Honestly... Tik tok might not be the worst idea..... Shitty videos get 100's of thousands of views for no reason. That is a lot of eyes on

This is such a complicated topic to try and discuss due to the fact that everyone is so different! Times change, regardless of if you want them to or not, both for good and bad. This ultimately directly impacts the way in which certain games either succeed or not. As lation perfectly stated above we are an RSPS who have been through thick and thin multiple times… not to mention that RSPS’s as a whole are under threat from OSRS which is itself rapidly hemorrhaging players. Runescape in essence is a game with a very unique and diverse player base. That being said there are definitely things RSPSs can do to try retain/increase it’s players. Most ideas above are great! Consistent updates, new content, better transitions between game stages, new skills, extensions of old skills, afk zones. Sadly I feel like I’ve heard all of these before! And whilst they’ll drastically help in retaining players I highly doubt they’ll encourage new players. The huge difference with Ely is that our owner @Lationand his staff team arent here doing all this as a cash grab, they’re here because they also share the same love for the game that we do. Hence we have been around for so long. Now don’t get me wrong, we definitely should create a list utilising all the ideas from above and start really trying to implement them to a point where they feel right. Not as just a one off activity. Someone above stated a group activity which would be worthwhile, what could this look like? We have an amazingly talented modeller @Splashwho I can say with confidence will definitely be able to whip up a mean looking boss / mini game but only if the community can input ideas! As for @Lationdefinitely keep ripping in, you’re doing a great job. Just need Matt to try keep on top of bug fixes and trying to tie it all this new content together with thing like Collection logs, Achievements etc. (Chambers of Xeric dosent have either of these yet). Other than topics that have been stated above; Ely is one of a kind, with a player base extending back over 10 years! Now that in-itself is incredible however for it to fit in with this current day and age it needs drastic changes to its social media - YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. (Just get it out everywhere!) Make a goddamn MySpace account or TikTok if you have to PS. Look forward to seeing all you rascals ingame!

In my opinion, Content & community is what drives people to join (and more importantly stay). You've added CoX, what about ToB/Tombs of Amascut/The Gauntlet/The Nightmare of Ashihama, there's lots of content that's not available. I understand 718's are different to work with, but you've done a brilliant job with CoX.

I think there's 2 big issues to solve, keep the existing playerbase happy and active and bring in new players. To keep our existing players happy we need 4 things Content in the form of long term goals that appeal to a variety of players (Trim Comp, Achievement Rewards, Quests, 120 skills?) Some kind of content roadmap with things for players to look forward to Consistent small qol, bugfixes, like the rs "ninja" updates Better communication on getting player input for suggestions/fixes and creating active dialogue + enacting on it regularly For new players I think we can do a few things Sure up the early -> mid and mid -> late game transitions with content Fix up existing minigames to make them fun and enjoyable Find a way to get community created content going, that will drive more traffic and create a stronger sense of community Maybe create a more enhanced tutorial

agreed the transparent bullshit you get with most rsps videos is enough to put someone off a server, but something like a cool montage of bossing content with drops and different custom gear. something that shows the content of the server rather than just opening 1000 smbs. as boats says the difference between rsps and actual Runescape has narrowed for the reasons boats has already said. one thing that we do have is amazing customs made by splash, something that can't be done on actual Runescape, so that is a USP that needs to be shown off
