I read your ideas for 'RuneScape Renewal Server', CarlZaros, and I am aware of your project - and I have to say that I disagree with them wholeheartedly. I am not a fan of people proposing the addition of ridicuously overpowered content and you have taken this to a whole new level. I have never seen anyone to suggest anything remotely like this, and that is not intended to be a compliment.

Many of your suggestions even break the rules of our Wiki: Rules 1 (All pages must abide by Jagex's rules), 3 (Pages should not have content that goes against strongly established and important canon) and 4 (Please do not make any fan fiction too overpowered). NSFW content is not exactly against the rules anymore, but I find the sheer amount of NSFW you have posted so to be very disturbing, as well as the amount of detail you go to. In fact, Jagex has said that they are not going to add nudity, sex or private servers to the game, and you propose all three. Since Jagex has multiple times stated that none of those things is going to happen, they are violation of Rule 3. Tier 150 equipment, utterly overpowered content, experience rates ridiculous on an astronomical scape and completely overprized membership system is a direct violation of Rule 4, and I can pretty safely say that at least something in your suggestion goes against Jagex's own rules, so the violation of Rule 1 is most likely present.

Anyways, you wanted to hear my opinion about 150 skills: the 150 skills should not, and could not happen. The thing is, RuneScape cannot handle xp rates larger than 200m. The reason for this is that 2,147,483,647 is the maximum integer value in Java, and since RuneScape is a Java-based game, it cannot exceed this limit. You might ask that if this is the case, then why 2147 million is not the max xp limit instead. Well, the reason for THAT is that Jagex uses decimals in the xp gain system in order to get more accurate xp gains (say, when burning maple logs with the Ring of fire and Flame gloves you get 141,8 xp) and as a result that max amount of xp is divided by ten, since Java does not support decimals. Finally, I presume that Jagex decided to round the max xp cap to 200m, since it looks better. The max exp one could gain if the arbitary limits would be removed is 214,748,364,7, or roughly 214 million xp. However, since RuneScape's levelling system follows a strict mathematical calculation which calculates how much xp you need to get to the next level, the highest level one could achieve, presuming that the xp cap is 214,748,364,7, would be 127.

As a result, in order for for Jagex to make the xp cap, they'd have to remove decibals from their game calculations, either multiply all xp gains and  by 10, or by rounding the xp rates down, which would in some cases be a notable nerf to several training methods. Neither would realistically speaking happen, and the effort that would go to do that would not be worth it. So, I'd recommend to sticking with 120 skills and 200m xp. They have a lot of support by RS community, and could realistically speaking happen. In fact, I can pretty much say that even Jagex would agree that 150 skills would be business-wise a bad decision: if anything, the increased amount of effort that would be required to max the game would drive a lot of the current xp-driven community away, since the amount of grind it would take to reach the max level would eat so much of their lives that it'd be better to just switch games.

To summarize, not only is you can see your project against the tules of RuneScape Fanfiction Wiki, but the very way the game functions would prevent it to ever being added. However, I have been hesitant on doing anything about your project. I mean, on one hand I want more people to join to the Wiki in order to make it more active and I'm afraid that if I do something about your project myself, people are less likely to return or start using this wiki, but on the other hand, I do not want people to add content to the Wiki that goes against its guidelines/rules, turning the Wiki into a cesspit not worth of maintaining at all. So, if you'd ask me, I'd advice you to instead of working on RuneScape Renewal Server, you could contribute to the Wiki through some other fashion, say, improving the quality of the existing pages. Of course, that is just my opinion, but I do not look your project kindly, mind you. I apologize if I might've sounded a bit harsh, but the thing is, I simply disagree with your idea.

That should cover everything I have to say for now. If you have anything to ask or comment, feel free to: I visit this Wiki on a daily basis, so you should get an answer fairly quickly.
