The familys feel like another game completely. As if it was another rpg outside of Gielenor. And also will there be any req to get there?
I came here to kill the helpless and save the Monsters!

Uhmm... Uhh *looks around* What was I doing?

Mabye introduce Dragon warhammer-same spec as stat warhammer-rare drop from boss on Zeah
I like to see Dragon shortsword aswell with a unique special attack useful somewhere.

I am expecting very unique areas in Zeah. Lots of different geography hopefully. Most places in runescape are typical towns that all look similar and plain. Try to bring out distinct land masses and area on Zeah. Whether it be Long beach shorelines,slightly underwater caverns,mabye even inside of a Whale's stomach(copypastedfromzelda).

I honestly think sailing as some sort of minigame or other would actually be interesting.
When RS3 announced the ports update, I imagined you would sail to different islands and that it would almost be similiar to dungeoneering, except instead of raiding dungeons you would be raiding different islands and fighting bosses, etc. Then when it came out I was disappointed cause it didnt meet my expectations.
I would like to see some form of sailing type of activity where you go to other small islands off of Zeah
and find bosses, activitys, and quests.

I would like to see a bunch of new quests on Zeah aswell. Alot of players hate quests but I'm sure a lot of players love the rewards at the end. It would feel extremely weird if no new quests were introduced to Zeah. You don't have to follow the typical old quest routes that are boring. You can make quests fun like a boss at the end or fighting waves of enemys. I would like to see a Zombie/Mummy boss with some unique mechanics found in a deserted fort in which its trying to collct human souls etc(random ideas). I would like to see some challenging monster waves and certain strategies for getting through them.

Well ill give my peace on this now instead of later.

New continent looks amazing and this is defiantly what oldschool needs. A lot of people want oldschool to keep that "oldschool" feel, but lets face it, down the line in 3 or 4 years when you are 21,25 years old, do you think you're still gonna wanna get on the game and fight the corp or just do GWD all day? The game needs updates or it will die plain and simple. Something like this is the rejuvenation the game needs! So many players are so petrified of Jagex taking the wrong turn again the way they did with EOC and therefore they have the poisonous mindset that it will happen again and destroy oldschool. As a community we should just keep a open mind about this all and understand the small team of developers we have are talented and will not destroy oldschool.

The raid bosses sound amazing. I feel that a lot of people are confused about what a raid is and they think it will be dungeonerring. Take chaotic's out of dungeonerring and would you still vote no? Probably not. The reasoning behind a lot of people who vote no is because they don't want to put the time in for the game. Chaotic's were a good addition to the game giving players more variety or higher leveled weapons. Overall, you get what you put into anything in life and that's how it goes with Runescape too. Stop expecting to be = with the players that put a lot more work in. This is of course why they are proposing a new voting system. I put much time into my voting system thread which i will bump shorty. Runescape is a game of skill where the higher the levels, the better the weapons & armor there should be.
Stop being so fearful of the EOC update that you vote no for everything because you want "oldschool" Because lets face it, if they gave us a 2011 version with dung, curses and summoning originally; All of you would of voted that > 07 in a heartbeat
. Lets just work to make this game great! Love the see oldschool turning fo

Finally, been waiting for this Dev blog to happen! I hope this new continent comes packed with new content, quests, items, bosses, etc. That way it will not only be a vast mass of new land but it will also keep the hype up for the long term.

Im sure this is gonna get 75% yes.

This looks really cool :) .

May I suggest perhaps having a lore-filled quest required to gain access to the western lands? perhaps with a minimum QP requirement, this will effectively make it almost feel like an expansion where you'd only have medium level players and up able to have access. This would be a FANTASTIC time to fill in all of the empty spaces and allusions made to the "Eastern lands" such as the allusions made in devious minds... But I guess the new continent will be to the west, and not fulfill the eastern lands lore?

The Colosseum seems epic, fitting of a Rome style Colosseum, perhaps it could also include creatures to fight along with other players? Such as the fight pits, but added to do more than simply weed out campers. Perhaps an all players vs all players vs boss monsters competition? This could be a very fun merge of pvp and pvm.

Great Kourend seems pretty epic, does this mean RS will finally get a reputation system put into play?? I would love to see this. Perhaps like other MMO's give +rep in one family and - rep in another depending on which creatures you fight in the region, which families banners you fly in the Colosseum, etc and provide family unique items that can only be bought and worn at a certain reputation? :)

Keruulm & The Tasakaal
Slayer update??? omgomgomgomg :#D

Paradigm of Exodus
A RAID ON OSRS??? omgomgogmomgomgomg :#D PLEASE.

This all looks very epic, and I am very excited. Props to the OSRS team you've done well :) I can't wait to see it all implemented.
