    Was going to give it a try before I saw it’s x1. Why on earth is it that low? Offer other XP rates you’re only catering for a small corner of the community, if that!

    Agree with the guy above tbh, content looks great, would love to play but just don't have that kind of time haha, I respect other people will love it, however, I personally would love to play with a higher xp rate, but wish you the best of luck my dude

    Thank you for the compliments on the content quality. I understand if people don't have time to play and that most RSPS players would not play 1x. But RSPS players really aren't my target audience.

    If I was aiming for a short term high population server filled that rakes in dollar bills, I would have:

    -150x XP rates
    -High boss drop rates
    -A pay to win shop
    -Donator options with ::bank and other various overpowered perks, thus making donator status required to even play the game
    -Mystery boxes and gambling for all the gambling addicts (thousands of them in RSPS community for some godforsaken reason, very sad)
    -Custom bosses that don't require much effort to kill but hit really high
    -Super overpowered custom drops that make other content very easy to complete
    -Teleports all over the place to every single thing in the game

    All the things I just listed are, unfortunately, core features of successful RSPS and I am well aware what most players want them, but none of these features actually require any developmental skill or even a minor level of effort at all. That's why I really don't have much respect for RSPS players anymore. They settle for awful quality almost every time and absolutely worship some of the worst developers in the entire community simply for copy pasting a drygore model that drops from an NPC that has 50000 health and hits 300s in an AOE.

    Anyways, my target audience is actual Runescape players and fans who quit because EoC came out and just want the 2012 version of the game back. Not a typical temporary RSPS player that doesn't really feel like contributing a lot to the gameplay or community and just wants a speedmode of the game that either shuts down, has an eco reset, or declines in playerbase due to boredom in a year or less due to dividing the longevity of Runescape's system by a multiple of 100.

    It's an extremely AFK game and I think the default XP mode is designed by a very good balance team at Jagex and I believe it is the proper experience rate to offer on any remake that is worth its salt.

    Wrote a tool that can convert textures, materials, sprites, and models (including billboards, particles, and magnets) from RS3 format to 727 format so there can be optional additions from RS3 if players want them.

    Managed to convert over the master skillcapes as a baseline test and they look pretty solid:



    Highly doubt any player is going to get one of them any time soon!

    That's actually really nice. Would've been nice with more items if it wasn't 2012 Remake =(

    Just my two cents, but the people who were around in 2012 are very likely adults now, living busy lives. Not everyone has months or years to spare to get levels high enough to appreciate all the content in the game. As a result you will only be reaching players who have a huge amount of time at their disposal, which most likely won't be a large number of adult players. I feel like it wouldn't hurt to include a x10 rate with x0.1 drop rate to balance it. Maybe include a separate highscores for "legacy" players and one for "casual" players. Just a suggestion.

    I am well aware of the average age of those players. I am one of those adults myself. The game is entirely about the journey and progress to unlock higher content in the game as you level up. Higher XP rates just turns the game instantly into endgamescape which I am very much against. It doesn't take months of time to create an account to do bosses like godwars at all. RSPS players just have this very strange mindset of "You have to be maxed combat with high tier gear to participate in any PVM at all because that's what I'm used to playing these super overpowered easy servers".

    I have no problem with adding certain cosmetics (NO OVERRIDES) that players can earn through ingame play if that is what players would like to see.
