1. New staff members and a general change to the way in which 'Server Supports' are treated. The staff team has at times been a little club of friends, and this has brought about a lot of underlying issues. Being friends as staff isn't a huge issue, but when you are all friends beforehand and then all get staff you tend to bring in the same mindset, and their is less room for debate or disagreement on things like punishments and rule changes and even things like potential reports of staff abuse are seen/felt more personal than they should be. There is also the fear that if 80% of the staff team are friends and one leaves, another might leave, and then 2 more and then all 5 are gone in a short period leaving a huge gap. None of this is directed at any current staff, as I don't even play at the minute, but it had been an issue for years. Server supports should be 2 week trials for any players that apply and meet the criteria for staff, because no-one know how someone will act as a staff member compared to a general player. I voted against many players that turned out to be good staff simply because they didn't feel like staff material while they were a player. Everyone should get a chance and we would see a larger and more diverse staff team. 2. Events need to be toned down dramatically. I quit during every event because they are so overpowered, I can't play a relaxing RSPS if every waking minute I feel like I need to click 10000 winter imps because that's the fastest way to progress any account, main, iron, uim, hcim, gim. The events are a great way to get new players and a lot of the community enjoys them, but they are destroying our economy and we need to find a method to make them fun and attractive to new players without the drawbacks we currently have. 3. QoL updates. This is a hard one to talk about, because everyone seems to want QoL at the moment, but the last time we had an actual 100% QoL update, soooo many people bitched that there was no new content to enjoy. So it's hard to tell the developers what to do when they cop shit regardless of what they do for us. What we really need is some consistency, we don't need a huge content drop once a month, we need a specific day, be it weekly or bi-weekly, that whatever is ready gets released. Too often we have a 2-4 week delay on an update because of 1 thing we can't get quite right. So just release everything else and fix that issue for new week. 4. Discord bot integration. It may seem small, but having some fun bots for the community in the discord keeps our players around even when they are not playing Runex. Let's get that OSbot action rolling. 5. Voting Rewards. Runex has some of the most disappointing voting rewards of any RSPS. Chuck a simple donor mystery casket in the daily reward (Caskets are the lowest tier) or even a custom voting mystery box. People loooove these RNG boxes for that chance at bank loot. There are some servers I don't even play anymore, but I still vote on them every few days to make a load of money and get a bit of dopamine opening boxes, Runex is unfortunately not one of them.

Currently a lot of players have been talking about things they'd like to see in runex on the discord. I'd like to take a minute to get everyone's responses in a better manner. Going through each discord message is rather time consuming, so I'd like you guys to each write 5 things you'd like to see either changed or added to runex. If a player see's a above response is something they like, please feel free to add it to your list. I plan on taking everyone's response(within reason, if its a joke... it won't get added... something along the lines of "remove wilderness cuz bad" won't be added to our list) Some examples would be.... -minigame updates -Nightmare changes -Adding content like the gauntlet -Changing gwd. -Raid's update. So if you could. Take a few minutes out of your time, and give me a real response. What I am doing, is trying to more or less make a roadmap for the future of runex.

A few necessary changes: Fix Cursed Caverns Walls - As it is right now, no one really record while playing and MULTIPLE staff members and regular players alike have and are using this bug to their advantage. They should not be able to cast any magic through walls, if your excuse is "its magic" Then why doesn't magic cast through trees? Just please fix this. Change the loot on the dailies or change the dailies in general maybe a flux of which dailies are available? To do the same dailies over and over and over gets a bit tired after a while. KharazI - I was thinking about a way you guys could fix this one. My example would be to have kharazi be a monthly reset IE. All your items on the island after one month will be taken off the island and put into a coffer, (Coffer big enough to store all items on kharazi) This would change the minigame drastically and new players would now have a chance to those camping in max gear already. I myself will not go into kharazi until a needed update is brought forward. Staff- Currently there are little staff in certain timezones AND PLAYERS KNOW THAT. (I've seen macroing, abuse of bugs, flamebaiting, spamming) All because you guys do not have staff on all timezones. We understand the staff aren't getting paid crazy and its more of a at will position. But you guys need to start facing the facts that if we do not get some staff at all timezones players will eventually quit (Player still logged in staff aren't online) (Scams) Etc. Events - This will not be for everyone, but I think event chests should NOT be doable more than 1 - 2 times per event, or remove the chest all together and have an actual minigame where we can only complete it once. It would make it an event and not a eco fuck. (This even alone has brought over $50,000 into the game not including items. Developers - Ryan you are way to busy to manage both SPK and Runex, We all feel that we are left to rot while SPK gets all the of the updates and QOL changes, If you need to get someone else to run this server please do, not to say you aren't doing amazing, but I think you need to not be spread so thin. We understand SPK makes you more money, and that it's your main priority, but don't lose out on good players just because you only see one form of cash right now. Please I beg of you, find someone else to run RuneX or promote a developer. Thank you, Wrong

