This does seem like a good idea to create compition among the highscores but I hear many players who have 200m xp in a skill do not want this to go as that 187m xp comes to waste since when you prestige it counts as 1, the same if they had just 13m xp.

I had an idea to counter this, when one prestages, all excess xp collected after 99 is stored on a seperate counter, then after they prestage and reach 98, this excess xp is given to them allowing them to reach 99 easily. This stored xp is not added at lower levels as the xp would likely be gained by high skilled activities, only a high level could do (such as 98).

I feel this would lower the rage by letting those who got xp past 99 use it when they reach around 95-99 to quickly prestage. However I have read that xp after prestiging is halved so the stored xp would be consumed twice as fast. of the elves

Sorry for posting so much. But another reason why I voted 'no' was that it took me 7 years to get to where I am now (2461 ttl). It will probably be another year for me to max... Most people will max in a 5-10 year period. Realizing new skill levels with that much xp, it could take people another 10-20 years. Then to get the next prestige, another 15-30 years. It will take a lifetime to max your account truly.

That's a positive thing I want to play this game as long and I can and prestige allows players to do that

Just redeemed a bond to be able to vote NO.

I would have liked the poll to be up longer than just till 22nd because I won't have so much time over the next 2 weeks to actively use my membership. But anyways, I voted NO because the prestige system reminds me of Sisyphos (greek mythology, the guy who was forced to roll a stone up a mountain over and over and over...). Even though you said it's optional I do think players will feel forced to use it in order to compete further.

You need to be a member before the blog was launched so what you are saying is a lie.

Forget about prestige and lets reflect on the "new" idea for changing the look of existing skill capes! They look fine for an 07 server...but for this day and age they look old and used. Lets vote for a new look for all 99 skill capes and say "no" to more looks on Solomons! If there was a new look for skill capes that would definately increase my interest to go for more 99's...as it is I just putz around from skill to skill knowing that once I get another 99 its just going to be the same looking cape with different color and different logo....boring! Skill capes need a new look...new life and a new purpose to get them! Who's with me on this idea?

Incorrect, he only needed to have the account created prior to that date, becoming a member has no date requirement.

Also a good idea I was really just suggesting it as opposed to the prestige things plus eventually they're going to add stuff to the higher level of the game that are going to look weird as a reward for level 99!

I like the idea of armor, weapons, familiars, and allies you can level as well as maybe even an introduction of interskill specialties per character far better than a raise to the skillcap. It would add somewhere to go that could end up being quite extensive while not making max cape unreachable.

Once again this game wasn't designed with an end-game in mind- Since prestiging is unlimited you truly have the wrong mindset about this. \\ \\ \\_________|`›¸ ............Sir.RôbiñHôôd ......... ¸‹´|_______// // //

This is the exact same reason I don't want 120 skills.

I don't mind prestige as much because it's impractical. It gives you no measurable benefits in game.

In my opinion they should scrap both ideas, and add more and more new skills (which there is always room for).

In Jagex's own words from a 2012 Q+A wider not deeper would be better.

But if I had to pick the lesser of two evils I would definitely go with prestige.
