Here's a better idea.

How about individual P2P worlds that are dedicated to one 99? Could you imagine a 99 Fishing-only world? I do!

Maybe make it F2P as well, I don't know.

On topic though, the only things that look awesome for me is the auto-crushing Gargoyles as I pretty much can't do anything with the other stuff since it is mostly based off Magic which'll more then likely be my 2nd last combat-based skill I'll be training to 99. Nontheless though, the In Other News stuff is now growing more impresive then the main content itself.

<br />I love this update, 5/5.<br />I made a video about the updated stocks, it's 1198k profit in 8 minutes and you only need 64k cash to start with.<br /><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIFboSMS9j0' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.youtube.c...h?v=VIFboSMS9j0</a><br />

If you wanted to make sure you make good cash for a little longer before they nerfed it, you should've kept this info to yourself.

As YouTube is one of the places almost everyone goes to, they'll have their eyes peeled for this kind of stuff. When hundreds if not thousands of people discover this, they'll begin doing it themselves and thus the trick will be discovered by JaGex and'll then be nerfed.

It goes the same way with school/work-based proxies. Tons of people use it then the IT discover and block it, you've just become one of those people who spread it around.

I feel that when JaGex catches on, there'll either be a major decrease of items per pack, longer intervals for packs to restock, or the packs will be removed altogether.

I just want to point out, to those who suggested 2k+ worlds, there are just about 30k players who fall into that category. If you have one or two worlds like that, a lot of people would complain. They start small, and work their way up. They can make a few worlds in increments of 200 like someone else mentioned.

I think 2k+ is "too" exclusive. I've played this game for 8 years, and I'm still just over 1800.



PS, to the person who said they wanted an exclusive server for those who maxed overall... have fun with all 388 of you. Assuming you are all logged in at once, you can bring the server to 1/5 of its capacity. grats. Go buy a private server lol

2/5

Terrible update. There was only one good update where they allowed familiars to go onto magic carpet and balloon rides. And well I guess buying vials and things in packs. Rest sucked.

[gilles336]

I dont get why the 'noob free' worlds are based on skill total. I'm almost 134 combat but my overall is hardly 1800 so if they ever make 2000+ total worlds non skillers will be neglected as usual.

[cookie ko]

Skill worlds should have a higher Total lvl/xp requirements. Champion scrolls are kind of useless and so are hairstyles.

1/5

[Slamajama]

With the recently released "adventure logs" (well, leaked haha) they show how long users have been playing. Why not base a sever off of that, combined with your blackmarks? If you've played over "x" hours and have under "x" blackmarks you can get in. Eh?

Why does it matter how exclusive a world would be, the only difference between that world and an ordinary one is people who can access it don't have to be swamped with noobs. I pure essence mine so much and every day i get someone asking to see my cape emote, ask what abyssal demon does, get asked why i don't have this or that and what pickaxe i'm using and is it better than another pickaxe and also why i even mine pure essence at all. I ignore most people and that ends up in them flaming me for thinking i'm too good to talk to them or because obviously i must be a bot. All i want is some peace, and to get away from all these questions.
Would be nice to have a world without the hassle of people asking question they could research themselves such as on sites like this one.

I really hope they have a 2k+ world. I doubt they would consider a maxed out world because its not in their interest to maintain a serve only 300-400 people can use. If this is a test by Jagex, its a pointless one, so many people can use the 1000+ world and very few pros will think of it as a pro world, as its not noticeably different to any other world really. It would be far more telling to have had a 2000+ world and to have seen if it was worth maintaining such a exclusive server.

Didnt like the rest of the update that much, i sort of think the imp banners are nice :P

Judging from the scrolls that you guys have gotten, I may assume that they are not as rare as some of the other scrolls.

If so, that's fine with me, since the sense of achievement of completing the minigame beforehand wouldn't be thrown to waste moreover, the new champions would probably be worth defeating now.

The reason I include black marks in there is because people were looking at these worlds to be more "mature worlds" and most would argue that black marks are, to a degree, an indicator of it. And now that Jagex "supposedly" clears them out after a year or whatever, older members whom had behavioral issues in the past can eventually get a chance to be put into the worlds too.
This is how I see Jagex doing it at least.

You don't want to make too many of these exclusive worlds, it will isolate a lot of players. Many people will resent having worlds that they cannot get on to, and some worlds would be a waste of a server.

Also, black marks is not an indicator of maturity, I have black marks that I got on my account 4-5 years ago. I would say that I definitely am a mature player now even if I wasn't back then, but I would still be banned from the so called "mature" worlds. I think skill total requirements is a good idea, and probably one of the simplest (and best) methods of judging maturity.

I do want to point out, and I mean no disrespect by this, that you are playing an MMO... Meaning there will be people everywhere. This is not intended to be a game where you are just left alone. That somewhat destroys the whole dynamic of the game.

I do understand where you are coming from, but if you are already ignoring them and their questions, then why can you not continue to ignore them when they flame you? You will have questions asked of you just like I will, despite being level 125 and having a skill total of 1815. It is an aspect of an MMO where people will ask questions instead of just learning on their own. That is the same with the real world. You can't just "switch servers" in the real world when someone is asking you an answer to a question that they could find out on their own if they took 5 minutes to figure it out.

Seeing as a 2k+ skill world would make it less likely for you to be asked questions, it may also give people with 2k+ an advantage in game play by being able to be on a server, or servers, that have fewer people and thus have less competition for resources.

These are just a few points I'm making. Feel free to counter my arguments.

Yes, that is very much correct. The amount of players in the 2000+ skill worlds would be rather small, thus making less competition for hard-to-get resources like Runite, but ask yourself this: Where is the fun in that? You have to admit it sometimes, the competition adds life to this game, at least it does for me.

I'm all for just a small number of these worlds being created, I agree that we should have too many of them. I was under the impression though that the 1000+ skill worlds were a test run, and would be altered themselves.
And I thought black marks were being removed if they were old Just a thought however. I'd like to see amount of time played factored into the worlds somehow. Perhaps it requires 2000+ total level OR played for a year (according to the adventure logs). Again just random thoughts I had

[Aeons_Decay]

I just finished the gnome champion. I think I was the first person to do so?

Rewards:
Banshee: 1050 hp/slay
Spectre: 6k hp/slay
Mummy: 473 hp/slay
Gnome: 520 hp/slay

After beating the gnome you also get 4 scrolls of knowledge which grant combat exp. I don't want to use them because I'm an initiate pure and I don't want to be given defence as a reward if they do that. You also get 50k cash.

That's amazing . How long did it take to get all the scrolls?

[Lord of Pkay]

Looks like a pretty poor update... The "Other News" is better than the main update.

[Arno]

Am I the only one who thinks the "In other news" updates are far more interesting than the main Champion update?

"Two worlds have been designated ‘Skill Total’ worlds - that's world 113 (free) and 114 (members). Only players who have a total level of at least 1,000 will be able to log into these worlds. If this proves to be popular, we can always add more worlds."

"Yanille has had more points of entry added to it in the form of a new ladder and doorway. "

"An altar has been added to an upper floor in Falador Castle for players to recharge their Prayer points at."

"Slayer Masters have now been given a right-click ‘Get-task’ option to speed things up a bit. You can also find out how many more kills you need with a right-click option on enchanted gems, which will even work if you are currently in combat. Finally, gargoyles have a new ‘Smash’ option when they're near death to allow you to more easily finish them off with a rock hammer."

These are all great, small updates! I couldn't care less about Champion scrolls.
