Thread 1826756

Come play HighSpell
A runescape classic inspired mmo with modern qol
currently there are about 100 players on at any time with peaks of 180

We already have classic runescape with modern qol. What makes this special?

>>1826768
>What makes this special?
rsc is dead
does it have to be special for you to try it out?

>>1826768
its also just a fresh take on the classic formula, new stuff to experience
rsc has already been figured out, but this is new and still developing with more content to come

>>1826792
Calm down I'm only asking for your elevator pitch

no thanks

what's with the weird z-levels ?

>modern qol
buzzword for subhuman zoomers, no thank you

>>1826756 (OP)
It looks bad even compared to run(escape).

>>1843225
It's boomer runescape

Try to lower the number next time. Most private servers can't even reach 100.

>>1826756 (OP)
What's with the pride flags? Is this RuneScape for queers?

>>1826756 (OP)
and whats the gameplay? watching attack skill get from 14 to 15? miss me with this gay shit

>>1826756 (OP)
I tried it but none of my icons load.

i have done nothing but fish in this game for 3 days, it's peak

download the fan made client
https://github.com/HighL1te/HighLiteDesktop
a new world has been added due to the influx of new players

Needs more quests.

>>1845282
This seems to have been an issue with my configuration of FireFox. It worked in qutebrowser and Brave, but the HighLite client worked best:

>>1845899
They really missed an opportunity making the Star of David scroll be anything other than the Alchemy Scroll.

>>1846418
>Star of David
star of remphan*

>>1846103
yeah it needs more quests, sound, and a little more content and it would be kino

Any interest in joining a clan? There's no ingame systems (yet, I hope) but we can start with something on their shitcord for those who use it. 4chin groups like in vscape and the various clans/guilds in /vg/ are usually comfy or at least entertaining.

>>1847153
sure
we dont need to use their discord just post here bro

neva not spooned

>>1826756 (OP)
BUY AN AD

Just started who's got free shit for a noob?

>>1847962
Sent :)

>>1847962
ign?

cool that it was done by a single dude but it seems way too derivative and shallow to justify playing for long, a kind of "we have rsc" at home thing. not seeing this keeping a lot of players other than multiboxers and bots in the long run unless some serious updates are in order. Only 4 quests on a rsc clone is really wonky, that's like 50% of the appeal of runescape

>>1850088
It's got all the core grinding loops and treasure scrolls/rare items which is the REAL appeal of RuneScape

drop party today

Got addicted, I’ve got 6 connections and a 14 minute revolving timer while wfh

Rise and grind

Get to 32 quests and I'll play.

>>1856525
i see you in chat trying to buy coro legs for a fucking while now lmao

Troonspell

>>1856682
There seems to be a healthy anti-troon and troon-indifferent demographic, the new troonscapers from the YouTuber are just particularly vocal.

>>1856525
>multiboxing
actually die in a fire

>>1856893
That isn't multiboxing retard

Serious gaming

Coro leg ain't easy to come by and I'm ready to just by plated

I'm in the noob joiner S curve where midtier shit is expensive

A lot of stuff needs to be renamed. Seeing shit like Celadon City and all the Pacific/Caribbean Island roots takes me out of the game

>>1858078
The root names are based

The best part about this game is making deals

>>1826756 (OP)
this shits gonna be dead in a few months just like genfanad isn't it?

>>1858429
Probably. There's just too little content for a Runescape clone. You NEED quests and an interesting world. Without either, it's a bore to play.

>>1858429
I've not stuck with any RuneScape-like game from Jagex or otherwise for more than a few months since adulthood.

>>1826756 (OP)
Looks promising, but no sound = no play.

>>1860505
sound coming soon™
players are working on creating and implementing their own music tracks, sounds, if the dev doesnt do it

>>1860505
With the HighLite client you can have it chime when your character idles.

Mobascape with these six niggas running around

Scapecraft

Quests when?

>>1861110

OpenRSC exists for that:

>>1862510
only populated world allows botting :\

>>1862588
That's why it's populated.

>runescape

but runescape is shit though

>>1862588
There's global chat if you're feeling lonely.

>>1845275
Most recent update removed emoji support, get rekt YouTube trannies.

Btfo by giga autist bc my highest skills are afk friendly and I’m not clicking enough

Base 60 stats, time to do quests

>>1867443
Base 60 stats? How have you had time for that?

>>1867969
WFH afk grinding and my alts do all my skilling

>>1867979
That sounds nice. What kind of work do you do?

>>1869118
he does nothing hes a fucking neet

Kenzo here, I clicka the tree.

selling oak scrolls and lucky logs

anyone selling the elemental staves?

>>1826792
Not a great salesman anon

What are the first couple of hours of gameplay like?

