[CDT][TC] RSPS Survey Results! [OFFICIAL]

The Community Development Team (CDT) asked the community to let us know what would be liked for a Sythe RuneScape Private Server, which the Technical Core (TC) have already started to make progress on.

The results of the survey were delayed in being released so it could achieve 100 responses, however we have now decided to release the survey results at 83 total responses.

These responses have given an idea on what would be best suited for the RSPS. TC have decided to implement features and ideas into the RSPS based upon the results.
Have any queries as to the update of the RSPS you can ask the TC here!

Thank you all for completing this survey.
Here are your results!

What's your favorite feature from another RSPS if you've played any?

Spoiler: 79 responses

• 
  
  
  • Custom items
  • Custom items
  • None
  • None
  • Duel arena
  • 07 Bossing/Gambling/Staking
  • Items not degrading.
  • faster leveling for less drops
  • good economy, incentives to pk, all skills working, max/comp capes obtainable, and no custom items. I'm strongly against adding custom items however I'm okay with adding custom features that improve gameplay and promote activity.
  • answered on the thread
  • Max/Completionist Capes (Aka Endgame content that expands playing hours outside of PvP/PvM)
  • Gambling
  • Rare PVP Drops + PVP Points
  • One click gearing
  • Clan chat
  • For the 1st question: If it actually has community vibes, not only for the sole purpose of say a PK server - yuck. If you can grind, but it's a bit easier then RS. If there is a selection of quests etc. If there is a possibility of maybe having customs for donors. I'm expecting the full red carpet, a proper RSPS. Not a copy-cat, didn't bother to actively work on it. I'm expecting that there will be active updates as the RSPS is released and ongoing - as per the community wants. If we're not getting that, don't even bother. On an RSPS I was on which was a Delta, they had their own skill called 'buffering' and quest and minigame around it. I'm expecting the works to physically want to keep playing it. Fav features: As mentioned above - customs, spawns, but I don't suggest that be added (*maybe very minimal?) doesn't have to be. A quest, a Skill and a minigame created by themselves. This was a delta (very buggy client) but it was fairly popular for what it was when it existed. Another RSPS I was on they had specific quick tele areas where they had specific type of NPCs to kill. They were a mass custom server. People pay a lot for customisation, which can easily come in through the donations system. They had a economic, although blah but still had one. I'm hoping there is some sort of economy. If people find glitches and abuse it will it be dealt with? if there is an economy I'm hoping it can be dealt with.
  • Past Sythe RSPS - Le Community was good tbh
  • bank tabs, fullscreen, hd
  • Pking/Staking
  • dicing
  • Boosted XP and drop rates. Focus on PVP.
  • Max & comp capes/donator statuses, allow rwt/dicing, fast XP rates
  • Haven't played a rsps in ages, but things I think could go well in a Sythe rsps: Bosses - simple reiterations of god wars bosses, maybe some custom bosses, but anything that is PVM for the sole reason of acquiring rare weapons and training. Risky PVM - allow for pks to occur in set PVM places, better rewards/higher risks. Make the PVP single combat in this area. Significant XP Boost - Make training incredibly fast until at least 70-80s. Spending time on a skill is fine, but I know I am not interested in spending hours attempting to get my combat stats up so I can PK. Edge Shops - Pretty standard in RSPS, but a place where you can pickup at the very least basic (and good) gear for pking; however, better gear is only available from pvm. Cash skills - Have some skills provide gp opposed to actual items. I think woodcutting would be a great example of this, make fletching obsolete and allowing woodcutting to be used to farm gp at whatever rate/h. The skill would still the work the same in the higher level you are the more you can cut/faster/etc. Custom PK area - Wherever, just somewhere that is different than your stereotypical edge pking. Perhaps something like the quest area during Priest of Peril. Rare "fun" items (Phats, masks, etc.) available whether from drops from hard-to-kill npcs, or a random rare after so many wildy kills, etc. Staking - It's fun to have
  • donator perks
  • no bugs, no custom items
  • PK Points
  • Active Staking
  • never played any
  • I like custom interfaces that make experiences in RSPS different that real RS.
  • staking, dice, gambling
  • PKing
  • upgraded weapons(tizenx)
  • Different xp rates/modes
  • In stakes there is no PID. You both hit at the same time if you click at the same time and you can both die at the same time. Which if you both hit 0 HP you both get refunded and can do the stake again with nothing lost. There's no worry about PID or anything. Just the luck of the draw. Servers that have this that I know of is OS-Scape and I think Near Reality did as well. Don't know if that server is up anymore.
  • Runique's scam safe gambling
  • Dicing
  • Gambling/Staking
  • Wilderness Keys/Chests (Ikov), Dice Hosts (Tizenx), Zombie Minigame (Tizenx), PKP System
  • Dice bags / mithril seeds
  • Grand Exchange, Game ran gambling (no player run gambling, like duel arena), Social PVM monsters (not solo-able with great rewards)
  • pking ranks and leader boards. like a MMR/ELO style start at 1500 rank deaths/inactivity drop rating. Kills raise rating.
  • I enjoy skilling zones such as the premium skilling zone for pkhonor. AND I like 2b XP caps.
  • POS defintely, the one from ikov was smooth in a way that was the best option to trade
  • Flowering
  • economy/dupe control and balance attention
  • Custom items really.
  • I know it is a spawn server, and not what you're looking for.. But, I really find SpawnPK RSPS that is out atm very interesting, fun, and slightly different! Check out some aspects of it!
  • Gambling/Wildy pking
  • Low amount of stores
  • max/comp cape and gambling
  • Gaining wilderniss tickets while skilling in the wilderness.
  • Custom ::gear commands
  • Fight Kiln
  • Lime Whip/Dragon Kiteshield (Near Reality Custom Items)
  • Spawn all items
  • dicing, flower duels, gambling
  • Old school graphics (2005)
  • high risk arena on tizenx all items dropped on death avoids scams.
  • Ikov, Gambling
  • An active wilderness
  • active wild
  • gambling.
  • Easy PVMing but not afkable.
  • Overloads and chaotics for Pvm not pvp
  • Donating for perks - you can see an example of this on Edelar RSPS.
  • pvp
  • pvp worlds
  • arma storm, sacred clay bow, hexhunter bow
  • balista / constant updates
  • Grand Exchange / POS
  • Features that promote active wilderness and clanning
  • economy
  • Different account modes
  • Dung
  • pking and gambling
  • hunger games.
  • bossing
  • Perfect Switches
  • Custom items

