I think scratch the higher drop rates.

The Sir owen's longsword and slower prayer drain would be amazing.

Then fix that problem instead of making stuff easier.

 

I don't know how you choose games but I sure as hell don't do it for the benefits I get for playing a certain mode. You play for fun. You play to progress. What's fun in being handed everything? Now I understand that the mode has taken a hit since the tournament but isn't it a bit early to ask for benefits 2 weeks after it's release? Get Utorrent to host events for you. Do stuff. Give suggestions that doesn't just make it easier.

 

While most of this seems okay. Small changes, nothing drastic except the drop rate & the sword.

I still don't understand why you think draining less prayer would save the gamemode?

Getting the arguably best sword out there for training just handed to you?

 

I'm sorry but just 2 weeks after it has released I really don't believe incentive to get more items or train faster would do anything to change the current state of classic. I don't expect you people to agree with me. This is just my opinion.

 

From my experience, game modes like Classic worked better with incentives. On every decent server I have played there was incentives for the lowered xp rates.  I get that some people do it just for the challenge. But most people don't really care, and would rather do it if there was some set incentives. And you guys keep talking about Tournaments and events. I don't care for that stuff to be honest. I enjoy playing leisurely and getting rewarded. Right now everyone is cashing out.. And the classic game mode was not meant to be a strictly Ironman mode. It was meant to open up a new community. And to keep said community alive we need incentives to keep people interested.

This is not what classic mode is about. The reason you play classic & other game-modes than normal is because you want a challenge. I do believe certain incentive should come. But just like any other mode it should be from events. Just like the tournament we just had this weekend. It makes no sense to add higher drop rates to and already growing economy for classic players.

You can clearly see the game mode is dying. People are abandoning ship. Eventually the game mode will die out. I get where you are coming from, but you got to look at this through the longevity of the game. This game mode is literally no reason to play it opposed to other game modes. No benefits. Why play on a game mode that is extremely slow compared to the others for no added benefits. Like on other servers they have offered some benefits for playing on a harder mode. I like that. Higher drop rates, a sword specific to said game mode, slower prayer drain, etc. Just little things to make the game mode have a bit more appeal.

I just want the old SS extreme mode back... I wish Omi had the game files to the mode...

Well please post what benefits that mode had and I will add to list!
