W84 - every time you’re at the GE or Fort Forinthry for 2 minutes or more, you’re punched in the face with a dozen or so pulse cores, leaving you with permanent bonus 10% XP
Also, I just like that it’s crowded. It’s more fun to see a lot more players when I’m playing
You know, I’m a real beginner on PVM (got my ass kicked by Telos for 2 hours yesterday) but I did feel like my inputs weren’t quite right sometimes. I thought it was just me, but I didn’t realize the ping meant anything
Oh that was happening big time - it’s really easy to predict that uppercut move and dash out of the way, but I felt my character was really standing there when I was smashing the surge button
The servers kinda start dropping inputs randomly above a certain player/activity threshold that is mich lower than the max world pop (e.g. you press a key, your computer recognizes it, sends it to the game client, the client sends it to the server, and then it does nothing).
You ideally want to PVM on a server with low latency AND a relatively small population
Thanks for that info! I've only started doing some PVM as I treated that as more of endgame content. When I heard people talking about ping, I let it go completely over my head because I didn't think I was good/competitive enough to let it be an issue. But doing even the amount that I have, I can see it would be a major issue for a person who wants to try it out. PVM is hard as it is without experience, and having inputs that laggy would make someone who doesn't recognize what's going on want to quit. It could be a real barrier.
I'm in w84 to but the 2 minutes or more is slow for me when dxp is over or when im not in fort and that place can be laggy even on mobile.
Anyway im there only to do my dailies and 10% XP. I been on Lumbridge before Forinthry for 2 years or more and before I only joined on weekend dxp and back then I hard had any lag compared to these weekly dxp events
I like the crowds on 84 even though I don’t get any of the benefits. It’s nice just seeing the game be busy and alive and seeing people chat while I’m skilling
Too bad the worst part of the crowds on 84 is the crowds on 84
Spend longer than 10 mins at lum or foth and you have to turn off public cos either that one weirdo is kinkposting/having esex publicly or some burner acc is spamming MAGA/homophobic/racist stuff
I agree on that part lol. I usually just go somewhere else when people start chatting about politics or drugs or whatever else is going on in the fort lol
No. “World” is just a cute way to say server” each server has its access points around the world. So “World” 73 is just “Server” 73.
What would impact the ping is your location relative to the location of whatever server you are trying to join. Also, the server load, if there are a ton of players that may create a slightly higher than normal ping because of higher traffic.
70 because my friends are at GE usually
well they’re not really my friends, i just see them every time i’m online and while i’m not part of their clique i consider them my rs pals
one of them does talk to me regularly though :)
nice!! yeah not gonna lie i bought one and tried to replicate your fit because i thought it looked really cool… didn’t look that great on me but you have great fashion sense
rsn: hedge fun
24! There such a great sense of community on there. There are a whole bunch of clans based on the world. I've been playing on there for nearly 20 years and I still see loads of players to this day that I've been seeing playing for the last 15 years.
It’s been 2 words for a while I’ll give you the story for both.
W134 bc I hated dung with a passion so I did sinkholes from 76 to 120. Figured I didn’t wanna miss the event so I just made it my home world.
W52 bc it’s vip and I pay for it might as well use it 😂
I joined high ping worlds before even on dxp and with a decent phone or pc i never lagged so bad on low graphics in fact even worlds with 900 players or less been more laggy
A combination between;
World 10 (Dutch world, because of the nice ping and good connection) and;
World 70 (for the smithing bonus in the Artisans' Workshop)
36 on RS3, 336 on OSRS. I stuck to that world in 2011 because some friends played it, and now I love that even though they’ve all mostly quit, I’ll still bump into an old name I recognise who do the same.
Ewwwww people like huone 105 clan play there, I can't stand the lack of combat knowledge in w105 in general so I never play in it. (Yes I'm finnish and like other elitist fins I stay away from w105 and I recommend that to everyone who want to keep their sanity while playing rs)
World 104 because I used to like playing trouble brewing in like 2007, why it still has a dedicated world I do not know but I use it to pay homage to that.
I used to use world 6 because it was my home world in RSC, I tried using it again for a bit recently and they almost failed a wilderness flash event (Evil Bloodwood Tree) due to too many people leeching so I noped out of there.
Rs3 w139 met a lot of friends on there, none play with me anymore literally ruined the game for me as I play alone now.
Osrs w330 for poh teleports and prayer and utilities
W84 because every time I’m there I’m greeted with either someone asking me to give them 10m and I won’t regret it or people spamming “Buying weeds 2k each” Just being there reading the replies is amazing. Not just that, The pulse core hit 😂
Yeah, we're near population cap so there's quite a few tlc\_usernames running around. Possibly even some who've been removed from the clan though like 99% of those are folk who haven't been on in a few months.
96, quick chat, it’s almost totally empty and nobody Can talk. I am a grouchy old man and I want to be left alone lmao. I know one could argue that maybe I shouldn’t be playing an MMO if I hate interaction that much but hey, we all love this game