>>1826768
>>1875116
It's basically RSC aesthetic with closer to a RS2 playstyle in a novel setting with some new takes on the skills. Within a very short amount of time you can get enough food and armor to explore most of the map, which is mostly what I did with my first couple hours. From there what you do will be largely determined by how you like to play these sorts of games. I found it to be a charming little world and I've been playing at least a little bit almost every day since seeing this thread and deciding to check it out.

>>1826756 (OP)
How many versions of retardation do you aging faggots need?

Half the players are troons since that video

>>1881046
A vocal minority, their presence is projected to decline by 41%.

>>1881046
yeah a lot of em but they should die out once they get bored

What's the trajectory for the game? A membership? How about sound?

>>1884229
>membership?
Doesn't seem likely.
>How about sound?
Supposedly in the works.

will this ever get a run option or is that too modern for rsc boomers?

>>1884541
nvm im dumb

>>1884554
There's a plugin for the HighLite client that can toggle run on automatically when you log in. There's no stamina or fatigue system to penalize you for always running (at least not yet, not sure if Dew has some mechanic planned for a future update).

>>1884554
everybody point and laugh at this guy

>>1826819
>those stats
Dew, if that's you posting here, please don't overreact to the shitposters and unleash reddit-tier pmods on the game. A strong block list and the ability to toggle global chat would be far more interesting than allowing top-down censorship to remove the old internet vibe an uncensored chat naturally develops. One can practically hear the Discord trannies masturbating between keystrokes while fantasizing about a possible opportunity to force their will on the playerbase.

>>1889670
No players are 100 HP

The 0 info in the web is truly 2025 experience AAA devs

>>1881452
If you have 200 troons and 41% disappear, what happens?
You have 118 troons.
Lose 41% again and you have 69.
Lose 41% again and you have 40.
Lose 41% again and you have 23.
Lose 41% again and you have 13.
Lose 41% again and you have 7.
Lose 41% again and you have 4.
Lose 41% again and you have 2.
Lose 41% again and you have 1.
Lose 41% again and you get an elf.
Lose 41% again and you get a dwarf.
Lose 41% again and you get a gnome.
Lose 41% again and you get a fairy.

>>1892503
Correct, only Dew's development account has 100 HP.

>>1876935
Here's a map with some markers.

the player count is inflated by everyone having 5 alts

>>1897036
plus another 6 for each VPN

man id love to play this in rs2 format

about to get 30 mining
if that leprechaun quest gives me a shit reward i probably wont keep playing

>>1901977
That quest was one of the first things I did because I wanted the hat. Keep in mind it's the quest with the second-lowest requirements so it has the second-lowest reward.

>>1902169
yes the reward was a bit mediocre since i got tons of money (early game wise) from smithing/mining to do it
i got a barbarian helm now. at base 20s. fishing at the moment, not sure what else to do or prepare for other than the dragon quest

>>1892640
Are the troons gone yet?

>>1903347
>i got tons of money (early game wise) from smithing/mining to do it
Did you sell items to shops or make arrowheads?

Are there any partyhat tier items yet? ;) Haha time to buy bitcoin at 1 cent !!!

Shows over, no more infinite run.

>>1924081
Three colors of Santa hats are confirmed to be discontinued items. The "Christmas Present" item that they come from is presumably also discontinued, but this isn't confirmed.

>>1924081
how are you gonna expect real life money demand on a game of this size?

>>1858429
genfanad died because it became a cardgame randomly

this games really fun. anyone else partying?

>>1934371
I haven't had time recently but I want to get back into it. How's athletics?

>>1934384
It's athletics. I like clicking in circles but its not really changed at all from RS.

>>1924104
all the shit to steal from runescape and they take the worst skill everyone hates

>>1934427
is rsc dead? I thought people still play it

>>1934460
It's not. Anon is calling anon a liar.

where do I get bot scripts? I'm not going to tank the economy or anything I'm just autistic.

>>1935824
>how do I cheat at the autism stim game without doing the autism stim part of the game or getting autistic about writing my own scripts
>I'm just autistic guys
OpenRSC has botting servers and a botting community if you're into that.

>>1935824
hey im against botting but you can learn some pyautogui scripting since botting scripts for this game are slim to none

>>1934460
it was closed down years ago

>>1941058
I assume they mean OpenRSC.
https://rsc.vet/

>>1858019
People are smithing coro now.

>>1826756 (OP)
Is it like a surviving game? and is it available on mobile?

>>1941102
My bad, yes thats the one

Looks interesting.
I'll try it once my ironman is at a stage where I need to do some long semi-afk grinds.
How similar are all the skills to osrs? On the surface they seem pretty identical.

>>1948874
Similar enough to be familiar but different enough to offer some novelty.
