So if they implemented an option to delete your character, you'd feel
compelled
to do it? Or if you had to upload a video of yourself doing the truffle shuffle to keep posting on the forums, you'd feel
compelled
to do it?

It's obvious from replies that quite a number of folk don't feel compelled to do anything remotely close to it. The only difference being that the ones in support of it are giving people who will actually do it the chance to.

Hurt the economy? How? By giving skillers more opportunities to make money (or improve existing options) because more resources will be needed? And that if more content is introduced down the road that has bigger and better amounts of exp, or gets rid of products faster, or consumes more mats, that the economy would be further strengthened, because a lot of people will actually have reason to do said content beyond just grabbing their and their superdrygore or superseismic plus placeholder?

How would new players be discouraged any, either? They might actually make money off lowbie mats instead of not seeing any decent income until 85-90 for most skills, or even higher for others (if ever), in addition to needing to spend a ton to get SS and Super Antis/Extremes/Ovls if they actually want to earn your levels and not just warband it up.

@2:
The same technical limitations that have prevented stack size from changing since day one? There's a lot more to be said here, but it's kind of like just walking up and saying "I want my 2005 Toyota to be capable of planetary entry/re-entry.". You have to change virtually everything to accomplish that, and it's not going to be a simple or cheap process, either.

@3:
Doesn't change the fact that experience is being wasted, content is useless, and a lot of products (and even worse, resources) are floored because they're functionally pointless.

Overall XP should still be included in the highscores


Gee, looking at one of the pictures they have on the blog, there's people who are 40m exp apart yet 1900 levels.

I'm gonna guess that means that total exp counted, since the lower level person could easily have say, 1b exp, and still be 1400 total levels behind because [they haven't prestiged .

That must mean it's really easy for them to simply add another column and show OH HEY, he has 800m in mining or that hey the other guy is only getting bare bones minimum.

RawrGuardian said :

Prestige should not reset lvl / total XP, it should just be an additional feature


Did you even look at it? That's exactly what it is. I mean hell, you can see that someone is total level 2365 with 283m exp, and the next person is 3258 with 296m.

At the top of the list, there's someone with 6993 total levels and 762m. Second has 8453 and 889m exp.

It's stupid that people are "against" this idea when it's already EXACTLY WHAT THEY SUGGEST IT SHOULD BE, or worse, they don't even care because it's not what they want. I don't use the ale brewing device. Doesn't mean I think it doesn't need updates or more recipes, or that it should never have existed.

That'd just be ignorant and destructive.

I voted: No,
Simply because it DOES effect me in a really annoying way. The people who want to Prestige will make the prices of supplies skyrocket which will make me have a hard time trying to obtain items to get my 99 that I haven't even achieved yet!
Why wont you focus on the people without 99s and not the people who already have them, giving me a hard time to get a 99 myself... But I'm glad to see alot of people said, No. :)

I voted no even though I like the idea. But no, I don't want prestige in that form. Tweak the idea a little and for example i'd like to see my current over exp be continued into the new prestige. Otherwise i'd feel like it goes to "waste" when I reset. Make it so that for example 50% of your overexp goes into your new prestige when you reset the first time.

Plus I'd like to see the level cap raised to 120 especially for combat skills. Would be really cool.

Why should the experience be grandfathered?

So the people who are 1st to 200m can be 1st in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th prestiges?

They already have a rank that'll never change, and when people prestige they'll still have a higher total exp even if, somehow, someone else manages to get ahead of them. Did you not bother reading the whole blog?

Why shouldn't it get grandfathered? Players who have spent thousands hours and hours grinding for the hiscores just to know that suddenly their experience is just in the "old hi-scores." And that's why there's that 50% penalty so that the newer players could still get past you.

And yes, I read the whole blog. Did you read my post? Where did I say that my total xp gets reset? I just said that my over exp feels like it's going to "waste" since it doesn't matter if I reset with 13.1m exp or 200m exp.

Just a reminder to everyone getting upset by NO votes...

Voting YES gets prestige added with all the flaws in the original concept. Voting NO gives Jagex a chance to go back to the drawing board and modify the concept with all of the good ideas presented by players in a week of feedback across various pinned threads started by J-Mods.

Voting NO will actually result in a game change more to everyone's liking.

This guy is one smart cookie, and everybody should listen to what he said ^

Voting NO in this poll proves to Jagex that sometimes, their "genius" ideas that they are busy patting themselves over the back for are not always ideal, or the best thing for the future of the game. It has been clear in the past that these sorts of game-changing updates have had hugely negative impacts on the game, the economy, and on subscriber growth. All updates implemented despite resounding backlash from the people actually playing the game.

This poll can be thought of as a revolutionary concept of sorts... as Jagex sees the results pouring in, results that are probably a big surprise to them, the above realization will hit home and hopefully, bring change to the way these game changing ideas are implemented into the game.

Voting NO gives us the best chance at actually being involved in the process of creating a new system that works for the vast majority of players, something that most people can agree on. This is HUGE! This is a victory for any player who has felt in the past that their opinions and concerns have fallen on deaf ears. The fact we even got this polled at all is a monumental achievement for the paying subscibers! I just wish everybody could see this and be grateful we've been given this opportunity.

Lol Jagex has run out of ideas how to make game attractive, so instead of generating new cool ideas, they want you all become newbs again and start all over again, what a poor solution.
If this terrible system will go live, you can forget them to update skills and expand content because "hey look, you can start all over again, whats the problem".
Yes, I know its optional, but hey, Jagex was against p2win not a long time ago, right?
