I can see the current hiscores turning into 'lifetime hiscores' instead of 'old hiscores' but there probably won't be more changes to the system.

As for you quitting, assuming you actually do quit and don't go like let's give this a try like most players will say on release, or rage for 2 months then come back, that is sad but you just happen to be one person.

One person quitting every so many that aren't doesn't make a difference. If just one of all those players who aren't going to quit now, but are going to quit eventually, stays around for one more month because of prestige, the update is a success. Hi

I'm thinking with this prestige thing, gonna go 'fuck it' for the time being, and go for my 99's/120 etc as planned, get my comp cape, true comp cape (provided they don't make it a req) and then maaaybe go for 200m in all skills that way. And only THEN would I want to prestige, if the interest is still there and the game is still around.

Still not keen on the idea and how it's affected peeps and my friends on here, because that shit indirectly affects me and I don't like it. Friends down = bummed out Akhet.

Too much drama over it. Should have gone for adding rideable golden dragons.

This looks promising:
Original message details are unavailable.
1) The question of whether or not Runescape now has a finite goal which can be completed. Some players feel strongly that it needs to have one.

2) The question of whether vets (i.e. anyone with >13M) should have that accomplishment taken into account in the new prestige system somehow.

3) The question of whether either the "new" or "old" high scores should be presented as the default, and if so, which one should be?

4) Concern that even with the new prestige system, it won't be any more accessible to new players, as the same seriously hardcore players will quickly develop an insurmountable advantage.

5) The question of whether there are alternate systems (such as skills to 120, or prestiging from 200M) which would work better.

6) The question of whether this is good use of development time which could conceivably be spent on other updates.

7) Concern about mechanics which could possibly be abused or exploited due to resetting skills but retaining access to high level abilities or options.

Too bad story will repeat itself and nothing will be done.