Which features would you like to see added and which ones wouldn't you want to see added?

Spoiler: 83 responses

• 
  
  
  • -
  • -
  • godswords
  • Want to see - 2012 Combat system with Gambling/Skilling/PvM (07) Don't want to see - Any kind of Rs3 update
  • PK world where you keep items upon death, you can donate for better items. Don't add a load of mods from CDT or w.e. spawning kills servers.
  • no idea
  • I would like to see a 2011 rs clone (667 revision) with no bugs. I'm strongly against adding custom items however I'm okay with adding custom features that improve gameplay and promote activity.
  • answered on the thread
  • Add skilling & an economy, don't add staking/dicing as it makes a large difference in wealth very quickly and the few rich end up controlling the economy.
  • staking, pking, skilling and I would love highscores
  • Gambling
  • PVP Points
  • Yes: PK'ing, Gambling, Skilling. No: Idk
  • More minigames/quests.
  • The normal ::bank and quick commands is nice, easy teles. I don't think there will be rules, so is there going to be mod ranks in game? say if staff join the game. -- I'm unsure on the idea of RWT /regarding it. Gambling? - Duel Arena Staking, flower gambling. If so there needs to be rules. If so there needs to be an active staff team dealing with it? With gambling comes scammers. Keep items rare? Holiday events - I'd like to see this. Time online should be viewable some where; hans!? Own quest/Skill/minigame - perhaps. I'd prefer customs, not overpowered weps or armours. But customs such as making flared trousers a diff colour. Customs for donors can increase donations - but who would deal with this. WHo would accept the donations and supply the items?
  • Everything pre-eoc would be nice.
  • Dont add wilderness ditch, add a stake same weapon option
  • anything thats not eoc please.
  • Properly coded pking/staking
  • Dicing and skilling.
  • HD Graphics would be nice.
  • Torva, Pernix, Virtus, Lime whip, Death cape, dragon kiteshield
  • GWD, no buyable OP items
  • Would like to see ingame mods added (Sythe staff is willing to help out), shortcuts to bank, teleports etc
  • No spawning items, no pay to win.
  • See above. GE is a waste of time, everyone conglomerates around Edge anyway. I would have the RSPS designed so that Edge is the hub and there are portals that would take you to a variety of different areas. Have the rest of the world open, maybe even with the normal monsters and stuff (yet better loot), but focus on Edge and the linked areas opposed to the entire world itself.
  • easier XP, forum based economy
  • To put it simply I just want a server with 667 content with no bugs or custom items. It can be 317 loading 667 as long as we get all the newer content without leaving anything out. Custom features are fine as long as they are mainly QoL updates or updates that have been released on OSRS. I DON'T want to see any 718 content added whatsoever.
  • Lets see PK points added.
  • more pking features
  • I would love to see customizable max/comp capes. And maybe a few custom sythe only items. But nothing too big. Most servers over do the custom items. I also would like to see a good economy. One you would have to really work hard to get rich and it would make you well known when walking around with a partyhat. (MAKE PHATS EXTREMELY RARE)
  • gambling, staking, pvp, pvm
  • Summoning/Beasts of Burden, ruins PKing. Divine/Elysian spirit shield unless they're extremely rare or have something that negates their effect in the wilderness as has been custom coded into some servers. Plenty more, feel free to PM me for suggestions since i've been staff/ a long time player on several servers most of them topping the list at some point and know what lasts/does well. -YSV2
  • Not too many customs or it ruins the RS feel.
  • No osrs items.
