Title: You all knew this was coming...
Post by: James on June 21, 2014, 11:46:08 am
I just want to clarify, and address some things that were said in a topic that has since been removed.

NUMERO UNO - N0va did in fact resign. I was supposed to remove his developer status, but in my mind thought that leaving it would convince him to stay, and it didn't. I did not want N0va to leave the project, as he is the sole person with 150,000% knowledge of the Quest Editor, and has pushed out more or less all of the quests that RuneRebels currently has, as well as all of the one that are near completion.

NUMERO ZWEI - Onur is a great developer, and works at a very fast pace. I enjoy having him on the development team, even if I am not super active at this point.

NUMERO TROIS - I wish everyone could just get along on their own. Since that is not happening, I'm going to make everyone get along. Anymore conflicts between staff/staff or staff/player need to either stay in private chat/private messaging or be addressed with Ryan, Kevin, or me. If I see anymore public flame posts, specifically by a member of the staff team, It's going to be an instant demotion. If I see any members or former staff publicly flaming, it's going to be anywhere from a two week to a permanent mute/ban.

NUMERO FOUR - The project itself, though contrary to popular belief, is NOT dead. We have not stopped working on RR, we just have access to almost nothing, and unfortunately cannot continue at this time. That is subject to change (hopefully) soon.

As long as it takes.......

I gave you grief before James at a time which I know now was very difficult, not going to do it this time.

Gonna stick around, keep training, hope for the best.

Completely agree with you on that one. I still believe in RuneRebels.

Sometimes I look at the stars and think back to all those great times we had at RuneRebels. The moments where I taught james (the monkey) to buy me soda from a vending machine, that time where me and Sean made our own house, and even the time where I temporarily banned Prayer that she doesn't know about to this day. I think about how much I miss those times and how Garnu being a very nice guy, was also a bit strange with his weird profile pictures. I pray to Ryan every night saying "Ryan is love, Ryan is life", hoping that one day he might fly through my window and tell me that development shall continue. We all should pray for that day... for that is the day when this game will thrive once more.

I'm curious. Would you guys be opposed to changing things around, making the server a 2006 server, instead of a 2006 remake? I am not going to make an official poll or anything. I just want to see your (The Communities) thoughts on the idea. (Not going to do it, no rumors just an idea)

I wouldn't mind if it were a separate project to make a 2006 server, but RR is best staying as a remake.

in 2 years from now, once more content is released, do you really expect to get a larger player base?

I know doing quests appeals to many players. But more npcs, minigames, and  areas open for 2006 could bring in more players and make the game more interesting imo. The sacrifice of getting rid of developing quests might be worth it, considering how long it will take to have most of them completed for a "completed 2006 rsps".

To me, what would make this game funner is if there were more people. More areas and minigames, such as barrows, pest control,  slayer tower, could bring in more players. IMO I think it's worth putting to a vote.

I don't think this is a bad idea but the reason I came here was honestly for a remake. I got tired of bouncing around from private server to private server. This is the first private server I have played that's been up for a year and a half, and probably one the of longest lasting remakes out there.

There was void in 2006, there wasn't helmets in 2006. That's was 2007.

How about this. We remove the quest requirements but players can do the quests if they want to. I am not opposed to adding skillcapes. I would like to add a higher revision (435) so we can have skillcapes and such. But it players were to do all available quests they could buy a quest cape.

I believe just making no quests would make the game so much more fun. Dragon weapons could be introduced along with more areas and shops.

Would this be a temporary thing until the quests for certain areas and weapons are completely finished?

Be permanent players can choose to do quests.

In the end of the day I feel like majority don't actually want to start over on some private server. If we make things easier I feel our player base will grow. And existing players can then enjoy themselves with the new content. 

Getting every quest added will take a long time. It isn't easy by any means. We won't stop but we can't keep up with it. Ryan, James, and myself all have jobs and personal lives. At a certain point we can't please everyone. I feel doing so will make the game a lot more fun.

