26-Oct-2009 - Anti-‘76k’ing Measures


As many of you know, since the opening of PvP Worlds, ‘76k’ing has become a very common practice. We’ve never been happy about this as we believe it spoils the game experience for players who want to play on PvP Worlds as intended and exhibit their PvP skills, with high rewards for high risks, rather than it being a safe method for earning large amounts of money. Looking at our forums, it looks like many players feel the same way.

Designing and developing a solution to this issue that worked, but which did not lessen the rewards for legitimate kills, turned out to be rather tricky. We’re hopeful that the solution we’ve come up with will reduce 76King without having too significant an impact on legitimate PKers.

Players who trade kills will find that the drop they receive is lessened in value. Legitimate PKers might find that some of their kills will result in smaller drops (e.g. when getting revenge on someone who has just killed you), but since you’ll still only lose as much Earning Potential as is used for the drop, your average drop will stay the same.

well i hope enough people don't beat it as mangle suggests can be done (btw i think i know a way - probably the same as what mangle's thinking)

I really hope prices start to drop - maybe now I can finish smithing! (prices have already dropped 147 gp on addy bars)

It's not as easy as you may think, it can be done but would take much more effort and is no longer worth it.

Fair enough. It was always obviously not within the intent of the game, though not cheating... so people can't really complain if it has been made harder to do. Here's a thought, though: Play the game for fun?

Playing for fun doesn't = skill capes. Playing for fun means playing to lvl 10 and quitting to be productive in real life lol!

The 3 person way doesn't work. There was a topic on the rs forums about it. There would have to be endless people standing around killing each other in an organized and predetermined fashion to do it. The effort required would be unreal.
