That C infront of the d pick is a typo, who ever thought it was meant to be recoloured is mistaken, here is image link showing the email I sent to submit this initially: http://gyazo.***/2dda68080a57612b93ccae36dcf02b00

Nobody is going to quit because there's a slightly better pickaxe introduced, it's ridiculous, not that many people can even benefit from it so what does it matter.

Even if new content comes in what does it matter if it's not overpowered or unbalanced . Say this new boss does see the light of day, why does it matter where the concepts driving content come from, at the end of the day either we make them up and some go through or Jagex just arbitrarily releases stuff.

New bosses were always welcomed into the game and I don't see what harm a new one will do. I bet if Barrows didn't exist and someone proposed something similar to it there'd be this outcry from people saying leave it exactly as it is. The game will benefit from different, player driven content, not the old system of random content jagex make. This will keep the game interesting with new stuff that has overwhelming support.

Storm Atronarch sounds like a cool boss, but the drops seem far too much. I'd support this if it was something like; the pickaxe as very rare, rune ore rare, addy ore uncommon and mith ore/(coal?)/gems common (all unnoted). The super antifire stuff would be nice as well, but only because I want that in the game somehow. This should also definitely be slower than mining for the average player.

Rat Hunt sounds good, but I think the rewards on this are actually too slight. 5-25 rat claw chunks per week? I assume they'd be tradable, but for DIY players that's not much help. Resetting it every day seems more reasonable to me, or letting us hunt the rats once a day but for just the rat claw reward.

Soul Snatcher sounds great! Everyone having the same skills and starting equipment is a wonderful idea. The level/gear stratification in games like SW was ridiculous. My only concern is it doesn't seem to mention anything about rewards, which usually makes or breaks minigames in RS. Hopefully it's something more original than just combat xp, but I'm sure that can get decided later.

The Cat Mystery & Roof-leaping are both fine I guess, but don't really appeal to me. I don't see the need for another low level quest without much of a story, and I'm struggling to understand what the point of the roof-leaping is at all.

Well whatever wins (Soul Snatcher!), I look forward to what you guys put out. You must be sick of hearing it by now, but it's so nice having the developers be this involved with the community.

Storm Atronach. sounds like a fun boss for those who like PVM and hard boss fights, however I am concerned for those who want their non combat skills to remain relevant as a way to earn GP and produce items they will use.

Lets make sure non combat skills like mining and smithing are needed for producing the majority of ores and bars in game, and some of the best armour and weapons in game.

Boss monsters can have ores and bars, armour, weapons, and ammo as drops, however boss drops should not be their greatest source.

Lets make sure the drop rate of these items is less from boss monsters than what is produced by players who have trained mining and smithing, the skills meant for producing ores and bars and melee armour, weapons, and ammo. Hi.

I don't like any of these chosen ideas. Who wants to waste time looking all over RS for rats? Why not just put penguins back in the game. Spying on penguins is the same concept.
Soul Snatcher? Simply put Stealing Creation and Soul Wars back into the game, its pretty much those two games put together...
Roof Hopping or whatever its called, waste of time. I'll just teleport where I need to go. Way faster. What are you trying to make this game Assassins Creed?
New quest about saving Gertrudes cat again and defeating a level 86 monster? BORING....
Point is none of these submitted ideas are at all creative or unique. You mind as well make Oldschool RS back to EOC, cause this idea of RS 2007 has been progressively going down hill from day one.
I have no interest in wasting my time voting, or trying out any of these ideas when they come out.
It's funny cause I was so hyped up to see a good idea come into the game to keep me and my friends busy, and a week later our moods just dropped.
I wish we could've put a vote on all 100+ ideas, cause there could've possibly been a handful of better ideas than these top 5.
I dunno how I've wasted 8 years playing this game. I'd rather play WoW or LoL.... :(

obviously the pvm will win almost every time..

you need to do this:

poll 1: choose your favorite pvm suggestion
*add it
poll 2: choose your favorite minigame suggestion
*add it

Or in the next poll, don't include pvm. I want to see all sorts of updates.. not just pvm.

Now that I see we have boneheads running this oldschool team let me give a speech coming from a 10 year veteran in this game.

I have over 10 different accounts I have had played classic, 07, EOC and Rs3

Might I just tell you NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

All the idea's you guys have chosen are awful. None of them make anysense.

I think you would be better off bringing back more EOC content. (sarcasm)

Your driving this game into the ground already I would put up different idea's and let us vote on them, because the ones you've chosen are horrid.

Stop being boneheads this is not what we want oldschool to turn into.

I think pretty soon its safe to say If you guys drop the ball with oldschool.

EOC and RS3 arent gonna save the plummit of Oldschool.

Your already heading straight to a grave Oldschool Team REST IN PEACE.

The storm atronach thing will most likely succeed. No one wants to have fun everybody just wants easy money making. Imo oldschool isnt supposed be in anyway easy and fast but rather slow, hard and in the end rewarding.

And I agree with a lot of the other comments.

#1 - Adding new content is going to remove the Old School feel.
#2 - Surely you had better ideas than these? The mirror mode boss fight I suggested was way cooler than some of those. The Kraken was a really cool idea too.

Perhaps you should not have chosen YOUR top five, but let the players choose a top 5 from a list of the best 5 out of each category (pvm, skill, D&D). I think it would be wise to change the poll. None of these are going to pass the 75%. I can almost guarantee it.
