RSCEmulation Players,

Our main goal when re-launching RSCEmulation was to bring back the once very popular, friendly, and fun server for you all to enjoy. We also understood it would be a great challenge given RSCEmulation's previous history, the current competition, and the limited amount of players still interested in such an old game, but we still felt it was a task we could accomplish.

With the amount of support you all have given us, we felt driven, and had a very passionate desire to keep pushing forward. As we attempted to keep pushing out updates, we ended up taking on more than we could handle, and began to fall far behind scheduled update releases. In turn, our players (you) suffered, the excitement every player had was diminishing rather quickly, and players lost the trust and hope in our success.

Admittedly we have "dropped the ball" one too many times, but that does not mean that we cannot recover, and continue the successful path we were once headed down. If you have lost trust in us as a team, we apologize, and hope that you can see the sincerity this post offers. We know there are a lot of people who dislike RSCEmulation and want to see it fail, but there are also a lot of people who have spent a lot of their time, money, and feelings invested in to this server. We want nothing more than to make things right, be given the opportunity to do so, and have the players who enjoy this server stick around because we know what we are capable of.

If you have lost all hope for RSCEmulation, we do wish you the best moving forward, and hope you will one day reflect on what great memories you have / had of this server.

Character Transfers:

After further discussion our staff team has come up with what we think is reasonable in regards to character transfers. To start things off we will be merging the "v1" database with our current, which will allow you the ability to log in to your old characters and continue where you left off. If you have forgotten your character(s) details, we will also provide a form which will allow you to recover your account(s). If the form still does not work, one of our staff members may be able to assist you, if you can provide adequate information proving the account is/was yours.

To answer the million gp question: "what items will we retain?" - Well we figured we would allow most consumables, 1 of your rare items, and some of the armor (this is still subject to change). We feel allowing a full transfer of gold and rares would be detrimental to the server, even know the state it is in now, is not the best.

Another question some of you may have is "Are you going to offer transfers from other servers?" - We are open to the possibility of transferring characters over from other servers as well. The same stipulations would more than likely still apply.

We also have plans to implement the old "v1" landscape, which will open up the ability to farm those beneficial areas (like the dungeon we custom created under edgeville), and also re-familiarize you with the game you all once loved (we know this one is a spin-off). In addition, we will be adjusting our drops, to further cater to the players wants and needs (pk gear, consumables, etc).

FREE PK Days:

We have also implemented 3 days a week where we will supply all armor, consumables, and gear needed to pk. The armor/gear you will be able to obtain will be colored slightly different, will be non trade-able, and will hold no value, but you will still be able to bank said armor/gear. This paired with our FREE stat panel should open up the ability to just log in and pk at any level, which is what most of you seem to want to be able to do.

Viking NPC:

Our viking NPC is still in talks as to the mechanics behind it. What we do know is that it will drop an extremely rare viking helmet, that we would like to place this NPC in the wilderness, and are negotiating a few other suitable spots that are non-wilderness for interaction.

We would like to thank you for the loyal players who stuck by our side, who continue to support us, and are open to hearing your suggestions in regards to this post and the servers direction. Please refrain from comments that are negative, slander or belittling, and try to offer some useful insight, constructive criticism and/or ideas and suggestions we can use to succeed as a community.

Thank you,
RSCEmulation Staff Team

Insane post, Pyru. I’m blown away at the new updates. This is going to be an EPIC time to be a member and follower of RSCEmulation. Free pking, updated drop rates, new NPC boss, landscapes; it’s all a LOT and everything we all need to enjoy our time here to the fullest!

I would encourage everybody to FULLY read Pyru’s post, as it contains answers to a lot of questions many of you have asked in-game. I hope all of you take advantage of these new amenities and make the most of it!

Happy Scaping!

Bringing over even a rare will affect things... Having nerfs in the beginning I've heard of since too much money was coming in, and to allow rares... I'm not so sure that's the way to go.

Adjusting drops further sounds like it may hurt skilling.

The poll was split down the middle (with a ton of votes, admittedly online polling can be manipulated). I'm just iffy on things. I want what's best for the server, but I feel like this will throw things off balance in attempt to save the server.

I'm of course in it for server's best interest, I've always asked the people who say on global "lol its dying" how they can help it grow. So this is coming from someone who wants the best for it.

I don't like to be that guy. but I am going to be that guy.

Talk is cheap.

Actions speak a lot louder than words, and unfortunately up to this point the words and actions do not match. I like all the ideas you guys have had and I like the vision you guys have moving forward, however I hate to get my hopes and expectations up. I have posted this over and over what this server needs is staff activity to help mods with events. supply items, gear, rares, ect... so they can have events. If you throw events people will come. enough of this we don't want to flood game or ruin the economy.... we need to be trying to make this game worth sticking around and worth joining if your new. No new players will join with the current cost of phats or other items. if staff cant be on to help with these things get some admins there are plenty of good players with a good track history. Blodz, Root, Murda, Fat Tire, and many more could do this.

