I'd love to have those Gravestones that can be blessed, purchasing headstones from Father Uhrney or whatever his name is from lumbridge.

Graves could range from:

• 250k for 2 minute Grave.
• 1,000k for 5 minute Grave.
• 2,500k for 10 minute Grave.
• 5,000k for 15 minute Grave.

Grave's will be optional, therefore upon release you will NOT get a gravestone, it'll have to be purchased; call it Item Insurance.

Feel free to reply, do not argue my idea, I will not be responding to this thread, it's just an idea for Jagex to look over.

Thanks for Reading Old School Team.
@alt_codes

These attacks affect all players not just the rich so we should not be charged in game for the solution. It be like charging you to enter the bathroom (cost of membership) then charge you to leave (this crappy idea of charging gp in game for a fix). So not just a no but a hell no.

Gravestones

5 - 15minutes + bless I agree with as some places are much harder to get to here rather than on RS3.

To keep death sort of an item sink, a proposed change to gravestones would be that they only hold 3-5 more of your most valuable items protected on death.

still losing guthans spear and ags over blessed spirit shield....

Don't risk what you're not willing to lose.

Yeah as people buy that expensive armor/weapon to just stand at a bank and look at it and say "Yep some of the best equipment in game. I'm never gonna use it though!!!" Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

im okay with this for now since ive been disconnected myself and it makes pvm/slayer veeerrry scary, but the thing is, you're fixing a problem with the players' actions by changing integral game mechanics. this is exactly what we saw in live rs in 2007, where players were botting and scamming and the solution was to remove all free trade entirely and PKing. i dont like that this fix was done without at least a 1-day poll or some correspondence with the community since it's setting a standard for the future that was exactly what killed runescape so many years ago.

to quote: "As this change is being made for the integrity of the game, we won't be polling it."

this attitude seems wrong to me and while i understand why you did it i dont like the implication that the developers know better than the game's community what changes are made "for the integrity of the game."

in any case, to weigh in on gravestones i dont like the idea and i never will. death is supposed to be a major thing, and to be honest runescape is already much easier on the players in this regard compared to other rpgs where you could even lose levels on death on top of all your gear and money (like everquest). when you take gear into a dangerous area you have to understand the risk of losing it, that's why we have protect item prayer and the ability to view items lost on death. gravestones undermine the feeling of growing stronger in the game and becoming more confident in dangerous areas by taking away a large part of the risk, other players coming to take your stuff. for right now, under the circumstances, it's okay, but i do not think this is a good idea in the long run.

This is a good start but the problem is when these disconnections are happening (and they happen very frequently) you may not even be able to log back in for 10 minutes or even when you do log back in you are immediately disconnected again. Really the only way I can think of to make it so items will not be lost would be to make all monsters non-aggressive and/or make it so you can't lose items outside of PvP, which both of these temporary solutions would not go over well with the community.

(I would be okay with both solutions :P )

Players want risk in Old School so that's what your going to have is risk. Don't flame me over how the game is played, and isn't the problem with the bless spirit shield alch value going to be addressed in an upcoming poll? Former RS3 Completionist, On the road to Max old school
