Thomy didn't listen then and he isn't going to listen now.

Dozens of my friends quit playing this game as soon as they were unable to use the oldschool graphics any longer.

More quit the easier the server got with the double xp weekends and insanely inflated eco.

What made emps unique was the community, the fact that the server still had challenging enough xp rates to make it feel like you actually accomplished something, and just general lack of 'ez mode' shit like the fact that there was maybe 5 free teleports in the game. When now you can hop on any popular rsps and talk to some wizard and teleport anywhere you need.

The unique and rare items such as Lantys and scarfs and mime made a super fun end game flex for people to work towards. Having owned many of these items myself it was super fun to walk around flexing on everyone in my bunnies and mime and lanty.

Having fally as the central location was super cool although I will admit that part is mainly just nostalgia for me.

Having HD graphics in oldsxhool literally isn't an advertising point anymore. I can download runelite and enable the fully support HD 117 plugin and have the same thing. Or I can even enable full oldschool graphics with the awesome and super nostalgic whip model.. You can't even do that on emps now lmao you get this ugly ass shit that looks like a 5th grader modeled it and are stuck with it.

Ge totally fucked the eco tbh and should have been implanted with a tax. Or maybe other things did. Rsps always have garbage ecos but emps was actually quite decent back in the day.

Emps had some of the best pking available on a rsps back in the day and I wasn't even a pker I made probably 5+ pkers to use just to get my ass kicked cause it felt good and smooth

And of course. With dropping player counts. All the fun community things that I loved about emps are just flat out good.

Emps-scape held and still holds a very special place in mine and my brothers and friends hearts. It revitalized my love for runescape after having quitted after they added the 10x hits update. I loved emps. I love emps. Hell if thomy dumped a fresh start clean slate emps where I could spawn in barbarian village and buy some membership rings. I would fucking do it right now and I would dump literally hours into it. Grind doesn't bother me. I'm maxed on osrs on my main and am nearing maxed on an ironman.

The issue with that though.. rsps has changed a lot since then. And I'm not sure many would attracted to it. But... then again. Jagex said the same thing about osrs. And now it's the more popular of the two games.

I think what emps really needs is to go back to its roots. Improve on it. Add group ironman. Ironman. All the things people love about new osrs. But keep the things that made emps special as I discussed above.

Nothing in emps right now is nostalgic for me or fun. So I don't play. In fact lately I have been playing an entirely different rsps alongside my usual osrs grind. How sad is that... I literally dedicated years to emps and now I play a different rsps because nothing about this version of emps is fun to me. Honestly seeing it do so badly is just sad to me. Rsps can be popular still. Many are doing extremely well with player counts comparable to what emps had back in the day and also (importantly for thomy) very very very profitable.

I spoke up back in the day that the changes being made would kill this game and nobody listened. I'm sure nobody will now. Emps-world should be ran alongside emps-scape for those that enjoy it still but i see dozens of posts on here when i check in about people wanting emps-scape back. But for me. I won't be playing emps-world ever again. And with all the people that have asked for emps-scape over the years and have had their dreams fall on deaf ears I feel for you because the game we loved is dead and thomy seems to have no will or desire to actually listen to the feedback he gets.

You are starting to sound like me Charr, the only difference is that jumped on the bus ages ago :D

Obviously i think there is wayyy more wrong with the game than what you listed. But i will keep my mouth shut, as i have made my opinion heard before.

Going back to oldschool is a potential growth opportunity. If you do it similar to the way scape was, I don't see how it wouldn't bring back those old players.
I don't know how many 07 private servers are out there, but I know my friends and I are awaiting for one to pop up that has a large active member base before starting the grind (I.E. emps-scape).

@Crusher123

We had a signature of the week dedicated to creating an advertisement banner which would be used, you can see it here: https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=10546.0, I won the competition (and the rank of graphic designer) however the rank was removed from me due to "not using the banner anywhere" by Mary, I believe.

Anyway, I do believe we should have voting enabled again with items which would not affect the economy (so consumables, etc...). I know a few posts mentioned that it did not work out last time which is the main reason it got removed however, surely having it enabled would not harm the server? At least 1 new player would be better than none (if voting does not get enabled).

note: I have not read all of the replies within the topic therefore if this has been mentioned already feel free to ignore me.
Hey Ozzy we havent spoken in a long time man, hope you are doing well.

RSPS are just dying in general, although I personally believe with a combination of a voting system, more advertising, and the addition of unique features this RSPS could grow substantially. One of the things that made this server stand out from all of the others back before it was shut down was the fact that people had the option to use either the older style graphics OR the new style, a very unique feature in my opinion that would bring back a lot of veteran players, and attract new players that are interested in using one of the available styles.

I will be honest, I came back and played for a solid year after the re-launch of Emps, what finally killed it for me is the graphics style, and how easy the game had become with double xp weekends and other shit. When I originally started playing Emps the game actually felt challenging and I felt like I was actually accomplishing something by getting 99s. Now getting a 200m stat is easy as all hell in my opinion. The game just lost its sense of achievement for me, I have not even bothered logging in to get 99 construction because I know I can buy a couple of double XP tickets and get 99 in a matter of hours.... Whats the point?

Even things like rare items are near impossible to work towards anymore because the people that own the items hoard them and/or are inactive, another thing i loved working towards back in the old Emps days.

I now only login twice a week to flip items to build my bank in the hopes that something changes about the game that motivates me to come back, adding new content will not make me come back to the game, only a drastic change in the way this server is ran in comparison to the old Emps will. I have been saying this for ages now and nobody listens.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Staking cooldown
« on: February 04, 2017, 09:59:48 pm »
Staking is obviously becoming a problem for the Eco. I think something needs to be implemented to condense the amount of people staking also.
However, I don't think a cooldown is the solution.
Check out Charr's suggestion, it seems more fitting to me.
