Not a fan of this being implemented for RuneScape.

I found it to be a quick fix to the depleting community on RS3, instead of working on other content like PVP and minigames to bring more of those types of players back to the game, they are just continuing the PVM focus and adding an illusion that there are still lots of people playing the game.


- For myself, I feel as though it casts a light on the low's that RS3 has approached, this is such an unnecessary addition to the game in a healthy community environment. I do understand why they did it but again, I feel as though they should have spent this time to FIX the game to bring more players back instead of creating illusions.

- It's going to make things very complex, when it shouldn't be when it comes to interactions. Seeing somebody in game used to be a free feeling, hey! instead, now you will have a cross thought of, oh they're just an illusion and not actually on my world, this itself creates a false feeling, and very far from a NATURAL RuneScape adventure.


To conclude, I believe this will drive the community more away from each other. Eventually bringing a less social environment and thus losing even more players. Jagex shouldn't try to stray away from the original RuneScape concept, and for whatever reason they have done this at an alarming rate just this year.


- Please do not try to bring a conclusion that the community isn't getting smaller, it surely is and Jagex's attempt to lure players into making multiple accounts to try and make the #'s look similar to past ones will not last. -

I agree Dilbert, at first thought it is a good idea.

I'm thinking more long term, you know when you're sitting there for hours interacting and such, it really takes a different feel on the player and their experience when instead of dealing with live players they are dealing with *holograms* as you say.

I can only assume if the game wants to be successful, they will eventually want to utilize the trade/dual functions more between players, and this cross-world function would make it difficult/annoying for players to use *just one example*.

And keep in mind it's literally only to interact with players, which should be already happening in a successful environment, so why burden the game to hide the down cline of the game?

At the end of the day you have to sit there and be like, is this BETTER than what RuneScape used to be? or are we just talking ourselves into an easier success manner. I myself feel as though Jagex doesn't really do this *looking at how they use MTX and PVM as a scapegoat to ignore their other content for more Profit $* but it is what they should do, and I do not believe cross-world would make a BETTER RuneScape.

Yes you can think about the people who log on at bad hours, and I understand even during high time hours it's pretty lonely but again, if the games successful it would be pretty annoying on even a medium populated world.

They are more like visual chat rooms. Not many are going to sit there for hours.

We already have cross world interaction game content like Deathmatch, Sinkholes etc anyway.

If they want to duel or trade, with this new feature, they can easily make an arrange to go to whatever world just like the RSC time.

Remember, this is a game jam project. It is supposed to be a small one that a Jmod can do it in their free time. This Cross World Communication initiative is a very good one already. If Jagex want to further improve it with the team efforts, they can build on it later.

That's not true at all, they said they wanted to combine worlds so when you're doing whatever you're doing you wouldn't be alone. It's said literally in the first statement.

So yes, people would sit there for hours, and yes genuinely if people are bored, they would use something that is supposed to make them *unbored* supplied by Jagex. This just leads back to my point of the topic that this would have a NEGATIVE impact on the RuneScape community, just to cover up the down cline of players.

PLAYERS WILL USE WHAT JAGEX SUPPLYS, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT GOOD BUT IT'S WHAT IS IN THE GAME.

This is a perfect example of something Jagex may try to do, to try to prolong a situation that is not doing well, eventually people who at first right away, don't enjoy it and then leave the game entirely, and then people over a short time who do not like it, leave and then people over a medium/long time who don't like it leave. Then you have the small number of players who like it or don't mind it stay.

And keep in mind this would only lower the # of players on original worlds, making them less populated in a game that is already being torn apart from Irons/FSW and now maybe this.

Concept: Player avatars are beamed across the abyss and replicated on separate worlds. What you do on one world can be seen on another!


We will still be doing everything we normally do in worlds we normally log in, only that our AVATAR wil be replicated on separate worlds.

What the other people see are our holograms doing whatever the real players are doing. Nothing will be changed in the way we are playing.

Great your flamming once again, please make a point and move on instead of trying to leave a post with literally no meaning what so ever.

To help you out, again. I corrected you then you corrected yourself after I corrected you, but you did it as an insult to mimic my post of correcting you, in different wording.


Stop posting on my thread please, unless you have a positive reply towards the thread topic, instead of trying to contradict someone's post in a flaming matter.

It is extremely clear this Game Jam initiative is to improve the communication among players who are separated from different worlds, while everybody can be doing the same thing they intend to do in their own preferred worlds.

All of us can think of it like uploading our own reality shows and the others can see them. We don't have to stop doing whatever we are doing in our worlds and all go to GE or Varrock of specific worlds and spam for hours to trade stuff or LFG. This is a very good idea.

My post from another thread.

Jagex is misunderstanding the point of Xserver chat. The point is to be able to talk to anybody anywhere without having to be standing right next to them. Rather than doing this, give us a standard global chat and an Xserver chat you can function with without actually seeing people. It's just going to get confusing like this. We need to move away from the absolute need to be standing in a populated place to talk to people. Gather in populated places to do things, sure. But at least allow us to talk to anybody, anywhere without being right next to them already.

We need to be able to find players to interact with from wherever we are. To get likeminded people together to do things like minigames or pvp or even bossing, without having to stand 24/7 in somewhat populated spot, or hop between different Friend Chats. This is not the answer to that problem. Leader of The Enemy ||
