Title: Bring WorldScape Back [READ]
Post by: Kryptonite on September 09, 2012, 05:55:34 PM
Bringing back WS

(http://i46.tinypic.com/35ir4ox.png)


It's no secret that WorldScape isn't what it once was. Not even close. The average amount of players has gone down from 50+ to 2 or 3 max. Everyone has been complaining for long enough. People have thrown in a few suggestions here and there on how to bring back the old WorldScape, but none of these small suggestions are really able to bring back what the game once was. My goal in writing this is to provide enough changes all in one suggestion that could possibly bring WorldScape back to what it once was, or at least out of the "depression" it's in now. These will be a series of changes that everyone will have to make, not just the staff members. I'm not trying to act like you should have to listen to me, it's merely a suggestion.


1 - Changing the focus of the game
This one's for the developers. Think back for a minute. Think to the time that WorldScape had 50+ players online. That was the time before the original WorldScape Blitz was launched for public release. Do you remember what 95% of players' favorite activity was during this time period? PKING. I remember when ::wildy was packed with people wearing DDS, obby shield, dharoks, zerker, etc. and there was tons of drama between clans and players. People LOVED PKing. Not only because it was extremely unique compared to all other private servers, but also because of all the fun and drama that went with it. Almost every interesting event in the game happened because of clans or pking. That's all you ever heard about. This all ended with the launch of WorldScape Blitz and the introduction of the Blitz Engine.

During the time period of WorldScape Blitz, there were about 20 - 30 people online on average. WSB eventually ended due to too many people complaining about the experience rates. Blitz was then replaced with a slightly older version of the WS Classic that we have today. When this came out, the average player amount probably started in the 40's, but then dropped down to the mid to low 20's. Ryan tried to bring back PKing, but it wasn't the same. The 3 hit system was gone and suddenly the whip was far superior to the DDS for pking. This was mainly due to the new Blitz Engine being used to run WSC. Even though pking was different, people could still tolerate it enough to still play and have fun.

A little while after this, a lot of new features were implemented to the game, essentially making PKing the shit it is today: not unique from any other server, OP equipment, pumpkin/choc-ice nerf, lunars, defense bonuses, etc. This was sort of the last straw for people. It caused so many people to stop pking. People would rarely risk anything anymore because the new OP gear was very difficult to get. This caused the hobby of PKing to get replaced with things such as skilling, which can only be fun for so long. It doesn't have the same fun, drama, or uniqueness that PKing had. This leads to people getting bored and then they would stop playing.

Anyone who would say that the focus of the game today is PKing is kidding themselves. The mechanics of the game shifted from strongly supporting PKing to making PKing a worthless and boring activity that no one does anymore.

Solution: Well, the ideal solution would be to bring back the old classic PKing. This, however, cannot be done, as stated by Ryan and Kevin several times. The next closest thing would be to try to get PKing back to the point it was when the Blitz Engine was first introduced. This includes: remove defense bonuses, bring back pumpkins that heal to full health, bring back mass-clicking food, bring back choc-ice, remove the lunar spellbook from the pking system, remove the new OP gear such as bandos, godswords, dfs, etc. from the pking system, bring back the glitch to where if you have a full inventory, you don't lose the items you're wearing (on death, remove items, then delete inventory as opposed to delete inventory, remove items, delete inventory again, or whatever it is you do), bring back the food glitch (could be done by making an extremely small delay after taking damage that will make food heal nothing if eaten during this delay period), and REMOVING SPECIAL ATTACKS. If I forgot anything, someone please tell me.

Now Kevin did say that the 508/474 items would not be removed from the game. This is okay as long as these items can NOT be used in any sort of PKing aspect. Perhaps make them give all 0 stats unless you are fighting an NPC. I don't really care. ANYTHING to get that CRAP out of PKing!


2 - Change the Economy
I know everyone begged for this new economy change, but it hasn't really gotten us anywhere. I mentioned earlier that 95% of people in the old WS enjoyed PKing. Well the other 4.95% enjoyed trading/collecting RARES. Rares were items that could only be obtained by trading with other players. These have become obsolete with the new economy change, so people can't do it anymore. And no, you can't just have a bunch of drop parties and be like "oh yeah it's all good, there's rares again, everyone's happy!" No. Because the rares in the old WS didn't just accumulate over a few days. It took years of the items being shuffled around through players to obtain the value they had. Plus, there were so many different rares, that trying to put that big of a variety into the game now would cause literally every player in the game to have an abundance of different rares, and they wouldn't be rare. Even if new players joined, there would be that one small group of people who controlled all of the rares and it wouldn't be the same.

