Why would a 718 die with 07 is released @Gracious lol

That literally makes no sense, a 718 is the pre-eoc combat with nex and shit, its not even close to 07 lol.

what.

 

[Pain]

what.

Sythe said he did a 718 last time, gracious quoted him and said it died because 07 was released, but why would a 718 server die due to 07 being released? their like 6 years of gameplay apart lol, 07 being released shouldn't of damaged a 718 that badly, certainly not enough to kill it like he said, its 2 totally different communitys on 2 totally different ends of the spectrum.

That's what happened, lol

I'm 99.9% sure 07 being released did not kill a 718, Idk if anyone else has input here but it shouldn't of KILLED IT, theres a niche of people who prefer pre eoc & 2013 gameplay.

Whatever reason the last sythe RSPS died, I'd bet money it wasent because of 07.

Even if the RSPS industry took a hit when it was released, 718's would of been the ones that were damaged the least.

@Sythe

Here is a background story, but I think it might be an interesting idea for growing the website.

I use to develop for a Forsaken World private server called Aria, which was the only server of it's kind. The owner paid for someone to get the source files for him and ran the server using iWeb, then put the work into creating tools to modify the client data quickly. He hired me to be a monkey, and I took files from other games developed by Perfect World (the creators of Forsaken World) because their mounts & certain items were compatible. We changed EXP rates and key features in the game to make it easier to obtain content, similar to setting up a Runescape private server.

Forsaken World is a cash-shop game, which has people that have paid thousands of dollars on the retail server. I put in around 13,000 USD into the game before working on this private server. I ran the PVP for the top guilds on the game, which typically consisted of mass battling of around 100-200 people per guild for server events. There were people that I talked to every day on TeamSpeak/Ventrillo for nearly three years; that spent anywhere from 10k-200k USD on the game. Yes, several people have spent nearly $200,000, if not more, in the game. The value I brought to him was knowledge about Forsaken World. After playing the retail and having connections with the entire server; I brought experience that he needed to successfully make the private server.

The unique part of the private server was that we had zero competitors because no one else had access to the custom tools and FW server files. When the owner of Aria randomly chose FW for its graphics and opened it, a ton of people swarmed to the server. I believe at one point we had over 1,000 active players, and it was hugely profitable. The owner/head developer claimed to purchase a $30,000 server after two months of its release.

What is the point I'm trying to make?

If your new team focused on opening up private servers for games that don't already have a large group of servers; you'd find vast expansions opportunities for the community. It is both profitable and relatively easy to setup. Your crew just needs to get the source files, which can be found on public websites. I'll be willing to provide a lot of information that could prove useful, but I don't want to spend all night wasting your time. This is just an idea that I believe you should ponder.

EDIT:
Also, finding content that hasn't been released on these games and creating YouTube videos would be an excellent way to bring people to Sythe too. When developing, I found 100+ in-game content that no one knew about. I wasn't smart enough to make this profitable for myself at the time, but I had a YouTube video showing all of the level 4 wings that no one knew about on FW. Without realizing it, that video had over 50k views within a few months, and I never checked it after releasing it. It took me around 10 minutes to release it, and a month later I quit working for Aria. When I started making more arena videos for FW, I realized that my level 4 wing video went "viral".

 

Anyone got any vids from the old sythe rsps ?

 

@Sythe RS2 Update & Revision list (23 Jul 2002-12 Mar 2014) [UPDATED AS OF 2014]

I think that most people forgot that the 667 revision exists. It came out in 2011 which I believe was the prime of RS2.

667
✓ Torva, Pernix, Virtus
✓ Divine Spirit Shield
✓ Dungeoneering/Chaotics
✓ RoTM - Steadfast/Ragefires/Glaiven boots/Armadyl battlestaff/Storm of Armadyl
✓ Old item models

718
x new item models for torva,virtus,pernix,barrows, and all metal weapons/armor sets
x squeal of fortune
x dominion tower
x polypore dungeon
x queen black dragon
x fight kiln

718 was the downfall of rs2 imo because it introduced easy to obtain overpowered items that devalued older content and made pvm easier:
- Dominion tower: Introduced swift gloves, goliath gloves, spellcaster gloves which were overpowered and made barrows gloves worthless. goliath gloves allowed you to attack unarmed with the same bonuses as a whip
- Polypore dungeon: Introduced polypore staff and ganodermic armor. Polypore staff was an extremely cancerous weapon that had a very high dps output while costing almost nothing to use. Ganodermic gear was also very cheap and had extremely high magic defence which devalued karils armour which was previously used for corp beast because of its reasonable magic defence.
- Fight kiln: Introduced the tokhaar-kal which had +4 higher strength than the fire and max capes. It also crashed the price of furies by offering an uncut onyx as an optional reward. Imagine spending months training to achieve max stats and you can't even use your max cape because an overpowered cape with +4 higher strength was released.
- Queen black dragon: Introduced the royal crossbow which had a +15 range bonus advantage on the chaotic crossbow, making the item worthless.
- Updated item models: A majority of players prefer the old item models over the new. One thing we've learned from the release of OSRS is that people prefer older content and dislike drastic changes to the game.

667 torva/virtus/pernix

718 torva/virtus/pernix

There's probably more that I missed but I strongly advise against creating a 718 server. If you want all of the newer content without cancerous updates 667 would be the best choice.

You've convinced me

Possible to put 667 content on 718?

Possible to put 667 content on 718?

idk if 718s can load 667
but u can load 667 on a 317

 

Ikov was a 317 >.>


317's can have 667 data(as in torva,pernix,nex,qbd etc), its just not normally there.

In ikov's case it had 07 data, and pre-eoc data, I think it actually had 1 or 2 pieces of eoc data to but those were custom.


But it was a 317 I can assure you.

What we need ^
