Reword this:

"You are tired of doing floors with idiots and rage quitters on dungeoneering worlds."


Change this:

"Floor times average 20-35 minutes."


Our floor times are faster, if people realised that I'm sure they'd be more willing to join. The first line just bugged me. Even if it's true of some people, it's still not a great way to go about making your point.


Bring back records, sort of. Giving people something to aim for and work towards can be a great motivational tool. Not only this, but it would also showcase our times and show potential members that we're not completely outdated, and still offer very decent Xp/H.

I say "sort of" because I'd like records to be handled slightly differently.

Put in some sort of limitation like "you can only be listed twice per theme." to prevent taking over the records, while at the same time leaving room to improve your own records.


Bringing back "records", would show other players we do have decent times, and decent xp/h. I'm sure more people would join if they saw that. Heck we might even get some who join purely to beat and maintain the records.


I wasn't in Dg4fun when the records were, so I'm not 100% sure why they were removed. I do think they'd attract more people, and maybe even (temporarily at least) boost the amount of floors we having going.

I'll change the floor times average.

We took away the records because people focused on them too much. The whole point of dg4fun is not to be obsessed with getting the fastest time, but having a fun floor done well. I know that we can repeat over and over that the hiscores is not the main goal and does not only reflect the keyer's skill, but why have one when it's going to make half the keyers focus only on the time? It's fun to try to do your personal best every floor. It's even fun to beat your old record times. But I think that making an official hiscores in which keyers compete against each other provides more bad than good.

Things like people forming teams via pm to avoid taking "slow" people on their record breaking attempts happened. We want more forming in the fc, not less.

Also, over half the applicants do not even make it to the farming section of the thread. They only make it there the second time because we force them to read. I'm sure they do not go looking for more to read. The hiscores were on this thread, not the recruitment one because they were not all that important. They were an internal fun game, not one we wanted to make our reason of existing.

I don't think we'd entirely want the type of people who would join just to beat records. We actually try to discourage that kind of behavior . Have fun dungeoneering while getting decent xp. We need a hiscores for that.

Just wanted to drop a message here that I've decided to resign my keyer rank.

While I was initially among the first to try to figure everything out post-eoc, I've never really enjoyed the new combat system, and floors are hardly anything but combat now. It was Dungeoneering that kept me from quitting for about a year leading up to eoc, and I'll always love this group for it But after eoc, I became fed up with the constant series of tweaks to dg and didn't want to figure it out all over again every week. I also simply don't enjoy the eoc combat. Ports were what kept me online, but that's over too now.

I've moved over to the 2007scape servers. As you may have guesed, this will mean that my activity won't improve, and it's been horrible for a while now. I shouldn't be holding this rank anymore. I'll still be in the group for the occasional floor or two, but not always in the fc. Feel free to pm me if you need someone to fill a floor. No guarantees that I'll come, but I'll try

Best of luck to the 4 keyers left