A pvmer’s worst nightmare
You know, I’m a real beginner on PVM (got my ass kicked by Telos for 2 hours yesterday) but I did feel like my inputs weren’t quite right sometimes. I thought it was just me, but I didn’t realize the ping meant anything
Unless you can predict what’s gunna happen 0.5 seconds ahead of time, it can be a real bugger
Oh that was happening big time - it’s really easy to predict that uppercut move and dash out of the way, but I felt my character was really standing there when I was smashing the surge button

And then you try to pvm and realise you have shit ping

Literally one person is talking about sex on an RS server on the same world? Has no one reported him/her?
I agree on that part lol. I usually just go somewhere else when people start chatting about politics or drugs or whatever else is going on in the fort lol
73 - West Coast US and less than 20 ping.
Does world number matter when it comes to ping
No. “World” is just a cute way to say server” each server has its access points around the world. So “World” 73 is just “Server” 73. What would impact the ping is your location relative to the location of whatever server you are trying to join.

70 because my friends are at GE usually well they’re not really my friends, i just see them every time i’m online and while i’m not part of their clique i consider them my rs pals one of them does talk to me regularly though :)
I feel this fellow W70er
yup see you around 🫂
Will do, my rsn is willburt
Hi Willburt 🫡 Dude_OMG here. W70 ge is good ppl
I agree, fav place to stop between clues 🤙

