If you think about it, the map is huge, so knowing 8 small places means absolutely nothing.
This doesn't exclude any of the areas, they can still be used.

You guys have a higher chance of actually finding anything

Sounds like fun, I'll join, have some questions

1. Do you want us to ::devon and show coordinates?
2. Has Martin chosen the places or did you use something like an RNG to randomize their locations?
3. Can one person win several prizes?

• Full client must be shown in the pictures.

4. Do you want us to show our entire screen (i.e our toolbar) or just the client?

1. Not necessary.
2. I helped Martin with the 8 non-oldschool spots. Oldschool spots are chosen by Martin alone.
3. Yes.
4. Just the client, everything else is unnecessary. Tip: Use Alt+PrtScn, it copies just the open window.

A question :

Does the look of the NPC has something to do with their location? For example, Queen of Ice can only be found in snowy/icy landscapes?
Or has every NPC a random location?

Completely random.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Herb Farming

It would be a decent moneysink, if the Leprechaun would take 1k coins for each herb noted.
If you don't want to waste money, you don't have to use it. it's the matter of convenience.

Since falador herb patch is the problematic one (bank is too far), we could just make the Leprechaun teleport you to both herb patches.

I wouldn't mind either option.

Why not keep the hour like it was before? 4PM GMT is dinner time for a lot of people...

Someone must've missed the description

4-5 PM GMT is usually the time when our playercount is the highest, so why shouldn't we schedule events to such timeslots?
I'm sorry but we can't please everybody. There will always be people who are at a disadvantage due to timezones.

Events / Hunt of the Strangers!

« on: January 17, 2017, 11:50:39 pm »

Welcome to the Hunt of the Strangers!

Martin has decided to bring something new to Emps-World players with his new innovative event, where he forces you to spend hours on useless running amongst the lands of Emps-World. You will probably just waste your time and win absolutely nothing, but for the ones with no real life, there is a chance to be rewarded.
We will be re-releasing one pair of Bunny Ears and a Bow-Sword. In addition to that, we will be giving out some Mystery Boxes and Event Tickets.

The event:
It is a "Hide and Seek" based event, but instead of finding the hosts, you will have to find NPC-s.
10 unique NPC-s will be hidden in the accessible areas of Emps map, this includes any floors of all accessible buildings, dungeons, wilderness, member areas etc. Some of the spots require thinking outside the box.

All you have to do is find the NPCs and post a picture with them into this topic.
First person to post a picture of that certain NPC, will get its reward (1 winner per NPC).

A list of the NPC-s and their rewards will be posted below.

Rules/requirements:

• Every Emps player can join. This includes Staff members.
  
  • Magecrune is only allowed to participate in the Oldschool NPC rounds, since only Martin knows their locations.
  • Ironmen can participate, however if they win, mystery boxes and/or oldschool rares will be given to their non-ironmen accounts. Event tickets can be received on ironmen accounts.
• The screenshots must be posted in this topic.
• Full client must be shown in the pictures.
• Both your name and the NPC model have to be clearly visible in the picture.
• The NPC-s are all in accessible areas, so the pictures must be taken right next to them.
• Pictures must be unedited.
• Do not modify/edit your post.
  
  • If ignored, we will be using the timestamp of the last edit, which can lose you the first place.
• If you find multiple NPC-s, you will have to post in the topic each time. Do not edit previous posts!
• You can post pictures by just posting their URL-s, but we recommend to use IMG tags instead.
• Rewards will be given out when all 10 of the NPC-s have been found.

NPC-s were spawned in World 1 on Saturday 4 PM GMT! The event has ended!

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Making Double xp scrolls tradeable.

« on: January 12, 2017, 11:49:31 pm »

Since my idea was scattered between many posts and caused confusion, I decided to invest some time into creating a simple Pro-Con table for it.
This is a minor change, but the impact is considerable and the best part - it has no downsides.

The idea itself is very simple and very easy to implement.

Idea: Tradable 1-hour long DXP scrolls in EC store

Pro-s:

• Highly sinkable item with a high demand in EC store.
• Due to previous reason, fast source of cash via donating.
• Due to previous reason, more people would actually donate instead of risk while trying to illegally rwt for fast cash.
• Less unsinkable items are spawned into the game via donations.
• Ability to access DXP scrolls without actually having to donate. Not including people who cashed in their EP before the update and still had access to them.
• Skilling supplies being sinked more due to the increase of skilling.
• A select group of players is not highly rewarded unlike other ideas.

Con-s:

• So far none compared to our current version.

Everything that follows is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL due to the cons.

Idea: Old scrolls back to 20 minutes

Pro-s:

• The unfairness of the initial update is completely removed.
• The exclusiveness no longer exists, since they're available at EC store, while being tradable.
• Players, who had spent most their EP to hoard scrolls, are no longer rewarded via longer duration.
• People would get exactly what they initially bought from EP store. Bear in mind, they were already rewarded by getting a lot of DXP with nearly no effort.
• The old scrolls are sinked 3x faster. This isn't that important, however it will help in the future if complete removal is being considered.

Con-s:

• Players who donated for the scrolls and still haven't used them, would lose 67% of their purchase.
• Could be somewhat avoided by making an announcement that lasts for a period before any changes are applied to the old scrolls.
• Could be also done without the announcement, but in the same manner. A period until changes are applied to old scrolls.

Note: Even if the last idea is added, the damage will not be that extensive, because I'm pretty sure that the scrolls have been unpopular in EC store. I'm afraid that we can't check that but everything indicates to this conclusion. It shouldn't harm anyone in any way if combined with the announcement and delayed change.

Seems that multiple people don't see the rule changes when it comes to banning armour and weapon slots. Moved to bug reports.

Otto, I did touch on this as well, seems that no-one bother to read these:

We could make a week-long announcement to people who donated for them, so they could use theirs in time, without having to deal with the duration decrease.

The change back to 20 minutes doesn't have to be instant, it can even come a month later if needed. It would just level the playing field, removing the additional reward people got from hoarding. If the EC store scrolls are no longer related to these, there's no reason to keep the increased duration.

Even if we don't change the duration on all the old scrolls, not much would change. Most of them are stashed on abandoned accounts or owned by people who have quit. Those people do not need them, which is why they've been abandoned.

Wg Iron, it seems that you too misunderstood me a bit.
Nothing changes about the old scrolls (unless we change the duration at some point).
New scrolls however will have the new id and be tradable, these will be still at 60 minutes.

Scrolls shouldn't be simply removed without refunding the EP/EC spent on them.

I haven't said anything about removing scrolls completely in this topic.

You're drawing too much attention to the old scrolls again. They don't matter, my main point was never  about them. But we should still revert the old ones to their initial values (20 minutes).

I'll make it fairly simple to all of you, TLDR version of all the posts:
Main point: New scrolls in EC shop; tradable; duration 1h per scroll
Suggested change: Old scrolls back to 20 minutes

I'm against making the current scrolls tradable.

There's an easy solution to this however.
First to get rid of these old scrolls, change their length back to 20 minutes (or even less, 10 minutes or so).
Secondly, assign a different item ID to the scrolls in EC store and make these tradable (their duration should stay at 1h per scroll).
