I'm really confused about the XP rate, I think it should be revisited now we have over 10k members. We deserve to suggest our opinions! :'(
-
Not all 10k play :o
Plus it was recently bumped up to 2 i think
-
Why would someone want 10x LOL
-
2x only seems bad in theory, but its the best rate.
Once you hit level 30-40 it starts to slow down. Most players of runescape during 2006 are much older now and don't have the same amount of time.
-
5-6x is easily the best because I sure as hell don't have the time ro sit around on a 1-2x rate. And I'm sure many will agree with me.
Also who said this server is going to last long enough for someone to max out on, wouldn't you rather a flourishing economy in a couple if months with evenly dispersed richness or do you want the couple of no lifers running the economy?
Deal breaker
Typed this on my phone so pls stahp

Exactly. In 2006 I was in 6th grade, which was when RuneScape was my life. I would play until 12 in the morning and wake up at 4-5 AM just to get some more play time in. Then I would go to school and immediately go on the computer as soon as I got home at 3. On a good day, I could get 12 hours of play time. Thats 1/2 of a day! Now a days, I have time to play for a half hour in the mornings, but I come home at 6-7 everyday because of wrestling practice. 8-9 at latest if we have a match. Then I have until 12 to do whatever I want, which is to play RuneRebels. And I will get almost no playtime on Fridays, because you know, girlfriend, so Fridays and Saturdays reduce my playtime significantly. I have no time to no life this game. I already did that in 6th grade, and I almost had to stay back a year because of it.
-
If we had 5-6x exp rate then i would have a few 99s by now. I like the 2x its best for me.
-
Having a lot of people with 99s ruins the game... There is also much less sense of achievement. We need noobs!
-
I'll just leave this quote here:
I understand that you want it to be closer to the original, but times have changed and I don't think most people can adapt to the way experience is gained. Most people have either played RuneScape or another private server recently with either faster ways to get experience, or higher experience rate. Because of that, people begin to grow impatient when training on the older, slow methods of training that were the best at this time. Because of this, a boost in experience is almost necessary to keep an active player base.
However, I also believe that 10x is way too much. As shown with another remake when it was in a "Pre-Alpha" state, quite a few 99s were achieved in the first week. With this, the game progresses way too fast and the game gets boring. However, the other option of 3x is not too unreasonable. Although it's still quite faster than 2x, it's more reasonable than being over or at 5x experience. Personally, I believe 2x is the perfect rate of XP gain.
-
I think 2x was at a resonable rate, when we were playing with 10x during pre-alpha, i was getting 99's like no tomorrow and people were competing for "who can get maxed on the xp first" instead of "who can get to 99 first" which was a little annoying in my taste.
-
Yea just remember when your playing on 2x rate your halving the exp you need for lvl 99 in a skill 13.5 / 2 = 6.75 WOOT! that's easy!
What we all are forgetting is the rs is a game where the fun factor rely to much on the social part. That's why this game doesn't work well with higher xp rates.
If you don't have the time to play the game, you wont be making many friends/enemies making the game a boring one.
-
Lots of people that would be interested in playing a runescape server from 2006 are playing solely for the sake of nostalgia and simply don't have time to level up at a 2x rate (such as me). I've been playing for 5 or so days and only trained woodcutting and I'm only at level 46 I believe. I think that 3 or 4x xp would be better for me but I think that since this is suppose to be as close as 2006 as possible it would be better for the server as a whole to keep it at 2x xp. I probably will never have a level 99 (although I'm sure many people will) but really the xp rate should stay at 2x.
-
I feel 2x exp is like the perfect rate. Getting a 99 here is like getting a 92 on Runescape, consider it 24/7 double exp weekend! Also with it at 2x we still have to work for 99's even though we get them twice as fast, so it still has that feeling of accomplishment.
-
I think 2x is the best rate for us.
-
1x is just too slow and everybody knows it.
10x is by far too fast.
I think 3x is the perfect formula.

ffs victory thus far hasn't been wrong. It is decided. The xp rate should be 3.
-
I'm going to go with 5x it gives the people who don't have time the chance to compete and it offers a challenge still for the hardcore gamers.
2x is way too slow I don't know why everyone is so keen on it
-
I am not going to argue about xp rates because it's pointless. The poll speaks for itself and I agree with it.
-
10x all the WAY!~!!!
-
try 2x exp right now, and introduce 4x exp weekends later on. this will increase the population on the worlds because more people will be scrambling to get all that extra exp. and you should introduce this 4x exp weekend every couple weeks (more like every two or three weeks) and then people will both have a sense of achievement and come even closer too a 99 to boot.

I love the support my friend!

poll speaks for itself like gold said, the xp rate is perfect at 2x, its soo funny because before it was 10 x and people were like "wtf change it to 3x before i leave" and then it went to 3x and then people said "wtf... this is too easy go 1.5x" and then people voted on 2x "and now its wtf... 2x i dont have time for this shit" and we all see the human nature that nobody is every happy at the majority of decisions...
-
1x rate
-
Most people vote 2x, so why not keeping it like that?

it is saying 2x

I agree with a 1.5x - 2.0x xp rate. Stats are still decently hard to train with this rate.
-
1-2 preferbaly 1 because it creates better eco and is more like 06 x2+ is for lazy people who make an excuse of having no time im 17 and have lots of time.