Yes. Players will have access to everything. It would be as if they had completed the quest already.

But you can go back and redo the quest if you wanted to.

I want to hear why you guys do or don't like this.

I like the fact that you have to do quests in order to do different things, like enter Canifis and do everything there like barrows & slayer tower, like entering Zanaris and buying dragon weapons.
The fact that quest's have requirements make it more challenging for players, and that's what is fun about it. If there were no quests requirement for wearing items & doing different things it wouldn't be that fun or challenging. That would be a level-3 could just get a legends cape from buying it like if he'd already done the quest, lots of items will lose their value. Also alts could just runecrafting deaths-bloods and such when they would never have done the master-level questMourning's Ends Part II, or any other...

It would be better released the quests a little half-assed, like with the basic parts or whatever possible parts, rather than having no quests at all or no quest requirements for things. Then maybe reset the quest when it's fully finished ( if ever ) so we can have the full quest experience. This is supposed to be a remake, well close to one, and if it's not going to be a remake, why not just play Worldscape?  I just don't think Kevin's idea would be overall great to some parts.

Personally, as much as I'd like seeing and enjoying all the perks of new areas & content, I would not like to see quest content being added without the quests and quest requirements themselves. The RuneRebels that I joined and played had a vision of being a remake, as far-fetched that dream may be, the determination slowly, but steadily, moved forward. I think we've all come to understand that we may never be a complete 100% remade version of 2006 Runescape, but every other remake that I've seen / played has some sort of defective quality in an attempt to cut corners to provide more content to players. This defect changes the entire feel of the game. The content you have provided us in RuneRebels has been the cleanest and most nostalgic Runescape emulating feel in a RSPS that I have ever seen. This change to the quests could be what defines RuneRebels as a private server, and not a Remake. For how far the development goes, I'd rather see RR be primitive but perfect, rather than trying to provide as much as possible.

I feel that sometimes all I want is content but this takes the rustic feel away from rr if you just release everything. some things need to be worked for.

As much as I stand by my view point, I sort of agree on this, but only for Canifis & Zanaris. I'd say if they were released that would make a lot of things different, like the best armour and weapons would be totally different. Both those locations being released would introduce whips, rune boots, g mauls,  dragon longsword, dragon dagger, dharok, ahrims, veracs, guthans, torag, & kharils, which would be amazing... but then again I was wondering why not just release the half-assed versions of the quest rather than just having those two locations accessible to everyone?

Because the quests are so broken that you cannot trigger certain steps. So you would be stuck mid-quest.

Both those locations being released would introduce whips, rune boots, g mauls,  dragon longsword, dragon dagger, dharok, ahrims, veracs, guthans, torag, & kharils, which would be amazing... but then again I was wondering why not just release the half-assed versions of the quest rather than just having those two locations accessible to everyone?

Because the quests are so broken that you cannot trigger certain steps. So you would be stuck mid-quest.
Which means that my idea pwns. Fuck yeeee

Lost City is broken after talking to the first NPC lol. Priest in Peril has like 90% object dialogue and we don't even have that yet.

I would like Canifis and Entrana available, maybe Barrows but not Zanaris. There's no sense of accomplishment if we can get dragon weps. Having Entrana available sets up Troll Stronghold and agility though. With Canifis we can get colored gloves, boots, and finally have access to more slayer monsters.

I feel like it would be highly beneficial for essential items (D-Long, D-Scim, DDS, etc) to be released into the game without the need for quests. Basically it will give us the benefit of being able to use these items, but as soon as the quests are released, upon equipping these items, if you hadn't done the quest it will say "You need to complete ---- to wield this item" like it usually does.

Obviously it isn't an ideal situation, but it will give us the ability to use items early, and as soon as the quests are released they become unusable. Nobody wants RuneRebels to turn into a regular lame-ass RSPS like SoulSplit, that's not what it has been built for, however I feel like the only way to please people in the mean time is to give an early release of items with the promise that the quest will soon follow.