First of all, awesome initiative. This is my list, 1 being most important and 5 being least (My opinion) 1. Nightmare Changes - Buff to drop table for The Nightmare, maybe bring crush back to scythe. I think Night Terror should not be touched. 2. Gwd Changes - I see no issue with superiors except maybe how useless the armours are. I also see no issue with how difficult certain rooms are. They just don't feel as rewarding as when they had gcp pieces. Due to reset nerfs and how hard it is to afk, I believe gcp pieces have the place to be added back to gwd. 3. New content to Kharazi - Personally, I don't really have specific content i want to see, it just feels like dead content after spear, tome and blast mining. 4. Update of skilling task and task scrolls - I might be wrong but I don't believe that these too were ever updated since release. Regarding skilling tasks, a task for every skill could be implemented. Skilling tasks are rewarding due to the Tomes and the urns for rc. Task scrolls, rewards are fine imo, just maybe some addition of new item reqs/tasks. 5. Buff to most collection log rewards - Some collection log rewards are absurd. Most ridiculous ones would be Larran's Chest and Cursed Caskets.

In no particular order: 1. add more weapon variety to raids through the raids pets. The pets should have a special effect for its respective room. An example of this could be giving the Vasa pet a 25% magic damage boost in that room. That way you may be better off actually using magic gear there which we commonly wouldn’t see. 2. changes to the collection logs. For example, the rewards for the Larran’s chest log and crystal chest log is a joke. And the amount of collection log points could use a refresh in my opinion. I believe the Zulrah log is only 4 points but should be quite a bit more. 3. BUFF CROSSBOWS. The potential is there due to the effects of darkroot and variety of crossbows already in game. The ability of the abyssal crossbow using ruby bolts (e) with darkroot could be an amazing pvm weapon if the crossbow was just buffed in general. 4. A total reworking of the combat system in PVP and more wilderness content could be the change that brings in more players in my opinion. Some examples could be something similar to SPK’s blood revenants which are all over the wildy. And as Drugs has suggested recently, give some weapons the ability to turn off the damage soak ability of divine or ely. Rather than introduce new weapons, give current weapons this special ability. The best example would be the cursed blade. 5. lastly, I have an issue with the current event system. I get the sense that the owners/developers work very hard to release a seasonal event which is often accompanied with more content. However, it feels as though once they finish this large project, they move away from Runex or start thinking about the next event. I understand events are very good for encouraging donations and bringing in new players; however, they can also be very damaging to the eco as we have seen. I would much rather only have 2 events year round. And as a replacement of the events, we simply get more frequent updates. Added suggestions: 6. Give some of the raids weapons a buff for their respective raid. Obviously Scythe, Tbow, and Sang staff are already great in raids. However, I think vespine shortbow, elder maul, and even dragon claws should be given a big bonus for COX only. Additionally, give Ghrazi rapier a buff for TOB. 7. Give the armors acquired from the Superior GWD bosses a unique ability. Not necessarily just a damage boost, rather a more interesting special ability which might make it more attractive in some situations than crestbearer or crestroot. Admittedly I haven't given this one much thought but would love to hear some input on realistic abilities that could be given to the armors. TL;DR: I want to see our current weapons and items be buffed and given new abilities in order to promote more weapon variety.

As i've suggested to Raw before, something similar to the roaming blood revenants on SPK for runex wilderness. Spread out the players in the wilderness rather than having a few set of locations that have content to them and the rest of the wilderness being barren. Perhaps give them a rare drop to enchant some weaponry that has become dead content to encourage gear variety. Possible weapons could be infernal tentacle, trident of the swamps, zaryte bow, elder maul, any of the ornament godswords, korasi... Nightmare obviously. Rework of some of the newer achievements or even an entire rework for comp requirements.

Really good post, +1 to sock idea, Like nightmare need change for sure its not worth to do at all in my humble opinion unless u are going for comp. Would be nice if u could get gpcs in gwd again that would make supperior gwd grind a bit less afking and worth. For new content zulcano would be nice for ez 200M together with gauntlelt for some new rare rewards and at last chance rate succes on imbuing crystals that would bring alot more people back to game to grind end game gear (im over 15 rolls dry) for atleast 20% still would be rare but not that much But i really love this server

-gwd change. either make the bosses easier OR add gcp back. -nm updates -buff to collection log rewards - like what 2nd sock said -updated task scrolls - again, thank you 2nd sock -updated daily moneymakers. (full idea in suggestions of discord) -l00trock

This might not appeal to everyone but for me the more bosses the better - Grotesque Guardians - Sarachnis (just an idea example, add something like a cudgel handle that adds more attack bonus or something) - Zalcano - Allow pets to roam in POH, maybe max it too 10 pets at a time you can select? - Darkmeyer Agility course, it's different to just running a rooftop and can recolor graceful to black. I know the first 3 bosses don't offer a lot in terms of drops but maybe you could add unique drops to them to make people want to do them even more.

For me GWD and Raids first Then fix nightmare New content or something like gauntlet could be nice

-remove events -fix obstacles in wilderness -make gwd and superrior gwd seperate places (gwd bosses drop superrior bosses keys or something like that) -make prayer renewals and pet accessories worth using -raids

- Gwd - Nm - more use for cbows with shields etc - Nerf uim poh (i know its a deadgame mode but with some changes it could encourage more players to make uim) - raids update