Solution: As hard as it may seem, I think it's best to go back to the old economy, before this giant restart. For one, I think that resetting our stats was pointless. No one really wanted that in the first place, mainly just items reset. I'm sure almost everyone would rather have their old stats back. Hell, you could even let people recover their account from this version of WS onto the old one, it won't mess anything up. Reverting to the old economy would let people be able to collect rares and enjoy all the masses of duped stuff that they once cried about losing. If you wanted, you could go back to the old economy and stats but delete a few duped items, such as coins. This way there's still some evidence of an economy fix. But in all honesty, WS was never really about economy. It was more PKing, which would also be brought back by this because of the masses of gear people once had. I remember just a few months ago, I was texting Yader (berserker) about coming back to ws. He was really excited to come back until he found out everything was reset, so he didn't return. It's a huge pain in the ass that us players who worked hard to get our combat stats to 135 as well as other stats shouldn't have to train all over again to get what we already deserve.


3 - Bring Back the People Who Made WS Fun
Another big thing that brought WS down was the people who made the game fun were getting banned or quit. Legends would be banned for stupid reasons (not always stupid reasons) and then other legends would quit because those legends were gone. This just triggered a chain reaction of people quitting. After PKing was nerfed, people played for a community for the most part. Even when PKing wasn't nerfed, the community was still a HUGE part of the game.

Solution:
I believe the staff should unban a ton of people, excluding Luke and Aaron. Unban people like Nick (I realize he isn't banned right now, but his old account with all of his stuff is), Volcanic Me, I Poon I, Drunk Mario, Recoil, and anyone else you guys can think of. These people were a huge support to the community and almost everyone deserves a second chance. If you won't unban these people, I'd like a good reason why, because I really don't see one. Once you do this, I'm sure we could spread the word around that people are getting unbanned and old legends would soon start returning.


4 - More Staff Involvement
I remember when anyone could log into WorldScape and there'd always be a mod or admin online, happily ready to interact with all the players. They would host various games/events for people, go PKing with people, host drop parties, and all these other fun things. Not only this, but the staff would be very active on the forums as well. The only active staff I see on the forums these days is Kevin and that's pretty much it. Maybe Jake or James every now and then, but we rarely hear from Ryan and never from Bill. I don't even remember the last time I saw Bill post something.

Solution:
The staff have said that they're extremely busy and that's one reason why they can't be very interactive with their players. I do understand this, but if the staff aren't active enough to satisfy the players, it might be time to get some more staff members. Hire some mods/admins (not literally) that will actually stay on WorldScape and interact with people and who like to have fun. I can guarantee they can't be hard to find. But do also make sure they can be responsible and do their moderation job. Ask any old player, WorldScape was a lot more fun with interactive staff members around. In addition to this, you should fire the staff members that really aren't doing anything for you and aren't ever active.


5 - Stop Being so Negative
This one goes to the players. Yes, I do realize that this entire post is, in a way, negative. But do you ever notice that all the players do is complain about how bad the game is? Complaining doesn't help. Stop looking at the situation in such a negative manor. For one, it's not appealing for new people to come here and see all the players complaining about how bad the game is. Why would anyone stay after seeing that? I actually admire Jake the most for staying positive on this whole situation. Maybe you guys should be more like him. I agree, I'm not the most positive person either, so I'll work on this as well.


6 - Get Involved!
Again, this is for the players. You guys should get more involved with the community. And by this, I mean do this such as make banners, do GFX, MAKE VIDEOS, host parties and events, etc. Do anything that can spice up the dull inactive community and possibly attract more players. I will agree we have a nice GFX team here, but you really don't see people making videos or hosting in-game events anymore! I understand some people don't have recording/editing software, but you can still do something! Take in-game screenshots of interesting things! I think we should aim for a goal of 50 player-made pictures/videos by the end of this year. Hell, do daily commentaries if anything. That can be entertaining. I think if someone actually made a YT channel for WS-related things and posted daily videos this community would get better. You could even do funny skit videos with a few other people. Anyone remember watching tehnoobshow when you were like 10? Maybe that's just me, lol. These are all just suggestions. I bet you guys could come up with more creative things to do!


