W84 - every time you’re at the GE or Fort Forinthry for 2 minutes or more, you’re punched in the face with a dozen or so pulse cores, leaving you with permanent bonus 10% XP
Also, I just like that it’s crowded. It’s more fun to see a lot more players when I’m playing
You know, I’m a real beginner on PVM (got my ass kicked by Telos for 2 hours yesterday) but I did feel like my inputs weren’t quite right sometimes. I thought it was just me, but I didn’t realize the ping meant anything
Oh that was happening big time - it’s really easy to predict that uppercut move and dash out of the way, but I felt my character was really standing there when I was smashing the surge button
The servers kinda start dropping inputs randomly above a certain player/activity threshold that is mich lower than the max world pop (e.g. you press a key, your computer recognizes it, sends it to the game client, the client sends it to the server, and then it does nothing).
You ideally want to PVM on a server with low latency AND a relatively small population
Thanks for that info! I've only started doing some PVM as I treated that as more of endgame content. When I heard people talking about ping, I let it go completely over my head because I didn't think I was good/competitive enough to let it be an issue. But doing even the amount that I have, I can see it would be a major issue for a person who wants to try it out. PVM is hard as it is without experience, and having inputs that laggy would make someone who doesn't recognize what's going on want to quit. It could be a real barrier.
I'm in w84 to but the 2 minutes or more is slow for me when dxp is over or when im not in fort and that place can be laggy even on mobile.
Anyway im there only to do my dailies and 10% XP. I been on Lumbridge before Forinthry for 2 years or more and before I only joined on weekend dxp and back then I hard had any lag compared to these weekly dxp events
I like the crowds on 84 even though I don’t get any of the benefits. It’s nice just seeing the game be busy and alive and seeing people chat while I’m skilling
Too bad the worst part of the crowds on 84 is the crowds on 84
Spend longer than 10 mins at lum or foth and you have to turn off public cos either that one weirdo is kinkposting/having esex publicly or some burner acc is spamming MAGA/homophobic/racist stuff
I agree on that part lol. I usually just go somewhere else when people start chatting about politics or drugs or whatever else is going on in the fort lol
No. “World” is just a cute way to say server” each server has its access points around the world. So “World” 73 is just “Server” 73.
What would impact the ping is your location relative to the location of whatever server you are trying to join. Also, the server load, if there are a ton of players that may create a slightly higher than normal ping because of higher traffic.
nice!! yeah not gonna lie i bought one and tried to replicate your fit because i thought it looked really cool… didn’t look that great on me but you have great fashion sense
24! There such a great sense of community on there. There are a whole bunch of clans based on the world. I've been playing on there for nearly 20 years and I still see loads of players to this day that I've been seeing playing for the last 15 years.
I joined high ping worlds before even on dxp and with a decent phone or pc i never lagged so bad on low graphics in fact even worlds with 900 players or less been more laggy
36 on RS3, 336 on OSRS. I stuck to that world in 2011 because some friends played it, and now I love that even though they’ve all mostly quit, I’ll still bump into an old name I recognise who do the same.
Ewwwww people like huone 105 clan play there, I can't stand the lack of combat knowledge in w105 in general so I never play in it. (Yes I'm finnish and like other elitist fins I stay away from w105 and I recommend that to everyone who want to keep their sanity while playing rs)
World 104 because I used to like playing trouble brewing in like 2007, why it still has a dedicated world I do not know but I use it to pay homage to that.
I used to use world 6 because it was my home world in RSC, I tried using it again for a bit recently and they almost failed a wilderness flash event (Evil Bloodwood Tree) due to too many people leeching so I noped out of there.
W84 because every time I’m there I’m greeted with either someone asking me to give them 10m and I won’t regret it or people spamming “Buying weeds 2k each” Just being there reading the replies is amazing. Not just that, The pulse core hit 😂
Yeah, we're near population cap so there's quite a few tlc_usernames running around. Possibly even some who've been removed from the clan though like 99% of those are folk who haven't been on in a few months.
96, quick chat, it’s almost totally empty and nobody Can talk. I am a grouchy old man and I want to be left alone lmao. I know one could argue that maybe I shouldn’t be playing an MMO if I hate interaction that much but hey, we all love this game
