I am ok with this but I dislike the wilderness lodestone for the fact that people everywhere do not want to accidently click it without realizing it even I misclick it often
and I know there will be a group of people each world just camping that lodestone but if it gives a warning message u must agree to first I am fine with it or if the lodestone for wilderness takes you is like a simple safe spot that's fine to but if its not a requirement for completion cape or the trimmed version then woohoo. :)
i think it will give a warning that can be toggled off but the point is still the same, 2 or 3 people with ice burst/barrage can easily kill anyone coming on or off the loadstone if no safe spot is implemented, basically setting up a big death trap for any player hoping to activate the loadstone or coming off it for say temple at Sennistine/ cursed mage trees or any wilderness related item

I dont think people will be camping lodestones, how many people camp that ardougne/edgeville lever teleport in deep wildy? No one, excpet during peng hunting. And even if people would be camping that lodestone, maybe it will put some life to EOC pking ;)

Let's not forget guys; the Lunar Isle and Bandit Camp teleports require quests to complete. I'm sure most of these will too. Yeah, the lore doesn't QUITE match up, but perhaps it's linked to the 6th Age? I'm just a man; I'm not a hero.

Why are people like this? why are lodestones killing the game and making it easier? One of the reasons I don't play 07 is the fact that I have to spend time travelling from a place to another rather than enjoying the game itself (minigames, bosses etc).

It's like big cities. You'd rather just teleport to your destination rather than spending a long time in a car or a bus or whatever doing nothing.

Plus, it gives them the opportunity to increase the distance between cities and towns. Because in Rs3 the draw distance will be increased and the world feels a lot smaller. But they cannot increase the distance between cities as you'll have to spend an hour to get from a place to another this way?

Law runes are not useless. I still use them to go to my house, Trollheim for GWD. Fairy rings, they bring you to other planes and some places can still be reached easier with them. Same with Spirit trees. I've planted one in Port Sarim so that after using explorer's ring I can use it to go to the Ge easily.

You are complaining about dead content. Wasn't Tyrannwn dead content? What about the Fremennik province? Why? Because they were areas that couldn't be reached easily. Now they will all be more popular.

If they want to release a crystal city and other features to Tyrannwn, they should introduce a new way to go there easily, because it'll soon be dead content.

I don't get why people think that in Runescape, we have to spend a ton of time just travelling from a place to another.

I know, exploration is a nice thing. But it's not like we do not have to explore anymore, as lodestones need to be unlocked first before they can be used and some of them also need quests.

Please think twice. ~Petros, the Doctor

I like what I see so far. :) I honestly don't see what everyone else is complaining about - you have to activate the lodestones first before you can use them. Meaning for ape atoll and elven lands and the like, you still have to do the quests. I have complained about updates/Jagex actions before and probably will do so again in the future (I'm hoping not, but....well we'll see), but everyone complaining about this honestly sounds just...childish.

I am a little leery of the wilderness lodestone, gives pkers a place to camp, unless it's in the mage arena bank area - that would be good. :)

I'm interested to see what's going to be added to the other tele methods like amulet of glory and row. I use those a lot. :) My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.

CMON PPL!
The only reason that they add more lodestones becaused the want to expand the size of gielinor after the rs3 update!
It was mentioned in the around the campfire q&a...Because the increased draw distance makes more obvious the tinyness of Gielinor....dont forget the the curent map's size about 1,5-2 km2! (assuming that the player about 180 cm tall)- including oceans and everything.
So in long case we NEED this update...the everywhere teleports in the expanded worls wont be unnecesarry.

I almost feel like these lodestones are too easy. I know you have to get to them first, but once you unlock them, you have no need to purchase law runes anymore to teleport places. I remember purchasing hundreds of law runes just to teleport to the simple places. Now I just use the lodestone and it just feels too easy. Is it too much to ask for less lodestones perhaps? Then maybe more teleports with certain magic levels. I know it's odd I'm asking for less of the easy way out, but when I teleport using magic, I know I've earned it.

Well thats a nice update, how about more lodestones in:

Ape Atoll
Entrana
Somewhere near barrows or abandoned mine
Moss le harmless
Deep in the desert, like sophenamen
Neitzenot and Jatizo
Miscellania


For wildy 1, it will be better if u have a warning mesage and needs confirmation, like ardy and edgville levers, also it will be nice if u do the same warning with lava titan teleport.

I want even more lodestones tbh. An entire map full of them possibly 10,000 of them, each covering every conceivable coordinate. I don't really want to move my mouse more than I have to (wrist problems and all dat). Doing a clue scroll? Have coordinates? Well no trouble at all man, just punch in the coordinates into the lodestone network, and VOILA, you are transported to your next clue!

In fact, coming soon, you won't even have to click the mouse even, you can just talk at your computer-and it will teleport you to your destination.

Tired of leveling or even playing the game? For a limited time only you can announce "Completion cape" into your microphone, and the game will begin the process of attaining it for you. Allow 3-6 weeks for completion of this task. If you wish to have it done sooner, be on the lookout for the new Squeal of Completion (SOC), and you can finish in just half that time!

Billy Mays here, are you tired of leveling? Did your thumb just blow up from too much runecrafting? Well don't you worry, cuz for only $19.99...
