistical to dismiss people who haven't played in awhile so that you can see a higher score for yourself. Especially because in many ways it has been harder to get experience in the past.
