This is the best choice Jagex has ever decided on! I hope those votes keep swarming in! I also hope Jagex throws in the switch back as soon as possible. I personally know many people who will renew their memberships if this switch occurs. This will bring Runescape so much more business and along with all the updates since the switch from non-free trade Runescape will be bigger and better than ever!! Vote Yes! Thanks.

Well...its looking like the yes vote will win. Can understand why pkers arent happy with current situation. If someone kills another player who knows what they are risking yet chooses to go to the wildy anyway...and if i killed them?....Id want to be able to pick up all their items as a drop too without having to wait around for some time limit. One on one is fair. Things change when it comes to multicombat zones.
But not everyone wants to play the game that way. Games are supposed to be fun. Not against pkers having their fun but not at the expense of others. Its not all about you you you.
So......unless Jagex restricts pk activities to certain worlds.... guess an inconvenient option would be for players to make a "clue scroll" world....(sorry but i havent read anything from Jagex to suggest clue scroll co ordinates would be changed etc....lots saying activities would be moved blah blah so plz point me to that post so i can reassess my opinion)....much the same as other interest group worlds. Clue hunters would go in with "bodyguards"...
Or....and heres a thought outside of the box....include it as part of the slayer skill.....an alternative to a slayer task if you will.... Slayer task = bodyguard duty and xp given based on the number of pkers you kill/defend against. Id volunteer. Sick of the doing the same tasks over and over anyway.
Task would probably best be done with either high agility or use of super energy pots to keep up the chase as they ran away.
Btw...... i have a lot of friends who enjoy pking....

Queen, how is it that people managed to do clue scrolls for the first 6 or 7 years of runescape without complaining that it was unfair to die in the wilderness. Yet now every body is dreading the thought, but really will every single world be full of pkers?
And if you really don't want to risk it, then don't do it. Simple. Like I said before, Wilderness has it's name for a reason. Because it is dangerous.

This would be my first time posting in the forums for anything. Personally, I don't care if the old wild comes back or not, I hardly ever go there to begin with. I leave it to everyone else to vote on that.
I like to use the GE for my trades and I think that is a good system to keep around for the simple purpose that I don't have to wait around for anyone who is selling what I need. I think that some of the prices in the GE have spiked compared to what they used to be a few years ago, so I can see where bringing back free trade would make a slight difference.
So my input for suggestions to adjust to bringing back old lines of coding:
Fix for Wild: Add a button to toggle between a combatant and non-combatant that can only be activated before entering the wild. This way people who are doing clue scrolls, bone collecting, or whatever it is they do, cannot pk, or be pked. But somehow leave killing things like dragons a possibility.
Fix for Free Trade: Didn't really read up to see if the GE was going to be removed due to free trade, but I think it should continue to be here and have the average price from free trade as the GE prices. Perhaps maybe a gift button on the trade menu that doesn't effect trade prices to counter the effect that would be caused by those who are liking the idea of giving free gifts to friends.

THESE ARE QUOTES FROM EARLIER POSTS :

1/"Seriously, NO to old wilderness (if it was possible, I'd love to be deleted from the list of people wanting old wildy back)"
2/"I accidentally voted for bringing back the wilderness. I thought the "Vote" button was going to take me to the page to vote. I didn't read the page well enough. Oops. "

3/"sorry to be a pain , im pretty much against pkers and wildy as i feel its gonna invite the rwt back into the game , and clicked to vote thinking i would see a yes or no option and it automatically put me as a yes so please take my name off the vote ty, sorry to be a pain , but more than happy with things the way they are soz guys "

4/"I wasn't able to vote no ! I went to the site, said vote now, and it said "thank you"."
5/"Can I at least cancel my vote ? I don't want this to happen. "
6/"Man, I clicked on "vote now" before I realized what was going to happen... :| "
7/"Can I at least cancel my vote though ? When I said vote, I thought it'd give me the option "yes" or "no". I was deceived :( "

I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO HOLD A VOTE BY EMAIL NOT JUST A PUSH BUTTON VOTE. PEOPLE NEED TO BE SURE AND TO HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I VOTED YES BECAUSE I LIKED THE BIG WILDY BUT **THERE IS NO TURNING BACK TIME. **
I DON'T THINK FREE TRADE WILL BE ANYTHING LIKE THE INNOCENT FREE TRADE OF THE PAST.
THE OLD PLAYERS WHOSE HEARTS WERE BROKEN HAVE LONG GONE.

THE ECONOMY IS RUN BY MERCANTILE CLANS WHO WILL STILL HAVE THEIR WEALTH WHEN THE FREE TRADE COMES BACK.

pking is an game activity that is enjoyed the most through the game. hundreds of thousands of people play runescape just to pk. Pkers Pk at a Pker's expense, not nearly as much at the expense of non pkers.
A clue scroll world is unneccesary. People use to do clue scrolls back when the wilderness was dangerous. you walk in with your cheap gear, do your clue scroll and leave. Pkers dont always attack people doing clue scrolls and changes are, you will walk right past people who cant even attack you.
That whole slayer idea doesnt seem to make much sence. pking was the best how it was before. Mostly everyone enjoyed it.

o Fez I did read it and I did think about it and the decision I made was at the time that I wanted the wildy back. I realise that free trade was taken away for the same reason as the wildy but bringing back free trade along with the wildy is not going to make things like they were before because of the changes made to the economy by the merch clans. I think that this is something people aren't considering and I admit I didn't when I voted. I thought only of the way my teenage son wept when his world was shattered without warning.
