I voted no because to me, Prestige didn't make sense. All of us work hard to gain those levels we have. In my case not for prestige. To gain more content and areas to play in game.

Your doing an excellent job Jagex. I love the new quests and content being added.
My biggest fear would be to run out of quests and fun things to do in Gielinor.

I'm sure a happy compromise can be decided. Thanks for asking our opinion.

I love this game! Starr

Its depressing seeing that this will most likely not happen. For someone who has been playing this game for literally years, and seeing as i'm almost "finished" with the game.. It would be fun that I could start over and not actually have to make a whole new character. I don't see why people would vote no. if you don't like it, don't do it. If I had more time, I would of tried harder to get some more votes for this, sadly I just got home today.
I agree. Its quite depressing to see that this update will probably not go through.

The only skill that I truly enjoy here in Runescape is smithing and with over 100M smithing exp, I'm more than than half of the limit. With prestige, I won't have a limit and I could still continue playing the game (keeping smithing as my only 99 forever).

If you do not like the update, do it for people like us who would like to use this update. Don't just completely shut down the idea by voting no.

Prestige is an option. Your accomplishments will still remain the same unless you decide to prestige.

So there was far greater opportunity for No to win. A suspicious person would call that a rigged vote.

The reason for a super majority is clear: Jagex doesn't want to do it unless a vast majority (at least 75%) thinks it's awesome. The poll is showing that people don't want Prestige implemented. I don't see this as a rigged vote. The people have spoken.

Actually, the "supermajority" doesn't seem to really care enough to even vote.

wow.........i just read this.......this is the worst idea ive ever heard .......its taken me 6 years of membership to get the prestige [almost all 99's] I allready have!! I know I'll never be number number one, and that's okay. To basically start all over , and have to have to have 99's ON TOP of 99's. No thank you! It was once plenty of prestige to have a 99's cape..........then we started getting capes for EVERYTHING and they really lost their "prestige" to the point , well....... that I don't even bother getting them anymore :( . I don't know............this game has changed so much the last couple years . And I don't think it's been for the better. Sorry to say that, because I loved this game and if you were to see how many irl hrs ,days,months and yes years of my life I have in this game you would know that, anymore I have a hard time even getting past the lobby. I vote no on the new "prestige".

No, its not against the rules to have 2 accounts. I know someone who has 5. Its all profit for Jagex since you're paying membership to all accounts. +) The only contingent to having multiple accounts is to not do trades between them.

And thanks for voting! I love this idea too and although, we stand no chance in winning, I do hope that Jagex see that there is enough interest for this idea to go through.

The only prb I have with the suggested dev blog is that if I reset a skill like fletching, and it's under 20, and i run out of runite bolts, I want to be able to make more. I've always preferred making my own items, most times from raw scratch.

A fix for this is, I'd still be able to fletch the items, but anything above the prestiged level wouldn't give any xp, which I'd be fine with.

Have a good one.

I have two accounts also. You can have as many as you want, you just can't transfer anything between them or play them on the same game at the same time, not even if they are on different worlds. It is allowed to play eoc, 2007, and classic all at the same time with separate accounts.

What is the technical problem with registering more than 200M xp in a skill and sort the ranking that way?

That aside I would rather see max level increased to 120 in every skill, with new content in the 99-120 range.

According to a screenshot of Andrew Gower answering a Q&A in his clan chat I found while googling:

That is there for technical reasons, because your exp actually goes up in 0.1 increments, which means that the total number stored is 2 billion.


The picture cuts off the rest of his response, but I assume he goes into some detail about 32 bit signed integers, seeing as that's why the stack size is what it is, and why they rounded it down slightly.
