Streaming rank

Recommended Posts

I think making a streaming rank would be beneficial.

  1. Runewild will get streamed more = more players.
  2. People will get motivated and start streaming. As the streaming rank gives a "status" to the streamer/player.
  3. (optional) Currently, there is a command that David uses when he streams (!live), make something similar to that if that is possible. Example: !live IGN (so the command would be !live and the name of the player, this would only be available to the streamers with the streaming rank) Again not sure if this is possible but it's a suggestion.

Requirements for the Streaming rank?
Not sure about that.
Feel free to leave a requirement.

Not sure about the streamer rank as we have a youtube rank for that.

I like the idea of !live IGN though thats neat.

As stated by @JustinI think the YouTube rank serves well enough, for streamers and content creators. 

As far as the idea of a command goes I think it's a nice idea in theory but not achievable as it means the client code must be updated every time some person obtains a YouTube rank. The reason being: because people might use the same username when streaming or use different streaming services (YouTube, Twitch, Etc.). Therefor all the to commands with the right link would have to be manually coded into the client since there is no default code-line like there is for example for going to forum topics. 

FOR EXAMPLE: 
For runewild topics this is a standard link:

<<!topic 198 = https://www.runewild.com/forums/topic/198>>
<<!topic (#)= https://www.runewild.com/forums/topic/#>>

For runewild streaming it takes you to the default YouTube channel of runewild:

<<!live = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAt_6kCe5QAaRpDVN1Z4TnA>>
(the runewild youtube channel not the streaming link !)

For custom streaming to a certain username this would be the following:

<<!live (insert name here) = https://www.twitch.tv/Insert name here>>
<<!live osku = https://www.twitch.tv/osku>> this one would be false
(this would be a problem because the real link to osku’s twitch channel is https://www.twitch.tv/oskurs )
<<!live osku = https://www.twitch.tv/oskurs>> this one would be correct , oskurs instead of osku

HOWEVER NOT EVERYONE USES THE SAME STREAMING SERVICE SO PEOPLE WHO USE YOUTUBE OR OTHER STREAMING DEVICES WOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS !!

So the only way this could work is when every youtuber uses twitch to stream and has exactly the same name ingame as their channel name on twitch … which is impossible. Notice how YouTube wouldn’t work because the link doesn’t include the channel name in the link.

Doing this would take up a lot of time that could be put into better use on other updates imo.  I think this is how the code works however i'm not perfect and don't know much about coding in general perhaps there is a way to to get rid of this problem.

Just change the current youtube rank to a media rank and include anyone who makes content

Ye, I'm not sure how the coding works but I knew it would definitely take time to give content creators their own link. Maybe @David could tell us how this exactly works.

Yeah, that's possible as well.

I'd prefer to see streamer ranks and youtube ranks, I think having one for both is sort of confusing.

Streamer rank, with twitch logo ez.

They can decide which one they have/gold play rank.

An easier way to go about it, instead of having separate ranks would just be to rename the youtube rank to "content creator".

I like the second idea better :)
