It’s been a couple of years since a walk animation was added to the game barring re-releases, and well I’d like to see some new ones. :)

Whether that’s continuing the trend of emotional states ‘happy’, ‘sad’, ‘angry’,
Anxious/Nervous, Envious, etc.

A tribute to something like a horseless gallop a’la MontyPython.
Or something new entirely like a juggler walk, or Vampiric walk.

The point is new walks! Please & thankyou. Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

The horseless (hornless unicornless?) gallop feels like a shoo-in; RuneScape has certainly drawn inspiration from Monty Python before and will most likely do so again. A direct homage certainly wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

An anxious walk sounds interesting, too. Scanning your surroundings out of paranoia when idle, taking tender footsteps to try to avoid drawing unwanted attention to yourself when walking, being in a full panic when running... would certainly be expressive, and could be good for a laugh when in a dangerous place. I'm not sure what an envious walk would look like, though.

Juggling might be a little too distracting; I know a lot of people have been critical about certain walk animations like Hot Sand because of how much people flail about. That one might be better as a rest animation (I know Contact Juggling already exists, but actual Juggling would still find its audience, I'm sure). As for Vampyric... that's another one that I'm not sure what that would look like. Could you give us more details?

For the envious walk I was thinking almost like a direct opposite to the loved up walk, maybe some broken hearts, green particles and a general expression / body language of someone unable to garner the love they desire whilst being jealous of the person who has.

For Vampiric they could take it a couple of different ways either serious all macabre and floating menacingly. Or comedic like an actor really hamming up a performance, if you’ve seen ‘impractical jokers’ think Joes Dracula impression but dialled up to 11. Check out Thieves guild layout redesign.
