Why the change to this?

[Dan]

Correct me if I'm wrong, because the state of the server hasn't really gotten me interested enough to poke around any more, but I have yet to see a single person with any vesta, morigans, or statius. Is it not in the game now? That's part of what I meant for variety. Also, we had chaotics & streams, although they probably should've been nerfed in damage a bit. Korasi, ect.

Custom dungeons such as the mage bank dungeon for d plate, the Korasi dungeon, ect. Risk vs reward, more variety, more fun.

In terms of pking, basic shit shouldn't be difficult to get and take a long time. It's basic. Rigour, augary, torso, void, all take too long. It's just basic gear.

People shouldn't need to voice about simple things like a functioning agility course. Palidino should just have it working on his own. It worked in BS2 (After weeks of multiple people bitching about it)

Edit-Also, the fact you can't turn bounty hunter off is just stupid.

It's an old school runescape private server. We have all the relevant items in osrs aside from raids 2 drops which will eventually be added with the release of raids 2 to the server. The items you're thinking of like chaotics etc. all have slightly better balanced equivalents in osrs, perhaps do some research into what items are available, like the occult necklace, tsotd, armadyl crossbow, elder maul.
PVP weapons are in the game with a very rare drop rate from wilderness bosses (custom wildy drop tables), the armours do not exist in oldschool runescape as the community voted against them.

Over the last 1-2 years there were many updates to try and target and encourage pvp, none of them any noticeable difference. Pure clans have come and gone as well as some mains single teams, on the W1 server which is essentially a copy of the W2 server, with a slightly easier economy. By all means suggest what you think would attract a hoard of pkers, but I don't expect there's anything we could do to get the sort of numbers you expect, the truth of it is that osrs is easy and accessible, and most of the players who used to pk on rsps, now know how to train and do it on a osrs account, and do so.

Rigour/Augury are rare drops, as they are on osrs, void and torso don't take that long, however they are also bis items so a bit of time to get them is understandable imo, it's really not much different in time to previous versions of the server.

Lots of activities are in the wildy atm and not that popular, wildy slayer is the best exp and drops for examble, the wilderness skilling area provides multiple bonuses and is the best location for several skills, I've literally never seen another person in the wilderness skilling area aside from people who teleport to targets. Wilderness agility with custom xp rates to make it the best location is a good idea and has been suggested several times before, but at the end of the day there aren't enough pkers for it to make much difference, it woudn't become a pvp hotspot, it would allow the <5 pkers that do play to kill the occasional guy for his 5 super energy potions.

Regarding bounty teleport, seen as there are barely any people pking, the bounty spell allows them to find people, we have tried having a toggle for the bounty system, but it only drives away the few remaining pkers because they have to run around pvm spots for 10 minutes to find someone.



TLDR: We'd like more pkers but we don't know how to get them, and you seem to have missed a lot of things about the current server.

You keep saying it's the same as OSRS. How's that working out for the server? Kind of my point buddy.

in 2012, which was more popular? servers that emulated the 2012 game, or servers that emulated the 2006 game and received no new content? 2012 servers. The same situation applies here.

All 90 players must agree with you on that.

Agree to disagree then, I'm confident the server would have less players within a month if we reverted to a pre-eoc version.

[AVOIDER6969]

they decided to attempt an osrs rsps since pali ran the previous (and every other) version of bs into the ground. You should probably stop making these sort of topics because they wont revert.

Edit: i also think even if pali was to revert back to an older battlescape nobody would bother coming back due to palidinos reputation of neglect and laziness

You're delusional if you think you could bring back the same numbers in the community in 2018.. The fact is Battlescaped peaked before Old School Runescape even existed, it was the best alternative at the time but now they don't need that they are playing the real game and will continue to do so, they have no need to play Battlescape anymore. Nothing you can do with the server will ever bring back those times and those are the facts unfortunately.

I didn't say that. Look again.

maxed accs on osrs and gp is cheap enough to where $150 you can get a good acc and tons of gp, people just buy shit nowadays. I can understand why they rather pk on osrs and spend irl money instead of a private server. Bs was active when osrs wild was dead, now its not dead, people choose the easy way and buy 07 accs and gp.
