Classic Mode

With the massive support for Classic mode, and many of us still on Summer vacation, there’s no better time to release Classic mode than now! Lets dive right into it:

Classic mode is a game mode that is more challenging than other game modes — it has the lowest experience rate of any previous mode. It has trading restrictions like ironman modes, but here’s the kicker: Classic mode players can trade between each other, meaning a Classic-only economy will exist! This is a bit different than the usual Ironman mode which makes it slightly less of a solo game style.

We’re looking to release this game mode this weekend! The planned release date is 9:00 PM Eastern time on Saturday, August 19th!

FAQ:

  • What will be the experience rate?
    • 5x experience.
  • Will experience boosts (well of goodwill, wilderness bonuses, vote book bonuses, etc) apply to Classic mode accounts?
    • Most boosts will not be applicable to Classic mode players!
      • With that being said, vote books WILL grant extra experience, but can only be opened once every 12 hours.
  • Can I trade/stake other players?
    • You can only trade/stake other classic mode players. Of course, this means the Trading post is disabled for Classic mode players.
  • Will there be an icon in-game for Classic players?
    • Yes! An icon with two swords crossed will be shown in-game for Classic mode players.
  • Will shops be available?
    • Yes, although the items in the shops may be nerfed and adapted to suit the game mode.
  • Will I be able to use the donation store?
    • Yes, although it will be similar to the ironman store where you can only purchase cosmetic and mid-tier items.
    • Some donator perks will be nerfed on this game mode.
  • Are there any other things I should know about this mode?
    • Gold obtained from thieving will be at a lower rate than other game modes.
    • Bonds can be transferred between normal accounts, but vote books can only be transferred between Classic players.



 

Classic Mode Competition/Tournament

 

Huge thank to @uTorrent for organizing this event and coming up with the idea!

 

The release of Classic mode brings with it an exciting competition with huge prizes (Over $350 in cash, as well as many in-game prizes) to be won! To ensure that all players can participate, we have divided this competition into two sections:

  • Classic Competition ($150 prize):
    • The Classic competition is our way of rewarding the players who put the most effort into their Classic mode accounts. Here's how it works:
      • Point-based event:
      • This event will last 10 days from the release of Classic mode.
      • Assuming the release is on Saturday the 18th at 9pm, this means that the competitition will end on Monday, August 28th at 9pm.
    • Points are earned for the following achievements:
      • All recorded drops, monsters killed, total level, and experience gained throughout this time period will award points. The top three players with the most points at the stopping time win prizes!
    • ​Points earned for:
      • Rare drops:
      • Points are given based on drop rate. A whip with a D.R of 1/400 will award 400 points. Every consecutive whip gives 20% less points until 20% (20% is minimum).
      • There is a maximum of 2,000 points for any particular drop.
    • Achievements
    •          10 points per easy task completed
    •          45 points per hard task completed
    • Monsters killed:
      • One point per 10 NPCs killed
      • 8500 total NPCs killed / 10 = 850 points for monsters killed.
    • Total level:
      • For total level, 2 points will be awarded for every level obtained.
    • Number of 99s (combat and non-combat):
      300 points per 99. 
    • Total experience:
      • For total experience, 10 points will be awarded per 1M experience obtained.
  • Notes:
    • For recorded drops, players MUST obtain proof (via picture/video) of the item(s) & record the date and server time (for proof).
      • Only high tiered items will be counted. For example, Leaf-bladed items would not be counted.
    • The points calculations are subject to change.
    • At the end of the week, players need to submit their own portfolio of rare drops/total levels/total experience. We will verify everything on our end to make sure that no player has cheated.
  • Rewards:
    • 1st Place:
      • $150 in cash OR $200 worth in tokens
    • 2nd Place:
      • 600 tokens OR 6 bonds
    • 3rd Place:
      • 400 tokens OR 4 bonds
  • Classic PvP Tournament ($200 prize):
    • Similar to the Ironman tournament we held months ago, this tournament will open for registration a few days before it is held, and players will battle it out in a fight-to-the-death until only one competitor remains! This type of battle will be very interesting to watch, as we will see what style of combat players will choose and which items they have brought to the battle after their week long grind. The last man standing will take the full $200 prize, although 2nd and 3rd places will receive alternative prizes as shown below:
      • 1st Place:
      • $200 in cash OR $250 worth of tokens
    • 2nd Place:
      • 800 tokens OR 8 bonds
    • 3rd Place:
      • 500 tokens OR 5 bonds
  • Rules:
    • The tournament will be 1v1 brackets. You must be registered before it begins.
    • You are limited to 9 Saradomin brews. Inventories will be checked before you fight, and you will be forced to stay within this limit.
      • We want the tournament to be fair and for the fights to last a reasonable amount of time, but not to take hours.
    • These rules are subject to change before the tournament begins.
      • A separate tournament thread will be created once registration opens.
  • Our very own @Lowkey will be live-streaming and commentating the event, so you can watch it all unfold live!
  • Schedule:
    • Tournament registration is undetermined, but will be announced soon. A new thread will be posted soon after the Classic mode release this weekend, wherein we will announce the exact time for the tournament.
    • As a rough estimate, it will be the weekend immediately after release (Between August 25-27) and will likely be held on the 27th of August.

Note: These two competitions are completely separate and you could choose to participate in one of them, both, or neither.

We hope you're as excited for this competition and game mode as we are, and we wish the best of luck to all who choose to participate in the competition/tournament.


Regards,
Omicron

like the idea of the classic mode tournament, I do have some suggestions though:

 

- rare drops are really reliable on RNG, i do feel like giving points for them is a good thing but I just want to say, what if some one gets a visage at 40 kc from wyverns? this will mean this person will get 10k points from 1 drop that was pure luck (lets be honoust) this single drop could be able to win the complete tournament, so I think there should maybe be a cap on how much 1 rare drop can give in points like max 1k or something.

 

- are pets and also skilling pets in particular going to give points? this would make it easier for skillers to gain some points over pvemers

 

- maybe at more points for some achievement like:

      - getting a fire cape

      - getting an infernal cape

      - reaching 99 in a skill

      - getting full void

      - etc.

 

unfortunately I wont be really trying in the tournament because i will go on vacation half way through but these are just some of my suggestions :)

My problem with this is basically, Since itll be on the same world as the other modes that we already have.

Is there going to be a method such as a known area for where classic members go to trade or do we need to scavange through the crowd to find that 1 person standing at edge bank or via yell?

It may be possible to add a way of filtering out (or not showing at all) TP offers for classic players for those who aren't on classic). I assume it won't be that big of a deal outside of TP due to the classic rank icons.