7 - Advertise
This is kind of common sense, but advertise WorldScape. This isn't really a new concept, but if we got the entire community to advertise actively for awhile, we could bring in a ton of new people. Tell your friends to join. I wouldn't really recommend spamming another server with advertisements to WorldScape though, because that will only bring in negativity and a bunch of people who want to crash us.


8 - CHANGE DONATING
The most OP gear in the game used to only be obtainable by getting a very lucky barrows run. This is still the only in-game method of getting these items, but people can also get it in a matter of seconds by donating. Just for a few dollars and literally ZERO effort in-game, they can instantly get the best equipment in the entire game. I don't even know how anyone thought it was a good idea to add this feature.

Solution:
Replace every piece of equipment, food, herbs, etc. in the donator shop with some sort of cheesy clothing or costume. Get rid of absolutely ANY ITEM that can be obtained IN-GAME. PLEASE! This is extremely unfair to those of us who have to work to get them, and it completely ruins the economy.




Well, that's what I've written up for now. Again, this is just my attempt to get the game back together. I can't accomplish any of these things without help from other players and staff members. I really hope people listen to this, and if anyone has any suggestions to help build to this, I'd be happy to take them. I really hope this causes a turning point in WorldScape. I want this game to thrive again.

My personal perspective on this was back in the day, when Worldscape was at its peak, you were included in one of two groups. You were either a Pker or a Rare Collector. Both of them have gone out the window, Practically. So for me the "must fix's" are fixing Pking and fixing the economy so items can be rare.

(Personally I think we should have unique rares like we did. Such as Beret, Chompy's, Mime etc)

Good Idea, will probably help a lot. But I'm sure the staff already know how much players want it back. But hopefully they bring it back.

Guys a million people can support this and nothing will happen. Not until Ryan updates what we want. Yeah IK Ryan is busy getting settled in for college but it's freaking October almost November so he should be settled in. Yes I'm sure coding isn't the easiest thing but a few hours here and there can give us the updates we want and get the player amount we want! Also where is this world 2 with all old accounts when the reset world came out the announcement said that it'll be out in a few. Well it been like 4 months since reset/new world happened. If it has taken this long it will probably never happen.

Hope things change if I could help code I would so would a lot of other people but yeah only Ryan knows the code to WS so yeah........

In other news get more old players to just come to the forums I love this community

JUST STOP! There's nothing to bring back it's out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new. Don't you get the reason why there's no more "Legends" it's because everyone is older. People have different perspective on the way they view their lives now, unlike, before when we all still young. In all honestly... Get this... Whoever goes to college will understand that there's no time for playing in which Ryan's case, he wouldn't be able to take the time out to simply code. Yeah, there's Kevin, Danny, Bill and a few admins also the Worldscapers that can contribute to the "return" of Worldscape to somehow, magically, bring back the old Worldscape little by little but is that good for? When they simply said they can't bring back some of those features in the most part PK-ing. FOR ALL THOSE WHO KEEPS COMPLAINING THAT THERE'S NO ONE EVER ON, THEN GET ON! Who cares if your items got deleted, who cares if your skills got reset, if you're really passionate and have all desire about Worldscape returning then learn how to adjust. Don't you think the first 20 players of Worldscape didn't have a hard time doing so? The server wasn't always as great as the old days from the very first day, but players showed support and passion for that Ryan can make Worldscape the best as it was before. Trust me on this one old players are on forums, WE check from time to time to see how the server is doing because we easily can't get forget how this game was such a big part of our daily lives.

Here's the thing. Part of the reason WorldScapeBlitz was so big before, was because of the time that it was out.. Times have changed, and WorldScape had it's days. This is the same situation as Dodian. If it came back, it would never end up being as big as it was in the old days, because of what is out these days. The servers out these days may be terrible to people who know what real servers are like, but they're what the population of Rs2 server players like.

The servers out these days may be terrible to people who know what real servers are like, but they're what the population of Rs2 server players like.
Don't forget to take into account, that old players evidently grow up and move passed the daily gaming stage with it decreasing hours on end.. Old players go.. new players may come in.. but it does fluctuate by a lot =\.

