Rome is a 667 loading 718 that is build on the idea to be different, but to the extent of maintaining real RuneScape aspects. The main idea of the server is to have playability, interactivity, and tons of content. This server wants to keep aspects of the Roman Empire times but still maintaining RuneScape, making this a blend of medieval and emperor times. The logic of this server is to make YOU a 'Roman' not some 'Player'. We found this a more formal way of talk and found this to be quite descriptive of YOU. Our interactivity will be to produce content that will come from the unexpected, and something that is fun and doesn't always have to follow the pattern of "get on a server, get 99s, and PK!" We, the Roman team, find this to be quite repetitive, and wish to annihilate that from our server. All-in-all, this server is circulated by YOU and not by the concept of "the World is just turning around"

In 11 words: The collaboration of Rome while keeping the main idea of RuneScape.



Server Thought Process
The server is built to replace the name of "Player" to "Roman". Staff are "Emperor"s. Donators? Get rid of that name. They are 'Lord's (or 'Lady's if they are a girl character). Everyone considers Taverley, our home, to be the main epicenter of Rome, as it has the Central Trading Hub, Skilling Tutors, the Town Crier (one of few), the Squire (one of two), and the Financial Adviser (one of few). It also provides nearly all things that a skiller may need for their journey in Rome. The thought for having it all-in-one, with a few cuts our (such as how rocktails and such are not at Taverley) is to maintain the socialization perspective of Rome.


This is an example of our status system that will come very soon to Rome!

This is an example of an Emperor (better known as staff) being named a Roman Emperor.

This is an example of the Roman idea put into dialogue. This type of dialogue is found all around Rome!

This is an example of keeping the idea of Rome in almost every premises.



Playability & Content
The server is designed to have access to alot of your playable content all in one place, the Fairy Ring transportation system! Playable content include minigames, skills, and other specs that are needed, crucial or not, for your gameplay. I will be straight out honest here, the server has the content of Matrix. Why do I state this? Because I don't want you all to think that I somehow proclaimed the Fight Caves or Pest Control to be mine and all mine.

A server idea we have for a minigame can be found below.

This is our welcome screen upon your first login.





These are all images taken in the Roman mining area. 1 Tin ore, 1 Copper ore, ~9 Coal ore, 2 Mithril ore, 2 Adamentite ore, and 2 Runite ore spawns are. This fountain will also restore your Amulet of glory's charges.



Interactivity
Our prime concern is interactivity. The reason being that we believe that if the server is not interactive, then it doesn't have the playable feel. Interactivity, to us, is the server having something going on, everywhere. I swear to you, when I was walking down from Taverley to Edgeville, I found things that I forgot I even programmed in pop out of nowhere. That's interactivity to me. That's true interactivity.

We Care About the Little Things
We believe that the little things count. If you were to walk down as an adventurer in Roman times, no food with you, and suddenly you got attacked and are hungry. What's the first reaction you'd do? Get food! There is a cabbage field right near you. You run to eat the cabbage. But what do you find? You click it and the boring message, "Nothing interesting happens," comes up. On Rome, we strive to count the little things in, meaning when you are in dire need, and have no food around, you can click on some sort of field and not worry about that terrifying message, "Nothing interesting happens."


This is an example of the Town crier feature that allows you to get updates in almost all the major cities!

This is an example of a completely Roman idea where a Roman Guard will attack a Barbarian to the death at randomly selected locations.

This is an example of our 'before' image when pickables didn't work. Isn't it boring seeing the 'Nothing interesting happens.' text?

This is the Latest Kills board where all the latest kills are recorded.

This is an example of our In-game login time awards.
A little secret. Shh! We have two more secret features that will come as a shocker to anyone who finds it out. Here's 2 hints:

1. Its when you say something aloud, not a command or anything, but ordinary talk.
2. They are from famous lyrics or videos.

Freedom
Unlike the real Roman Empire, freedom of choice is in this new Rome, with only little exceptions (such as the tool belt). You can be a skiller without having the fear of having, being forced to, kill something in order for you to do what you love. You can be a PvN person without having the requirement to kill a fellow Roman, but instead fight alongside them. You can be a PvP person without having a non-playable character getting in your way for your dream of PvP. You can choose, we don't care!
Toolbelts! - Do thou skillin'! - YouTube
The toolbelt. At this era of RuneScape, all items that were not quest items were unlocked by default and also the player could not supply an item higher than bronze. This is one of the few things that have no freedom.



The BvB Series
Rome now features a way where our Emperors can come and take requests and be social with our players. This is the BvB Youtube series.

BvB stands for Boss vs. Boss. Romans suggest which Boss should fight any other Boss, and Emperors will take your request and try their best to make it a reality.
