Right now we essentially have gravestones minus the gravestone itself indicating that a player has died in the area, and the countdown timer. It's a fine temporary fix but probably shouldn't stay after the connection issues are fixed. Having no grave like system does take items out of the game from people genuinely dying via monsters and not disconnections which is a good thing so people have to rebuy their stuff.

However if a gravestone system is implemented or polled in the future I think anyone should be able to bless any grave and the length that your gravestone lasts on its own should be dependent on a price you pay to a NPC rather than a Prayer requirement as disconnecting shouldn't rely on you having a high Prayer level. And if you decide to bless a grave it should take away prayer points and the higher your prayer level the longer the blessed grave will last.

Can people who think items lost on death better the economy not see the holes in their own argument? The items are picked up by another player so the item still exists. Prices go down due to supply and demand basic economy even any layman can understand. So i do not see how those who think items lost on death think this betters the economy in any way shape or form. Or how not losing items will impact it negatively. Its just not true.

I will be voting NO to gravestones.

This is oldschool runescape, not eoc. We do not need to be babied.

Play the game smart and you won't lose anything.

If the primary motive for the ddos attacks is to acquire other players items, then the revised system will work great. I believe that once we see a significant decrease in attacks, this 10 minute timer should be reduced to 2 minutes and not go back to items appearing for other players. This will also add a much needed item sink to the game.

Simply no. These attacks will not stop out of the blue never to come again. And 2 minutes is not enough time to recover lost items. Those arguing item sinks really need to learn basic economy.

I don't want to see any gravestones in OSRS. I think the current system of having your items appear to you for a short time and then everyone else is an excellent system. Ideally Jagex will get the network situation cleaned up and we can go back to the normal death mechanics*

no gravestones

Ronan, please state in your title post that gravestones would be a temporary solution until the servers are full protected and stable again. I don't think anyone wants permanent gravestones, but certainly would be more open to the idea that is would be seen purely as a temporary thing.

Okay, so here is my question..

You mentioned that in GWD when you enter the boss room your KC will not reduce.
What if I use an Ecu Key, into say, Sara GWD (with 0 kc prior) and my first kill we DC and die?

How will I get back in with 0 kc? Do I have to waste another key to get my items back? Does this defeat the purpose of keys? I understand keys are meant as an option to skip getting KC, but does using a key defeat this new safety 10minute no KC reducing purpose?

What I say is..

When you use a key on the door, you get an auto 40kc (entering the boss room) so if you do happen to DC before your team can accumulate 40 kc, you can run back and pickup your items.



Maybe I'm just understanding this all wrong, but this could be a really easy fix!
Have you trade your Ecu Key on the door for 40KC.

There are many cases where you die and no one is around. From time to time, items do disappear. Barrows, solo GWD, instanced bosses if they are released, etc. Just a counter-argument to your counter-argument.

Instanced dungeon you may have a small very small argument. At barrows and such not so much as people are going in and out of there all the time and prime targets these attackers had been hitting.
