Continued because 2k characters is not enough for someone as long winded as I am:


I came back to this old game because I wanted to play RS2 again, or what Jagex offered as a legit oldschool server, not RS2.1 not Pre-EoC..had those been polled as seperate servers and this were to never get updates, I would've supported 'em, let each group of players have their own servers, and happily played on RS3 and the old game.

This game already has more than it did back in 2007, and more than RS3 has..or at least things that RS3 doesn't have..this isn't the game I wanted to play, and by the looks of it, with 9k players logged in at night and 15k during the day, it might end up a version that nobody really wanted..

Plus we are all forgetting there are no summoning pets. It will be a lot harder to stay at godwars as long....there is no coinshare for ppl to camp without having to leave and sell the item.......item will be high priced meaning if ppl are pking with it...whips will now be risked instead of the dds. Also some may not even risk it being smited.....

The dds is capable of specing over 80 hp of damage and also only uses 25% bar vs the armadyl may be lucky to hit 76 with 1 spec...not to mention the 2nd hit takes longer vs the dds. The whip and dds will still be used or in combination of armadyl spec to dds. Idiots saying there will be 1 itemers and pjers are just blind and dont even play this game. THERE ARE ALREADY 1 ITEM DDS PPL!!! And there are so many dark bow pjers in void or G MAUL ppl....the armadyl godsword will not change this......if anything you are not going to risk being owned by a dark bow....I've seen the dark bow hit 90 HP lol.......but AGS is overpowered lol?

Now the dragon boot issue i can agree somewhat because its 3 slayer levels difference from rune boots. We forget how many pures are in this game. Many rune pures can't use d boots anyhow so there will of course be a need for rune boots. Rune boots may hit 150k which is only half of what it is now but would you buy dragon boots if they are 1mil and you are pking? It's the same situation as infinity boots vs mystic boots or karil vs black d hide. One is expensive for a little bit better stats while one is always a better option for cost efficiency and can do just as good with its stats. It's not like hard leather body vs armadyl chestplate.....these armours have a small advantage. When you talk nex armour, they beat other armours in everything. Ganodermic was a very easy item to make and it was so powerful and even became the same price as barrows....So this is what devalues an item.....when it's better at EVERYTHING and COST just the SAME or not so much more...

The irony is that the reason so many people left the server is because a lack of the content that we are just now starting to get. Try again.

This game has 1/3 of the players back in 2007 and i mean total...not just old school. The game will become a version and/or lose players because of things people complain about. EOC and all these other armours came into game because people complained about not being a combat person or ever being able to get good at pvm so they want something equal to pvm'ers......or they want the combat to be balanced. They didnt realize that melee has never been overpowered but only had more weapons/armour options compared to range and mage. I understand people like to look good and have decent stat armour for other styles of combat but jagex took that the wrong way and made these armours/weapons devalue other things. GWD has never devalued anything because the godswords weakness is the rate of attack which makes the whip/rune defender and maybe even the d scimmy have a higher DPS rate vs godswords. Also you can't wear a DFS so defense stats is lower. Bandos armour has a nice amount of lower defense stats...making barrows still a favorite vs a small str and prayer bonus. Armadyl is the same vs karils but with a bit better mage bonus but has negative melee bonus which karil and d hide don't. Then eveything comes down to price.....GWD stuff usually is over 10m+ vs barrows being under 10m vs dragon stuff being under 1m...so you see there is a balance for everything. The version of the game you don't want is a bit pre-eoc (imo after nex)

Exactly...the current content is really easy for some and there isn't much you can really do. A lot of people left in 2007 for free trade and wildy being taken away and now many will leave because of the limited things old school has and if GWD doesn't pass....i guarantee this server will drop below 5k players.

@ Demon of W97
Eh, tbh, for the most part i didnt even use spec weapons, if they brought back and handcannon, and made it so it didnt blow up in my face, range would be fine, even if hc didnt have a spec i wouldnt care, i only edge pked about 1/2-1/3 of the time, and i was generally always risking as much as any melee user, (gotta love the black dhide top and bottom, team cape a msb veng runes and nothing else?) To be honest, idk why i dont have a problem with cb triangle the way it is, i plan on pking @ cb level 99, once i get my stats back up, currently my old range tank is sitting in the flaming inferno of hell known only as Eoc (no offense to you as you care for it, my personal preference i don't)
Anywho, i really dont think a new staff is neccisarry, to be honest what id like to see is barrage with a max in the high 30's to mid 40's and surge spell's, also rigour and augury, although theres alot of fool's out there who are to disenchanted by rushers to really stop and think about it before they say no to rig, it should be ingame . .
And untradables should be lost on death, comeone its wildy, wtf is with keeping items. . . .
Anywho g2g for a while ill check in later.

2k characters isn't enough for me too but people like us get our comments half-read because people don't seem it important to fully read. I was going to also add about you saying about these things being polled..I AGREE 100% that EOC should have been polled and i think jagex is learning their lesson and using OSRS as an example but the numbers of players is great compared to how many people play runescape. 50k Players total with over 15k willing to start over and not play EOC is HUGE...Not to mention it was over 24k!! Imagine if you didn't have to start over...Would EOC even have 3k players?

Coming from a ranger, the day range void disappears on death will be one of the better days for osrs, rushing idiots with darkbows hurting the name of legit pking and runing any future updates for rangers, by throwing off how powerfull they really are due to a bunch of void pures. . A bunch of people that can spam rush with no fear of death is foolish, all untradeables should be lost on death, its wilderness there needs to be risk.

Also, when ags wass released thats how rushing happend ialot was in void, cant be lost on death, increased strength and accuracy, all you need is a strength amulet and climbers. . . . Same exact risk as Dbow rushers, People seem to have completely forgotten about that, saying "you need barrows gloves, full bandos. . ." you dont all you need is an armour that you can barely lose is free and takes 24 hours to get. . . .

Same exact rushing technique used by darkbow rushers.

Untradeables should be lost on death!!!!

Yeah. Well. Might as well just go along with what's left, and have Nov. 2012 pre-EoC Runescape.

As much as I know we don't want this to stagnate, this already isn't the Old School that was billed on release earlier this year.

That said, if you're going to do it again, I like and appreciate many of the changes that are being presented to attempt to smooth over some glaring problems with the original, including but not limited to: NON-noted addy bar drops from aviansies; the proposed change to the spec on AGS; the proposed change to upgrade rune boots with GWD-dropped add-ons; and the proposed changes to allow Barrows gear to retain value.

Good luck and have fun all, however you feel about this.
