Accounts in the new server

[Matt]

Many of you may be wondering what happens to your Havenworld game accounts when we start the new server in roughly a few months time. The answer is not simple, but you will be rewarded for your current progress fairly depending on your levels and items. Accounts will not be reset.

1. Any level you have must be reduced because it is not fair on new players if all the old players already have super-high levels. We will do this by halving your XP.

2. For every two experience points we take off each level, you get one coin. So if you had 100,000,000 Woodcutting XP, your new account would have 50,000,000 Woodcutting XP but you would also have 25M added to your bank.

3. All banked items will be sold for shop value, and every player will have the net value of their bank accounts in coins in their bank automatically. For rarer items, we will modify the shop values so you get the 'street' price for these items. This is to ensure some players do not have items which will be unreleased in the new server, or they could have an unfair advantage of being able to sell these rare expensive items.

If I haven't mentioned something important here it's probably because I didn't consider it, so if you have any queries regarding this mechanism, please feel free to post them.

I will create a page which tells you exactly how your old account will be converted to a new one, so if you have any serious issues you can contact me. But for now, enjoy the current server. We wont be releasing the new source for quite a few months, so just play and have fun.

So ever two experience points you take off each lvl what you mean by that and ever two experience points you give use 1 coin?

And i think that a good idea but i got the only h'ween mask in-game i dont want to sell it to shop for like 100k im the only 1 in-game?

Thanks.

Say these were some of your xp levels:
30,000,000 Woodcutting
20,000,000 Firemaking
15,000,000 Fletching

On the new server they would be halved, so your new xp levels would be:
15,000,000 Woodcutting
10,000,000 Firemaking
07,500,000 Fletching

In each case you have lost different amounts of xp. The xp lost is the same as the xp remaining because the xp is simply halved. You are given coins depending on the xp you have had taken off you, so for every two experience points lost you gain one coin. Simply put, just half the xp you have left over to calculate the individual value in coins.

So for each skill you would gain the following amounts of money:
07,500,000 from Woodcutting
05,000,000 from Firemaking
03,750,000 Fletching

Giving you a net return of 16,250,000 Coins.

Oh also, about rare items. If a rare item has a low shop value (Party Hats are worth 10gp iirc), we will just modify the shop value to an appropriate amount. When we undergo the switchover we will allow you to post requests to change the shop value of certain items, so nothing will be left out.

Thanks matt i understand it a bit better now, could you tell me how much my skills will be and my rare? will the price in shop be like eg 10gp-1m or will it be like 100m-1b? or will it be a rubbish price?

Thanks for all the hard work and righting all that.

Thanks.

I've made this to calculate the amount of money you get from your levels. If you have a high level in a skill (above 70), halving the XP doesn't actually reduce the level by that much and you get a lot of money from it.

Change 1 to your account ID (found by clicking your name next to each post and using the u=number in the url).

I'll be modifying the page soon so it shows more details such as bank value, and I'll make it get your ID automatically so you can't see other peoples banks
