Currently in OSRS, there is no means of end-game prayer, making the only reason
training beyond 70 prayer is to get the prayer cape. Ancient curses will be able
to fill that gap in.
so your answer is for Jagex to just add the most op rs3 content there is? lol

get real. the only way this would even work in osrs is if theres no soul split, no turmoil and no wrath as well as no leeching prayers, which leaves the berserker prayer and protection prayers. yeah no thanks. where's the lamb sauce???????

I love new content, and the argument that 07 needs to develop on it's own is funny. Most of the ideas of 07 was taken from RS in the context of that time frame. There have already been a bunch of things added to this game past the 07 time frame suggesting that players do in fact enjoy certain things further down the line from 07. Anyway I support, but am sad in a sense because i know i will never get that 95 prayer anytime soon. Yeah I don't think soul splits healing factor would make pvp funner or the game funner for that matter and it would just make everything easier and undermine current meta. Also stealing special is annoying but i don't ever remember coming into a problem with that in rs2 back when i had turmoil. Anyway take away healing factor and you have a genuine idea =D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I support this thread even though i probably won't ever use any of these curses personally(due to the price, which wasn't a problem for many of the pkers at the time), I just love diversity. Obviously the lower level players generally won't be using these curses, so it would have more of an impact towards the end game meta.

I had turmoil pre eoc. I even endeavored to get it on my zerker pure. I will vote no if curses are ever polled. it restricts being viable in pvp to those with 200m to spend on boosting prayer to 95.

its updates like this that will eventually revert me to going fully f2p

I like the general idea of having some more high level prayer benefits, for reasons stated in the OP. They don't need to be exactly the Rs2/Rs3 curses (and they probably shouldn't).

The problem with prayer (specifically in PvP) is that you get way too big a benefit for something that only barely raises your combat level. It doesn't matter that it's very expensive to get if other players easily suffer from it.
So one would have to find a way to make high level prayers just good enough to justify a higher combat level, and also justify spending time/money on training Prayer.

For PvM, it doesn't really matter if it's very powerful, because Monsters don't care about your combat level and they have their own advantages besides prayer. Reflection curses and soul split are a very reasonable perk when fighting bosses etc.
For PvP, I really don't know what would be reasonable. Faster stamina regeneration? Better Ranged/Magic buffs? A Ring of Recoil effect?

So much of the debate here seems to be centered around the legitimacy of having an opinion on the issue. As you can see by my bunny ears I've been playing for a long time, not that I really think that has all that much to do with anything. Just wanted to get the pissing contest out of the way.

Back to the content: I fully agree with the idea of expanding higher level prayers.

I completely disagree with the idea of poaching *anything* from Rs3. Why the hell would we need Ancient Curses from some quest released way after 2007? They suck and they'd ruin shit, period.

I have absolute support for the idea of expanding prayer, I have absolutely no support for the ridiculous and lazy idea of poaching more Rs3 content and corrupting the whole point of OSRS. Come up with Oldschool exclusive content and maybe I'll throw my support behind you.

support, need end game prayers for +70 prayer, things like dung, summon, curses were at Runescapes peak when there were +200k players on at all times. now a days rs3/osrs has about 90-120k players playing between both. Sadly Osrs community likes no change like the armors, how can you keep playing a game with no change and no gear upgrades... ¸,•°'´`'°•¸ . ¸•°•¸ .:;:. ,·¹¹, Maxed 109 Range Tank pvp/pvm

Much, much support for the return of the quest, as well as Ancient Curses.

I loved the expansion and finishing off of The Digsite quest line. The prayers gave a reason for players to increase their Prayer level past 70, where Piety was the last prayer for a player. As with any update there are pros and cons to it. It helped enhance combat without changing the system, however when combined with other aspect it made soloing anything nearly possible.

I would not use that reasoning to argue against adding them to the game, however. Part of keeping the game alive is moving forward and increasing the max power level, giving players something to work for. It's simply a fine balance of pushing it too far in comparison to what's actually in the game at the time, and what the game is focused on. Though once again, I do support adding the quest and the Ancient Curses, in at the very least, a modified state of what they were.
