About this page

Every 15 minutes the sampler looks up each player on the roster in the official Hardcore Worlds hiscores (one lookup per player) and keeps their total level, XP and skills; XP/h, the last six hours and the estimate to the goal come from those readings. The goal is total level 2376, every one of the 24 skills at 99, Sailing included.

  • The Hardcore Worlds hiscores table refused this server's request (HTTP 403, the source's bot check) at 14 Nov 08:52 UTC. Game Pulse does not try to get around it. Next attempt after 09:22 UTC. The board does not need it: it is built from the tracked roster, looked up player by player.
  • The # column is the place among the players this site tracks; the official hiscores rank under each name counts every Hardcore Worlds player, so the two differ where someone in between is not tracked.

Reading the board

  • On the hiscores: the last lookup found the player alive.
  • Dead (date): the official hiscores keep a death record for a dead Hardcore character, with the date and the world; the board shows the date Jagex gives.
  • Not on the hiscores: the lookup answered that the name is not on the Hardcore Worlds hiscores (not ranked yet, renamed, or no longer a Hardcore Worlds character). The hiscores do not say which, so the board does not claim a death.

The racers operators add, plus the top 25 of the official overall table whenever that table answers this server. The roster is capped (50 players by default) so the sampler’s work stays small. Missing someone? Send their name.
