(PLEASE READ FULLY) I remember when wild used to be a scary place. I think the problem with todays runescape is that the community is being divided. RS3 and oldschool, and wilderness and pvp worlds. If i had it my way. I would stop all the segregation. but im sure there are people that wouldn't be cool with that. my ideas to revive wilderness are as follows, remove extra worlds, from my point of view the only reason to have more than 1 server is because the server is too full. there are 62 worlds, I have only ever seen 1 world full. there are plenty worlds with less than 300 people in them. i added the number of people in each world playing oldschool runescape -19870- meaning there could be 10 worlds in this moment and time and they all still wouldnt be full. when it comes to full worlds, it can be annoying to have many players in an area and then there is a vicious server lagg to deal with. maybe 30-40 worlds instead of 62? Bring the community as a whole closer? I see that alone as being effective in reviving the wilderness. another option is, bringing the player killing community closer together by removing pvp worlds. also slightly effective. another option incorporates the previous, solutions? decrease the number of worlds, remove pvp worlds, and bring back the second version of bounty hunter. COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS SPOKEN TO ALOT OF THE OSRS COMMUNITY AND ALOT MORE TO THE OSRS "PKING" COMMUNITY these are some things that we would appreciate and the end result would be a greater percentage of customer satisfaction. we would be happy :) before writing any of this I had not looked much into the rejuvenating the wilderness blogs. I hope to see the wilderness reach a great like it used to be. im sure you guys are putting much thought into this. maybe you wont need any of our suggestions to make it great again. my suggestions, i firmly believe can add that much needed life to the wildernerss and my opinions give insight to oldschool runescape player(s) minds

i would really hope to see rev caves too tbh, it was such a hot spot then and attracted a load of multi pkers as well - if revs are added they should be multi zones and drop pvp armours tbh. was really good money back then + this would give pkers an incentive to have rev cave pk teams again.

First I joined rs again because its how I use to be, but u keep adding new things to it. Some improve but some are new items monsters etc that make it seem like eventually u are working ur way back to rs3. It seems to me that u want skillers to risk and fight back in wildly, but skillers went pkers. I think pk clans are just going to make an Immense amount of wealth killing unprepared unarmoured lower levels for there reasourses they took so long to gather. Because if skillers are going into wildly they don't want to risk much. Also after a while skillers are gonna get sick of dieing and not go in wildly anymore and wildly will go back to how it is now***** clans are gonna thrive and team in multi as well as 1v1 areas.

If you decrease the world limit you will be ******* over your pvm community. I ******* hate pk'rs. They ruin the community. Don't decrease the world limit. Whatever you do. Still bitter about Sailing not passing

heya! glad to see that you buffed the staff abit. can you buff it abit more? whip is still twice as good and free to use. and just wondering since you decreased speed to 2,4 and made it so that the magic lvl increases your max hit if there is also a minimum and maximum hit as well? so that you hit 24-28 unless you splash at 99 magic for instance. if thats not the case you should do that, or buff its max hit even further.

There is much truth to this. back in old runescape pking with a team meant you would have the advantage of strength in numbers. because people did actually wander into the dangerous area alone, thrill of danger. yes there was clans back then. but thats the only real form of team pking that exists today. as of today there are some small teams 2-8 players? and then the mass number of clan members that go out and team pk. alot of people dont wish to join clans meaning that in any new form of wilderness with "life" in it. these small(not-so-serious) teams will be at a disadvantage. this seems to be a problem in my eyes. its not the biggest of problems. in any case i would like to see pking thrive. my suggestion. which people may not agree with because it doesnt fit the "oldschool" style adding updates into the game. (but come on people, not every little update added to osrs has to ruin the game and lead to rs3(like some of you claim the luxury of the grand exchange will do, people have their opinions and rights to them, ).. what i am suggesting is to turn pvp worlds, into team pk worlds. the structure i have in mind could include, 3 areas for different team levels (low level-lumbridge) (mid level varrock) (high level camelot)~ or something of the sort. each having a minigame location where you enter the minigame and are presented with a buy in price per player for team. low level team buy in small buy in, mid level, medium buy in, high level high buy in. gather a team (have a limit on how many could be on a team) and when you enter the minigame you are in the city of your level group, full city is multi-combat. and what your buy in gives you is armour equal to that of other armour in defense and offense bonus and the chance to win other teams armour. but all armour looks the same. and teams are shown as a color dot on minimap and everyone else is white. nobody has names. that way clans are unable to thrive. but team pking is revived and fun :D

maybe, instead of do it with pvp worlds. rid of pvp worlds all together, and implement my idea with rs wild. I dislike the idea of adding new creatures into the wild and the placement of multi combat zones here and there and what not. maybe make varrock wild ( multi combat zone ) the place that my mini-game idea, takes place in. lots of people want to see the second version of bounty hunter reintroduced into the game. i think varrock multi combat wild minigame is a good idea. same structure as my previous post. but it takes place in the varrock wild. 3 different level groups. the goal of my idea is to make it so clans and all formed teams in general arent at a huge advantage but everyone would have fair chances. so maybe make it so the teams are randomized and formed together through some kind of computer system that groups fair matches. ( kind of like how 2nd version of bounty hunter did) and then give teams that enter the minigame another team as a target to kill. I dont know. i like it :D . fairness and fun to team pking is my goal. I think this is a good idea. maybe others will dislike it

Wow, by late this year, 07 is going to be dead with all these updates that have nothing to do with oldschool or the oldschool feel. Stop ruining the game already, you have RS3 to ruin more, not 2007.

Glad I was here for the first month of 2007 Runescape.


Old School was all about risk vs reward. I don't get how rejuvenating the Wilderness using conservative principles can't be considered Old School.


yur

an attractive wilderness is actually about as old school as it gets

the problem is just that all the content currently there was outdated by 2007. Jagex hadn't added anything worthwhile in many years
