Woaw I actually discovered that today and it seems to be amazing !
For the developpers, in my opinion, you must just be careful about some things to keep the OldSchool feel:

-Not increasing the xp rate in any skill, or maybe like 5-10k more per hour so people don't really feel the difference (or rage cause they got 99 the old way) => if you really wanna add skill content maybe add a new skill that can be trained on this continent? Like "Diplomacy" skill where you play a role in the family you joined or idk

-Not making any current content die, which seem to be the biggest issue in such a release. Take care of not making any items people love less valuable, like Ags or whip etc..******; Maybe create a new equipment slot with monsters from Zeah dropping items for it (care that it should not really affect the XP rate, so you have to think a lot about it!)

-Not spreading the players too much on the world map, I think it's quite sad when you play and you're alone in a place training => Maybe close some servers so you get more people connected on the same ones but spread around the map

Some things i would add/do:
-Put a PK zone so everybody is happy!
-Try to not separate the 2 continents too much; it's one world made of two continents, not two worlds
-World events called in the chat, like family wars in colloseum
-In many cases, i'd rather make an existing content more useful than add a new one (give uses to lunar magic, to smoke/shadow spells, to some useless special attacks like whip/dragon scimmy, to halberds/maces/longswords and many weapons that are just useless in the game in most cases,... you see what i mean)
-Maybe even sell properties to players on the map on servers, and they would have to pay everyday to keep them. There would be a waiting list for each kind of property and it would be a nice way for people to show thei wealth in game!


There are so many things that could be added! Can't wait to see what you guys will do!!

I see a lot of complaining and fear in this thread, from what i read it looks like the dev team is heading in a great direction and i am excited for whatever it put out, somebody said that without new content OSRS would eventually die, and i completely agree as i would not stay around for a game that doesnt change / develope.

I am excited for the update when it comes out :)

Now Jagex, I know 2015 has been a HUGE year for updates, especially the Achievement

Diaries, Grand Exchange, and the new slayer bosses and all. But, what about Zeah? I just

remembered today that "huge update" we were, and are expecting. How's that coming

along? Are you just making us suffer with suspense? Are all the new updates slowing it

down? Is there an expected date when this will be finished?

So yea to maybe help with upcoming slayer as you mentioned these tasakaal are bred guardians and slayers why not add some of this new content to zeah give give the new area a jump start. Put Cerberus there and attract attention to the new area. Also maybe a place to get ranger boots , you know it may help these pegasian boots. Dragon boots and infinity are in essence easy obtained where as only people with absurd wealth can get ranger boots. Everyone fights, no one quits.
