  1. ~Come one, come all! The Velheim Team would like to officially introduce you to our largest in-game event yet, King Of The Skill!~ THE FIRST KING OF THE SKILL HAS NOW CONCLUDED! Where, and when? This event takes place in-game - you can find the downloads to our varied clients here. It begins on 18/06/2021 at 8PM server time, and concludes at the same time on 03/07/2021. How the event works All users participating must create new accounts with a specified gamemode in order to compete in this event. Similar to RuneScape Leagues, this event will pit you against other players, competing for the highest total level and experience. These accounts will have restricted access to our game; they will not be allowed to interact with accounts that are not participating in the event, meaning you're not allowed any outside help. These accounts have a 5x experience modifier as well as a 0% drop-rate increase. All statistics will be able to be tracked via the use of our official Velheim hiscores. The event will run for a total of two weeks, but extensions may apply in the event of server issues, at which point the event will be extended subject to the amount of downtime that the server experienced Event Rules and Regulations 1 - You must follow all of the Velheim rules found here. 2 - You're not allowed to abuse exploits to get further ahead in the event (for example, bugs that you discover.) Those found breaching this rule will have their account removed from the competition and permanently banned. 3 - You will not be able to interact with other players (Ironman restrictions apply). 4 - Mystery Boxes, Squeal of Fortune and Grand Exchange will be disabled. 5 - After the event concludes, your account will be reverted to regular ironmen. 6 - Account sharing is strictly forbidden. If caught, both perpetrators (or however many abuse this) will be permanently banned from the game. 7 - If players gain the maximum amount of experience possible in all skills - the winners will be determined by their prestige levels (and total final EXP in case of same prestige/total levels). 8 - All store purchases (donations) will be disabled to level the playing field for all players. However, bonds (and game perks) will still be available to obtain via in-game methods. 9 - Donation transfers will not be available for the new gamemode accounts. This also includes perk gifting through the game perks interface as well as gifting bonds! Prizes (The first three winners will receive an exclusive 'King of the Skill' title in-game as well as the exclusive Treborn pet. These rewards will be put on the winners main account of choice.) First Place - $2,000 USD or Velheim Coins Second Place - $1,000 USD or Velheim Coins Third Place - $500 USD or Velheim Coins Achievement Rewards Most Boss Pets - $150 USD or Velheim Coins Most Skilling Pets - $150 USD or Velheim Coins Most Unique Items in Collection Log - $150 USD or Velheim Coins Most Wealth Accumulated - $150 USD or Velheim Coins Edits: The event ends on 3rd of July, 8PM server time (extended due to early server issues) King of the Skill game-mode accounts will be reverted to regular Ironman; from there players will be able to de-iron and choose either Novice or Regular mode if they wish to do so

  5. He's drunk, no one even mentioned PvP. And he's wrong also. People would play legacy PvP. Servers just not ready to be Marketed for Pvp yet.

  10. Sand, first and foremost, thank you for all your hard work & time you invest into the server. No one can fault you for all the content we've recieved even recently after the birth of your child(Congratulations again!). Unfortunately... I can't help but become frustrated because although you're pushing out content, some of the content is incomplete. Being the First server to have the Essence of Finality, or the Mining & Smithing Rework, or Archeology are all fantastic feats. We all get a huge rush whenever you push out one of these updates. However, once the nuance fades, we see the glaring problems that come with missing content. Much of the problems aren't gamebreaking - but nuisances. I'll give a few examples. 1. Essence of Finality - This update came out THE SAME DAY as Jagex released it. It was exciting. It was fun. It was exactly what our little baby needed for its Legacy combat. However, you & I discussed how we thought it should work, and you coded it. We weren't completely off the ball... but now we can see that it doesn't have all its intended functionality. We can't use all weapon subtypes with each of the weapons we should be able to. E.g. we should be able to use a Korasi Sword special attack with ANY melee weapon; or use SGB special attack with asc crossbows. This is because we didn't know just how it was going to work - so obviously you're not at fault here. But this could be changed now that we know jagex intended for it to actually be quite flexible - which is kind of out of character for them lol. 2. Invention - The way you've implemented invention into the game was extremely creative, and very fun. I'm glad you'd made up some of your own recipes for gizmos which we had to figure out for ourselves back when it was first released(I think most of them are just rs3 mixes now that ancient invention has been released). We love the custom interfaces, and the donation-invention-perk is fantastic. The new interface you made to create gizmos is outfuckingstanding. Jagex should've had you on their team for that one. Components, possibilties, and selections in the same clean interface. BAMF coder. Sandly, (yeah i just did that) we are missing both tech trees which is causing us to miss out on some pretty great content such as the B.A.N.K Stander(which is gonna be my favorite, fuck whatever @hamderhans has to say bout me XD) Oldak's Coil, and use of quite a few rare components such as pestiferous components. 