Is there any way I can reset my account on Oldschool Runescape to make an ironman? Been a loyal member for many years and don't want to make a new account(my current old school account I played for a day then got bored). Please consider it!

I don't buy what is being said about the capabilities of old school and adding *ultimate* iron man to existing accounts. I don't see why a second account would need to be added to the existing account. Add a toggle to enable ULTIMATR iron man mode in the game controls. All items mist be in the bank to enable. When enabled for the first time, regular stats are saved and all stats change to 1. There is no access to the bank when ultimate iron man is enabled (and all other iron man mode limitations go into effect). When ultimate iron man is turned off all items are transfered into a new tab in the bank (which can not be accessed by players ever, only viewed). Ultimate iron man stats are saved and the stats reverse to the non iron man levels. When iron man is enabled again (and invintory is empty) stats go back to iron man mode saved stats and the items in the iron man bank slot automatically are withdrawn into the invintory. As far as quests just enable the ability to repeat quests and a save is made for quests complete just like what would be done with the stats

If you say this is outside the capabilities of the old school team you FULL OF ****

So what you are saying now is we have to subscribe another membership to play ironman? I dont understand more money. Use to be 5 bucks a month for me now its making me pay 8 a month. For less benefits. Less friends on here, can't make new friends on here cause of all the scamming kids.

Might look into making one of these ironman accounts. I have some old RS3 accounts lying around.

Some questions about ironman:
- Can you buy runes and other items from the stores, or do you need to make them yourself? I remember hearing somewhere that if a player can make the item, they aren't allowed to buy it from a store.

- Apparently you can't buy rune essence or flax from NMZ store? Is the only thing you can buy the imbues and power ups?

I'd like to see an addition to the high scores for ironman...

How many steps walked
, or something like that (including running of course).


I get the feeling that ultimate ironmen will be walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, and more walking.

I'm just curious :P

I wish I had some incentive for doing this. I love hardcore mode on most every game, Diablo 2 was one of the most fun things for me.

But for as much time as RS takes to really get good, I would want some kind of reward to make all the effort I put on an ironman account. Even a cape would be good enough. Not some boring armor with horrible stats.

This sounds like truly the hardest challenge RuneScape has ever had to offer, and I would be more than happy to dive right into it: that is, if there was something that made it worth it in the long run. That's always been the fun of RuneScape for me in the first place: if you spend a long time on something, it will eventually give you access to something better, like a better weapon, the ability to kill things faster, a new shortcut, or more money (its actually all about money).

As for a couple of ideas, maybe some kind of reward shop like the NMZ. Greater rewards for doing quests. Simple things that wouldn't replace the ability to not trade, but keep working by yourself more fun. Special capes for 99's.




Special ironman worlds please! And special ironman only caves, and new islands...and...

The best part is...I'm not even kidding-that would be sweet!

Perhaps in these new areas, all the rewards would be PURELY cosmetic.




Perhaps something like, special boots, capes, or gloves that weigh nothing, but match the ironman outfit colors...

A maxxed ironman emote that takes 10 minutes to perform! :P There's loads of fun ideas you could put in.

Special emotes that are unlocked in those special ironman only areas.

I guess all of this would take dev time, but it is fun to dream.
