Cox

I've seen that name before, but I've never played or heard of Atlas before coming to these forums, so I think I might have seen you on another RSPS. Anyway, welcome to the server and looking forward to seeing some quality content!

Hot dam these are spicy??? Gimme dat purple heart!

You won't get it unless you played Ikov ?

My dude if you open earlier than the server, I'd love to utilize your services for a signature if you'd be hard-pressed to do one for me. Anyway, I'll be checking back here to see when you're open for business!

Anyone who came from Ikov knows that TOB is safe on there, but what are your opinions in regards to this server? At least on Ikov they had some other bosses outside of OSRS that posed a serious threat to an HCIM account, but for a strictly-OSRS server it might benefit from shifting that HCIM-killer to TOB as it is on OSRS. This isn't in suggestions because I'm not suggesting it at all, and also at the end of the day they've probably decided one way or the other but it's not about that. I'm just curious about whether you personally would rather see TOB as safe or dangerous content for the HCIM grind in an RSPS. Edit: I lean towards safe, but that's because I suck at that content lol

Hang up the jersey in the hall of fame

Weird way to attack me personally instead of going right to the point, but that's alright. Get over it Ollie, you're not going to get your way here because let's face it, you don't sound like someone who will be eager to financially support the server or even support it on a fundamental, positive-vibe level. There are a variety of reasons for why someone would donate to an RSPS, and I happen to know that some do it just for that bright yellow lettering and the symbol next to their name. Whether this agrees with you or not is irrelevant unless you plan on funneling money into the pockets of the developers. If you don't want to have a donor symbol anywhere on your client for whatever reason that is, don't donate and hide your yell and public chat.

Welcome Kip! Love your pic haha, favorite poke since red n blue btw!

To be really honest, no I don't actually support being able to toggle donator status on and off. The point of someone having the status is to represent that they contributed in some way to the server. I don't understand why people are quick to strip them of a little cosmetic flair by suggesting you should just be able to toggle it off. You may not like to see it for whatever reasons you have, but the point is that it's a status of recognition by the server team for supporting their server and I highly doubt that they are going to be so happy to turn it off because you want it to look more like OSRS. Look at it more like a status of recognition/achievement and then understand why it seems a little counter-intuitive for the team that designed this system to turn around and offer an easy way for people to ignore it and take away even a small amount of incentive for someone to seek that status in the first place. Imagine if you could just toggle off custom cosmetics or things like that with the press of a button. That really devalues the item because let's face it, people go for status things in Runescape and RSPS' in general to show some sort of uniqueness in their account. If you want something to look exactly like OSRS and feel exactly like OSRS, then you're always going to be told to play OSRS.

David will probably answer this with way more specifics than I can provide, but I recommend checking out their other server "Ikov" and go to the "Store" tab to get an idea for what kind of items are typically offered in an RSPS store. Very rarely is there best-in-slot offered even in mature servers like Ikov and David has already made it clear that they don't plan to include game-breaking items such as those in their store. But, you usually find miscellaneous things like small amounts of skill supplies, average gear for PvMing, etc. that they may choose to release at a later date to not give an unfair advantage. Trust these guys, they know what they're doing. You don't build the #1 RSPS and then decide to tarnish your legacy with some cheap follow-up project. They've put a lot of money into this release and you can be sure that they aren't going to risk the success of it over the donation store. Honestly it wouldn't even surprise me if they only allowed cosmetic purchases (like customs) to be available for the first 2 or 3 weeks to satisfy those gamblers that don't want to grind PvM for coin and just wanna get started day 1 on being eco holders. I'm sure they know ways to generate money to maintain the server while also satisfying those hardcore competitive grinders that want an even playing field for the first 2 weeks of grinding for exp and loot. Cheers!

I mainly watch YouTube videos these days since stuff is usually just in the background, but some shows I have watched that are pretty good are: Breaking Bad (if you haven't seen it already) Better Call Saul (pretty decent drama spin-off of Breaking Bad) Rick n Morty of course lol Final Space

True, but I came from the owners' other server and it's the same dealio there and it's perfectly fine (and probably has more content since it's a combination of OSRS and pre-EOC). Sometimes when you add too many sub-categories people start to avoid forums because you get lost down a rabbit hole. No one wants to search through the PVM section to find an ice demon guide and turns out they posted it in video guides so now you gotta go through there too, you know what I mean? It's better if it's just PVM, skilling, miscellaneous. If you're going for a price guide then you know it's not gonna be PVM or skilling for example. If you're going for the clue scroll guide you know it won't be PVM or skilling, etc.

That makes a lot more sense! Thanks for clearing that up.

Personally I find it easier with the 2 specific sub-categories and the main category that could house the other more miscellaneous guides. At least I know for sure if I'm looking for a skill guide then I'll find it and a PVM guide I'll find it and all else will be under the general guide category. I can't imagine that there will be such a crazy amount of guides that we will need to branch out. I'd love to see ALL guides come with some kind of video component but of course I wouldn't ask that to be a requirement because not everybody has the appropriate set-up to do that. I heavily support keeping the appropriate guides highlighted and pinned like the clue scroll guide when it comes out, raids guides, those kind of common ones because we know that people are going to be going for those the most! ?

Welcome bro! Looking forward to seeing some yell announcements of you smoking people

I remember watching a YouTube video a week or 2 ago about why people always come back to Runescape and it's not about it being just another game you could play, but it offers so many different pathways to enjoyable gameplay. You can literally create whatever grind you want, be it weird or quirky, and you can pursue that goal while someone else plays the game entirely different to you. Idk, I just love that variability! Kudos to you being able to max on both of the main game modes! That's a darn good achievement

I can't believe GTA has been riding high on the same game for 8 years. When the heck is the next installment gonna come out? lol

Dope name for an HCIM

Ye, I can't tell you how many times I've made a new account just for the "fresh" feeling of the beginner grind, but inevitably it grinds to a halt when you're killing dragon or giants for 16 hours a day passively only to get 1 decent rune a week lmao, no thanks

I love Forza and I actually played the last Spiderman game and had sooooo much fun with it. Spiderman GTA version pretty much lol

I'm pretty excited to see more next gen gameplay. One game I'm so amped for (although a little apprehensive of after Bethesda's up and down track record lately) is Elder Scrolls VI. I really hope I can play it on PC but who knows what kind of exclusivity looms in the near future. As consoles get more expensive, I can imagine that the money they have to offer developers for exclusive access goes up and up too. Also, it seems that it always comes down to the quality of the exclusives in the console wars. Better to have both if you can get em!

Some of you have been mentioning your history with Runescape in your intros and I'm curious where a lot of you are at in regards to your experience with Runescape. I started playing Runescape in 2004 when I just started middle school, and by the time I was in grade 10 or 11 I fell away from it until around first year of college. By the middle of my second year of college I got banned on all of my accounts for being involved with Dragondyce and lost billions of GP, many phats and the rest of my motivation to play that game in any capacity. At release of OSRS I played for the hype for a few days but promptly quit and didn't return to RS except in RSPS. Anyway, what does your Runescape journey look like?

Oh dam I just saw this, wow we probably started within a month or two of each other lol! I know that a lot of long-time players steadily quit as things become stagnant so I can understand if you quit already

I like the sound of that as well! Would be much more interested playing a server event for the chance to make any 1 or 2 character name I wanted for 1 time only. Hell ya!
