Increasing the cap wouldn't hurt players in the slightest, I mean its pretty much meaningless thing at the end of the day.

It would however give those bored max xp people some progress, instead of making a billion accounts over and over.

So the people who complain about more xp? why do u care really, it makes no sense that you care if there was more xp. I mean i will never even hit 200m prolly but you people seem to determined to not want people to earn more xp.

Very well said! I have played this account over 16 years now and yet only have one 200m skill. Even if this happened, I wouldn't even try to race to the top again. But at least it would allow the game to keep pace with the current xp rates. The 200m xp cap is from classic... The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

support. why does the xp cap at all? its prolly cuz when they made the game they figured nobody would get that much xp anyways. I couldnt imagine not being able to get any xp that seems sad.

its the java limit 32 bit integer

due to the decimal places in xp the real limit can be 214m. but the extra 14m is nothing if they going to increase it. will have to be a lot more than 14m to make a difference

but yes its 32 bit limit

I always thougth the prestige that was once suggested was a good idea. At the time i had
only a few 99's. I could already see that people getting to 200m would eventually want
more and more.

I still think if people want more.. the prestige system would be best way to go about it. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

This seems like such a non-issue that I can't even imagine investing more than 5 minutes in dev time to change this. What incredibly small fraction of the community does this even affect? And beyond that, what fraction of that fraction actually care enough to want this change in the stead of different QOL updates? Now with added

im apart of that small fraction. and yes i care. however a part of me is like "DO IT" and another part of me of like "please dont, for the love of god please dont"

the "DO IT" side of me is because i have another 400m+ sum xp banked in charms and another 200m+ arch xp banked in damaged artefacts.
it will also properly gauge my slayer xp, which i believe is now over 900m xp. which would be lovely to show (even though that wont go on asap ill be at 200m)
let the race begin for the true #1

the "please dont...."
i finished with skilling now. the cap is 200m and it should stay 200m for the thousands of people that have gotten a 200m for the sake of "securing a rank" if that was to change, people be unhappy.
not to mention getting 200m all was a planned adventure for most people started years ago. for the one purpose of achieving this is to not need to worry xp anymore. and that is a wonderful thing to not worry about. adding another 200m or 300m xp ontop would be seen more as a chore to keep the "i dont need xp" mentality.


ill also add it will not be a simple change for devs to do this. due to the reasons as to why this is the limit. it could be game breaking change. so it is far from a non issue as you put it. it is a huge sit down omg this bomb may go off if i do something wrong...


but yes all in all id say no i dont want it. because i know i will want to go for the cap again and ive already dont that grind. if i knew back in the day that 200m cap would be increased i probably wouldnt have done when i did.
