In all honesty, more content. Rsc is tiny in the scheme of gaming now. Use maps from legends quest underground, underground pass, temple of ikov, and put new npcs in them. Locate them in wild, or anywhere. Make it so you need certain lvl skills to get to the new npcs. Example: underground pass already has mining and agility reqs, use those but make it higher. I say use existing maps because it has to be easier than creating new ones. In all honesty who goes back to the dungeon in legends quest after the quest is done? Use the same map but make the entrance under seers or in wild. Put a cool new high lvl npc at the end of it. More content.
Rs2 and rs3 struggle with the same thing, end game content and those worlds are huge. People max, get bored and stop playing. I think the same thing has happened here, minus the max part. People just get bored.
I know a lot of people don't want this to be rs2, and i understand. But you'll always have the 3 round combat and pking. We need more stuff to do... more unique places to train and skill, unique bosses.
It's too late. devs fucked up... 2 updates in like 3 months. People lost interest.
I feel this is a bit inaccurate. We did take too long to deliver updates in a timely manner, but the competing server has also failed to deliver frequent updates and changes. Moving forward, we plan on delivering more frequent smaller changes/fixes/updates, rather than massive and time consuming ones.
Aggressive advertisement and server promotion showcasing our updates as well as the desired classic content. Suggestion forum has lots of good improvements I would like to see but priority should be promotion and stabilizing player counts. Increasing the amount of active players will lead to more suggestions / ideas to pave the path forward.

This. I do believe the potential for a higher, stabilized player count is out there as long as the advertisement is attacked aggressively, as you’ve mentioned. This is also something we as players can participate in. Great suggestion Root.
I for one think it would help our economy if there were more resources dropped by npcs. (ore, bars, fish, ect....) the guys that are skilling are having a hard time getting resources with the lack of players and this leads to a decrease in players. I also think we have seen a drop in online players simply because ppl are no longer training 4, 5, 6 chars at a time we have finished chars. I know you guys have been interviewing mods, but I cant stress enough there needs to be a mod on at all time or as close to as possible. Give them rares have them throw events. I don't care if this floods the rare market to be honest. for whatever reason pixels get us all excited no matter how many there are in the game. implement a daying lottery where you get a random prize, from trout to phat. something to get excitement. Pk nights with themes, such as lvls or dueling night. would rather see these things tried and failed than see nothing at all. When I think of the best days of v2 it was the event mods doing most the work not the devs, let us help you but we don't have the gp or rares in the game for players to donate for these events that's where we need your help
I also think the community has some responsibility. We have to improve our toxic ways, (me included). If someone kills you don't flip the fuck out. if you kill someone don't be such a cock. We all love this game or we wouldn't be playing a 20 year old game right? So why do we treat each other so shitty? In the end blaim the devs all you want we ruin servers the way we act faster than anything.... I am the pot calling the kettle black here and I am trying to improve but we all need to do this. love you Mike
What if we did a week-long PK event that was entirely free? Hear me out here.
- Create an NPC that hands out a "special" sword with the same stats as an R2H. - If this is not possible, make it so that Bronze 2-Handers temporarily carry the same equipment bonuses as a R2H. This way, if the coding is too much to do for implementing a new temporary "event sword", everybody can just smith their Bronze 2hs at their leisure to fund their cost of PKing. - Leave the food handouts as they are, to ensure that no additional product come in and flood the market, causing inflation. This could also lend a helping hand at fishing skillers to boost the economy a bit.
This would encourage the spike of PKing, even if temporary, and in return you're sure to have at least a few new players that actually stick around. At the very least you generated a little more excitement throughout the community event wise while also showing the Wilderness some fresh faces and some love.
Probably not my best idea, but just brainstorming here. Cheers.

totally agree with flooding the economy with pixels. You had record highs online when..... you had a week long drop of pixels! Active mods seem to be a problem since theres no events. Give mods a special banker for events with all sorts of rares/gp/pk gear. Monitor it! Trade logs, video evidence of event + what was won. Theres no harming this server anymore with rares as 1% of the population holds 95% of rares.

Agreed, better yet, do it with new colored phats. That way old rares maintain value, and a new rare has increased value which will level out the more of them are introduced.
PLEASE do not transfer banks. Accounts, maybe if combat only. It'll also screw up high scores and give me no reason to skill currently, may as well wait for my 1700+ rev account, ya know what I mean? Limited transfers at that.
Banks are no go. That will flood and thereby ruin the economy. Several, SEVERAL thousand rune sets, alched, tons of GP ingame, PK supplies coming in, no reason to skill. Skillers provide PK supplies.
Transfers are risky - banks will kill the economy. Please take this to heart, I've been an advocate for the server since I've joined, and will gladly discuss this in greater detail.
Btw also just have to keep in mind, what the community wants isn't necessarily best for the long term health of the server - nobody would turn down free items if offered, even if its not good for the longevity.
will this include xfers from rsce v1 back in 2010? 😮
Possibly. Thing is, 2010 was "v1", then there was "v2", which will include a lot of duplicates. We will have to remove duplicates from the databases combined.
