Hey, Charr made a guide.


What's this, that was at the very end before the latest edit where he removed it?

An easter egg, eh?

...

You know what the "easter egg" was? The "easter egg" that you were supposed to find without knowing anything about it? Not even knowing whether it's in the text or in the pictures when he's talking about the longest post in the forum, considering that the letter limit needed to be increased for it. I'll make it easier to see, you don't need to look through the whole guide, it's in this image:


It's in there. Don't see it? I'll show you where it is in the image:


See it now? Still no? Here, I'll give you a hint, some of the pixels in that red rectangle are more blue than others, how much more blue? I'll show you a comparison in paint for what the colors are, here this is the color of the black background:


And this is the color of the "blue" text:


A whopping 1 shade more blue than the background. Sure need to hope that no one notices that one, especially considering that no one even knew where to look for it.

Oh but before I show what was in there, how about I also mention what Charr considers to be "hints", for when I did not know where to look, so what hints would he give me to narrow it down just a tiny bit?


...

Here I removed some of the background to show what the "easter egg" was:


Oh yeah... that would've been worth looking for and as you can probably assume, I did not find it myself, but not to sell myself short, around 18 hours after that conversation, where I asked him for hints, this happened and since I refused to look for where the text was in the guide, he did end up showing me that it was in that image.

There's also another "easter egg" in the same guide, that one had an actual Neo-Nazi message in it. But I did find that one all by myself (without him even saying that there was another one, but I knew him well enough to know that there would be another one due to how predictable he is) so I'm not mad about that one.

But seriously FU to Charr for the first "easter egg" and now close this topic.

They're not supposed to use chatlogs to fish for mutes. Unmonitored chats are great if you're a rulebreaker. The problem with the current system is that people don't bother reporting others and then complain that the staff team never does their job.

edit: it's not completely our responsibility to watch over everyone like little children, that's what we have players moderators and administrators for.

You're right. However given the way policy is right now if you want proper enforcement of the rules against offensive language you're going to have to make reports. Eventually people either learn that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing or they get outright removed for breaking the rules too often. Reporting people speeds up that process, which is good.

Make a rule so people are just allowed to only speak english, currently just creates a big barrier between every1 cus we all speak different languages.

You should actually be able to just walk back into the wilderness and pick the items up? That's how it's done in osrs afaIk.

Afaik, you made everything that is not tradable turn into coins upon death in wilderness.

Remove them completely and replace them with little maps that show you where to dig(X marks the spot), scan clues are absolute cancer at this point. Especially in the wilderness.

Everyone wants OSES. Grab the old code and make a trial client and see what happens?

I believe there was a talk about party option for minigames near the end of year 2016/early 2017 but it got buried out I guess.
I wouldn't mind seeing such a thing for bossing as well, could help out a lot now especially when we have our proper first group boss.

Pictures like that are very easy to make It's just a test so far as far as I'm concerned.
There hasn't been anything done yet and I doubt we'll see anything in at least 2 months from my understanding. It's absolutely massive project.

If something ever happens to world 2 we (Thomy) could try hype that up by holding back the ads for now and once something happens advertise then as "Emps-World Oldschool" grand opening or something similar that may attract players.  I understand that it's hard but if an opportunity opens up and there's nothing that would prevent it, why not? We as a community can also contribute towards that by creating ad banners.

Thanks for the feedback so far! I've read through all of your replies and found quite some contrary opinions.

I do realize that a global account / economy reset could work out, but I'm pretty sure that this is just going to make the game even less popular. We're not just going to reset the game, because something isn't working out. Some people have put years of work into their accounts. I won't just wipe out the account database (we have backups :kappa:).

I've also identified many suggestions that would make the game more appealing, simplify things or just make certain processes easier. However, I don't feel like changing tiny bits of the game will change the fact that we're still lacking players.

Alright then... I've thought quite a while about this and also hesitated posting a screenshot like this, but I'll give it a go anyway: Oldschool Emps-World. This would replace world 2 and be a new realm with new stats, items and spawns. The only thing that you'd share would be the friends list and account name. I've tried to load osrs data into the emps client to see what it would look like and it didn't turn out too bad:


If I continue this project, it'd mean that I have to COMPLETELY rework the game. Meaning all items, animations, interactions, etc. have to be completely rewritten. It'd be by far the largest project I've ever worked on. If I give this project a go, it would happen in small and incremental patches.

Sooo.... thoughts on this? It'd double the work for me, because I have to maintain 2 realms.
