Hello,
I would personally like to see the divine spirit shield added to the game. After lowering the voting threshold percentage to 70%, the shield has already met the requirements twice now. With all the new content, bosses and things to do, it’s needed in the game. It should’ve never been excluded from the game from the start.


Next I would like to touch on the curse prayers that were introduced in December of 2009. IMO, 2009 to early 2012 where the golden years of RuneScape. I loved the curse prayers when they first came out. I wasn’t a very high level nor did I have 95 prayer to use the good ones, but I did enjoy the mid tier ones. I’m speaking from a mid level standpoint at the time. I’m not really a fan of the new prayer proposals. Why not add the Temple of Sinisten quest with the true prayers?



I would like to talk about the ancient warriors armors that are in the beta testing worlds. I’ve been in the forums sections for many years asking for them. I’m happy that they’ve finally arrived, however I’m very disappointed that the defensive stats were greatly reduced on them all. Please restore the original 2008 stats for them just like in the DDM servers. Also, if the miasmic spells can be introduced for Zuriel’s, that would make magic that much better! And finally, make them usable anywhere. Not just in PVP!



Lastly, as for the new skill that’s going to be added, I would like to see summoning in the game frankly. I don’t much care for the new proposed skills. I liked the warding skill from a couple years back over all of these. Summoning was introduced in 2007, just like this sever is based on. I know a lot of people in the forums have been asking for it.



These are all my personal opinions of how the game should go forward for now. All of these were the absolute peak times of RuneScape :face_holding_back_tears: I would love to get feedback on some of the things I’ve talked about, especially if any J-Mod is reading this :smile:

I have no idea about the cursed spirit shield so I won't weigh in there, but we definitely don't need curses back from rs3. we are already getting a new prayer book shortly with the release of DT2. those skills are a lot more moderate and if you ever used Soul Split or Turmoil you'd know there is no need for those prayers in OSRS.

Summoning is also something that old school doesn't need. it was released in early 2008 and was considered one of the tipping points for the original game. One of the big reasons Taming is not liked among the other 2 skills is people think that it is too similar to summoning. there is a reason that they decided to go with the patch of the game that was before Summoning was released.

Cursed spirit shield? What are you talking about? I’m talking about the divine spirit shield, it’s the fourth shield from the original spirit shields. As for your comment about the curse prayers, I’ve already looked at the new prayers that they were looking into putting out, it’s practically the curse prayers. They might as well just put the original ones. A lot of people loved them, including myself. 90% of people who hated them didn’t even have the necessary required level to use them. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Why should we let the ones who never used them make decisions about them?


Also, a lot of people really love summoning. The charms were untradable. So you actually had to really work to get the skill up. And the shards were pretty pricey themselves. That would be a great money sink for the game, instead of the GE tax nonsense.

Sorry I meant to say Divine spirit shield.

Also, I had a Max Runescape account back in the early 2000s I used all the curses. Curses were originally used as a pvp prayer book due to all the stat drains available through them. Both Soul Spilt and the T95 prayers were the only things used in PVP and it made the pvp scene very boring. The new prayer book is a lot more suited for OSRS.

Summoning Is game-breaking in most of the osrs bossing. The pack yack alone would cause tons of problems in the game and most of the summoned creatures were just thralls on steroids.

Most of your ideas are just unnecessary power creep that could be better used as new releases of content instead of nostalgia for your "golden age" of RuneScape.

Bosses are now using prayers, including two that use curse prayers. And do you want to talk about power creep? Lol. Oldschool bosses are stronger than the ones that used to be in rs2. And now it’s mostly about the whole tick nonsense… You misclick 1 time & BAM! You’re dead.. That also goes for PVP. If you wanna talk about what really killed pvp it’s that & the whole tribrid. Also, all the PKERS now are all on private servers You wanna know why? It’s because they got curse prayers there.. They been ignoring the PVP scene for many years and catering for skillers & PVM’ers.. Since you wanna bring up the “golden age”, most of the updates from the past 2-3 years or so have been a copy from that era anyway. The surge spells, Nex boss, Torva armor, the Rapier (from dungeoneering), the ancient warrior armor (pvp) that’s in the beta servers currently.. So, yes, you’re right, I’m closing in on that “golden era”. Just missing a few things.. Bunch of noobs ^_^

Corrupt pvp armor was polled and failed because they insisted the armor would be used in all areas. At one point a jmod said they would restrict it, but on the day of the poll, the OFFICIAL post still said it would be useable everywhere, which caused it to fail. The armor would have competed with armor that degraded, and would sell at the same price as the repairs for a set of armor used for the same amount of time as the corrupt would last. This meant they would destroy the prices of all armor not gained in the wild.

A large percentage of people hated it, esp. because of the charms. As a result, they are offering taming, which is (in their words) summoning without the charms.

You obviously have not been paying attention. Jagex DESTROYED skilling in the game by adding all kinds of resources to wild pvm and pvp minigame drops. Let me give you an example. When revs came out, they dropped 1000 noted coal about 1 time in 20. In between, they commonly dropped 100 coals and this was on top of all the other resources they dropped. Based on the cost of the resources at release, you could be assured of getting 2 to 3 million gps per hour. Problem is, that much of an increase in supply tanked the market. Coal went from 200 gp to about 35 gp in a matter of a week. The same happened to every resource. Pkers were complaining that they had been promised 10 mil per hour and now did not even get 1 mil per hour. Jagex had to cut the supply to keep the pkers happy, but it never recovered fully. Even today the resources still only sell at 70% of what they did pre rev.

All of this for skillers not being willing to vote to completely destroy the non wild economy.

I share the sentiments with you in regards to not wanting OSRS to become RS3. After reading the discussion between the 2 individuals in this thread, I feel I am somewhat in the middle.

I am a fan of Zaros and therefore a fan of Zarosian things, such as the Ancient Magicks, the RS3 Curses, quests, etc. So I am probably biased.

I personally wouldn't be opposed to the ancient curses being added to OSRS, what I don't want is: 1. Evolution of Combat 2. Making old things obsolete (god staves, god spells, god books (like unholy book)), changing quests to make me redo them 3. changing of graphics, etc.

I am unfamiliar with the new prayers being released, can you include the URL to them in this forum?

there are definitely some similarities between ruinous prayers and curses, but it seems like they developed a good middle ground and removed the game-breaking curses like soul split

this is a link to the osrs wiki that tells you pretty much everything about the ruinous prayers that are going to be released.
