one thing osrs is missing for me is a user friendly easy way of transferring items by means of trade or just giving someone a gift w/o the hassle of teleing to some weird place to meet up. my idea is quite simple and nothing like the GE update before EOC i believe with a simple postal service with the ability to attach (an) item(s) to mail and ship it off to a friend or to send out a mass letter to clan members with news of events and such. Now with the Item trading aspect i theorize something like lending would have to be utilized except with an option to set a required fine to receive/open the letter thus re-compensating the sending and satisfying the recipient. of course there would have to be mail boxes which i believe should be put close to banks or other important places. one off-note minor idea i have with this is being able to send tings from inventory to bank direct through mail which could allow for quick banking when mining runecrafting or any other skill that requires tedious banking and retracking to fill up and inv again.

Three to Four 1000+ and 1500+ Total Level Worlds in Oldschool Runescape!

I am very sorry to say this but lately there has been an enormous resurgence of bots at the Yew Tree's, since the botting problem clearly isn't going away I feel that it is time to separate legitimate players from the bots.

If we can give 3-4 1000+ and 3-4 1500+ worlds to members this will keep bots away from legitimate players. I am asking for this because I don't mind sharing resources with other players when they respond to chat. Honestly I miss the community that used to exist while woodcutting, which simply does not exist when most of the "players" are bots. Woodcutting, and other skills are NO fun when resources are scarce, and "players" don't respond to public chat because they are bots.

Ultimately, I would rather cut Yews with 6 legitimate players than with 10 bots, any player who has been playing since launch should have over 1000+ total, I quit for 6 months and have nearly 1500+ myself and I am by no means "hardcore".

Edit: Also please keep in mind that this will actually solve one other problem that OSRS is suffering. Most worlds have only around 230 players which many will argue is not a large enough community. If we make 2-3 total level worlds we will create a larger community of 1000-1200 legitimate players on each of these worlds which will create a sense of community among OSRS's most loyal player base.

Hey, I think one thing that'll spice things up is a cool ability only for people with high Agility and/or Hitpoint levels... Sprinting! I figured Sprinting would go under Agility because it has a relationship with running; a high Agility level makes your running energy last longer.

Sprinting gives you a burst of previously unseen speed. You will move faster than the current running ability allows. However, Sprinting in real life can really drain your stamina, so you should apply that to Runescape as well. Also for such a useful ability you must make it a bit of a double-edged sword. Sprinting will quickly decimate one's running energy, but it CAN be used after running energy is depleted. This determination to move is called Adrenaline Rush. Adrenaline Rush has serious consequences, as it will then eat away at one's Hitpoints AND Agility level. Adrenaline Rush will not kill you directly; it will stop after say, 5 or so Hitpoints, or when your Agility level reaches 0, so no suicide runs in Runescape. This may restrict you from using Agility obstacles, which would be terrible in the Wilderness Agility Course when trying to make a getaway from Pkers. (I'm not entirely sure if that's how Agility works)

It can be very useful though for a quick getaway when faced with danger, when simply getting from point A to point B faster during quests when teleportation isn't enough (such as the Ape Atoll tunnel), pursuing one's prey, carrying items over long distances (longer than you're willing to walk) or retrieving one's gear after recently dying.

This ability can have a counter too. The abyssal whip's special attack could temporarily disable sprinting (it would disable sprinting for longer than it disables running), making it even more of a weapon of choice than it already is. (There's more) I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the
Player-Owned House Dungeon.
My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.
