pid
What does pid mean?
Player Identification Number. In RuneScape the engine gives every player a PID, and the lower one's actions process first. In PvP that means whoever has PID can land the first hit, eat first, or pray-switch first.
"I had pid that whole fight so my spec always landed before his."
Origin
Short for Player Identification Number in RuneScape; the game engine assigns each player a PID that sets action priority.
Frequently asked questions
Why does pid matter in PvP?
Because the player with priority acts first each tick — first to hit, first to pray-switch, first to eat. In close fights that edge decides it.
