Hi Userx, there are a number of items that we’re still looking at as there a few options depending on what the item is and its attributes I don’t think you’ll be disappointed though. L; )
Rexibito, thanks for the feedback =) the short answer to that pretty long question is that we really wanted to keep the interface as close to as is as possible. We will be monitoring the GE and with such a big change, the affects of free trade very closely. ; )
Cookie or Og, in the interests of fairness, I’ll answer a few of yours and then move on if that’s cool? ; )
1- So youve said you can pay whatever you want for items on ge, but will the Min and Max price buttons be removed? Or will they stay so people can get an idea of a good price to pay?
The buttons won’t be moved and will give you 5% increase or decrease on the guide price.

2- I know you are putting the revenants in a dungeon specifically for them, Will this dungeon be in the wilderness?
It sure will!
3- Will The Wilderness Volcano Crater (Where hellounds etc are) Become a safe zone? Or is it dangerous?
Nope, it’ll still be dangerous
4- Any info on how Spirit of Summer/Summers end will work? Will the quest areas just become safe places?
Quest areas will be safe areas in as much as you won’t get PKd while you’re in the middle of your quest.
Hi Rexibito, thanks for the feedback =) the short answer to that pretty long question is that we really wanted to keep the interface as close to as is as possible. We will be monitoring the GE and with such a big change, the affects of free trade very closely. ; )
BOWMAN4:
“1.Was there really any thought that the vote would not pass? Why not just make it a surprise “happy new year” thing?”
We’ve heard a lot of players request the wilderness’s return but we had to be sure that those requests weren't those of the vocal minority.
“2.Aren’t you concerned with a resurgence of RWT? Because free trade makes transferring money a heck of a lot easier…”
We know that of course there will be those out to abuse free trade but we’re very on the case with that thanks to some very helpful tools and staff
“3.How long has this plan been in the works? I mean it obviously did*’t come around the day the original poll opened"
We’ve always wanted to bring it back and the changes so the quick answer is probably “since the the day it went away”
Ailen:
“Why not get rid ov reverands completley? they get on my nerves
Just don’t go to the dungeon where they’ll be living. ; )
“are you absolutley sure about bringing free trade back?”
We’re going into this with our eyes open completely so yep, we’re sure. =)
“if free trade gets out of hand will it be removed again?”
Don’t worry, we’ve taken steps to minimise the chances of that happening
“a little rant... you didnt bring back the wilderness just to sell off some hats and tshirts did you?”
Lol, I think 1.2 million votes for it to come back is more likely. ; )
Killerdudee asks what’s changed to mean we can bring back wildy. Well, we did loads of work over the last couple of years to address the reasons why we had to remove the wildy. Without going into masses of detail (*sees there’s 21 pages of questions already!*) we’ve sorted a lot of that out which made its return possible. There’ll be a more detailed answer on that soon. ; )

Doom Mage13 asked:
First of all thanks for answering our questions on a Saturday.
Mod Fetzki answers:
Pleasure - the only problem is that it eats into my RuneScape time :(
Both your answers I have answered above but again, rest assured that we have taken the comments about the statuettes on board but please rest assured that we are monitoring the effect of the statuettes very closely and will react if they pose a problem for the prices.

Moe Is 4210 asks:
How will you be able to differentiate from someone giving a gift to their friends as opposed to someone completing a real world trade transaction?
We have a specialist team of people who deal with cheating all day long, they have excellent tools at their disposal and can tell very easily the difference between people who are RWT and those who are just trading to friends.
Genuine players who wish to give things away have nothing to be worried about!

A couple more from Facebook and Twitter:
If someone has a degraded vesta long and they die, do we get the item as a drop? Or is PvP armour not going to degrade anymore?
This is one of the items that is currently under discussion in the Content team.
Will high level potions like super antifire and special restore pots ever become tradeable?
Probably not, but you never know.

Many of you are asking about the original poll. It was really just to see if there would be a big interest in the wilderness and free trade. As soon as we realised there definitely was, we did a proper referendum.
Thanks for your posts about duelling and gravestones, many good and interesting ideas there.
When we change the wilderness, everyone will be moved out of the wilderness to ensure safety.

Chaos tunnels will still lead from the wilderness, but they are not PvP active.
Brawlers will still exist in the game, with the greater bonus coming if you use them in the wilderness.

Sp3ak n0w asks:
Will old drop parties be coming back? An old drop party would consist of dropping items of any value anywhere on the game and a minute later they would become visible to any player. I sure do miss these.
Yep, drop parties will be unlimited – and we’re also going to have a word with the bankers and others who have a habit of yelling out when a party is happening – we know that can be a bit annoying!

Were reading lots of feedback about armoured zombies, that's something still under discussion right now so we will happily read your thoughts on this.

Zaryte Bow asked:
On Mod Mark cc he stated "The old pjing system of 2006 is comming back"
What does that means? You will be able to interrupt people at any time of an fight? Because that'd be really not fair these days where we have Dragon Claws, Korasi swords, and a lot of other "1-Hitting" weapons. The current PJing system works quite good (10 secs out of fight to be able to interrupt, magers cant be attacked while farcasting), and i hope you're not removing it.
Mod Fetzki answers:
No, it won't go that far. We have improved the combat system so that when you eat, noone can "steal" your target, and we are keeping the system as it stands right now.
Zaryte Bow asked:
Some time ago (i think it was on the constitution update), there was a change on the vengeance spell, i dont even think jagex knows about this, but back in the old wildy if you killed someone who was venged, the spell wouldnt hit. Now if you kill that person the vengeance spell WILL hit, meaning that a lot of "double kills" (Both fighters die at the same time) happens, especially with people using Dharok's, as you need an low hp to get good hits. Could you fix this? It wasnt there on the old wildy so i think its fair if you could fix it.
Mod Fetzki:
This works now as intended. Being on low health is a risk.

Norseman119 asked:
In short, when the minigames are moved will the boneyard return to where it was? Or will the clan wars arena area stay there for now?
Mod Fetzki:
We boneyard is coming back! It is one of the best places for free players to train Prayer so we have decided to put this back.