  • A 100% Spawn PK version of the game with no restrictions on what you could spawn. So if we had I think it's a 667 server, we could spawn Chaotics, Claws, Completionest Cape/(t), and every item that is in 667. Also including things like Primal Armour from Dunge. I've played servers like this and I could sit there for hours pking and enjoying the game but then I get restricted on what I could spawn because they wanted to make more money and that just made me quit all around. I would play both the Spawn and ECO because I love both aspects of the game .
  • I'd like to see gambling be a thing along side staking.
  • All staking
  • 317 based server with everything up to a 667. PVM Gambling Staking RWT should not be allowed! The server will not last long as the eco will be completely ruined. Model it after ikov.
  • Wilderness Keys/Chests (Ikov), Dice Hosts (Tizenx), Zombie Minigame (Tizenx), PKP System, NOT P2W, RWT not allowed.
  • Dice bags / mithril seeds also legal RWTing. Trust based gambling also with maybe a buyable dicer rank or something like that. Nothing like the Runique system though cause that's shit, CC gambling is best
  • Like added: Grand exchange, A lot of PVM content, updates to have a social community + social events
  • no OP donor only items. Donor items should be cosmetic only IMO.
  • Added: duel arena,dice bags. Removed: nothing really add everything u can
  • Definitely economy based. But seeing this come into play you would need to either allow server item/gold selling for irl or 07/eoc gold or something. Like near reality does pins to trade off.
  • The POS as the active waay of trading, not the ge as seen on runique. also, it would be good a variety of bosses (pretty much exactly like ikov)
  • Dice hosts
  • Variety of bosses/minigames, and no custom items
  • no dumbass custom items
  • I'd like to see cool custom items added, including the standard customs like icons, custom phats etc. Also I'd like to see gear from later RS versions added. Dragon claws, torva, Divine spirit shield etc. Also Skilling should not be overlooked.
  • I would like to see a lot of spread out PvM and PvM in wildy areas to make it more active in the pk aspect.
  • Rwting & I would not want to see chaotics or virtus/torva/pernix
  • I would like to see low Drop Rates on rare drops & wouldn't want to see too high xp rates
  • No pk point/slayer store
  • different game modes giving different xp rates.
  • - Clue SCROLLS !! And I rather not have EoC
  • Economy
  • Choatics, Curses, Fight kiln
  • Please no Summoning
  • Spawn most items for fun pking and have max capes
  • gambling
  • Everything as it was in 2005, at least main quests, sounds, treasure trails (of course treasure trails will take time), actual economy, no features that were not here in 2005/2006.
  • i would love to see a 667 with well coded 07 items not shitty like anarchy.
  • Anything that is oldschool
  • everything but storm of armadyl, divine and polypore
  • gambling added, scam preventions added.
  • Easy PVMing, Easy combat training, weapons such as claws and godswords, armor such as vesta/statius, but no nex/nex gear.
  • Balanced Eco Trust gambling services Fair drop rates not to easy not to hard Pking store with pkp system of 1per kill items 1-280 points
  • Don't really want to see donating 2 win etc.
  • pvp
  • nothing past a 614 revision
  • no customs
  • all
  • A good set of achievement diaries but not one that takes 10+ hours to achieve (ie. Mine 2500 rune ore)
  • Feel as though it should steer away from gambling such as dicing and flowers. Stick to duel arena for this as gambling causes many issues.
  • no summoning, and lots of pking
  • Add higher drop rates for lower exp rate accounts.
  • Dung/Chaotics
  • dicing and flower gaming
  • alot of bosses.
  • Pking & bossing content.
  • Fight Kiln, Turmoil, Steads/Rage/Glaivens, No Chaotics, No Divine, No Nex Armor, No Pre-EOC stuff
  • NO G.E.!

