Idea one:
addition to Mining and smithing.
add meteorite to various mining locations, with 1 meteorite you can smelt it into a black bar (w/35 smithing) and create black armor.
make gold armor & new gilded weapons available with smithing gold bars. (would require 85 smithing to create gold armor and weapons. but have the same stats as rune)
and make new bluerite weapons and armor with 8 smithing.
with Black, Adamant, & Rune armor if you smelt their bars with a gold bar obtain you would create (or a rare chance from a treasure trail to obtain) a [type] bar (g) and be able to make (G) weapons and armor. with high level crafting (100+ so it requires the cape worn) you could trim [type] armor and weapons.

Idea dos:
LOCK DOWN SERVER(S): these servers are a simple concept, every voted for update since the launch of Old School just over 8 months ago, would be disabled. this means that every nonvoted for update such as bug/glitch fixes and forced updates like the friends list increase would still be in effect, it also means that on these servers any new item that came out in the last 8 months would be the same as having members items on free to play worlds. they would become ''voted for object'' would have no stats, could not be (re)equipped, sold to stores or traded to players. this also means that the new minigames and dungeons would not be accessible, but visible on those servers.
this would also make most poll options (with in reason) more likely to pass because those updates would not effect the people that want Old School to remain update free. you could freely go from a lockdown server (lets say w321 becomes the LDS) to world 345. your stats wouldn't be reset as they are still on the Old School server selection. so yes the markets would be the same...though there would be a small chance that those players develop their own market.
