Guides / Re: Guide to the demon bosses, part 1 - Kal'ger

« on: August 13, 2018, 11:35:02 pm »

I didn't want to be like a certain someone who went on to write a novel on nex

Thanks for not doing that, it looks like a nice guide after a quick read-through, I only noticed a few mistakes with grammar (mostly unnecessary apostrophes after the word "its" and some capitalization mistakes), but other than that the guide seems mostly on point (personally I'd prefer if there was even less unnecessary text, but that's just me). I haven't killed Kal'Ger myself yet, so the only mistake besides grammar that I could find was that there was a small change to the drops a while ago and the demon items are a bit more rare now, which brings me to the point that instead of including them in the guide, it might be best to link to the Wiki page for drops instead (or if you prefer having the image, then perhaps link the image to the Wiki page, as the links for items are clickable there, allowing people to find out more information about them if they need it). The drops on Wiki usually are the first thing to get an update after major updates to the game, so if there's another change to the drops then Wiki would be the best bet for finding the most up-to-date information about them.

Feedback / Re: Voting shop.

You have a point here, however lets not forget about where our ' Risky ' decisions has lead us to i'll throw it here as a reminder and won't mention it again
https://imgur.com/oX3O9fS.png


I am not trying to turn this topic into complaining about things that has been done before
however I am trying to show them as some examples where each one lead to people leaving because we didn't listen to them.

every vote counts,
I don't see people around abusing vpn just to vote more since it doesn't worth their time.
what i am trying to achieve is more people using vpn to vote which could get us a decent amount of votes.
such thing is impossible to achieve without Thomy listening to what his community likes.

we could possibly end with a worse economy than we have these days, which is something might be a bit risky however we can't lose more than what we have already did.

It would be impossible to have a balance where it's both worth abusing vpn and the rewards aren't too good, because the only time abusing vpn is worth it is if the rewards are too good to not miss out on the opportunity. The problem then is that if the rewards are so good that it's worth abusing vpn to get them then it wouldn't take too long until people get a lot of those rewards and the rewards stop being so good to make it worth continuing to abuse vpn, which means that it would be a short-term solution. I'm not necessarily saying that we can't do it, but we need to keep in mind that if we do then we'll know beforehand that we'll either need to undo it after a short while or make the rewards even better.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Future icon ideas

« on: August 10, 2018, 02:45:13 pm »

We could add voting icons that get reset the first day of every month (or just last 30 days) and the requirements to get those icons would be to vote 25/50/100/200/400/800/1600/3200 times in that month (or the last month or the last 30 days, whichever you prefer). The idea being that it's possible to abuse VPNs to vote and we want to encourage that, so we could make the highest icons only available for those who do, whereas everyone else can get the lower icons rather easily as well.
Might get people more curious about voting when they see someone with the voter icon and wonder how to get it or it could just remind people to vote so that they get their own icons.

Let's see.

TL;DR: Nothing, Charr has done nothing, ever. Not Charr did nothing wrong, but Charr did nothing at all.

How do you quit? By not being a drama queen.
If you feel the need to blame others for your supposed decision to quit then why pretend that you want to quit at all?

If you want to be a forum dweller then be a forum dweller, if you want to return ing then return ing, no one cares. People will bring up you being a drama queen to push your buttons but no one who does that actually cares either. We're a small community so you don't even need to announce your return, someone will notice and let everyone know.

But it's funny because he despises me, yet he always mixed me up with you. :thinking:

The bastard called me a Muslim once because of you... you're lucky that he didn't know where I was from, so he didn't think that you're Estonian or anything.

We're getting kind of off-topic by talking about Charr though

You always try to change everything around you, but just remember what got you and everyone else playing, it was the way everything is, not how you see it should be. Your personal hate against me is brought out very well here, as i'm the only person whose name you mentioned in the Entire topic. FYI i never wanted you to dislike me, quite the opposite actually, i enjoyed being around you and wanted to get along with you, i even agreed to fulfill some of your demands/suggestions which i hoped would satisfy you but your personality and radical solutions made it impossible to work with you.