If you chose "other" which version would you suggest?
(please leave empty if you chose a proposed version)

  • Build a bloody 317 or it'll die-bus369
  • 614 or 2011 era is the best revision
  • 498
  • 317, although looking at 667 I don't mind, or a mixture of both. Not really sure of dung... Main vote goes to 317. Also fine with 464/474 additions. 317 should be main one, with other additions if possible.
  • Pre-EOC
  • I prefer 667, but if it ends up being 317 please add 667 features
  • Good with anything pre OP weaponry/armour (looking at Torva and all that junk). If a 317 is selected, should definitely incorporate later things such as God Wars.
  • Version 317 or 667 ( I have no preference over these two options. )
  • I'd play any revision
  • 317 server with updates stopping at 667.
  • 317 Loading 667
  • 614
  • 317 with 667 features and 667 skilling/items.
  • Realisticly, there are no good 464-667 servers out... Everyone is stuck on 317, make a gooooood 464+!!!!
  • 317 with pre eoc content
  • would like a 317 with content from other versions so having torva, chaotics ect.
  • -
  • i like the idea of a 667 with a comp cape maybe add a little bit extra stats kiln being same as comp cape just seems dumb to me work for weeks vs a cape that takes 1hr to get
  • A 317 would be great, but a 614 with perfect skilling, pvming, economy, and a decent combat system would more then likely be better.
  • OSRS private server

Thanks again,
CDT & TC.

 

so does this mean its coming out soon, like in a week?

100% guarantee we're getting dicing too confirmed

 

So 317?

BTW the images are broke.

nvm

 

Nice anyone wanna pre order 1m for $tree fiddy?

 

Almost 3 weeks late, but better late than never I guess. Thanks for finally posting it.

 

It will be interesting to see how long it takes until it's rolled out.

 

Soon™

 

Wow who voted Rape as their favorite activity..

 

Please please please make this

 

Lmao @ the "rape" response..

Would be awesome to have a sythe rsps. I call first dibs on creating the first sythe-rsps gold shop

 

Swapping? Uhm.. getting 69 skills? Community related things really, not so bothered with actually playing RS. I like the Citadel on RS3 - but don't want that on an RSPS obviously. I loved quests. I don't even like much on RS, but RSPS are something else.


^ in reply to favorite activity on runescape.. what a fucking cretin

 

Nice to see this coming along. Just hoping that it's economy based and not spawn.

 

Remember if you have any questions you can redirect them to the following people with all the RSPS knowledge and updates.

@SuF @Grave @Syed @iJava

 

It is in active development.

 

Will it be a 317 or 667 version?

 

No thanks

 

@Grave

any updates?

 

The main setup should be 317 considering it was most voted for; possibility of having 667 as the votes aren't far off I assume? @Grave

 

Please don't answer any questions directed at the tech core

@Grave

is the tech core prepared to tell us anything about the server
