like the idea of free trade.
the wilderness should remain the same. otherwise doing the clue scrolls will impossible. if u want to do wilderness just go to a pvp world.
i think its as simple as that. accept free trade, keep wild like it is. :)

First off, PVP worlds suck nobody that PKs likes them. You have to sit and wait two hours just to get a chance of getting a descent drop.
Wildy clue scrolls were possible when the old wild was around, I don't see why bringing the wild back would change that.

people who didnt play and pk in old days should not even talk on this forum you say old wild and new pvp are 'basicly the same' it is nothing like old times you wait 2 hours for a max of 12 kills maybe? then you down things like full bandos d claws and get 100k loots those people that just want free trade back are people who just want free money and will end up RWT which is only reason you want.

I was still a noob when the wilderness got taken away so I never knew what it was like to do the cluescrolls but I remember my countless ventures into the wilderness, escpecially when my friend led the way because he had no sesnse of direction in runescape.(the first tiume he took me to castle wars, he got lost and we ended up at the lighthouse), the old wildy was very exciting, dodging higher lvls, joining up with fellow adventurers, and playing on the obelisk.
I always hhad a good time in old wildy even if it wasn't for the intended uses of it, the excitement was just raised by the fact that you never knew if other players werre friendly or not.

The argument that high level players should be able to defend themselves in invalid. The higher your level is, the higher the level of those trying to kill you. Since pkers are often pures, at high levels they hit much higher than a player of their level normally would. At high levels the difference between pures and non-pures is more pronounced. High level players would actually be at greater risk in the wilderness for this reason.
Also, since many posters have stated wildy on most worlds would be pretty much empty anyway, wouldn't it make the challenge GREATER if those empty worlds were pker-free and had revenants instead? Of course a balance would have to be made such that the pkers have enough worlds so they aren't crowded.
Don't ignore the 8%, give us pker-free worlds. Maybe 8% of worlds could be pker free? :P That would be about 13 worlds with no pkers, with the other 156 open to pking. I really don't think the pkers would feel crowded then. Just the opposite, the non-pkers would feel crowded and would have an *incentive to take that additional risk* by going on one of the pker worlds. This mostly applies to green dragons, runite mining, and the chaos elemental. I suggest more wilderness-located game content that has the potential to be crowded, to increase this incentive. In addition, it would also make sense to increase the number of revenants on these worlds greatly, perhaps by a factor of 10 (or more), since they would be crowded.
Also, for those of you who didn't know, the vote has moved on to phase 2 (referendum), which includes the option to vote "no" or "don't mind" as well as "yes." You can vote in the referendum regardless of whether you voted yes in phase 1, as phase 1 was just to see if the referendum was necessary.
A vote for "no" is a vote for pker-free worlds!

Its rare i find myself feeling compelled to comment on such aspects but in this instance i feel i must. I have to admit i absolutely dreaded the wilderness but this was all part of the `fun` aspect for me. Outwitting the pkers and generally just staying alive to reach the rune rocks, kbd or agility course was great fun and i mean that. I can remember my heart pumping the second i crossed that line between `safe` and `your on your own now!`. It became like a drug and like everything you learned how to survive. I have NEVER pked (purely because i was wayyyy to busy with skills) but OMG did it make the heart pump. I say BRING BACK THE `TRUE` WILDERNESS, yes..warts and all. In the words of John Farnham, you`re the voice try and understand it. Make a noise and make it clear. P.s im gonna be singing that song all day in my head now........
We`re NOT gonna sit in silence!
OMG, ok back to normality - now *where`s my whip?
