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.

The decanting NPC could be used for that. Add a 'Decant X' option and you get to enter the number of doses you would like each potion to have. Decanting noted potions would be really nice too. The current fee on the NPC is totally pointless lol

The only real memories I have of drop parties in emps were the ones that lead you to the skeletal wyvern cave to kill you and loot your stuff.

With the same logic we should disables minigames so that people wouldn't be able to leech off of non-ironmen in PC or CW.

Correct. Minigames are incredibly rewarding for ironmen starting off. It would be much more of a challenge if they would have to earn these items in a different way. I would actually like to see that, but that's a subject for another topic.

IMO it's a bigger problem (or at least was) that people can straight up donate for whips and other t70s on the day of starting ironman.

I agree. But that's been adressed, has it not?

Indeed, Otto had a different opinion about it back then tho

https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=17474.msg138226#msg138226

My personal opinion is that everything is fine as it is. Let people play the game as they want, whether they like to give themselves free tickets and/or dxp scrolls. Different people can enjoy playing the game in a numerous different ways, there's no denying that.

Charr's trying to argument his points from competitive perspective, and I personally don't give a fuck about that. There's no way of ''fixing the competition'' after this long time, especially the combat XP rates have been halved since the release. Then there's the obvious advantage you get from donations. People who started ironman on release were also able to get free dxp scrolls with EP.

If you want some competitive skilling shit added to the game, Charr, go suggest some seasonal shit which is based on base xp rates or resources gathered/used. That's how it's actually fair for everyone.

I'm just going to disregard every single suggestion made by you mentioning the words 'competition', 'disadvantage', 'advantage' and 'unfair' for some obvious reason everyone here knows.

Competition in this game is fucking dead and there's no way of changing that since dxp enters the game through donations. It could be helped with bringing dxp weekends back so that everyone has the same number of hours of dxp available per week no matter their wealth irl or in game. If that's out of the question, then don't bother at all cuz the system would just get destroyed even further.