3. Archeology - Going to cut this one down; Archeology is excellent, but missing content. Plain and Simple. Recommendations for Sandstorm: For large updates definitely go with Batch Updates like Jagex did when they released invention. It is truly an immense amount of content, and releasing it all at once would've caused more problems than it was worth. That said, it may have been better if you did the first Invention release, and then pushed out the rest of inventions content immediately after to avoid going back and forth. The same thing with Archeology mysteries/research, it would've been nice to have those pushed out some time after the main update. I'm sure everyone knows, its usually more time efficient to focus on one task and complete it in its entirety, than work on multiple things at once when it comes to things that require intricate attention. Overall, I think you should let the community compile similar unfinished content pieces and present them in a way that you can hone in and fix/add things. Maybe go Skill by skill for instance. Also, get some of your more trusted players back onto your Beta servers. I know some of us are complete noobs and have just gone on to fuck with Invention Gizmos instead of testing the content you need tested....(I'm not guilty of this. Nope. Not. Even. Slightly. Never. Fuck no. Stop looking at me.) but we definitely want to help, and since most of us can't code, and the rest of us are not allowed to help with coding.... This is one of the best ways for us to help. To the Community: This server has the potential to be here for a very very long time. I don't want us to be so short-sighted as to actually listen to people who are constantly begging for AoD, or Solak to be released oh-so-soon. Sure, you may be getting bored. Maybe some of the content is a bit stale for you because you've PvM'd 2,000 hours with no new boss released... But for the health of the game we should be patient. There is a backlog of untouched content which greatly enhances the gameplay experience. If you're a regular mode player, chances are you have lost touch with what truly makes the game great. You skip over a ton of content. Yes. Most of it is skiller content. But runescape was never meant to be strictly about PvM, or PvP. Most content in the game is Skiller content. Let that sink in. Whenever we skip big pieces of skiller content, PvM is affected. Case and Point: Ancient Invention Gizmos. We've been all begging for Extreme Invention Potions haven't we? These were released September 2018. This is part of 120 herblore content. Why don't we have it? No priority for skilling updates. We can't just pander to PvM updates for player count. Yes, it provides more immediate gratification, but then we also get a net-negative outcome. People thinking the game is buggy, unfinished, unplayable. Perception is reality. We shouldn't be asking Sand to push content that is unhealthy for the longevity of the game and its player base. We don't need new bosses right now. We need to fix what we already got. Why my sense of Agency?: I'm going to address my agency in the matter, just because some people have the "Just, who does he think he is???" line of thinking. Recently, I had someone accuse me of being entitled simply because I'd donated a sum of money to the server. No. I am not entitled. If I felt that I was entitled, I would've made demands of Sand, and been banned a long time ago for being a dumbass. What I am is invested. There is a large difference between being invested in something, and feeling entitled due to actions you've made. Being invested, means that I want to reap the benefits of the servers greater success. Being entitled, means that I feel that I'm owed something from the server &/or Sandstorm. I'm not a fucking idiot... in this particular regard Sandstorm could turn the server off today, cut his losses, cut everyone out of his life, go play with his kid, and start another server in a few years to do it all over again. Ofcourse, I would be entitled to the void left behind. But I would never get the returns on my investment. The return I'm looking for, is to see 1,000+ players all playing an RS3 legacy mode server because Jagex said FUCK Legacy mode players. FUCK anyone who disliked EoC. We're going to deny you any access to the story & world you partook in and helped to build via your INVESTMENT of TIME and MONEY. You know where our entitlement went in December 2012? Right up our asses. So if you think my agency comes from a sense of entitlement, you're deluded. Conclusion: As much as I love *new* content. I'd be happy reviewing everything we've got so far. This is the #1 server out for a reason. Its got a great coder, and a pretty good community of people. We've got the most decent staff team we've had in ages, and a very consistent group of players. I believe if we want to keep climbing player count, we need to do the following things: 1. Revisit Old/Buggy/Incomplete content as a top priority. 2. Balance combat - until the next power creep update Jagex releases. Also stop requesting Sand to make updates that are out of line - e.g. asking for Buffs/Nerfs without doing ANY math or testing whatsoever. Sure, some things are apparent - but just don't assume Sand is going to take the time to do all the testing that actually requires full dedicated Teams on Jagex's staff to do. If you care about more than just your own damn self, please present yourself so I can call your ass up when its time to get Nitty Gritty. Big shout outs to people such as @Throniumclaw, @Fulltimewife , who have helped me test out some of Sands content in the past. There's a bunch of others, but I my brain can always pick those two out easily. 3. Fix community structure & ;;rules - Help fc is still a clusterfuck of conversations. Most of the time it's chill; sometimes it gets out of hand, and staff deals with it. Some players take things the wrong way. Just rename Help fc to - General. It doesn't need to be implied its for Help. ;;rules need to be updated seriously. "Mike Tyson" is still being used to replace the N word, which is racist in and of itself. I don't know why staff has ignored me the last 10 times I've mentioned it. Grey areas need to be minimal. Staff Discretion shouldn't be the first line of determination of whether or not someone is out of line. It should be apparent by matching ;;rules to a players behavior. It's not explicit enough. I'm sure staff has had internal discussion on it, but we've not seen any results. That is all.
