Mr Crow said :
yeah why not raise the level cap to 120? we'll see people at level 242 instantly...but no matter what you do Jagex, max level will never be more then a joke now.


Having some people 242 would be better a bit better than millions of players all being 200cb.
I don't agree that all 120 skills is a solution tho, but it would be nice for cb, and if someone has 104m attack, 104m defence already, imo they deserve the levels for it.

Cheers

Endgame content is very important and wanting players to fight over who is number 1 is great for a game.

The way you wanted to bring more competition to endgamers was dull.

It did not bring any new game play content to players, it just had them doing the same thing they have been doing for years, same old grind that JaGeX said they wanted to make less of/ get rid of.

I would like to see NEW content that brings competition, and brings the player a new experience.

To help out old content, you can use the Seasonal HiScores. Each week or month, how ever you set it up it changes, but the challenges become new or diff then the last.

Week 1, who gets the most points in charm spirits.
week 2, most x kills on x boss that seems to have been outdated or ignored.
And so on, this can help a little with less used content.

For endgamers though, you need new content.

Thanks for doing a poll on this at least. While I voted yes, it's good to know you've listened to what most of the RS population wants.

"Personally, I’m pleased with this outcome. I’d much rather start from scratch than release something that doesn’t work for the players it’s supposed to please."

Now, only if Mod MMG had the same views as this guy, we wouldn't have to deal with EoC anymore.

Isn't it amazing that Jagex can't seem to realize what damn hypocrites they are?

My suggestion as a counter to the Prestige proposal would be to revise the levels and cape system to allow those with 99 already to continue earning rewards/recognition in the game. For example, changing the maximum levels in all skills to have additional benchmarks and recognize those benchmarks with differing cape notations. We have different capes for Ardy 1, 2, 3 and 4. Why not allow someone to earn an untrimmed cape at 99, then add colored trim at additional levels:
120 - bronze trim
140 - silver
160 - gold
180 - mithril
200 - rune or diamond

Using the current exponential increase in xp required to gain additional levels should keep everyone in the game working on virtually every skill for a looooong while to come. Keep Max cape for 99 in all skills, make a new trimmed Max cape for all skills at each tier.

I think this would be well received, as it doesn't require a reset of levels, and could instantly recognize those which tens of millions of xp in their favorite skills.

Seasonal highscores imo is a good way to increase competition without taking away from the achievements of the people currently at the top.

For the people who want some goal beyond 99 or 200m xp you could add an item that absorbs xp (ie you activate the item and cut trees and dont get wc xp but your item gains xp). Once it has absorbed enough xp you can open it for rewards or use it for some other purpose.

Some other possibilities... armor/weapons that absorb xp from skilling that require xp instead of gold to recharge. keys that require some amount of xp that will open some dungeon or boss fight. high level gathering equipment that gets better with more xp absorbed.

I could think of more if I sit here longer but I'd rather go play rs...

Edit: I decided to make a thread about this in the suggestions

What the ppl complaining about 120's don't understand is the xp rates would be relative as they are going from 1-99, would not be nearly as difficult as gaining 104m xp now. It would however provide tons of room for new content, something the game desperately needs, high lvl skilling content would mean skilling has a use again, high lvl combat means training your stats is actually worth it opposed to strength being essentially useless etc. The game is easier than ever currently to gain xp
would be kinda fun to have the new content and the prize at the end of the road again.
Currently there is very little motivation for new players or players in general to level up for anything other than maxing, 120's could potentially provide that motivation with new content. The shear amount of max/comp capes in game now should say something, maxing is too easy and is one of the few goals worth going for anymore.

I personally voted "no" because i didn't want a system that was like call of duty added into Runescape for only cosmetic bonuses.If you guys wanted to do something like this just increase the levels of the game to 120+ if you truly want to make the players happy.

That way we are not bound by our limits with just 99 and also we can make way for new content coming into the game. And make it to where if you do increase the levels like this on the players that we won't lose our comp/max capes.

It would be horrid if you guys did something like this that enraged the community of veteran players that have this.We would lose our veteran players and jagex would lose too many customers that way.

Just my personal thoughts,Signed Gods Pures :)
