it has been suggested a million times, alongside other suggestions like PKer subs that give very high XP, or allowing players to sell each other accounts, but no unfortunately you have to grind grind grind if you want to PK on this server, since day 1 it's been like that ''it's unfair if people can pay to win'' ''it devalues peoples time spent on making their characters'' ''selling accounts is real world trading'' are some of the reasons given

there's just nothing being done to promote growth from my perspective, genuine new players can't get into PKing because it takes so long to build accounts, farm supplies, just to realize someone else has 20x amount of chars you have and 20x as big of a bank, players from competing servers don't want to grind again after having done it a million times, I read your whole post and it said you leveled in Circa 2000, honestly there's people on the scene who have done the same grind on 10-20 different servers as well as the real rscrevolution, many people infact,

if only there was a way for those people to actually have accounts without commiting all of their free time outside of work/family to a 19 year old 2d game with a dwindling community, hmmmm

I was happy to buy a sub card after seeing the server because I think the mods do a great job and I love rscrevolution classic!)

You aren't wrong, it's a well maintained server and all the staff do a good job,

but the server could be thriving by now if we hadn't spent years arguing amongst ourselves about the state of the wilderness, easy access to accounts should have been available the whole entire time. There would never have been a lack of PKing if it had already been implemented, might even be too late now

Yeah the grindin part of the game is unnecessary at this point. The last fort update drops to ground was a good one. It will boost pking but right now its summer and in some countries its the only time with good weather so people decide not to play. PK chars that cant level noncombat stats for everyone for a pricr of 1 subset a month/permanently would be perfect. Or something similar. You would be shocked to know how many flats there are in this server. The server does not need more people grinding chars just to PK. And youre right... many wont bother starting coz it takes forever to compete. And yet the ones with a lot of chars still grind every day to have even more chars.

Couldn't put it any better than this, sadly some people just don't and won't realize it RSC is a game that will continue dying, it's not going to get a new and more active playerbase, unless it's the old players from the scene returning and most of the people are in their late 20s early 30s and have an hour here and there to play and just won't have the time for the grind that is needed that they once had. Shit has taken too long and it will be hard as fuck to get the old playerbase back nowadays, not just the old rev players, but the players in general, and past year i've only seen Pkers quit, not return, and at this state that's how it's going to continue 100%  but however, past 2 days there has atleast been some action when i've logged in to check

I’m sure I’m in the vast, vast minority, but I’m someone who is completely new. I haven’t played RSC since the original shut down, and happened to find this on a google search. The thought just popped into my mind like “oh man that would be cool if someone has made a private server” and I found this. I definitely fall into that demographic though, late 20s, full time engineer working a lot of hours, and married. An hour a day isn’t even promised. That’s why I think bridging that gap could help. No doubt a 19 year old game will never thrive again, but don’t lose hope! If anyone else is like me there’s still potential for a small player base being added. Nostalgia is a strong drug haha.

Welcome to the server bro, good to see people like you finding this game. I PKed hardcore from late 2001 to early 2003. Didn't make any real PK builds, but my main was 84 82 91 85 @ 102 CB lvl and I kicked a lot of ass as most people were lvl 70-90 in mid 2002.

You would be shocked to know how many flats there are in this server.

Currently 1165 flats on hi-score,  judging by hitpoints hi-score.

+just as many hidden chars.