It's obviously a pain staking situation having to code the game, if i had any knowledge of coding i'd try to help you myself, but unfortunately I don't, my qualifications are in media not computer language scripts or whatever they're known as.

Those who oppose this idea are either ridiculously wealthy in the game, to the point where it doesn't bother them about new item releases, or they just don't want to see change. Either way, reflect upon what could make the game better, and we all know that it's not bug fixes and graphical glitch fixes that are the most important problems, it's the content.

I just think for the player base and for everyones gaming experience it's the best option.

We can do this.

Say we allow you guys to wear Dragon Longswords. When that quest comes out we will just disable the ability to wield that item. So if you are already wearing it, it will just go to your inventory or bank. (if both are full it would go to the floor)

Thing is I do support RR, not sure why you're saying that I don't. I believe making RR just feel like any other private server and no longer a remake by releasing everything would kill it in the long run. I also would love to help, but I can't do anything because I'm just a PLAYER that moderates. And obviously quests don't just "roll in", but I don't see how that pertains to the issue? The issue is the quest engine(which only Ryan can edit) and not the quests itself because there's already like 10 quests "fully" done and can't be released because they need the quest engine to do specific things.

Now if Ryan would come back and work on this at least an hour a week, we'd probably be fine, but he has 2 jobs and a girlfriend to worry about so nobody can blame him for living his life.  All I ask for is Ryan to come post here and give us his opinion on this issue.



Agreed

Are you agreeing that I should "support the server that you're a moderator on?" or agreeing on "Personally I think this would be the best direction to take the server, for now that is?"

Edit to reply to something I forgot to ;l

in 2 years from now, once more content is released, do you really expect to get a larger player base?

This question wasn't directed to me but I'll answer it anyways. I think if we actually release a massive amount of content and have paid advertisements on RSPS forums we might actually get a player spike and reach massive amounts of players. It might start off small but it might get bigger until it reaches its peak as people start coming and telling others about RR, you know but that's in 2 years and if the development puts extreme efforts.

I think that the way rr is heading is pretty bad, we were promised the sun in 2.0 and got the clouds. I don't really look forward to talks of big updates because they rarely happen, I think we should let the community decide with a poll. I don't support the open world but if it's what the majority wants, majority gets.

Edit: Even if scims, dds... are released there's no content/players to use them on. only training. Yeah, it'll be better exp but do you really need it? ruining the oldschool server.

Post by: Kevin on June 24, 2014, 02:37:13 am
I'm going to be honest with you guys. It is going to be a long time until we can get some serious content pumped out. James and I both work. Ryan has 2 jobs, and is a full-time student trying to pay off debt. He is the only one who can pump out the patches for the quest editor but not having time is killing this. I am trying to come up with a way that you guys can continue to play the game with added features now, instead of waiting anywhere from 3-12 months.

RuneRebels 2.0 was going to be massive. Hell, ask N0va, there are several quests that are either damn near done or started. I think it is on the lines of 20+ quests that are in progress with like 10+ of them that are nearly done. But lacking Quest developers hurts us hard, but not having a complete quest editor is killing us even more. Only 1 person can update it. Even if Ryan were to give James and myself access to the raw code, it would still take a lot of time to fix the problems we are having with the editor.

I am not trying to push you guys into doing something you don't want to do. If you are willing to wait it out we can, not a problem. I just want to let you guys know it is going to be some time from now.

Thus meaning that it's going to take anywhere from 3-12 months for us to even have access to these things due to quests. So you're willing to wait that long for vital aspects of the game to be released? Not trying to be a downer but there are remakes out there that are already more developed than us. A set back like this really puts us more behind the 8 ball.

I honestly think the more content we can have now the better. Improve the player base somewhat.

