PK Guy

Pretty sure everyone who plays RPkz also played RS in the old days. Same goes for current OSRS players. Any new RS3 players look at RS2 the same way we look at RSC - it looks dirty as fuck. So they are all old players. BUT even if they did start bridding on an RSPS in 2015/16 then they must be really good to get where they are with only 1 year exp, right? As for the botted account accusation, I'll go back to my original point that they already played Old RS before, why wouldn't you bot instead of repeating the grind all over again like a slave? Especially if you just want the skills trained for quest item and ultimately the stats & gear to PK with. Shit vids with big XP kills? Nah man those are fun, nobody wants to see you KO someone by hitting a 2 with a whip because next man was out. And nobody wants to see fights where you/your opponent ends up tabbing. We watch to see those big hit kills because it is more entertaining to watch - particularly when those "big hits" are done on robes because you outwitted an opponent and they rightly got punished for the wrong armor on.

I think your question can be re-phrased as such: How long is a piece of string?

Nope. All players are equal regardless of length of time, these titles are basically meaningless except for fun. Knowing your places is as simple as : owner>admin>mod>ss>players. You're not above anyone...

Perhaps instead of various 'levels' of Veteran rank we currently have, we could only have one. This could be 3 Years+ For 2 Year+ it could be something like "Senior Member" For 1 Year+ it could be "Experienced Member" And Less than 1 Year just "Member"

Nobody got time to read past suggestions, so why not re-post? I might remake this topic tomorrow for fun...

You know too much

I don't believe you've only done one tournament and never staked. Because if that was the case you wouldn't be posting suggestions for content you don't use anyway.

Don't post it here (edit it out), it needs to be emailed to [email protected]

@PK Guy can vouch too!

Player will be dealt with accordingly!

Out of interest, how exactly did he scam you?

@I d0wn U Please help me with the answer. P.S. Everyone GL me, Pk Guy, for new #1 Pker (aka Level 99 Pking). It will be a long, winding road but hopefully with your game support I'll get there.

But you warned him though, and what if he didn't stop? I'm going by him saying that you said, "if u move ill kick u". So the point wasn't whether or not you did it, it was should you even do it? But whatever, there's no use for me to continue arguing. I've made my points, you made yours. Might as well let you have it, you win. I don't want ban!

You wouldn't.. it's PID... therefore you'd be gambling 50/50. I'd go so even far as to guess there isn't an active damage tracker to fairly judge fights that outlast the timer, and those again might be down to either PID or some other factor (eg current HP level). @Gretar please would you be so kind as to clarify, how those are decided, or would that be open to abuse? And if you do check this, then what's the official rule on the run/attack method? (An answer either way please, if you can)

So? That is entirely different problem, it has nothing to do with this topic! If you watched Looty in the tournament you'd know he was attacking not just running around, which I know is stupid but if people want to do it then I don't mind. Anyway, stay on topic: should mods kick people for running and attacking, which could or could not be around the spectator box?

It's combat because the one doing the running is turning back and shooting the person following them, and dealing damage. Opponent has HP bar over head, therefore it is classed as combat.... Seriously Sinister, that's like saying this isn't combat: Source: http://2007.runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Combat Hhhhhh

Gretar could have coded it to no movements and he didn't, he could have have added a rule saying no running and he didn't. Don't see how you can justify kicking players for a tactic you don't agree with. Some players request no smite, will this be a kick-able offence too? It's the same thing - using the games feature to your advantage... even if the other guy doesn't want to.

Moving isn't against the rules (I just re-read them). There is no unfair advantage involved since both players are able to do it, and it's not bug abuse either. It just annoys people who can't compete.