What's the timeline on these transfers? All skills come over, so no point to skill if you have a v1 character? What about highscores, the people who got their levels on this version will be offset by those coming in, with possible set stat accounts (unless something was split, which seems kind of odd too, maybe not, i dunno).

If it gets more people playing bring it on, i only have 1 suggestion since you'll be importing all this wealth.

Put souls back to pre nerf values... let us (only 8 atm that can make them, half of which havent logged in for days) profit from our grind on this "fresh start" server.

Thieving is back to pre nerf minus a delayed batch speed.

Rc is the slowest/ hardest skill to lvl in server, and the reward is minimal.

#make runecrafting great again

It won't hurry the economy, if anything it will make it better.

We love reading each and every feedback of of you all in course of it staying on the "possitive or constructive" lines. I personally find that this server is hanging on its last final string that we are carefully balancing on, so with that being said and in mind..WE are putting our last big shot and attempt to make this update a successful and beneficial one for us all. So please stick with us and you will see that RSCEmulation is not over nor will it be done any time soon. Admins and DEV team are going to be focusing huge on this one and hope to crush it out by the end of the week. As for the events, us mods will do what we can to ensure you all are still having fun and enjoying our game features, even if it means the limited amount of time some of us currently have in order to log on at all hours of the day. We will come ontop again folks. Cheers

In regards to an ETA, we have started the process, and will continue to plug away at it daily until it's done. Skills will be transferred with characters as well. For our highscores, we are leaning towards having a drop-down, which allows you to select current version, "v1" version, and an "all versions" option which will show you characters based on your selection.

I will have to disagree with you. We haven't said we were going to do certain updates/changes and not delivered them. Sure we have taken A LOT longer than we have said we would, multiple times, but still delivered.

I have personally supplied multiple moderators with gold and rares, on a few occasions, and it still didn't do much but show how unappreciative some players really are. I don't put everyone in that category, only a select few. That being said our team will not let that deter us from throwing more events moving forward.

There are some good players which we will be asking to join our team when the time is appropriate. We do not need more administrators but having more moderators to support and entertain our players can be greatly beneficial.

Thanks for your input,
Pyru

Yeah I mean if v1 and skills are coming, they would need separated for sure. It kinda makes me not wanna train my main though here...
I don't remember my v1 username, I'd have to get with administration for it.

I just hope admin takes detailed steps in ensuring the proper owner gets an account, as social engineering is a thing.

An example below of how dangerous it can be:

I'm all for merging all the previous databases and the current into V1 along with everyones not-forgotten efforts+all items (it is only fair) to form one big ultimate server tbh. Not only will the economy be immense, as a result there will be huge amount of unprecedented ingame activities in nearly all main aspects of the game such pking, staking and skilling etc, as there will be huge scenes in those aspect that will lead to high playercounts and sub donations due to a very gigantic and active economy much like how basic economics works in irl, money attracts masses.

If done, the server will become a server that never sleeps, an active server at nearly anytime of the day as a result of a united community of all previous databases and other servers been combined here. One huge united community to stabilise the giant economy from flooding even with the amount of rare items taken into consideration from all databases. There will always only be a certain small percentage of players that have rare items that are far outweighed by the sheer volume of all the other players wealth combined, not even taking ingame goldsinks into consideration yet, the economy will naturally re-calibrate itself accordingly to the server's given economic climate in no time.

looking forward to updated drop rates making farming npcs valuable again would be great in my opinion some of us exlusively farmed npc's including black dragons demons etc and found it a complete waste of time at current rates, as well as that I have also suggested that you help bring back the 61 scene by eliminating plate klank switching ammy switching like we had on v2 but any progress along these lines is greatly appreciated by myself and alot of people I know simply don't bother staking because one guy we all know who ended up winning 100% of his stakes accumulating 80+% of rares making our efforts futile and a complete waste of time... continuing forward I believe increasing supply of rares etc progressively as needed will keep people playing and I hope everyone can understand if one person keeps winning and everyone else is loosing something isn't working! thats one of the biggest reasons for people to stop playing if there efforts are for nothing why bother right? thanks.

Thanks for replying pyru.. ya dink. Have we figured out what option is with names. People have stolen names and or used the same names over and over. Do we get to change names on recovered accounts?

Does anyone relaize how many phats have been lost already to ban. If they bring in 50 more who cares. Phats are actually at a good price right now. If playing the game for phats is your reason for playing... Just quit. Phats are not the game of RS but a small part of it. This server is very easy to make gp... People slave for 3 days and wanna quit because of boredom... It's definitely not boring if you play a few hours a day. Why grind for 3 weeks then be maxed out and bored. Take your time...

3 hours a day? Sounds like xp waste to me.
Who was banned that had hats?
