All you have to do is:Originally Posted by Palidino
1). Make a list of the people begging for a reset
2). Check their staking logs
3). Check their bank
4). You have your answer!
Edit: Will reply to the rest of the nonsense when I get back in about 20 mins.

No it wouldn't, this idea of having seperate game modes for everything has gone overboard now & you gotta stop avoiding the subject. The main game mode sucks for everybody, nobody trades with eachother so the made is basically a pseudo iron man mode. New players don't stick around to play the server because there is nobody looking to trade items with them.
Just reset the regular mode & apply the changes asked for in the thread. There is no way that this game can grow if the main mode is Pseudo ironman mode.
Also ignore the Sharingan idiot, he's the eco holder at the duel arena has a 30b bank so it's expected he opposes a reset.

Wrong I am also completely opposed to a reset. My bank has 400m right now and only single max items. I am the number one voter and probably the player with the most actual game played time. I listen to people. Pali has said over and over he will not reset as it has never worked before only been a detriment. He will lose alot of players because his reputation is one for resetting and many ppl have alot of time and money invested in this release. Do thing need to be tweeked, sure, but taking items away or resetting same thing will not make things better.
1. Ironman took about two weeks to complete when boss slayer points were around, but this will be alot longer now due to hunting specific items within raids.
2. You want a normal mode reset but not an ironman reset? Probably just want to xfer your 10k hours playtime worth of ironman gains to the new clean economy. I'm not sure why you're so concerned about regular mode, considering the fact that you're an ironman.
3. "Of all the D Warhammers in game right now probably 80% of them entered when DWH were in the blood money shop"--> There is nothing wrong with correcting a mistake, yet at the same time DWHS are 500m+ ingame; if they were indeed too many ingame (which is what I assume you're probably trying to argue, otherwise why bring it up?), they wouldn't be one of the most expensive items ingame and people wouldn't be camping Lizardmen for them.
4. You could argue that more items are being added into the game through raids than through boss slayer (there's been 20 rare drops just in the past 24 hours from raids), although hunting for specific items is more difficult (ironmen).
5. What about new players that have joined in the past week or two? I've seen plenty.
You say things like "Shar owns eco so he doesn't want reset", yet fail to come up with compelling arguments to support a possible reset- your main argument is "lack of trade activity", but how will resetting the server change that? There will be less items in-game and less people in-game. Honestly, the only people in favour of a reset are the same 4-5 people, who if you checked accounts linked to their IPs, checked their dueling logs and bank values, you would quickly realise why that is the case.
Look at the successful servers and look at us.
What are we missing, what do we have that they do not. Start from there - if you want to bring players. Might have to make changes that you're uncomfortable with. It's either that, or keep your integrity.
Successful servers? They all have boosted player-counts.
Next step: make it pay-to-win --> look at every 'top server' and their donation options, no wonder they can spend $$$$$$$$$ on advertisements.
"Might have to make changes that you're uncomfortable with."
Did you read what I said? Getting to the top isn't easy, unless you do it some desperate way, like you just mentioned.
Exactly- a complete change in principles is required. But is it really worth doing? Most of the people play this game because it's one of the most unique: stays true to OSRS for the most part and is generally not pay to win (can only buy bonds).
But with that, come a different set of problems which are currently facing the 'top servers'.
We're not missing anything, the problem is that players already came here and formed their opinion when the game was in a worse state. He released the game with 2 bosses. People saw it, left and never came back. You must remember back when we had 200-300 online constantly when pures got him to add clanwars, the game had nothing to do other than zulrah & pking. People quickly caught onto that and left. They already formed their opinion that there is nothing to do on this game.
The best way to fix the problem is a fresh reset with advertisement, if players see that battlescape has been re-released they are more inclined to give it a try.
Palidino's target demographic should no longer be pkers, it should be PVMers & Skillers. Make the game into a solid eco server like Alora, we already have better bossing & skilling than them. Only thing we lack is a decent economy for the main game mode.
That's the question I'm putting forward. I'm now the one answering it, I'm asking.
In theory it's a great idea. But please tell me in practicality when the last time that was a successful method (to server reset).