I'm 17. I have wrestling practice every day, a girlfriend, colleges to apply to, at least 2 pages of homework every day. I have almost no time.
-
I like 2.0x -its not too fast not too slow= just perfect :)
-
To be honest, I don't see the xp being changed. It's spot on where it is. Once you pass level 40-60 you really struggle, Unless you're coordinates and just disregard the slow leveling law ::)
Good to see people voicing their own opinions though.
-
x2 or x3 is the best because it maintains a good economy. If we go to high, things will start to inflate the economy and then prices will drop and the eco will turn into Project RS06.
-
1x Rates are okay, but I wouldn't prefer them
2x Rates have seemed fine, because it still takes a long time to get 99.
3x Rates would be a little crazy and I don't think I would stay on here if that were the case.
10X Rates I wouldn't play at all.
-
The thing is if we bumped the xp rate up to x3 no one would even realise until someone had actually said something.
For all we know it could be x4 and we wouldn't even know.
-
I would actually prefer the experience rates to be lower then higher, 1.7 would be a pretty good rate (who says we have to round it to the nearest .5??)
I will specify my reasons for a lower experience rate below:
Economy - If it is easy to level then everyone will have high stats, if everyone has high stats items are much easier to attain.
Challenge - Having a challenge means it's actually an accomplishment to get 99 in a stat, the game isn't much fun if you've already attained the maximum level in all skills.
Player killing - Is far better when you actually have something to lose, if it's harder to obtain items due to the experience rate being lower it will make player killing more enjoyable.
Obviously there's two sides to every story a downside with a lower experience rate is the lack of time that many of the older players now have.

Very well stated. I agree with you 100% there.
-
2x is great, i'd probably quite if it went less
-
Here's a poll for you guys to vote on! This will give the Mods, Devs and owners a better idea of what some of the players want the XP rate to be!:)
-
Anything above x2 would be unfair to the older players and would really drop the state of our economy as leveling would be easier and items would be easier to get. I think the XP rate should be dropped over time as the playerbase grows so the economy stays in good shape. If we have LOTS of people, items will start to inflate the economy and the prices would go down due to the demand.
-
Understood completely...however, for some people it might be easier and more efficient to level up with a higher exp rate, so they are not spending hours to get from level 90 fishing to 91 as an example.
-
Spending the time is good. I have no problem with waisting 2 weeks of my life for my 99 fishing. I infact, love doing it. Its for nostalgia. I am supprised that we even have x2 XP rate as it is a remake. I like it though.
-
Keep it at 2x.
-
I think x2 is the max we should go honestly, any faster just feels to easy to me IMO.
-
You can already level quite fast as it is. I got 71 fletching and 77 wcing in like 1 day. It should be reduced or kept as it is.
-
There is no 100x, so I guess I'll just vote for 10x.
-
Man there are a lot of these tonight lol, ill say what I said on the other. I feel like anything above 2x xp rates would be too much, I feel it would take away the whole "old rs feel" if it were any faster, I understand we don't have as much time to train like in the old days with us being grown up and all, thus the 2x rate however making it more than that would feel unrealistic and wouldn't really make me feel accomplishment for my levels. Just my opinion
-
Topic has been merged with an already existing one on the subject.
-
2x is perfect. 1x is far too low, especially since a lot of people don't have the amount of time to play like they did back in the day.
-
10x-I personally think in my opinion that x10 jus takes the point out of the game almost...TOO MUCH
x3-This is a great thing but not the best it's good but just a tad bit too fast.
1.5x - This is honestly good but not my favorite, it just goes a bit to slow at these stages.
1x- No just no.
2x-This is honestly perfect its just double, so if we played like 12 hours max as a kid just imagine that would basically equal 6 hours now I think this is the right rate for this server.
But once again it's only my opinion.
-
I believe that 2X XP rate would be perfect. 1.5X is okay. 1X is just a bit slow.
-
i suggest getting 4x til we get 100+ players daily then change back to 2x thats decent
-

Disagree... We've already had 100+
-
Whatever the rate is now is perfect for me. I stopped playing RS in '11 but lost interest back in like early '10 so I don't mind lvling up again. I just hope the server stays up so I can achieve my goals.
-
I respect all of your opinions guys, but I believe that 1.0x xp rate is the best for a "perfect" remake. I'm not online a lot and I don't really have a lot of time to play, maybe 2 hours at most, but RuneScape was 1.0 xp rate in 2006 and that's how the remake should be if it is truly a complete remake.
I understand that most of us don't have a lot of time on our hands, but this is just my opinion. I respect all of your opinions, thanks for posting them!
-
The exp rate at 2x is just perfect. It's not too slow but not too fast. When you level a skill it gives you a sense of achievement. Not just " oh i got another 99 in a skill."
-
3x or 4x would be good for me I simply don't have the time with me getting home at seven sometimes but I will continue to play regardless of the exp rate
-
Why would someone want 10x LOL
cos its boring doing same thing over and over , the xp was only like that by jagex because they wanted people to keep playing and members to keep paying for years
needing to grind for hundreds and thousands of hours is boring and some of us don't have that kind of time anymore
