Title: Xp Rate?
Post by: Rare on January 16, 2013, 06:49:25 am
Hello dear RuneRebels, the server is very good. but in my opinion I have a big problem, the xp rate is too fast, anyone else has a problem with this?

Too fast? You must not have trained long enough. The exp rate is 2x and I think it is perfect where it's at.

Think about it, I earned all my levels the first time when I started in 2004. It took me four years to realize how much time I've wasted on RuneScape, but I still wasn't very good. I don't want to play this game for four years. It is a great game, but in reality, I'm going to go off to college, and start a family, and have no time for games. It will pretty much be the end of not just my RuneRebels career, but my gaming career as well. When I'm willing to play this game for a year at minimum, I want the greatest outcome, which is, to be the player I was never able to be in RuneScape. The 2x exp rate is good because I think I already earned the levels I got in RuneScape and I think starting from the beginning deserves a little boost.

Its only too fast at first, its still quite a while to get a 99 but not too long.

Even if it were that, it's possible to get a 99 in less than a month.

If you want runescape's xp rate, go play runescape... You guys seriously think that this game is a full emulation of runescape, only a minority want a slower xp rate, possibly because they're either blind or want to spend six months to get a 99.

I can't play unless it is 1x, when I started playing -you really felt accomplishing something when you spent precious time on it. But at 3x or 2x, it doesn't feel that much rewarding as 1x did :/

Can we please have 1x??

trust me this 2x is still slow as shit lol, just the first few lvls go quite fast
Title: Re: Xp Rate?
Post by: Frell on January 16, 2013, 12:18:10 pm
I mean we could probably discuss making it 1.5x until that skill hits level 30

No promises, doubt it would change

really now it dont even take 6 months for agility or rc...
I do agree i think if its an rs remake should be same exp rates maybe 1.5x but i can understand some people dont have time but 1 week for a 99 is way to fast i believe

The exp rate was originally going to be 3x, we bumped it down to 2x because it was too fast. We will not be bringing it any lower any time soon, because this is a RSPS, we will never have a player base of over 5000 at max, and people will come and go pretty often, most people who want to play this game had more time in 2006 than they do now, including us. The 2x rate makes the game much more casual for players with less time and more things to do. People can still get to 99 easily, but it is not as time consuming for people who don't no life.

As such, unless we believe such a time is necessary, the exp rate will stay at 2x

Agreed with JT why move it down to 1.5 if it was that low i'll just go play the real deal.  8)

OT: Nice signature JT  ;D

It is not a big difference at all anyways... at level 50 here you'd actually be level 45 in real runescape.. It has about 5 levels above the runescape xp rate so to me it is really minor.

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.


I hope you understand what I'm getting at here.  I don't think having 2x experience makes so much of a difference in the remake factor as most people think it does. I hope you understand and still want to play even though it'll be 2x experience.

2x really isnt that fast. It seems fast at first but once you get to the higher level it slows back down. Sure maybe the level of accomplishment has gone down some, but logically, if it took you a month to get a 99 before, its now gonna take you 2 weeks. 2 weeks is still a pretty long time. As kendall said, you had to put a lot of time into runescape to get good, and I know I certainly don't want to have to put that same amount of time back in.

I feel that 3x would be better...2 weeks for a single 99 is simply too long.  I come to play RSPS to achieve the things I never could in original Runescape because they were too time consuming; Even 2.5x faster would make enough of a difference in my opinion.

na way to fast
Title: Re: Xp Rate?
Post by: Cheshire Cat on January 22, 2013, 07:05:24 pm
I like it at 1.5x - 2.0x, seems to be the best rate to be at imo.

to be honest.... if they were 1x runescape's jagex would complain

Post by: ffs victory on January 23, 2013, 04:57:46 pm
there's no way the xp rate is too fast. If anything it's too slow. I think somewhere between 4-5x xp rate is good. We don't want to grind a game forever do we? It's suppose to be fun and a 99 achieved with even a 5x xp rate would still be valuable.
Title: Re: Xp Rate?
Post by: scrilla on January 23, 2013, 05:32:00 pm
'ffs victory' 4 days for a 99 is not acceptable, its spose to be a rs06 remake not rs06 remake but x4 exp rate
Title: Re: Xp Rate?
Post by: Ruby on January 25, 2013, 08:42:29 am
I think x2 is the best XP rate we can have. When I was making my remake (back in the day) we had x4 and it was still hard to get our levels up but it wasn't as realistic as we'd have liked it to be. I believe 2x would suffice for fast enough leveling but bringing forward the realistic RuneScape feel.

i have a suggestion then for those that want 1x xp rates. make a command say ::togglexp then itll change ur xp rate to 1x and vise versa

Sounds good, but I think most of the community wants everyone to be on 1x not just themselves. Very good idea though, but I'd only have it stuck between 1x-2x and no higher.

2 weeks is too long? If you just want to get high levels, play Worldscape or something.

commands are being removed soon, and this would cause way to much chaos within the community.

Now from personally skilling im happy with x2, id also be happier with x1.5, obviously x1 is the best but its still extremely long for a 99 :)

I like the xp rate, and I wouldn't like it any slower.  This is especially true for runecrafting.

Post by: faby47 on February 08, 2013, 03:46:43 pm
feeling the same here. We are older, not everyone has time to play games for more than 2h daily - btw that's very much for me, sometimes i don't have time to even sit down to computer, school and sport are keeping me busy, so 2x or 3x is a way to go for me more than that would be really 2 fast, less would be too slow - my perfect rate is 2,5x or even 3x as was RuneRewind which got shutdown by Jagex.
