First. I am NOT a pker. I have never successfully pked ANYONE in my life. I've tried a few times, but I failed miserably.
As I recall, my first experience with the wilderness came back in Runescape classic. I ventured north of Varrock in my full black armor, carrying a steel sword. I had no idea that such a thing as "runite metal" existed. And to my utter astonishment and horror, as I walked across the wilderness border into level 1 Wilderness, someone ran up and hit DOUBLE DIGITS on me. I had never heard of such a thing. I died promptly, as you could not run in the first 3 rounds of combat back then.
Things never looked up for me. I made a few "pure accounts" and attempted to pk a few times on my "main". I was terrible on all of them.
But you know what? Runescape lost something the day they changed the wilderness. It lost the danger and the mystery. Even as a non-pker, nothing brought me a greater thrill than venturing to Black Knight's fortress in level 17 Wilderness to kill Dark Warriors for their black med helmet drops. (Yes, I was quite a noob. But I had fun!) All the while avoiding people trying to kill me. It was a blast! It got my heart racing.
So even for all those people who say "I never pk, it doesn't matter to me" think again. The atmosphere of the entire game took a turn for the worse the day that update was made.
Lastly, I want Jagex understand just how much respect I have for them for putting such a monumental decision in the hands of the players. Regardless of whether the vote turns out in my favor.

@roadkill we dont need another runescape classic, also whats the point of doing thaT? make a new server so pkers can pk, and not sell what they pk because no1 would be there to buy it? Not buy sups cuz no1 is gunna make it, and just let the 76k'ers continue to do so,,,,hmmmm bad idea IMHO

I was just using it as an example as one of the activities that restoring the old WIldy would make more dangerous. I personally do dont drags, but stuff requiring u to go into wildy like clues and SUmmer' End would generally be harder due to the threat of pkers. Pkers are much smarter than revs

Here are my questions. I just hope I'll be notified somehow and not have to check the forums every 15 minutes to find their reply, IF they reply..*****;****;
-
Would it be possible to bring back only one, and not the other? Or do they come hand-in-hand, and if you want one, then you have to put up with the other as well?
-
If they bring back free trade, will they keep the Grand Exchange around? Because I find actual trade a lot easier using the G.E., but I also would like to help out my friends who are just starting RuneScape. You know, such as giving them armor, etc., and the trade limit, to me, has been nothing but a pain in the neck. I must make it clear that I fully understand why they put it there, and I think it was a good idea. I'm only saying what my personal experience with the limit has been: hinderance.
-
If they bring back the old wilderness, will they keep such games as Bounty Hunter, Clan Wars, and Guthix Wars (I can't recall if that's the correct name for that one, but I hope you know what I'm talking about)? I know several people that thoroughly enjoy these games, and if I had the skill and patience to hone my abilities with them (which I someday may very well gain), I believe I would enjoy them, too.
So there are my questions. Will I find answers?
We'll see. O_o

lol why does it matter if there is no "no" option.. its not like its going to get over ruled by the people that want it back.... lets get real.
ps. I have noticed that mostly the mods/admins etc are against this. There are few regular players but not many.

@pieboy
yeah this is why it would be nice if they kept the bounty worlds / pvp worlds that there currently is, maybe add a few more in or just make a select few worlds that are SAFE for people to do quests in and such, the main thing any pker will want from this the loot that they deserve.

@eden of life

+1 to you <3

@Sister Hide
I told you how long I've played to prove to you that what I said was true. And about Pking... You PK. I don't. Leave it at that, okay? I didn't come to this thread to make anymore enemies...
I'm not going to respond to any more posts concerning my beliefs or stuff like that.
I will only respond to posts concerning my idea(I think it's great, and should be implemented...).
