Just read this Dev Blog. My stomach literally turned. When i first saw that an oldschool version of runescape was coming out I was excited to come back and start playing again. After a few months of playing and realizing that the game was going to be updated in some ways I was happy. I thought "cool, maybe they'll bring halos back or they may even bring the corporeal beast back with spirit shields and all." Those came to pass and im glad. Im all for updates. But adding a new continent... Come on Mod Ronan. If a player from 2007 were to come back and want to start to play again. And see all these updates(including new continent). It wouldnt seem "oldschool" like Jagex intended(if they didnt intend for that they wouldnt call it "oldschool" on Runescape's homepage). It'll just be a game with similar mechanics and some of the same graphics as in 2007. I hope there are as many players out there that feel the way I do about this. This update just changes the game to much for my taste.. I wont be commenting on this subject again so dont waste your breath @ naysayers

Looks great!

On a side note and note and completely off topic; would you be willing to re-poll an automated trading system before you release the trading post seeing as people opinions probably have changed from six months ago? Also, I would really enjoy it if the trading post was only in one area like the Grand Exchange was as it gave Runescape a "home base".

Back on topic, it would be great if the soul altar gave ~35k xp/h as it requires 92 runecrafting. If you have 92 runecrafting, you have earned faster xp in my opinion.

Over my dead, cold, rotting runescape corpse.

On one hand I completely agree, but on the other, I understand why they want to add new content instead of polishing what exists. It's the shine factor. "New" and "Big" sell. They want to draw in more players, and modern players won't put up with the hardcore single player focus of the game, and the non-combat elements. So they focus on combat content and flashy content.

Appealing to the market. I don't really blame them, I blame the market of people who'd rather have a new content than properly balanced skills (first). Fix what you have, then a new content is awesome.

Woahh.... No! Seriously .... Just no. For goodness sake .. I've just come back for the third time and this is what I find? I sure do hope this doesn't pass the poll. I came back originally for Oldschool Runescape, I didn't want godswords and all of the toot that goes with them. I wanted it exactly as it was.. No I'm not stunting the growth of the game.. The game that grows is rs3.. OSRS is for the people who cannot stand whats "grown" in rs3... New content exclusive to OSRS almost makes it a different game all together now, merely keeping the same game mechanics ...

Yours disappointed,

Godwars was 2007, Corp was 2008 (still oldschool) and now that people have asked the devs to stop copy/pasting things from RS3 we're being given more than anyone could have ever asked for. This is amazing. But the game needs updates to survive, it will just die off. Ask yourself, what is something that was once growing, but has suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. Dead.

Ideas for the new continent:

- Adamant dragons dropping dragon platebodies

-Rune dragons dropping dragon claws

-Kingly implings

- Some new highest level thing to pickpocket, less xp than pyramid plunder but better loot, because rogues chests arent that good anymore for money.

- A new level 78 slayer monster dropping Amulet of Ranging, giving like 15 accuracy, 5 percent damage increase and maybe 2 prayer bonus.

Other ideas:

- Dark dagger from dark beasts to make the task more worth it (higher accuracy + strength bonus dds, maybe not that original but a nice second drop with a nice special attack would be nice)

- Improve brutal green dragon's drops and the drops of other creatures in the ancient cavern

- Kingly implings

- Kingly implings

- Said Kingly implings twice.
- Dragon Platebody would be as useless as the dchain we have right now.
- Nty dragon claws from rune dragons.
- I'm ok with a ranging ammy but why only level 78?
- Dark beasts are already a really good task, super afk, good xp, alchables, clues (inc elites), dark bows are just a bonus.