I wanted to make a post regarding this as well. You're absolutely right that this system is... well.. it's dog shit. First of all, despite it's name, I don't class this as a proper lottery! It would more accurately be described as a raffle. Many servers I've played, have similar systems, and just call it a gambling system, which it also is obviously. To everyone saying this topic is dumb and that putting more in should get you better chance to win, then you're forgetting something. The reason I call it a raffle and not a lottery is because: (a) there is always a guaranteed winner, 100% of the time without fail; (b) there can only ever be one winner, no more, no less; and (c) your chances of winning are directly related to the amount you invest (eg if you added 50% of the pot, you have 50% chance to win it) - nobody spends $500k on the lottery to win $1M though... think about that... so stop comparing it to "powerball" or whatever brand name licenced lottery uses in your country. Now of course, if there was a cap on the amount you could enter, or if the chances of winning were equal regardless of PKP invested (as suggested), then of course why would anyone put in more than a few PKP? Makes no sense. So it would be better to have a system that accommodates this problem without just helping 'the rich get richer.' On the plus side, the rich don't always get richer, particularly if they are bad at maths. Prime example is this player investing millions into the pot: http://i.imgur.com/CKU9NY9.png Profit made = -806.2k pkp http://i.imgur.com/oEKOJuE.png Profit made = -277.7k pkp Because the game calculates the contribution to two decimal places, my input of a modest 10 pkp, was rated 0.01% at 145k, and still rated 0.01% at over 1M+ pkp (could not go any lower!) therefore my chances it seemed were no longer diminished the bigger the pot got. IDK if this was strictly true or that the server secretly works very accurately but displays rounded numbers to us because it looks prettier. Either way if you ever contributed greater than or equal to 85% of the pot, then you definitely won't profit because of the tax thingy - which turns out is useful for this one purpose of stopping 99%'ers (or at least it would be if they knew what they did).

Format it

SMH Not even gonna ask how you found this weird shit...

Maybe I misunderstood the suggestion, but it seems to me all he is asking for is an in-game board where you can view the current tournament winner for each class of PKer. Therefore it will only be flaunted for a week, example tonight (Thursday) is Tribid tournament, so the winners (#1, #2, #3, etc) name would be listed from after tonight's final until next weeks final... This is a good suggestion, because sometimes I miss a tournament (or usually get knocked out early :p) and end up wondering who won it because I CBA to watch it all so yeah, it totally makes sense. Plus using an object/NPC to open an interface is a lot neater than the alternative (::checkwinners, and then it outputs in the chatbox).

1) Meh, I'd rather we had clues from PvM (IK, IK, we need more PvM right? Spare me). I mean doing clues properly, as in Treasure Trails! Basically every clue would send you to some random spot in the Wilderness to dig. It adds an element of risk (literally every item should save over clues, which are un-tradeable but lost on death - can be looted back). Also for bonus fun, when you dig at the right place a Saradomin Wizard pops up and pulls out DDS spec/Sara Strike combo's just for teh lulz.. defeat him for casket. Rewards as you stated. 2) This was my suggestion to fix the Tournament spectators area, and fighters running around the spectator box: 3) Hmm.. Well... since it's you D/S why not? I'll support this one 'til I die.. (meaning thieving stalls) +1

Sir, 3 paragraphs make a book do not.... doesn't even make a chapter, or even a page... here's another 3, enjoy... You claim you don't play the game but minutes later you post screenshots of you playing the game: (nice new acc btw: http://image.prntscr.com/image/d7404311e833416a9324bb4c5d9cae65.png) great logic there, Sherlock. You've clocked up over 11 hours of game time that you admit to, could be more it's much more, but whatever it still makes you part of the game regardless of how much you say it "sucks". [If you are who I think you are, then you have over 4k kills on your "main". But whatever, keep hiding pal!] And yes I am saying it would be easier to start over with a newer server source/base and re-build RPkz onto the OSRS platform (with character data migrating over to avoid a reset). However that is my personal opinion, and it's really none of my business how Gretar wishes to proceed through this current predicament, if he can manage to jam OSRS cache into the current system then that's awesome. I've had a real RS account since 2005 and started RSPS in 2009. I know RS combat like the back of my hand, I've tried coding some of it myself, no server can have it 100% perfect if that's what you're hoping for. But yes there are servers that are more realistic than this one. Never said there wasn't anything wrong with the combat, just said it doesn't affect me, if I lose a fight i don't blame the combat system or this game in anyway. Why? Because if it's bad for me, it's bad for the other guy too - that makes it a fair fight, we have to equally put up with it. (Sorry Boaty for shittingon your topic, but needs must)

What? Are you saying "we're jealous of your skill" isn't a valid reason? (inb4 mad kids cry @ me )
