Reading dev blogs and chatting with in game clan mates I figured I would post a few ideas we came up with and to add on to Jagexs' ideas.

Castlewars: After reading about castle wars and the potential castle wars plateskirt, if you can possibly add the void and water capes (fire cape equivalent for ranged and magic) as castle wars rewards for a high amount of tickets. The amount would obviously be up to you but I think adding those 2 capes and maybe some other miscellaneous jazz would definitely help keep castlewars alive! Maybe a teleport scroll that would teleport you to a spirit tree location for easier teleporting between the gnome stronghold and village.

Kick button in POH: I don't think there should be a kick button to kick everyone out at once glancing back on the Falador Massacre. That was a crazy day in RuneScape history and I would just hate for history to repeat itself in that concept. So maybe adding a kick option to individual players rather than an all at once kick.

Incense burners in POH: I think adding a warning message when they are about to burn out would be much appreciated for our prayer fanatic players! (Me not being one so much but I do know some people in game who would like that)

Gravestones: Gravestones would be a nice implement to the game later on down the line when people are fully geared in the new GWD armour.

Resting: Resting was really handy when it came to running long distances but at this point I personally do not care if it is added or not.

XP bar: I like the idea of seeing how much XP I have accumulated over time! I would like to see that!

That's all I have so far let me know what you think of these ideas down below!

Also regarding bots: Is there someway or somehow players could have the option to attempt to fence another player in the square they are standing in if suspected to be a bot? For example: Player A suspects player B is a bot, they try to use an option to fence the other player in, when a fence is requested the bot detecting technology Jagex has is enacted to scan the suspected player, if malicious software or bot technology is detected then the player would be fenced in or teleported away to a random room, unable to teleport or logout. Pretty much rendering the bot useless until a ban is issued. If that is possible that would great!


I was thinking something like the tele other spells, you can use it on someone and if Jagexs' bot detecting software detected that the accused player was in fact botting then something should happen to render the account useless until a ban was issued. Like Making the account unable to log out or teleport away. If a player was suspect of botting and no bot technology was detected then the player would not be penalized. With that being said I'm not implying to stop the accused player in it's tracks, I think they should be stopped AFTER the software is detected. While it's running whatever it is they do to determine bots the account could still do whatever it was doing. For example: Player A suspects player B of being a bot, they send a fence notice, the accused player is still free and able to do whatever they are doing until the final verdict is decided. Bot or no bot, if they are botting, they are banned, if not nothing happens.

I would love to see an interface update (an option to allow us to pick which interface revision we can play on!)

I was hoping a 317 revision or 459 revision, or both! Just an option to pick between them (I like the current one but I prefer 317 and 459, mainly 459 however)

It would really add that extra amazing touch to this incredible game! :) Please consider it and thanks for all the hard work!

Hello, as you know the runescape 2007 player base is steadily decreasing, from a 50,000 players at the start, to a near 10,000 players now. I believe runescape 2007 will not last much longer because people will start to quit because of being bored. With only 10,000 players left on runescape, pking with clans is gone, harder to find items, most worlds only have 100 people in them, it takes the whole community part of the game out, and makes it very boring. My overall point is that runescape 2007 will not last much longer because of decreasing player base and something has to be done.

This brings me to my next topic, F2P worlds. Runescape 2007 is not gaining many new players, just thriving off the community it has.

Reasons why runescape is not gaining any new players


1. When people see a new game, they want to try it, right?


People may see an add for 2007 runescape. They go hey, lets try it out, oh wait, i have to pay 7.95, never mind. If F2P worlds were added, people might just try it out, get hooked, and eventually even buy membership.

2. Runescape will be dead within 1 year.


The game we all know and love could very well come to end in the next year. With a decreasing player base, it will happen. Some people quit, and some more do, after that, at this point, more will quit because the player base has gotten so low, runescape activities have gone obsolete.

I believe runescape F2P servers are the only and last chance to not necessarily save runescape, but greatly postpone its decline.

If you dont want to read, heres a quick summary
Runescape is loosing players, and will be dead soon, F2P worlds should be added to postpone or stop this decline, because people will want to try a game out first, before paying a membership fee.

Maybe try to spice it up a bit and throw a little bit of 2011 in OS? 2011 was when Runescape was at its peak with nearly 200k+ players online and a minimum of 150k at anytime, in my opinion it was the most fun time of my runescape career and I've been playing since 06. Try to throw in like Curses, Dungeoneering, and Summoning? Should also allow pures to complete the King Awowgei part of RFD without gaining the defence experience.

Also could throw in other items (I.E. Slayer Helm, Dragon Claws, or items of that nature). Should be able to buy an X amount of items at shops and they should have an unlimited amount of certain items (I.E. Runes). A Grand Exchange would be extremely helpful too.

I agree add more stuff to the game and more might be apt to play runescape so the player numbers increase again
