I got a theory but I need more data. It seems to me that every player with a space in their name has a broken link to their Runemetrics profile. (from the forum)

It says player cannot be found. Error no profile. Etc.

Is this already known? I guess it has been a long time now. The difference now is I am not getting logged into Runemetrics so I am also getting an error for my own profile.

I conducted a test of your theory, and it mostly holds up.

I checked the profiles of every thread author on the first page of the G&A subforum. I observed every profile with no spaces in the player's name had a functioning RuneMetrics profile, while every profile with one or more spaces in the player's name did not - with only two exceptions.

I did find one player with a singular name whose RuneMetrics profile was not available. I also found a profile with a space whose RuneMetrics profile I could view - mine.

Maybe it's just because I was looking at my own profile, and nobody else would have the same ability to see my RuneMetrics profile. I don't know why the other player's RuneMetrics profile did not work. I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^

Secondly why does skilling stop xp at 200m? xp gain still exists after 200m see wise perk or harmony moss as an example. Kind of like toggling your post 99 skills could there be an option to toggle past 200m xp gained? I also ask this because it's only getting easier to gain xp than it was back in rs2. Especially with the 4 or 5 dxp events and amazon boosts and xp modifiers etc.

java limit is 2.1b the xp has a decimal so the limit for xp is 200m.

raising it would be bad idea to do now
If 200M XP per skill is not enough for you, then you play too damn much RuneScape.

Try going outside. It's not as scary as you might think. I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^

runescape has been out for 20 years, time it takes to 200m now is very little. especially with dxpw happening all the time


the concept that having 200m = no life. is old and outdated.

but im happy with 200m being the limit.

Thanks for checking Kat. It must be a bug. I was getting paranoid because I didn't receive the last newsletter and then my Runemetrics was going to error.

A couple days after that my client was giving a network error, even though the game and login servers were still up. That was a strange error that only affected a small number of players.

It seems like there is always something happening 'under the hood.' Every day I am worried when I try logging into the game.

It's an endless string of impending disasters, which once again includes 'dangerously flashing screen.' I don't think they ever acknowledge problems like that, and I don't blame them. I wouldn't want anything to do with it either.

It is true there have been quite a few additions to RS in recent years (BXP, Runespan, Daily Challenges, 10-day DXP events, and so on...) which make accumulation of XP faster and easier than when I started in 2004. These days, some "players" simply buy their way to maxed status via MTX. More like no effort than no lifing.

Even so, Kat's point does have merit. 200M XP in all 28 skills adds up to 5.6 BILLION XP. That's still a lot, no matter how you want to justify it. Rightly or wrongly, having 5.6 BILLION XP in RuneScape does not exactly scream, "I have an active social life!" :P

runespan is outdated on its own, that sure was the first step for rc to be fast skill, but souls / bloods are 4x faster now.

even so a lot of skills are way over 1m xp ph. and have been for years, even playing couple hour a day and being social for the rest of it, can achieve 5.6. the time it takes to get 200m all now isnt that long and hasnt been for many years. hell there is someone with untrim arch cape thats 5.6 all. they started there account in 2020. sure that person definitely played more than 2 hours a day on avg. but the people that have been playing 20 or 15 years. really dont need to have been no lifing it all to achieve 5.6.

thats all my point is.

I remember how much I used to loathe Runecrafting. Running essence to an altar, running back to bank the runes and grab more essence, repeat ad nauseam. RC was always one of my lowest F2P skills. Then Runespan arrived. The first three days, I earned more Runecrafting XP than I had the previous three months!

I wonder how good the new Necromancy runes will be for XP. Runecrafting is one of the 99s I have yet to get. Currently, I am at 98.

I've never used or even know what the purpose of a Runemetrics profile is. I think I get some perk for it from Premier, and apparently there's even payment specifically for Runemetrics.

It looks like an improved highscores viewer? I can see how it might be cool to use to watch other players, but it seems like that should only be reserved for players I know well, and in that case why wouldn't I just ask them what they're up to?

*scoff* my profile doesn't even seem to tell everyone I'm HCIM! What use is Runemetrics? :p
