Suggestions & Ideas / Re: What is going on...

« on: December 17, 2017, 01:31:22 am »

We are doing fine with our player count, RS Private Servers are already dead, and this one is doing fine compared to others.

Quite false actually. Emps-Scape used to be one of the most popular servers back in the day. As of right now I think it's safe to say it's below average.





These are just some of the examples of the servers out there right now; Note I had to browse quite a lot as I couldn't get the player count from many of them without logging in which I couldn't be arsed to do. These pictures are legit and just taken right now. If you don't believe it, I can give out the names/links although I highly doubt that's allowed around here; would make sense not to be which is why I took just pictures of the counts.

Point being that there are many servers out there with several hundreds of players online; Emps used to be amongst those servers back in the day however as of right now, as I'm writing this reply there are only 24 players online. Now I know that it's night time and hardly anyone is online at this time however I've seen it at its peak as well - a bit over a hundred was the peak in a long time and that was only after the release of Nex and I believe it dropped down again after some time.

I'm not here to bash the server or anything, just trying to convince you people to try some new strategies, new approaches. You'll have to come up with them yourself - it shouldn't be too hard though with all the "competition" out there that you could be mimicing in one way or another. There are actual PI servers (The base that was released back in like '06) that are doing better than Emps at the moment.
In case anyone's wondering why I left - It's simple. The graphics, as much as I appreciate the effort that went into building this client to the state it is, it just throws off for me. I can never get used to these graphics unfortunately, the problem being that it's too different from RSPS in general. I don't get the true RSPS feel when I play Emps (or played.. for a bit some time ago). Should have just stuck to updating server side stuff and kept client the way it is, I'm fairly certain Emps would be at a better place right now.

Simply reporting it to OVH and waiting until they look at the case is enough to suspend their dedicated server. OVH has strict policy against these things, a server of mine was already terminated after they found out I was hosting RSPS.

This is really not the problem here though, the question is how did Emps-World get leaked? I've seen a picture of it on Rune-Server.

There we go; PS: I'm 'Kris' on R-S.

Mind explaining to normal people like me what is he even trying to achieve there ?

Shouldn't worry about it, the given person is definitely not the one who managed to get the source; this given person has zero knowledge in development whatsoever. He was probably given it by whoever got the source in the first place.

But yeah, if it's indeed that old, there probably isn't much to worry about.

Update Notes / Re: Update October 6th - Glacors, Graphic Tweaks and Fixes!

« on: October 12, 2017, 10:48:06 am »

Fools like you are the sole reason people started leaving in the first place :LUL:

Haha , enjoy the 50 players daily kid. And everything is true about what I've said above. Fools like you doesn't have any idea about rsps games, so keep calm and don't response ur shit talks.

Please stop the nonsense... you are provoking people to reply such things. If you think that oldschool is the only way to attract players, fine you can think that, that's your opinion. However, please don't force everyone else to think that.

I disagree with you and most of the community does too.

That statement is rather weak. Obviously the community agrees with that but that's only because the community consists of people who were willing to deal with all these changes. The others quit - including myself. Basing your opinion on the fact that the community prefers new shit is just retarded, no offence. A lot of us check into Emps every now and again to see some changes related to this problem.
I'm not here to stir up any shit or whatever, but I've played/tried to play Emps during all its ups and downs. Even though I really dig the graphical changes and performance improvements - and let's not forget to say as a developer myself, I'm actually fairly impressed by what you've accomplished here - I still prefer the old feel of it all. I truly do believe you should focus on that old-school idea you've mentioned earlier. Even if it's not exactly the same as Emps used to be, I feel like it'll still generate far more players. There are still OSRS servers out there that have north of 500 players online at most times - do this with Emps, implement your own twist to it as Emps used to have, rather than the generic RSPS point of which.. You'll have a successful server just like it used to be back in the days.
Sincrely,
- Most of Emps-Scape players.

PS: Don't just think of my opinion as an individual one. I have been checking in on Emps once every few months since it re-released. I just never bothered to post my opinions. I can assure a lot of other people feel the same way.

General Discussion / Re: smash vs hack

« on: May 22, 2015, 09:30:50 pm »

Yes there is. Smash has much bigger accuracy.

If the smash grants attack XP, then it has higher accuracy. There's no longer individual attack bonuses for slash, smash and stab. They are all the same now.

I don't know about the latest updates, but it used to differ back when I played.
Nonetheless, I'd still keep on using smash. You're less likely to train defence when using smash, than when using hack (Switching from the maul to a weapon with just three attack options, like a bow, will select defensive attack style).

Damn, that sucks.
Maybe next 100.

Supply me with the resources necessary and I could make it happen, but for now, I'm poor as fuck.
