Kozzy, since you are making Runescape, I suggest doing a couple of things that you should be aware of that Runescape players like myself have wanted fixed for YEARS. Hope you take this in consideration and apply it to your game.
1. Unneeded Skills
If you look at all 26 skills in Runescape, you can probably see that a couple of them on their own is completely unneeded. Here's an example:
Ranging in RS has 1 skill that counts as both Range Strength and Accuracy. Same applies to Magic.
Melee though, has two skills. Why? Why not just combine Attack and Strength together as the Melee skill. All Attack does is increase accuracy and Strength increases max hit. Range and Magic does both of these in 1 skill. It makes no sense.
2. Too much work on skills for little rewards.
Let's take smithing and mining for instance. It requires 99 smithing to make Tier 5 armor. What about tier 6 or 7? You have to get them from monsters or buying from other players. For those who don't know, Runescape's XP system is VERY slow. It isn't worth training smithing unless you want to get it done with. No one smiths to make armor or weapons anymore. I suggest, for Kozzy, to decrease the level you need to make Rune armor by 20 levels, and add tier 6 at 89 and tier 7 at 99. Then maybe people will actually try to make their own armor.
3. REVISIT DEAD CONTENT
When you do release some content Kozzy, and you know it's broken or no one uses it, try to make it useful, whether it be through new rewards or w/e. You don't know how many dead minigames Runescape has that NO ONE does.
I hope this helps Kozzy from an RS players perspective. I've played Runescape since 2007, so I think I qualify to tell you what needs to be fixed.

1. Unneeded Skills I'm going for a weird old classic style, there won't be useless skills such as firemaking however I think splitting up atk & str is beneficial for how I plan on going about how combat will work stat wise and such. 2. Too much work on skills for little rewards. Haha, when I get to this part in development- this will be the one of few things that is completely different from runescape :) 3. REVISIT DEAD CONTENT This is why I ask that the artwork stay simple as the code is just as simple, I'm building this to be able to spit out content and update existing content on the fly :) [Edit] Leveling stats up won't take near as long as Runescape ^^ but don't expect to hit max level, whatever that will be ;3 in a week or more :33 | |
I actually liked the idea of your attack and strength being split. It's not that different from Agility and Strength. It allows you to make a personal build.

As long as I can be a naked bald man with a club that can steal peoples stuff, should be a great game.

Eh, as many as needed- just try to keep it simple if possible. :)
