Worldscape has gone dead. With only a small amount of players left on daily, in which I have seen is only about 8.
We MUST try our hardest to get the word about Worldscape out there!
Not only will this affect the server.. but it's getting low. People are quitting all the time over items lost and other silly reaons. SO what? that's no reason to quit. Excuse the expression but, Grow some balls.
Now, I'm not here to attack any player or staff member but, All i can see is this server coming to an end. With not enough people, who will play? and where's the point of running a dead server?
My point here is that we need more players.
There is NOT ENOUGH of them.
If you have a friend that plays Runescape, let them know about us. If you have a friend that like's RS server's, Let them know about us. Or better yet, Post it of facebook, google+, twitter, myspace and all the sites you use daily. Even if they don't play worldscape, let them know you play it and you'd like them to try.
There are plenty of people out there that can advertise. This does not just mean that people IN-GAME have to advertise, but people on the forums.
Back in 09, we would have up to 30 players play each time I was on, we had good moderators, great staff & we all loved WS. I miss all of the old players, I have gotten ex-moderator Coleshot1 to play again. if I can push people to play Worldscape, why can't you?
Thankyou for reading this post & I hope you do as I/everyone asks.
This has been discussed a few times before, some people agree with it and others refuse to accept it. I too agree that it's dying, I personally at least temporarily quit because OTHERS quit. The legends have left, there's maybe one or two left, and yes there used to be like 40 active players when I first joined. Try reviving it all you want but the thing that would make me most happy is having some legends back.
Jose, Me, Ry, Wouter, Coleshot1, And a few more are legends. But, will more be coming? i think yes!
First i thought it was boring,
But when there are much people online its very much fun
So i Will help you

Ry, Wouter, and Coleshot I never see on..
Wouter is married, so he won't come back permanently. he gets on every once and a while.
ill make a facebook page for worldscape
There is a Facebook page.
I'll try and get some people playing again. I think the reason why most players quit is because most players on WS are PKers and when Ryan and the staff changed pking, i don't think there was a reason for them to play again. They cannot get used to the new way of pking. This is just my opinion. I'll try and get more players playing again. :P

True but also there's a point that it just gets boring..
People are lazy that's for sure. I honestly wouldn't mind the revival of blitz, I'd like it to be super challenging... The more challenging, the more satisfying it is to recall.
RIP Blitz :(
America has lost Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope. Now we have no Jobs, no Cash, and no Hope.
My how things have changed. I started playing WS over 3 years ago at least and there were close to 50-70 players on constantly. Havent been on in over 2 years, however. Who you consider legends aren't even close to the guys that were here from the start. I think the begining of the end was when an ex admin or mod, can't remember who, maxed out everyone's character files which REALLY made some people mad.
However, it's not just WS on the decline, its not just other private servers on the decline, Runescape in general is on the decline and all other relatives to it are feeling the effects of it. It's sad to see because this was truly one of the better servers and COMMUNITIES I have ever been with.

Word. I couldn't have said it better..
Please review & comment on my Suggestions in Suggestions. Lol
Nono
New pking ruined everything, I think we all know that WS had an decreasing number of players shortly after blitz was released.
im sorry, but old pking will not come back (unless ryan decides it to, which he has expressed he never will). we need to stop brining up old pking, this is a new time in worldscape, and we need the players to play the game for what it is, not what it used to be.

agreed, but the subject has been beaten to a pulp by the same number of people for a long while.
People rightfully so miss the past, they were good times.
Just because it's not happening doesn't mean you can't say you want it back. You do this stuff all the time with your suggestions and no one tells you that you can't post them.
i post little things, not something that has been brought up, shot down, brought up, shot down again, etc....
Well, why was Garrett's topic taken down, if you guys really want to advertise so bad?

That's because the old WorldScape got removed and because the pking, that's why everyone quit. I loved those times, sometimes we had 50 players on but as soon as kevin got admin then everything got change and everyone quit. I'm not saying kevin screwed the game, I'm saying that his ideas to upgrade the game to the later version of RS made people leave.
If the old pking came back, I could get a lot of people back and so could others.

Wasn't just because of the PKing, people quit because of classic switching to Blitz (and of course classic is back now, but they haven't come back to check) Plus you will always have players leave eventually, it's impossible not to get bored after years.

Yes, but some people come back even after that ;). The point being, advertising is the most simple way to gain a big player base. Recruit 100 players, even if only 10 stay that's 10 we didn't have.
The bigest Problem is eu timezone because there quit
Most people. And play not much people lik 5-10.
Ä° think we need more dutch germany etc People.

