I'm sure someone has already said but please change cannon to warn before it degrades to nothing so I can pickup and reset. Also it should auto reload like in EOC.

thanks :) 90th RS3 Trimmed Completionist

Free to Play for old school, currently all the players playing old school are players who've been playing the game for years. We need fresh meat in the community.
We're merely living in a old peoples home and eventually we're going to die off, without new players testing out the gaming experience of Old School Runescape, we're never going to grow like the game should be growing.

^ They can't, not yet anyway. Mod Ash explained it in a post regarding putting some extra requirements on the poll besides 100 total, but basically they have no way to read that sort of data from the game.

317-318-981-65178302 Page 2 post 1

Mod Ash: "I spoke to the web system team back when we started running these polls to ask what they could do. Turns out the website's login system doesn't get very much data about your character's stats, so we're pretty limited.

They can check skill total.
They can check free/member status.

They don't know your total login time.
They don't know what's in your bank.
They don't know your XP total.

Naturally I asked whether they could program it to get more useful data. Making extra data available in the web login data seems to be problematic for them; I couldn't follow the technical details, but it didn't sound like a small job."

He says the "website's login system doesn't get very much data", but I assume that applies to reading any data from the game for highscore purposes too. I could have sworn also that I saw a post regarding the impossibility currently of BA or CW highscores somewhere too, but that would have fallen off the forums by now anyway.

It would be nice to have someday though.
Cabbage? CABBAGE!

Maybe a poll for GE, we need F2P so the people come back or atleast try the oldschool version we love, Resting we need that option, Soulwars (it was the best minigame funny and good for skilling) and a clanoption so to be in a clan like in RS3

I think holiday "rares" should be discontinued. It completely takes away from the feel of Runescape not to have a discontinued item in the game to increase in value over time giving something to those who have been dedicated to the game for so long some reward for their efforts.
