OSRS desperately needs new activities and technology that supports multiplayer. I feel like there's too much emphasis on single-player gameplay right now. Many would agree that activities become more fun when you do them in groups.

Penguin Hide-and-Seek, Evil Trees, Bonfires, Stealing Creation, and Clan Citadels were all very popular back in the Pre-EOC days, and I'd like to see them make a return.

Jagex should also work on bringing back the loot share system. Group slayer was a great idea too. It would have allowed for clans to do wilderness slayer tasks together, and protect eachother from PKers. (Please explain why this idea was scrapped)

Jagex has made it quite clear that the only loot sharing method they are willing to do would be one the players do not like because it encourages scamming. Years ago, they voted on it. They were going to put the one they wanted first, thinking people would want it, but due to feedback, they realized they could not get it to pass that way, so they moved it to third position, thinking if the first two would fail, we would have to give them the one they wanted. We said no and told them to vote first on if we wanted one, then to vote on which one. They refused. Other ways get multiple votes, but this only got the one because they realized we would never approve of the scam system.

The game was created by soloist for soloist and the majority of players are soloist. That is why dung was so horrible, since it rewarded a tiny minority for being part of clans. That is why clan citadels would never pass.

Stealing creation was created primarily to be used for pvp when they had taken out pvp in the wilderness. It was based on summoning, and they can not get that into this game. It would require major updates to the game engine and they do not have the money for that.

I did love penguin hunt, but I know a lot of people thought it gave too much exps.

Evil Trees and bonfires, I never got much of experience with, since my main had 99 in wc and fm just about the time they came out.

As to team slayer, they took it out because it was being used for rwting. They still want to bring it back, but can not find away to keep it from being used against the rules.