It might improve the playerbase, but those are the players we surely don't want to attract. Besides an increase of the playerbase at this current time is useless since it's going to decrease back down once they realise this server isn't the perfect remake they want, or they'll end up leaving for other reasons like that this server is 2x exp, lack of quests, lack of pking (presumably because it's 2x and everyone's really low level), lack of High scores because like competition, and many reasons.. For example if barrows is accessible, and someone got full DH it wouldn't even hit really high with low hp because it's not even coded in...

My idea would be to wait it out... It might sound dumb but during that time 2006Revived will probably be dead already or somewhat dead(many bugs, a dupe, glitches), and any other current remake too, so we won't have to worry much about competition. By the time Ryan comes back we can "start over" and start advertising for "RR's second release" or something like that to get players to come start playing, because we need players to come when we are in a positive slope, not in the slope we are in now. Besides the waiting method makes RR stay a true 2006 remake, which is the reason RR was even made.

It's not as if we need to attract "new" players. We just need something to boost the Mojo, if you will, of the server so that our current players hiding in the shadows come back and can enjoy the game. In the end we know when these things are worked on we attract new players but we are trying to improve for now and I think it'd be worth while to do this.

Also I think it's preposterous that you'd say that we don't want to attract a type of player. We want to attract every single player possible, Even the WoW ones. The more the merrier.

People are saying that we want to pull players in at a positive light - when the game is completed. My question is, if we aren't too concerned about advertising in the present, then why be worried about temporarily distorting the server's content and bringing in new stuff for a limited period of time. I mean come on, it's not like we'll pull in new players with this current lack of content anyways, despite how hard people work towards creating the server, it's developing at a slow pace.

And @Prayer, I'm to lazy to take the time to quote you, but in regards to your question about what I'm agreeing with, I meant I agreed with the idea of temporarily bringing content in, I wasn't bashing your decisions as a moderator, as essentially without community input and disagreements there would be no RuneRebels.

To be honest with you Kevin, I feel this is a situation that should be left to a poll.
Title: Re: You all knew this was coming...
Post by: Cucking Funt on June 24, 2014, 02:30:40 pm

Would there be any way to host a separate world to be specifically beta stuff?

Similar to switching between Members/Non-members on RS, the beta items wouldn't be usable in the Non-beta worlds and you wouldn't be able to log into the Non-beta worlds unless you're in a Non-beta area.

Or instead of sharing player accounts between Non-beta/Beta worlds, there could be separate user accounts?

Could you even duplicate user accounts to this hypothetical Beta world that would be kept separate from original user accounts on Non-beta World 1? I guess that would just make it a separate server right?

I don't know shit about how any of this works, I'm just trying to come up with ideas

First of all, I feel deceived..as Kevin said:

I'm curious. Would you guys be opposed to changing things around, making the server a 2006 server, instead of a 2006 remake? I am not going to make an official poll or anything. I just want to see your (The Communities) thoughts on the idea. (Not going to do it, no rumors just an idea)

and now you guys started  to talk about polls, changes..I don't like that.
In brief, I want Runerebels to remain remake.

And Prayer, im with you :) +1 for you.

First of all, I feel deceived..as Kevin said:

I'm curious. Would you guys be opposed to changing things around, making the server a 2006 server, instead of a 2006 remake? I am not going to make an official poll or anything. I just want to see your (The Communities) thoughts on the idea. (Not going to do it, no rumors just an idea)

and now you guys started  to talk about polls, changes..I don't like that.
In brief, I want Runerebels to remain remake.

And Prayer, im with you :) +1 for you.

Thank you.

Ah yes, Kevin said no polls, yet everyone wants one. I suggest a "test" poll , but it isn't going to be used other than to just view what the players want. And Muse, it must be hard coming back to no new content, yet still wanting this server to remain a remake by not releasing everything without quests, so yeah it's good to hear your opinion on this

I can definitely see you point of view on this subject. There's a slippery slope here, where would the line be drawn, etc?

