~~ This is all real from Mod Mark's CC himself. He *may* write up a FAQ later on. ~~
He answers questions regarding lootshare, movement of content from wilderness, runecrafting, the GE, corrupt weaponry and a few more. Do note he cannot answer specifics at this time.
There is also good constructive feedback on this thread, do read.
"Ok so firstly, this isn't something we've done before
A vote on this kind of scale, I mean
so there are always teething problems
but obviously there is a lot of interest in the subject
so thanks to those who have voted already
to those worried about others using your names - don't worry
we aren't looking at names
Jagex is very confident we can deal with goldfarmers and rwt
and botting etc
we have several new iniatives to deal with those issues
and believe we can control it
We have not given up the fight - far from it
You have to trust us on that
Literally some anti bot tech just came through like within the last month
Which means as soon as we realised we could bring it back
we ran the voting thing
So basically it's happening now because we think we can do it safely
There are of course checks on the poll, dont worry about fake
We will try to keep it as close to 2006 wildy as possible
I cant go into detail on every single wildy change
But basically things like quests and minigames will be relocated
to elsewhere in the game
there will be no wildy free worlds <- He means worlds without wildy in them.
but things like clue scrolls or abyss, etc may be altered
to accommodate for the greater risk - honestly not sure yet
corrupt* items will be deleted or made more rare
They will be made available through other means
Revs were designed as a replacement for the threat of the pker
if the pkers are back the revs are gone
but they will likely feature elsewhere"
* Originally had said chaotic - but confirmed to be a typo by mod mark himself so I have changed it.
~~~ CONTINUED ON NEXT POST ~~

"Staking I am very excited about
As that would return with no restrictions
So if you wanted to stake a phat you could
against a candle or whatever
BH and pvp worlds will go for now
sorry****
Argh!!
Bounty hunter and pvp worlds will go for now
Poll and vote are not fake
Althrough there is a fake post mod osborne
on some of the fansites - it is fake
Mod Osborne is most upset
The ge mixed with the economy - I have no idea
Sorry ranks confused chaotic with corrupt
I mean the pvp gear
RS guiness world records - honestly that was a bug
Its the numbers im concerned about not the names
I dont plan on rolling back the graphics no
just the gameplay
issues like extreme pots and new weapons
will be considered carefully - is all I can say
Many of these things were thinking about ourselves right now
were just waiting to see what the vote does first
no gravestones in the wildy no
but will change what's in the wilderness
so please dont assume we're killing treasure trails
More questions
I think im up to date with the ones pmed
Please, to my listeners, listen to the ranks when im gone
summoning - not sure yet
many questions about fire capes
though I don't see why you'd risk it in the wildy
unless you were a bit maaaaaaaad
Black marks??? This has nothing to do with black marks
gravestones I cant answer questions on
its something we are still considering
I personally would like to see gravestones remain in the ma
i dont like people benefiting from an npc kill
or luring people, etc
Ep system gone
Pile jumping will work as it did in 06
Spawn to the killer first, than others
untradeables, complicated
they don't work as great right now, maybe a better system
Should be written to deal with untradeables
but honestly thats something else we're thinking about now
More?
As I say, right now we're gauging your feedback
we dont have answers to all questions
since we're not sure if its going to happen yet
but we know we can do it safely"

"Things like brawler gloves - yes, again too specific right now
No release dates announced for this as always
Look out for more annoucements - but not here
no comment about speed or order of updates
Ranks - questions on specific items or abilities
should not be answered at this time.
ranks - stop asking me about release strategy
we do not discuss that here, you know that
CC capacity is restricted
Please pass this info on - it's 100% true on the time of writing
dont just forward question please ranks - consider them first
Lootshare + Wildy, now there is something I havne't considered
but I dont see how it would work in conjuction
but I will think carefully about that one, good point
Many people will find content moved about
as we reshape the environment
relocated, not deleted
Other content is being considered on a case-by-case basis
Case-by-case basis means that each thing is considered carefully
and that we wont have to have a rule that covers it all
"what about x,y, or z"
I will not answer specifics at this time as we have not fully decided
Were waiting to see your interests first
No plans for a forum faq yet
Consider this answers to all your questions
as close to 06 as possible
+ keeping all the new cool stuff in one way or another
Specifics are being considered as we speak
thats the answers to all the questions
Anyway peeps - thanks for listening!
finally a personal note - i am totally nuetral here
my concern is we don't bring back the issues we previously had
and I am convinced that we have the tech to deal with those
100% sure
w00ters out"

The vote has slowed down though. 1.4M almost... They said the majority of players had to agree and there are millions of accounts created... I don't think it's enough, even with all the cheated votes. I want the wildy and free trade back, but I want it done fairly. I think the vote should be reset to be honest.

I,myself disagree.The free trade and old wilderness was not well made or complex by its time.
I remember how it was in free trade,lots of bots doing woodcutting,fishing and mining and then,after a while,the owner of the bot would have gotten all the money he did by just not being hard worker.
And by old wilderness,lots of people killing people,for example the clue scroll do ers people would spawn and the pker's would kill them and get the loot.Also by this part of the game the old wilderness would be a great havoc by now as *hat of all new weapons,armours,prayers,potions,magic spells and familiars.
Oh,and something I got in consideration,what about the wilderness quests,wouldn't the get much difficult?
So I,myself,consider this 2 old systems will kinda ruin a part of runescape.

I have one more concern.... What about the "dead" players? How can inactive players vote? 'Cause if you are looking at X amount of registered characters - X amount of votes = Majority are you excluding players that aren't playing anymore? Many players have quit and alot won't return any time soon.
There's also the extra accounts; many people have multiple accounts for one reason or another. I for one have made extra accounts in the past due to losing my ******** and there are many other reasons people make "new" accounts. So, I'd sure hope that there is something in place to not count innactive accounts as a boycott of the vote.

I think you should bring back old wilderness but not free trade limit because free trade limit could encourage hacking ALOT. And also being scammed which i just hate. but having wilderness is a different story because it would encourage less hacking and scamming than it would with having free trade because its easier to scam with free trade making old wilderness acceptable :)
So yes for old wilderness
and no for free trade limit PLEASE
thank you :)
Edit: if you are going to bring back old wilderness have it in a old wilderness worlds instead so people can choose which wilderness they like.

There may be millions of accounts but I guarantee there's only about 2-3million active accounts. Most likely less. If you see the amount of people playing during peak times on weekends, it only gets up to about 200k-250k. We'll say those are people who play regularly. Let's put in another 500k of people that play once a week. And then 250k that play once a month... I think that about sums up the active accounts...
