Really? Nothing about this update being limited to a couple of worlds?

Removal of 10 worlds won't change anything.
Watch the wilderness stay in the same state, and items crash. If this update is introduced in all the worlds. Even if 10 worlds are removed from the number of playable ones, it will be the same thing.

Staff needs to be a lot more powerful if its going to cost THAT many runes to charge it. Unless its not one charge per one cast.

2 deaths, 3 chaos, 5 fire runes, and 10 GP is nearly 800 GP for a cast. Maxing at 22 in PvM situations would be completely silly. At level 75 players can use staff of the dead and fire wave and max at 23s while only spending ~400 GP for a cast.

While obviously owning a Staff of the Dead requires a large upfront payment, in the long run it is much much better. Especially considering its rune saving ability as well.

This new staff, considering it will require the same level to use as SOT*, won't be used in PvP (yet) and its massive rune cost to use should be maxing in the 30s at level 99 magic. I love the concept of it becoming more powerful at higher magic levels, but really 17-22 is much much too low for something that should be rare and hard to obtain through the slayer skill.

Great work finally! Jagex did wisely in not making the dragon areas multi. Also the number of worlds needs to be decreased to 68.

BUT the new "obby" shields look awful. They should be changed to look differently, like spirit shield or something similar. I am also concerned about the +20 magic defence bonus of the magic shield: it makes it quite op.

I know the game needs updates to survive, but I fear OSRS ending up like RS3 eventually. The main reason there is so much dead content in RS3 is because in order to make each update not be dead on arrival, it was made the only logical alternative to some piece of existing content.

I think the community should shy away from content additions that do anything more than tweak existing content. The new shield needs to incorporate an existing item or minigame. The new staff needs to do the same, and only be the best alternative in a specific setting. I will be voting against any new resources additions because the rely on the threat of pokers to be balanced and you can't make people go be that threat.

If I wasn't on my phone I would be much more specific.

I agree with everyone saying skilling out in the wildy will be pointless because banking your items will take centuries. Plus, there will always be people out there ready to kill you and get your loot. Maybe add an item you can receive wile skilling (Similar to how you get birds nests from Woodcutting) and what it does is allow you to bank your current inventory only while out in the wildy and possibly to only be able to bank the items you get while skilling or npc killing so theres no problem of 2 people fighting out in the wilderness and one, about to die, takes off their gear and banks it all. After 1 or so many uses the item is destroyed.

So say, you got 15 crabs in your inventory from the new fishing spot, the next fish you also fish up a "Mysterious Item" and when you click it, you bank all of those crabs.

I am not good with ideas :P
