Believe it or not, I actually kind of agree with you. I came to the private server scene cause I woke up from a dream about killing Elvarg, and I didn't want to download a bot to get RSC to work. Well, let me tell you. It was a little disappointing to come out of that lair without so much as a scratch. So I am passionate about doing something with the combat system. We need to rescue the first half the game from obscurity (I don't know anyone who actually used every metal sword from iron to rune, as another example - most people skip substantially because the leveling to rune is so quick. Reaching endgame content in your first few hours playing is not sustainable.)  I think my proposal is good enough to not share the details now. But I would like to make combat leveling more consistent, rather than extremely rapid at first and extremely slow at the end.

n0m and the rest of staff may take some convincing and we have had other more pressing priorities lately. But in short, I know where you are coming from and i think there are situations, such as what youve pointed out, where rapid leveling breaks or depreciates the original game content.

Most of us have multiple characters at multiple levels. I personally have 27 characters right now and I will be adding more soon. Leveling a flats takes about 400 play hours. If that's too fast for you then shoot for all 99s like many have and take it a step further and go for 200m exp on all stats. If leveling is too quick, don't spend money on subs and it'll always be slower than some of us are used to.
Most of us use enchanted bstaffs to level new characters or party train.
A lot of us have busy personal lives and cannot commit to training so many characters. I have a wife, 3 kids, 3 mortgages, and own/ run a full time business. The game is very time consuming and it's taken me over 3 years to compile my list (lots of pking etc too of course).

I suggest that they make a slow man mode for people like you. Also, if you make an Ironman, things go much slower (with the exception of combat). My Ironman is my favorite account and you should look into it.

Welcome to RSCR

Needs higher experience rates you're tripping.

im mostly sold

Billy you are a genius!!. I have stressed this type of scenario before. Too much middle man content is skipped because of this. Look at fishing for example.  Their are several tiers of fishes from shrimp to sharks. Beginning fishermen have a hard time selling shrimp or early level fish because everyone only buys the highest level fishable food in this case swords or sharks. Even with woodcutting most people only buy magics or yews at least and for someone in the lower levels selling oaks or say willows they're just shit out of luck because no one wants em. Sure maybe someone can buy em to power level fletching but for the most part that person is shit out of luck. I mean why buy trout or salmon as food when you have the coin to buy sharks?

Because nobody wants train or pk with trouts or salmons. You should try to play ironman if normal mode is too easy for you!!

+1 mod rotta. Making it optional upon character creation allows for anyone who wishes to experience original rates capable of that option without forcing those rates on everyone else. Closest thing now is a unsubbed ironman but you'd still have 8x combat and 2x skills even without subs

Xp rates should be lowered way to ez to lvl now or remove hotspot or territory's.... I remebr being the 1st legendary player to ever max out at that time 2nd plsce was 300 lvls behind me....i mean...was something to be proud of now maxing is beyond ez hell im the only player to max out more then once i should have some type of kool rare lol

No you're not. Yoyo's did it twice, fail post

lol true

I don't care enough to go looking through 1000000 forum posts to try find out exactly what the name was and when it was, judging by how offended you are that you've been called out as wrong perhaps that might be something you might be interested in, he maxed the second one not long before he got banned permanently for RWT

This boosted exp take all the fun out of building a pker.  I there a way to play this game with the normal exp rates? Or is there a clone that has the normal exp rates. its depressing to have already hit combat 40+ in just over a day.  I'm just to satisfied with how easy this game is. heck i decided to add 2 defense to seed things up a tad and i was multiple defense levels a kill. Common thats friggin lame.

This is crap if you are not happy with xp rates why not play actual rs. your complaining it's too much yet here you are on a private server which was designed to enable you to lvl faster if ypu think xp rates are too high then  what the he'll are you doing playing a private server?
