I personally don’t care whether there’s a wilderness/free trade or not. I am however concerned about the previous reasons for removing them in the first place.
Many will remember the reasons for removing the wilderness and free trade in the first place:
1.Combat rwt
2.Combat bots
3.Combat credit card fraud
Are you confident that your new detection softwares will be up to the task, since we’re bound to have a huge influx of above three categories?
Will Jagex as a company be able to survive it?
I’d really hate for Jagex to shoot themselves in the toe, and suddenly find themselves and the players abandoning RuneScape.
I am merely concerned, and would very much like some reassurance that we’ll be able to survive this ordeal. The joy of returning after a six-year hiatus; I'm a noob again! :D

Will the chaos tunnels stay in the wilderness?
As they would be camped at by pkers making them significantly harder to use, and also because your extreme/overloads would wear off as soon as you wanted to do a bank trip, which can currently be done without having to re-pot.

Hey, here's some dying questions from yours truely.
1. While MMH has mentioned he'll ask for a list of untradeables that vanish/drop as coin/drop equavalent, could you please try to also make it happen as it'll definitely help a lot to know which items will become what.
2. You did mention in the referendum that post-07 content were to be moved. Apparently in your FAQ, this wasn't the case. Why so? You'd just be making life harder for players who need to give in to the pking community, despite you mentioning these areas are non-pk, you're still causing some form of inconvinence.
3. I feel that statuettes should be removed entirely from the game, since they're just cash in disguise. Why did you add them to revenant drops? Their drops are already seemingly good enough with brawlers & pvp equipment.
4. Can you still reconsider introducing safe-non wilderness worlds? Some players just wish to get on with the game without a pker disturbing their lives. Please don't tell me pking is everything...
5. Regarding brawlers, will they just be usable in wild or x0.5 elsewhere? I hope it is x0.5 elsewhere since some brawlers are more effective outside wild (prayer with gilded altar/ thieving with plunder)
6. Make extremes available in high risk world? ITS HIGH RISK AFTERALL! :)

Jagex,
I am Firebat827, veteran of nine years of play, and I voiced strongly against Free Trade and Wilderness. Needless to say, I am upset with the return, but as the veteran I am, I will endure the storm as we step out of the eye. Several questions remain however.

1. Assuming RWT goes rampant as it did in days past, will you remove free trade / wilderness again; do you have a panic button just in case?
2. Could you integrate a "Fair/Free trade" button for people wishing to further protect against scamming?
3. Statuettes were undoubtedly the worst move in the game's history for its economy, as the raw coin introduction has caused hyperinflation. Why do you plan on allowing these to still exist? Surely existing statuettes can be made untradable or instantly turned to coins?
4. How will brawlers actually work, with no PvP worlds?
5. Why are you moving revenants so quickly and nerfing their abilities? I thought the wilderness was supposed to be dangerous!
6. I'm mixed about safe quest areas but I wonder, will these areas always be safe, or are they safe for questers only during the quest?
7. Will items lost from the Corp Beast be revealed immediately now, or will players still have the 1-2 minutes to retrieve their stuff?
8. How exactly will coinshare work? In the current system, It splits up the minimum price in coin to everyone in the party. When the minimum is removed though, won't those players get 1 coin for the trouble of their rare?
9. Will shooting stars and penguins in the wilderness at least yield extra reward? Given the organization of D&D Clan chats, hunting for the players doing them is painstakingly simple to the point it detracts from the spirit of the game, and is a real kick in the teeth to paying skillers.
10. Why are extremes still banned, seriously? If D&D's were a kick in the teeth to paying skillers, this is an aluminum bat. Again, I thought the wilderness was supposed to be dangerous. Quick speculation follows...

Hello,
First of all, a lot of things are being displaced with the Old Wilderness haunting us again.
Will this be the case for any monsters too, in particular Green Dragons ?
Secondly, about treasure trails, can you elaborate on how this exactly will work? There will just be less Wilderness clues ?... Because there seem to be a lot of wilderness clues. And will this also apply for elite clues ?
And lastly, when can we vote to bring back the (less)old wilderness back when the (older)old wilderness is back ? :p
( A pox on the Old Wilderness! )

Hello Jagex, wanted to question few things regarding this update.
1)Is it possible that there will be ''no summoning'' pking words, where the single pkers can pk without BoBs?
2)Will it be possible to attack a summoning familiar in a single area?
3)Will dungeoning items dissapear upon losing them in a fight?
4)something in wilderness there is no delay until others see it?
Thanks!

Why are you making the revenants drop artifacts? PvP armour/weapons is good, but not artifacts. The artifacts were there in BH and PvP worlds to help PKers obtain good drops PKing. Now that the old wilderness is coming back there is no need for them. In BH, you would not receive EVERY single item a person had, so the items we would not receive were gone forever. Inflation was not happening to a great extent because the numbers of items were decreasing and the amount of GP was increasing, therefore cancelling it out. Now that old wilderness will be back and we get EVERY item they have, the number of items will be the same, and the amount of GP will be increasing. Therefore, inflation will occur.
Although it is a PvP area, if it is multi then a big group of people will be hogging the dungeon. This could happen easily with a clan of 10+ maxed out accounts, and the revenants will not even be a challenge for them to kill as they will pile it. Easy kills and easy drops, and since the team is so powerful nobody will be able to kill them and take over the dungeon. Statuettes and PvP armour/weapons will be easily obtainable for them and inflation will occur.
If you choose to keep the artifacts being dropped by revenants, then the revenants better be at least 5x harder to kill and a lot smarter.

EDIT:
Another question: Will you guys please have the normal spellbook's left-click option be on cast and not autocast. Once PKing comes out there are going to be MANY complaints from old players returning to the game on F2P and some P2P players when they try to hybrid using the normal spellbook. You guys changed it for ancients.. why not for normal spellbook too? It is extremely annoying for me as well when I PK on my pures.

G'day
- Will staking/duelling be available in f2p?
- If i die at the corporeal beast will players be able to loot my items lost on death right after i die
- As an idea to help encourage people to bless graves, when blessing a grave instead of prayer points being drained prayer points should be gained
- Instead of items appearing instantly after dropping in the wildy they should appear after a minute (or whatever it used to be)
- Could statuettes be completly removed from the game? I don't think they were very good for the economy
Cheers
