This is a very straight forward proposal, But I think it would dramatically change your game.
First, the idea : World Chat -- Optional
This is self explanatory, but there is a lot behind it.
You might think "That's not oldschool", however, the creators of runescape probably just overlooked something like this and never really gave it any thought.
Clan chat is a beautiful thing, but If you implemented an optional World Chat, it would take players returning and / or giving OSRS a real chance a sense of community.
Discussions among players in the open world would remain the same, and world chat would be a separate tab.
This will bring Players doing unpopular skilling methods a way to be congratulated on their recent skill level up's; and a place for people to chat about abstract topics or get help / advice from others no matter where you are.
Many many player's don't know about clans, and they don't know how to find them on forums, and they are still people and players that would be able to contribute conversation and shouldn't be excluded from that, based on their ignorance.
If this concept was denied by the mods in OSRS, it needs to be revisited.
Please consider this, it won't bring new players to the game, it will Keep the lonely ones around forever!!!