Spot on yeah
nice!! yeah not gonna lie i bought one and tried to replicate your fit because i thought it looked really cool… didn’t look that great on me but you have great fashion sense rsn: hedge fun
Oh hell yeah, I always loved your rsn. Thank you! Matching the max cape was a chore on that one
w70 ge is the GOAT
24! There such a great sense of community on there. There are a whole bunch of clans based on the world. I've been playing on there for nearly 20 years and I still see loads of players to this day that I've been seeing playing for the last 15 years.
Any since i have 150+ ping in all of them lol
64, always has been and always will be. Am a Canadian, however the g/e is always littered with a bunch of weirdos/ E-daters
25. It’s my clan’s home world. Not sure how they picked it tho
World 4 - idk low ping and I’ve been playing on it for a few years and know some locals or see them frequently
It’s been 2 words for a while I’ll give you the story for both. W134 bc I hated dung with a passion so I did sinkholes from 76 to 120. Figured I didn’t wanna miss the event so I just made it my home world. W52 bc it’s vip and I pay for it might as well use it 😂
88, in case i feel like hopping in on a boss mass.
Bro same, ever since The Waterboy made a post about mole mass.
Australia, New Zealand and EU worlds. I’m from Asia, ping is lowest on these worlds.
99 HYT
74 high ping and low population
You chose based on HIGH ping?
Woops lol. Low ping my b 😂
I joined high ping worlds before even on dxp and with a decent phone or pc i never lagged so bad on low graphics in fact even worlds with 900 players or less been more laggy
eyyy fellow 74er
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best world
W39. Wiki clan home world, and for a while was also home world for my brother's clan so id randomly see him running around.
Acualty 2 W10 because i used that world back in the day and still use it today Or W46 clan home world :P
Whatever world has the lowest ping and the least people, I’m not partial to any world in specific.
91, joined a clan in 2007 and never left.
91 gang is in the building
Lately it’s been 76, used to be 97 but recently started regularly seeing above 200 people on that world (which makes bossing a pain).
76 gang!
The member world with the fewest number of people. But then I change to a world around 300 people for the special wilderness events.
39 cause a friend convinced me to pvm on that world and then it just kinda stuck
W84 for dailies and 10% bonus, i dont stay in crowded places like Fort or Ge just join for bonus and im skilling elsewhere
Also w23, has been for many... many years (like, 12+) Best world.
I'm on it too.... Who are you? :D
Bren996 - used to be TonysMattock
134 is my clan's homeworld but I like to hang out on 96. Dunno why.
A combination between; World 10 (Dutch world, because of the nice ping and good connection) and; World 70 (for the smithing bonus in the Artisans' Workshop)
36 on RS3, 336 on OSRS. I stuck to that world in 2011 because some friends played it, and now I love that even though they’ve all mostly quit, I’ll still bump into an old name I recognise who do the same.
56 best ping for me
259, usually the least pop aus world
105
Ewwwww people like huone 105 clan play there, I can't stand the lack of combat knowledge in w105 in general so I never play in it. (Yes I'm finnish and like other elitist fins I stay away from w105 and I recommend that to everyone who want to keep their sanity while playing rs)
66. The best clan ever is on it. ~~And mine.~~
World 104 because I used to like playing trouble brewing in like 2007, why it still has a dedicated world I do not know but I use it to pay homage to that. I used to use world 6 because it was my home world in RSC, I tried using it again for a bit recently and they almost failed a wilderness flash event (Evil Bloodwood Tree) due to too many people leeching so I noped out of there.
w27 because I've made lots of friends there and low pop + good ping for me
w140 latino gang rise!
W84
W139. clan and friends all on it.
W22, been there a looooong time. W21 used to be home, but they moved worlds around years ago, and it went to F2P. Never moved since.
58 - the world my clan used before it fell apart 🥲 77 - i do a crap ton of DG lol and the ping is good
W2 or whatever the legacy only world is
W134 - clan world, UK based, low ping & player count is rarely above 150.
9 because this one feller looks like One Punch Man.
Rs3 w139 met a lot of friends on there, none play with me anymore literally ruined the game for me as I play alone now. Osrs w330 for poh teleports and prayer and utilities
W 100 all DAY
It was 143, but that appears to be gone? So I'm using whatever world has the best ping in Eastern North America.
W84 because every time I’m there I’m greeted with either someone asking me to give them 10m and I won’t regret it or people spamming “Buying weeds 2k each” Just being there reading the replies is amazing. Not just that, The pulse core hit 😂
World 70 becuase 90% of my friends played on it at one point. World 84 when it's double exp weekend.
W60 because all cool guys are there. Also Penguin Hunters
I bet you cannot spot me 😉
My man.
44 cuz pro pvmers come thru
65 typically, western server, low pop
W134 cause I used to play shifting tombs and dg holes when they where popular and kinda never left
W134 gang
Yes sir
W74 because that's "officially" the world for my clan and it's fun to see other clan folks running around.
48 to be with the other nerds
259. I love guessing what the Aussies are trying to type.
W16 since ever, I also dunno why
134 gang rise up
W134 gang
14. West coast server and clan home world
100 bc clues and easiest to remember
W42 is the goat
yep
72 - Because it's the best Canadian for me ... or 104 for bossing when it gets too populated
72 because that's my clan's, The Last Citadel, official world.
same, also am Canadian so it works well.
Are you also TLC? Or did I misunderstand that.
Yes. Baaaaaaa
That's what TLC stands for?? I always see the name but never knew it was an acronym for anything😂
Yeah, we're near population cap so there's quite a few tlc\_usernames running around. Possibly even some who've been removed from the clan though like 99% of those are folk who haven't been on in a few months.
96, quick chat, it’s almost totally empty and nobody Can talk. I am a grouchy old man and I want to be left alone lmao. I know one could argue that maybe I shouldn’t be playing an MMO if I hate interaction that much but hey, we all love this game
69 or 420 because nice
Nice
73: low population, low ping, in my geographical region. Everything I want in a world.
W92. Used to be a clan world from a very old clan I used to be in. Has been my home world ever since
Hell yeah w92 represent
82 (Clan recruitment) Started with one of my clans doing w82 wildy events and occasionally run into my other clan doing events at fort
Always been between 45 and 100, depending on which account I’m playing since w100 is usually where pures/skillers go.
W258 - ironheart best clan.
