Why would someone give a rats ass? Because we are saying the game is ended they need to change the max exp to 1b in each skill.

Besides the technical problem of raising the exp cap, they did suggest quite some time ago to introducing prestiging the exp. A vocal minority flailed their heads about and it never got out to a vote, if I remember correctly. It would work the same way as prestiging with 60k slayer kills.

A prestige highscore I wouldn't mind. It would get around the technical problem and satisfy those hungry hungry highscore savvy players.

People still play RS3?

On a serious note though, that's actually ridiculous, even the trimmed comp cape isn't worth much anymore. :( Owner of an

I dont think this idea will work because when new skills come out it will pretty much screw everyone who did prestige their exp. Even if they made it so everyone who prestiged kept their spot on the hiscores as soon as they max the new skill that simply would keep the top 25 people in the top 25 forever and would discourage new people from attempting to go for hiscores.

The J Mod who proposed the idea was later seen at RuneFest discussing tiers of godhood (something like Zamorak<Zaros<Mah). He presumably was the wrong guy to put on the task of a prestige system.

The reason for the backlash was simple: the idea as it was packaged was grievously unfair. Whether you had 13M xp or 200M, you could prestige all the same.

The obvious solution is to just let you prestige once you've hit max xp. I know, I know, 5.4'ers will be able to prestige with one less skill than 5.6'ers in a few months. But I think we can agree that XP is constantly being cheapened in this game, and it's fair to say that someone who got 5.4B XP a year ago worked harder than someone who gets 5.6M xp next year.

There's also the issue of combat. How do I do my Reaper task or farm Telos if I'm prestiged and level 40 combat?

There are a lot of easy fixes to this. My proposal has been to make prestiging the first "yearly." A new toggleable game mode is unlocked when you hit max XP - no matter what that is in any given future date. When toggled, you're in your yearly prestige. You have to just get 99 in every skill (no 120s) but as a "true" hardcore ironman (no banking allowed)... possibly some more challenges along with that. When you toggle off and back on, your progress is saved. You cannot toggle during combat or in the wilderness, of course. If you die, you have to restart. When you get level 99 in all skills, you unlock a chat icon like the VIP badge that is updated each time.

I don't understand the logic of what you're saying here. The prestige system as you're describing it simply uncaps XP by adding a secondary counting number to it. With it being uncapped, how are the top 25 locked in forever? Anyone could pass anyone, given time.