It got worse way before Kevin got admin. Possibly a year before that.
We need to be much closer as a community and accept new players into it. It's like moving to a new school, if you haven't made any friends you won't want to go and eventually not go at all. We need more D&D events etc to get all of the community involved.
Yeah, I have to admit, our community isn't extremely friendly to new players both on the forums and in-game. As Griz said, we need more events that will bring the community closer and make it a generally more friendly place. It's also incredibly hard for new players to gain any interest because it's so hard to be successful in Worldscape. Other servers are more inviting to new people because through skilling and the like they are able to obtain good items in a relatively short amount of time without it being too rapid. People with rares aren't willing to sell them (me included), so in that instance, it's almost impossible for newer players to be successful. I know the staff have a plan in place to repair the economy for the future but during that time, I think there needs to be things that spark the interests of new players and furthermore makes them continue playing this game. Advertising can only do so much, of course, it can make a player log on, but what's the good in that if they leave a few days after? To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what Worldscape needs for players to come on actively, but being generally more accepting of new players is a start, this doesn't necessarily mean give them out items and off they go, what we really need is something that piques their interests. Zombies was a great addition but the amount of time it takes as well as the lack of people wanting to play it doesn't really make it all that appealing. I'll probably update this post as soon as I think of some ideas but, that's just my take on the matter. :)
We need more things we can do by ourselves for the time being.

Which is what's wrong with bringing classic back.. People bitched and got their way, now they Realize that leveling was so quick that now they have nothing to do.
maybe we can try to find a way for the old pking people.
and the people that want to keep this.
like keep zombie and all the skills skillcape etc.
but remove veng and change the food heal?
about kevin if you do something you can make mistake.
i dont wanna see he did because he did a great job for ws.
i think this i will be a good way for ws
to change only the pking and keep the other skills etc.
because ags hit high to disable it in wildy

I'm not sure if we could have both, but good idea. Maybe two wildy places with different features? I dunno, that seems kinda needy though. I Think that people either need to Accept the future or not be ignorant for those who Lived the past. The community as a whole needs to a make a Decision (even though it's technically been made already, but it's been made by the STAFF, not commmunity)
For starters: Anyone that is dissing Kevin has no idea what this server has come through before. In my eyes, even after being gone all these years, I've seen updates that are out in the open for everyone not just individual players or staff, a friendlier community (even if it is smaller), and someone that thinks level-headedly. I have been through 4 generations of Worldscape altogether, starting with Gizmo, Jeremy, Max, and now Kevin. Gizmo was a complete twit who ruined everything, picked favorites, scammed people out of money/runescape items, made Ry's life a living hell, and had his brother banning or ip-banning everyone that would woop him in the wildy. Jeremy, I'm sure you all know about him. He would make accounts to purposefully kill people, and then deny it and say that we have hackers, which caused an uproar in the community. He also scammed people out of money/runescape items, and was generally not a friendly person. Max was never really heard from, and I think I saw him maybe once, which leads me to believe he really did nothing to benefit the players.
Kevin is doing what he can, and with a level-headed attitude he will make good decisions and changes, all you've gotta do is trust his leadership skills.
ON-TOPIC: I don't see why anyone liked the "old wilderness." I found it no fun, after sitting there killing the same one-itemers or the same DH/Zerker/Whip/Obby shield constantly. Vengeance makes the wilderness more exciting, knowing that if your opponent hits a 60 on you, part of that damage will be reflected back. Godswords are evil in the wilderness, but think, if you die you lose it. That's what makes the wilderness fun. The only thing I would change, and I've said this for years, remove the ::runes command and make RuneCrafting a viable skill! :-)

Everyone has their flaws, I personally admire Kevin's intelligence, BUTTT (dunno how badly I'll get punished for saying this :P) he has been known at least to me to blackmailing into banning. I'm not saying he says "Gimmie this or you're banned", but he has threatened me to tell him something (although for the better of the server) with a ban. I'm not saying it's more effective to do otherwise, because honestly blackmailing is the most effective (yet unethical).
However I DO LIKE KEVIN, as I said. My point is no one is going to be perfect, one guy may be lazy whilst another guy may annoy people with his constant work. There is no perfect combination, which is why trial and error is necessary in staff.
Garrets psot wasn't removed. It was moved to adverising board.
Wow guys if that's true then we need to get better at paying attention to things. I thought it was trashed for a little while though.
Yeah, as Mia said, it was moved to the advertising board but it will be available soon I'm pretty sure. The stuff you guys said was pretty inappropriate but they should have told us that it was moved.
I will be adding people to the group, I've suggested the players in that post to be added to the advertisment board. There will be no toleration of trashtalking in it.
Are you kidding me? i pmed like last week i wanted to help but you are total ignoring me?
look im just trying to help this server but if you dont want my help just say it....
Maybe because of all the posts you've made in the past? Just sayin'.