I said this to For Freedom when he asked me for advice on becoming a mod and thought that becoming friends with Charr would help and now I'm saying it to you and anyone else who might ever want to befriend Charr. The way to Charr's heart is by telling him that he's wrong. Charr loves criticism, he'll never admit that he's wrong but he does want to know when he is and he'll appreciate it if you can prove to him why he's wrong.

You have mentioned the economy is in shambles [...]

I can understand where you're coming from for the most part. The main issue is that a lot of players feel it's impossible to buy or sell things right now. Those graphs you're referring to don't give us the data on how many of something is being sold/bought. We can only make rough estimates by the distance between dots.

More importantly they don't give an idea of how many people want to sell their items but can't find a buyer or how many people are looking to make money by gathering items but can't notice any kind of demand in the market that's not being met.

Thanks for your criticism. I am always looking at improving the game, but it's almost impossible to please every single player. You have mentioned the economy is in shambles, but what exactly are you trying to say? I cannot identify real issues with the game's economy. I state my point on data we have collected over the past year and charts everybody is able to view on the homepage.

My goal of optimizing the game's economy is to keep prices stable as well as the creation of supply and demand. We have a large collection of data for all trades on the Grand Exchange, let me show a few examples:

• https://emps-world.net/ge#plot,Abyssal_whip,4151,360
• https://emps-world.net/ge#plot,Bandos_chestplate,11724,360
• https://emps-world.net/ge#plot,Manta_ray,391,360
• https://emps-world.net/ge#plot,Saradomin_brew_(3),6687,360

What all these plots have in common is that they have a pretty stable price. Yes, whips have increased in price since last year, but we've also introduced crystals to upgrade them. Meaning that these items don't lose their value and that they are in demand. You can argue that a smaller playerbase makes it more difficult to buy and sell items. Yes, I do agree and that's why I'm spending most of my time on advertising the game right now.

Some post here feel like frustration and hatred for the game. I've tried to argue and discuss such aspects, but from my experience this leads nowhere but even more frustration for both sides. Hence I will ignore such posts as well as possibly censor them and issue punishments if it's against the rules. I will take feedback and complaints seriously as long as they aim at helping the game and are not hypocritical.

If anybody is interested and doesn't already know about it, that's my personal development board:
https://trello.com/b/QGPVa5en/emps-world
The board contains progress and notes about upcoming updates and a backlog of things that are planned or have been discussed and could or will be put into the game.

Having a stable price doesn't actually mean anything other than that the market may be stagnant. In a healthy economy most used items like consumables should every once in a while have a sudden spike in price when some event motivates a lot of people to buy them and then a period where the price smooths down to a lower price as the supply catches up to the increase in demand when people start collecting the items due to the price increase and then as the price gets lower again the rate at which the supply increases should slow down allowing for another sudden spike in demand to cause a sudden spike in price. If that doesn't happen then it's a good sign that there's way too much supply and the demand is unable to catch up.

The spike in price should look like what can be seen on the Abyssal whip prices between 01.01.18 and 01.02.18 followed by the price slowly going back to what it was before the sudden spike. The goal should be to get more item prices to look like that and then we could assume that we might have a healthy balance of supply and demand.

Bit disappointing that after all these attempts you still don't fully understand how to make a meme.

"Daily Struggle" is an exploitable comic featuring a character attempting to push one of two red buttons labeled with contradicting statements.

These statements do not contradict eachother.

but here's what really matters,
it was clearly an accident so are you gonna give him the cash back?
 

No, but I did more than that, I gave him all three types of uncooked pies that I had instead, which was around 200 uncooked pies, that included a whopping 66 uncooked meat pies (worth over 3b at the price he bought the pie at!).

You've listed it for 35k each, why did it charge Justobby 335k each?

I've now talked to him and it turns out that he only bought 1 of those, he posted an offer for 100m and since there was an update that made the GE take the average price between selling price and buying price, then he bought 1 pie for 50m, the rest were sold at lower prices.

or maybe he wanted to put for 50k to buy 1 but instead he misscliecked and changed k to m

Yup that's what he said happened, but with him writing 100m instead of 100k.
