Game modes:
Lower the Normal Game mode from 200x to 50x.
Lower the Novice Game mode from 50x to 10x. (as a novice player i feel the xp rate is too high for my taste)
(Maybe lower the Ironman xp rate if they community wants that as well to eg 5x)
New ironman Classic mode of 2x.
Potential Seasonal game mode? Need ppl to vote on that, but eg. You have x-amount of months to compete. Could have certain limitations/restrictions for each season. Eg: one seasons you have permanent aggression potion effect(creates a challenge)
Winners are rewarded with the Crown of Supremacy which eventually becomes the Crown of Legends. Along with the crown, players also unlock an emote and a new title corresponding to the competition that they won. New hiscore, maybe even some irl money rewards for the top 3. Especially give not only new player a chance of exceeding in hiscore but also for veterans to have something new to fight for.
Voting
I'd like to see the return of mystery boxes with maybe new items in them for Vote party, should encourage more to vote. A billboard hiscore for voters, top monthly/overall. Through this billboard players might be able to claim rewards instead of staff members have to manually add it :shrugs:
PVM
I really like to see something like this implemented to encourage more pvm and introduce new players to all the bosses. Can also have something similar for skilling, currently double xp in fishing guild for 1h or whatnot.
TASK
I still think a Task/achievement system will do wonders, help new players on their feet. I can imagine a lot of new players have no clue where to start,
Prestige
I'd liked to see prestige billboard hiscore in-game.
Battlepass
Even tho some might critique it, i still think it's a good thing. Perhaps even some daily logins for new players? constantly log in for 10 days in a row, each day they unlock something which might help them on the grind.
Advertisement
I'd recommend a new updated banner(animated one) plus update some of the text with more new relevant content. Probably some staff member can assist with it or player.
Youtubers wise, i mean, I see some of them put like zero fucking effort into the video which is just shameful. Like they record for 30min edit in 10 and call it a day(not you noob). So not sure it's right way to go tbh, unless it's a series base. Road to max/comp/gw3/telos weapons etc etc.
Maybe a new website design, i think i know a team who could make a cool one. First introduction is quite important one.
A trailer? a proper trailer would be neat, less than 1min to showcase what the server has to offer (perfect for those with short attention span)
C*nt move, get bots, advertise on f2p rs3 servers.
Community manager
Having a community manager would be nice, so what's their job? more or less create events, skilling, hide n seek, pvm, pvp, blah blah blah. They will get an exclusive icon/title as well payed for their work. Now, rather than hiring some random inbred from another RSPS who works as a CM there, i'd recommended to looking at the player base instead. Someone who has been around for a while, who knows the server more or less in-n-out. Someone with good interpersonal skills, who plays alot.
An example is how Alora Community managers handle it. Seems to be highly appreciate by that community.
