Hello all, I would like to say good work to the osrs team I've had a real blast since about march living the old newb days all & well. I'd just like PvP updates to come first because multi is literally dead at all times, something needs to be added to increase player activity in MULTI zones, There's already enough places to pk in singles its time multi gets a massive update.
Yes there are already enough places to pk in both single and multi in the wilderness, but BOTH are dead since the adding of pvp worlds. The action should be concentrated to wilderness to make BOTH multi and single active.

This could be done by adding pvm bosses to the wilderness that drop decent items and noted resources. There should also be manta ray fishing spots and more chances to skill and it should be easier to get to those spots. Like a lever.

For trading I imagine a system where perhaps there is an NPC that can "examine" an item for you or you could walk up and tell them what item you wish to buy and they can "match" you up with a player wishing to sell. If no one was selling or no one was buying then the NPC could perhaps tell you to come back later so the offer could be completed. This way of exchange still stays loyal to Old School roots(meeting up to complete a trade) but allows for an easier exchange of goods between people. I know it's not a fully complete idea with all logistics, but I could see it as a very good trading system IMO.

I would love a GE. I'm so tired of w1 trade bots and people trying to merch at ridiculous prices. Sometimes it'll take up to a few hours to a day for me to get items needed to do a 30 min quest.

Anyhow I would also love to include Dagon'Hai Robes. There is no additional quest needed to be added to the game to get them, just the "minigame" to kill Bork. Having the option to turn them into Necromancer Robes later on wouldn't hurt either ;) Those were my favorite gear in pre-eoc.

Bringing back the statuettes after you defeat somebody in pvp will make it more profitable, therefore more enjoyable. Pvp worlds used to always be full of people because of this back in the day, you should really consider adding that back again.

I am rather worried about the aspects of making PvM and PvP even more profitable?
Skilling was supposed to be the method of acquiring items for combat and now PvP and PvM is 100% self-sufficient. The little resources that they still need outside from combat itself are bought from bots.

Skilling needs a serious rework and a boost IMO. You can't be just handing out herb packs from all outlets and in all quantities. Something like removal of all gems from combat and random events would be appropriate. Also make onyx a rare gem from TzHaar mining site.

Random Events
I was surprised this wasn't on the list since it affects PvM, PvP and skillers alike. The least that must be done is to make every random event worth our time, i.e. a lucky encounter and not a punishment. Just toss the gems, 500gp's and half strength potions and hand out experience books from all events except genie which should give more experience than a book. (it is a genie afterall)

There are numerous ideas that you have put forward to us already such as the Kraken boss, combat pets, Soul Snatcher minigame and necromancy; all of which are possibilities. ^_^

looks great can't wait!1! take a look at the trade island McGee and I came up with when you start to tackle trading.

~CR0W
3 Word Game , Invasion , Necroancy and combat Pets , Barrows expansion , Snow Ball Arena , Lock Down Server(s) , The Trade Island by CR0W and McGee , And Max Levels . ~/Sig

Please poll Trade Island!

Part of the quest is gathering the items. That's the whole point lol