Would there be any way to host a separate world to be specifically beta stuff?

Similar to switching between Members/Non-members on RS, the beta items wouldn't be usable in the Non-beta worlds and you wouldn't be able to log into the Non-beta worlds unless you're in a Non-beta area.

Or instead of sharing player accounts between Non-beta/Beta worlds, there could be separate user accounts?

Could you even duplicate user accounts to this hypothetical Beta world that would be kept separate from original user accounts on Non-beta World 1? I guess that would just make it a separate server right?

I don't know shit about how any of this works, I'm just trying to come up with ideas
42 is the answer to everything, and yes it is possible to have the same account buy separate banks, items skills etc ;)

Okay so let us speak theoretically here.

Let's say we leave the game as it is;
* No update
* No vital updates for an admitted 3-12 months.
* Slimmer chance of gaining more players.
* LESS for us to enjoy for now.

If we disable quest requirements;
* Update
* More aspects of the game accessible [Items, Areas etc]
* More traffic for the server as there is more content.
* If we get more of the existing players on we could gain more new players.

The main thing out of this is I just want to see the game grow collectively and get more players in-game. I know that these guys have worked so hard on the server so it's sad to see that a server of great potential is lacking a deserved strong player base. As previously said, this would only be temporary until the server is updated enough for it to be implemented. I don't see the issue in doing this.

This is I'm sure we don't want to attract lots of players in a time like this where Ryan isn't around.
Maybe just implement two places to try out that idea, like only Zanaris & Canifis

Adding dragon weps and stuff only solves short term issues. We'll gain players for a few weeks (Like when 2.0 was released) then the server will go back down to the player amount it has now. We won't gain permanent players until we see daily/weekly updates which most likely won't happen. All the things you want temporarily available only helps veteran players, not new players.

Let alone no one advertises.

I agree with what N0va is saying, I think we have a large player base but many refuse to play or play another server (2006revived, OSRS) due to a lack of updates. More consistent updates, a re-branding of rune rebels through a stronger marketing campaign would help bring players back.

I don't know why rush to release things though, RuneRebels in a coma, well almost on our last heartbeat (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7fAfzYP7CM4/TCd4ieA8hsI/AAAAAAAAAeM/X1AiCm0tIFM/s320/heart_beat.gif). Releasing whatever you guys plan on releasing without quests might give us a small rush, but that won't affect the fact that we're almost dead. Maybe just keep RR on "idle" until it can be resurrected by someone who knows what they're doing. The wait might kill off the last batch (http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000248477/polls_Cookies_2510_25171_poll_xlarge.jpeg) of players, but surely they might come back, and a new community might start off when RR is back on it's feet again.

I'll just stay here and be an apple.

Some people didn't seem entirely keen on releasing dragon weapons yet without quests, Zanaris itself offers a lot of new things to players. New slayer monsters, new slayer master, cosmic altar, and very close cow fields to a bank. Canfis offers the came, new monsters, access to colored robes, new slayer master, etc.

Thing is that requires an elemental shield, mind shield, or dragonfire shield, so it might be going the same route as metal dragons. Level 50's camping for dragon items without even getting a fire breathe on them, and because of our rates they did get a lot. Then again it'll require 72 slayer, hopefully, and that requirement will boost the amount of player who can't attack it leaving like only 4 people that could, which would be good.

Post by: Gornu on June 26, 2014, 12:38:47 pm
And how long does it take to get those levels?  A real grinder gets levels, doesn't give a lick about content, just wants to finish a character in maxing.  Most of us aren't exactly children anymore.  And those levels we work so hard on, when content gets around to be programmed, we'll come back.

I may like to get on OSRS, but most of the time I get on their it is either quests or levels, so....

I'd like to see that poll, and have it checked once again for multi loggers.  Then again, for content from quests there's still levels to grind up, and earning the items or areas is a rite of passage by those smart enough to earn them.
