Player Examine = Custom In-game Status

Idea: Add to the new options box a place to set your in-game 'status', which would be a short # of characters. When a player is examined, this string of characters will appear as white-text, similar to examining an NPC. You could also examine a friend's names on friends list if green at the time.

Examine: Billy Mays -> 'America's favorite pitch-man.'

Examine: Mod Reptar -> 'A giant green reptile'.

Examine: Someguy92 -> 'still selling candlesticks 1.5m ea'

Examine: Pker Dude123 -> 'if ur reading this ur already in lumby'

Feel free to check out my other suggestions: How to make Agility and Firemaking good - Zoom in/out, client resize on Mac, deposit all to bank - combat menu toggling options - All messages autoswitch toggle, using 'escape' to delete text / close windows, remove "[General]" prefix from global messages - Add search bar to bank - Hammock at the Fishing Guild

I remember years ago when I was playing "real" RS, this was a popular suggestion in the forums.
I personally like the idea, it's a fun little feature. smile

Good idea. Don't see how it could mess up anything.

+1, a nice QoL add-on if mods would be willing to do so, although it'd mean more work on monitoring inappropriate statuses ;P

+1. rscrevolution 3 has this, but it opens a interface with all your stats, and examine text.

Hm, interesting. I am not in favor of adding an interface with stats and equipment viewable to other players. Just the examine text, similar to what we get with NPCs but unique to each player, would be fun.

I expect if someone has an inappropriate or abusive status that they would get reported, and that would be something the reviewer would notice.

What do you think the default status should be, i.e. for someone who hasn't made one yet. "A citizen of rscrevolution"?

Sounds pretty good, but maybe instead "A citizen of REV."

That should do it

REV is RS2speak iirc.

I believe it was still referred to as REV in RSC, as it's the world that rscrevolution takes place in. Also, the lore all the way up to the end of rscrevolution 3 that has REV history should still apply, and I'd love to make future updates that show a little of that lore as a foreshadow of sorts.

I don't know anything about the lore after 2005, so I'd be down to see RSCR lore expanded up to at least that point! Though I would be willing to bet gp on REV being an RS2 addition. In original RS the realm is just called rscrevolution.

I know it is way to much to ask, but rscrevolution was golden (a complete, finished game. Take something away and it lacks, add and it is too much) at the beginning of Feb 2005. Check the update log. Most (I liked pest control minigame too) everything after that was illbalanced pandering and drivel and everything before quality, neccessary content.

If the devs of RSCR could just comb through the list of rs2 content updates up to that point and cherry pick out the best (most of it can be done with pallette swaps, isyn) to add ingame, Thatd be perfect.

Of course, all RSC content should take priority. Its just quests and a few broken items, like darts, iirc.

Also sorry for being so off topic. The post above mine inspired the tangent. The custom exaimine text is a 10/10 idea tho.

+1 for player Examines and Lore-friendly content expansion. And +99 to Thoth's post.

As much as we all love RSC, I think it's safe to say after all these years that we're all getting a little bored of the vanilla experience (wilderness and staking excluded). A lot of these add-ons you guys have made have been in great taste and of great benefit to the game and community. So ideas like these are great and should definitely be taken seriously.

An idea that should be highly considered to help continue down the path of each player having the ability to create a unique character for themselves.
This could go along with a character customization revamp allowing different races and/or base clothing and appearance mods.
