Me and a few other random people had a party in Evil Bob's prison.... Dancing, you know.......

dude your so wrong. ur giving people false info. ive been with many other people at mime, bob the cat, etc.

Molly, pinball, and leo are the only three where other people cannot do it with you. And all three of them have more than one arena, with the possible exception of pinball...but i'm pretty sure it does.

Heres proof that you can have tons of people in 1 random.

 

 

 

something most people might not notice at first, or take into account is that you are always alone while doing a random, there is never anyone doing the same random as you at the same time on the same server.

 

 

yes there is

gah, who pulled this thread from the dead?

 

 

 

(It was started 20 months ago)

I actually I think that more people in one place causes more randoms. Those moronic PC riots and several tip.it events were swarmed with randoms. So was one clan thing i did back in the day...

 

 

 

It is definately NOT true that only one person can get a random at once. I wear my full camo a lot, and every time I get the drill demon I keep clicking to talk to him so it looks like I'm following him around in circles. I like to think that i give the people working out something to look forward.

this is not true many times on worlds 2 and 6 i have met up to 5 other people doing the same random event, which were evil bob island, drill sergeant, prison pete (the ones i can remeber at the moment).

man this thread is pointless...obviously the statement made by the author in the first post is fatally flawed and tons of ppl have agreed...okie so lets get on with life...we all know its wrong already. no need to post anymore, theres more than enough evidence.

I have seen multiple people at the maze, mime and drill demon.

I think we have enough proof that multiple people can be participating at the same random event and the point has been driven home. :wall:

 

 

 

Here's my opinion about the main point of this thread though. There are two ways to look at this and truly we can only speculate as to which Jagex has decided to implement.

 

 

 

The first way to view it is, since multiple players can be partaking in the "enjoyment" of a random event at the same time, that the number of players on a given server is not a variable in the calculations that affect whether or not you get a random event. Everyone can either be in Falador spamming their sales pitches, or everyone can be at the mime looking like fools. It doesn't affect the server load at all. Therefore for those in this camp, the random events are "attached" to the player and not the "population". If you are in a casino, then you are playing the slot machines. You could have 2 other players in the room, or 100, but those players do not affect your chances on that machine at all.

 

 

 

The second way to view things is to (logically so at first) believe that since there are less people online in that world, the chances of a "global" random event happening to you increases. This is more like walking into a party where they are giving out door prizes. The less people who attend means the larger of a chance you have to win something.

 

 

 

Personally, I think it's more attached to the player and that the amount of people on the server makes no difference. The main factors that affect if you get a random is how long you have been in one place doing one activity. When you are in combat for 45 minutes straight then you go to high alch a drop, I can almost guarantee you that no matter how many people are online, you will get a random.

 

 

 

My views at least... :P

I have been at the Odd One Out random and had someone there with me.

This method no longer works. In the past, it may have, but now, there can be numerous people in one random at a time. Because of this, this thread no longer holds a discussion except people saying it's wrong...
