The "vetting" process

I posted this idea on the RSC forums. Quick find code: 50-51-474-60473505

Hello everyone, Cremeans0 here and I have an idea of sorts.

You might want to be sitting down for this, I'll wait. Everyone is sitting down I hope. Paul I see you, get down from the ceiling fan!

Anyway, what would everyone think about the idea of Jagex allowing none veteran players of Runescape Classic access to world 1?

Now if this was allowed I think it should be done if a few requirements were met.

Those requirements could be:

1k Total Level
Completion of Legends quest
"Served" 1 year playing RSC. *

* What I mean by serve is that the account has been created on RSC for at least 1 year. That means the users who just created their accounts within the last 6 months reopening would be applicable within the year for their "start" date. Accounts which were reset would fall under that same category unless Jagex holds records that did show a previous start date.

Now the limitations of this idea would go to how could Jagex enforce this change.

For the completion of Legends quest they would have to add a few lines of code, which would recognize it's completion meant one of the requirements to access W1 was met. The same method could be applied to once 1k+ total level is reached that information is stored as a recognition, part "b" access requirement met, etc.

The other possible way to go about viewing those who have reached the proposed requirements would be setting up a thread for players to post on. Once they believe they have done all the tasks outlined, they would post their name and would gain access accordingly.

That was done to similar effect when the RSC forums were closed to "outsiders" before the game was reopened.

If any of you want to offer your views to this, feel free. If you think this should not be done at all state why or if you wish to add what you feel would be more "acceptable" requirements to access the vet world.

It just my feeling that once you have completed legends quest you should be seen as one, a true vet of RSC.

After all in order to complete legends quest you basically must have all skills to lv 50 and beat all quests in the game.

Doing that, to me seems like a show of great effort on the part of any player. It shows that the player is skilled and most likely knowledgeable about the game.

This also allows the new players of RSC a goal to aim for. If I was not a "vet" already I would see this challenge as being awesome.

- I complete all the quests, get my skills up and play for a year and I get the access a whole "new" server! Epic win ^_^
