Instead of just removing 10 worlds from the world list (which you should do), you should limit the number of worlds that the wildy updates are implemented on (10-13 worlds)

Sounds arbitrary/silly to me.

I think they should remove 20-30 worlds instead though. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

also mod mat could you address the situation with dragon hatchet will it also have its special attack changed along with the dragon pickaxe?

I'm afraid that we won't be looking at the dragon hatchet in this update. But, we will certainly look at it in the future.

Will you be taking more feedback in regards to the Kraken staff? While it has been improved, a whip will still be far more effective for every slayer task due to the much higher max hit. The new staff needs a comparable max hit (around 40 would suffice) to justify the constant expense (casting cost) and to actually be "worth using" for some tasks.

Removing 10 worlds from the game may indeed increase activity in the wildy - but, only by a very very few. However, it will have a negative impact on those players (and yes, there are a LOT of them) who don't want to base their game in the wildy but prefer slayer etc.

Everyone is assuming all these changes will make people rush to the wildy - if you don't like going to the wildy now for stuff, you aren't going to go after these changes either.

Unless there's a massive advantage to skilling in the wild (which would open a whole new can of worms) why would anyone bother as its quicker to bank in non-wildy with no losses. Greed doesn't motivate every player.

On a more general note, yes, it would be great to have your heart beat a little faster when you see a lot of white dots around mage bank again, to have mage bank full of people again, and with tons of people pking/fighting just above Varrock etc. This update won't do it. Most people who play OSRS are those who have played RS before, and most won't change the way they play.

F2P would be a way to attract new players which would also increase activity in wildy. If someone wants to try the game, experiment making a "pure" etc. F2P would be the answer. Currently OSRS is at a disadvantage as even though it is part of a game that is advertised as "free to play", you can't try it/play it unless you are a member.

Sure, the pvp aspect is part of the game - but, its not the main objective of the game for most players.

One last thing, please, either give us more bank space, or remove Uri's Emote clues !

Sudden outburst of common sense from Ne2o on top of page 66.

Add impling spawns and possibly a new impling to catch in the Wilderness, and you might get me to go into the wilderness. ;)

that would probably attract more people into the wilderness and to the hunter skill as well below i'll list possible impling names/loot.

possible Impling names: Wild Impling/lava impling

possible level requirements 88-91

noted logs of any kind which could be based off the ents

runite ore/bars/rune items

possibly dragon items: dds/dlong/dmace

gems: noted sapphires - dragon cut/uncut

noted lava dragon bones maybe other drops based off of lava dragons /demi bosses/other bosses within the wilderness (obviously not visage / shield pieces / d pic)

amounts of the bait for the new fish maybe even raw or cooked noted amounts of the new fish

this could or could not be something players want but it would be cool seeing this polled hopefully it sparks creativity in more people for future updates

please give feedback thank you :)
