I quit - putting restrictions on world hopping is insane. Even multi logging can get you banned…Well ok i had to bite through that - but putting restrictions and time limits on world hopping is madly insane. I just get a penalty if I want to hop a world because I don’t want to crash other players like mining coal? And for that I get a time restriction. Lmao devs get your heads out your behinds. FFS

It is authentic. It will not change back to the previous behavior. We care more about authenticity than qol sorry!!
The hop timer should have been in the game since day one. The only reason it wasn’t present on launch is because this is beta and it wasn’t an immediate priority.
I do sympathize with you however - nobody had any idea we’d hit 700+ concurrent players, and our demographic changed a lot after launch so I understand where your viewpoint comes from.
Understand that this project is not about player choice or QoL - the authenticity is the entire experience. I hope you are able to adjust your expectations rather than leaving outright.

Ain’t nobody got time for that! 
This is the best approach. Authenticity is very important on such project.
i think the iteration on preserving 04 the good and bad rather than taking on the opinion of the masses will effect the server negatively.
i understand it’s you guys server and you can do as you please but the player count is already dropping dramatically and i wouldn’t like to see the server die due to stubbornness

There are 665 people online currently, and to date we have only peaked slightly above 700. I don’t see this singular change affecting player count much by itself.
Player count will drop naturally over time as people finish their f2p runs, then it will kick back up again when p2p content releases.

yeah, i get it. politely giving someone that was their first their space and then being greeted by a login screen that is seemingly reprimanding you is a bit jarring. it threw me off the first time it happened to me (didn’t read the update kekw).
that said, i don’t think it will kill the game. it’s technically a restoration project anyways. at the end of the day, 45 seconds is just that, 45 seconds. isn’t that long. good chance to stretch, grab a snack.
competing for resources in a player vs. environment vs. player manner is pretty fun i think. mining and firemaking are cutthroat skilling pvp and i love it. compete for the ore, screw someone’s line of fire up so their already non-afk skill is even more non-afk

The whole point of this server is to preserve authenticity. The login timer and world hoping restrictions were like that in the real game as well, so I dont see it being changed, because it would go against the main mantra of the server.
damn bruh I’m gonna miss you :[ it was fun fishing with you on day 3! I hope you’ll come back when p2p gets added
also if anyone wants to buy my imp beads pm me in game L0L

The only authenticity that it’s living up to is the Jagex level of being a pain in the ass. This should be implemented from the start. Players that world hopped training mining or whatever had a huge advantage in this case - and you call that authenticity? That’s just a middlefinger to the face. If the topic was not “that important” to have it on launch, it should never have been implemented afterwards. Just my 2 cents.

Btw the timer was introduced in 2007 so don’t call it authenticity
you should change the name to 2007 instead of 2004
This is incorrect, we have sources of the hop timer existing in November 2004: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSO-ilQk5XY&t=542s
It is authentic.
I do agree with this very much 
but this is a beta and the server is still being built. We won’t have everything authentic all at once. Your feedback is appreciated - thank you for beta testing.
Cry about it. Accept you aren’t the target audience for this project and move on.

You’re citing a video uploaded in 2011 with a title claiming ‘2004’—and you call that evidence? That’s not just weak; that’s straight-up cringe. World hop timers were introduced in 2007 because of rampant abuse before that. The team right now just getting ahead of the usual nonsense complaints. And by the way, between 2007-2012, the timer was four seconds, not forty.
Oh, I accepted that right away, buddy. No need to get your head stuck where the sun doesn’t shine—I’m not that kind of nerd.
