Let old school develop on its own, we don't need to take more quests and content from the original game. More quests will come that will be unique to old school, bringing content that is unique to old school.

That probably has been mentioned before, but I would suggest a middle way.
Maybe we can have a Temple at Senntisten Quest, but with a different name and different lore as well. Why should it follow the exact same storyline? There could be a completly different one with different requirments and rewards.

With MM2 we now have our first OSRS-only quest, let there be more...let there be MUCH more!
This could be a chance for completly new questlines and different outcomes to existing ones.
Zaros could have a different personality as well...maybe seeking to restore his old empire...maybe he is after something entirely different. Who knows? So many possibilities.

As for the Ancient Curses - they could still exist. But with serious changes, some - potentially ** - ones like Soul Split complety replaced by something different. Again, why copy the RS3 curses 1:1?
The Curses could have a complety different theme too. Maybe less combat-orientated and instead they give perks on various other categories...
Maybe very much combat-orientated indeed, how about they actually lower some stats while they raise others, making them very specific in their use....
Example:
A curse which raises the accuracy and/or attack speed of your attacks, allowing you to dish out more damage in a shorter time. But in return is has some nasty side-effect...maybe it lowers the maximum hit in return, or it makes it impossible to run or teleport while using it (plus a short time after deactivation) or it lowers your defence drastically.
This could be a curse for a high-risk/high-reward combat style.

And thats just one example, again, there is the chance to make ToS a completly new quest*

**;dr:
I like the idea itself but instead of copying the RS3-Version of ToS, there should be a new plot, new requirments and new rewards...

Yes...yeeesssss. This is what we need. I would love for our own rendition of the quest. I am actually working on a design for exactly that, so look out for it some time in the future.

As for Zaros having a different personality and wanting to restore the empire, that would be awesome. Maybe this time, when Zaros and Seren are restored they would discover that their curses of love and loyalty are greatly diminished or gone. Their deaths having been damaging enough to erase the effects and now allowing them to interact more. That is of course, only possible if the writers decide to make their curses a point in OS as well. Old School Runescape will eventually need higher level armor. Check out my suggestion for Level 80 and 90 Armors and let me know what you think! Feedback welcome!

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Whether it is constructive or criticism, your comments helped to build this thread and lay many ideas out. I appreciate everyone for their contribution, to all those who support and those who do not, for your own reasons and view at the topic. I hope that we may come together and open up more possible ideas as well as continuing to build up everyone's opinions.

Thanks for being awesome! :) The pessimistic idealist

personally i'd be most excited for the deflects. they were nice.

anyway, the real problem with soul split isn't its healing amount, it's the fact that it can be flicked indefinitely and therefore people just heal for free while slaying, at bosses, etc.

so to fix that, they'd best make it so you can't flick soul split. there are two ways of doing that. either make it so you can't heal anything until it's "charged" (rather like turmoil, actually) or they could multiply prayer points by 10 and make the soul split drain very substantial, so even if people tried to flick it, they'd still be losing a lot of prayer points.

i dont see why this kid is suggesting curses surges. go play rs3 if you want curses surges so bad.

Hmmmm.....I suppose I could have just said this on your thread huh? Since you have this belief? 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

I noticed that hypocrisy too, and it is something I frown upon. Although our views do not usually go hand in hand, but I am glad to say that this is something I agree with you, Avid. It angers me that this individual comes in with a crude point, completely lacking in good reason and without elegance or thought, and attempts to defile this thread in such a way. I cannot accept his argument when five minutes later, the very same person posted his own thread on a similar suggestion where his own logic conflicts his very post. That is the apex of hypocrisy.

With that being said, I also noticed this person going around other threads and degenerating them with unsupported and uncalled for comments; this is the very essence of flame baiting. I express my sympathy here for all those who come up with thoughtful ideas and took their time to construct a well written post, and also extend my goodwill to those who suffer and endure the unjust flame-baits.