I agree with this, I don't ever go on worldscape because the games economy is ruined and there is 0 people online everytime i check. I barely check how many players is online, but when i do, theres 0 players. If the game actually gets improved, I might start playing again, as will alot of other people.

This is something I can't stand.

You all asked us for an economy fix. When we fix it, you all complain it's fixed.  I cannot find an emoticon that has a strong enough confused face to show my feelings.

Fixing a game is more then just restarting the server and letting people start from scratch. It's MUCH MUCH more then that. The update to start form scratch happend several months ago and noone has touched the server since. That update also shows no effort in fixing the server because it takes less then a minute to erase files and let people start from scratch. Some of the requests people give take a few minutes to add. It's the small things that make people happier. Saying you don't have time because of school is f*cking horse shit because it takes several minutes for SOME of the things. Some take a few months, some take a few minutes. But leaving worldscape for several months untouched is ridicioulous. I'm not saying school is easy. I'm saying that there HAS to be some time for worldscape in those months the server was untouched. If the server isn't updated for a few weeks it's understandable. Honestly, the staff shouldn't even defend themselves because most of the people that are complaining are doing it for a reason no? most of the people who are complaing are pretty reasonable complaints, instead of replying to every person that complains on the forums, use that time to update the server. You don't have the time to update the server but you have the time to reply to several hundred comments for months? Show the players that you're putting SOME effort in the server.

It's not just the fact that we don't have time, which we really don't, but when you're working on multiple projects at once, plus doing everything else that life in general throws at you, certain things will be pushed to the side.  Honestly, I do my part in responding to every single complaint/issue that we get, as I consider myself the most community-minded of the staff members (I mean that in the best way possible).  And, with the introduction of RuneRebels, I won't lie to you all, there was some issues behind the scenes that disabled us from updating Worldscape, and that is taking a lot longer to fix than we thought it would.  Another example other than the economy wipe was Zombies.  If you actually sit down and play Zombies, if you saw the coding and all of the time that was put into the mini game itself, we should all take the year off!

When we all have the time to sit down and talk when we're not all working on projects of our own, the main thing we talk about IS WORLDSCAPE.  Worldscape was the beginning for many of us, and it will NEVER be thrown away, shut down, or any of that nonsense.  As for World 2, you can expect that fairly soon.  I've already discussed it with many people before:  PK'ing from Worldscape Classic is something that is really hard to bring back.  BUT. That is something I want to bring back. That is something that the majority of us want back.  I am always open to any questions or concerns, and I usually answer them with a clear answer, but that doesn't mean I will give up my opinions, as I am also a very opinionated person.

I probably have no room to talk, cause ive been inactive for a long time.. Been busy with life and life.... Anyways i know for a fact that ryan and he's developing staff is working hard and has not forgotten any of you.. Sure they might be working on runerebels witch seems to be a very promising project and I'm sure it's something that Ryan loves. And about worldscape like everyone at some point said it will never ever die.. To be honest I'd love to just get online and talk to people see how there doing what they've been up to.

Guys, bringinging something back is easier said then done.  It requires a commitment by the players also.  If you say that "More People should play", or "I'm not playing because nobody's online", then you wonder why we have zero players online.

Commit yourself to the game, not just saying that "I will", play. That's what made Worldscape strong in the first place, and that's what'll do it again.

Just my two cents.

I GUESS NO ONE IS GETTING THIS. TO GET PLAYERS INTO THE GAME THE GAME MUST BE FUN AND AS OF RIGHT NOW THE GAME IS PRETTY SHITTY. WITH BARELY ANY WORKING SKILLS, ITEM, WEAPONS AND HOW LONG HAS WORLDSCAPE BEEN HERE? SINCE 2007.THERE ARE NEW SERVERS COMING OUT EVERYDAY WITH ALL SKILLS WORKING AND GUESS WHAT WORKING WEAPONS TOO. SO STOP SAYING WE NEED TO PLAY THE GAME TO GET UPDATES FOR THE GAME!!!

ALSO I HAD COMMITMENT UNTIL RYAN GOES HMMM I WILL f*ck WORLDSCAPE AND START A NEW SERVER.
