Hey i'm the most active c warer in osrs. with the most tickets (known in the cwc). there's a good chunk of dedicated people in the cwc (castle wars community) that cwar daily in world 334. some of the questions you've put up isn't what most people want. free runes would make scoring almost impossible, due to too many barragers. i feel it'll ruin the gameplay. lots of people have earned loads of tickets in w334, including me. adding a ticket system that can be easily abused is out of the question, i think i speak for the whole cwc in that statement. cosmetic items and maybe items to break down doors seems a fun idea. i would also love the current decorative armors to give bonuses like in rs2, this will give people incentive for the armors as a long term goal. This is a delicate subject, please remember if you want to bring new people into the cwc, thats great we all want too. but you have to make sure the current cwc are happy with it. and i KNOW i speak for them in this long paragraph. without us c wars would be dead 24/7. #Goodwin
I second this. As an active cw player (having a few 100 tickets myself) I feel many of these changes would ruin the game and sense of achievement.
Free runes = everyone can mage for free, instead of a selected few who want to/can spend money on it.
Getting more tickets is another horrible idea. The people who active play cw and have some sort of achievement by getting the decorative armours would lose all value they have about this. Getting the armours would be more than 5 times as fast now if you boost yourself on an off world.
I support dmg boosting armour. It's great because you sacrifice defence to gain more dmg. Not just for melee but also rangers and magers. (the range/mage cw armour)
Another thing would be take 5 option from tables.
If you wish to spark activity at castle wars it has to be in a different way. Not with free runes and easy tickets.

Hi all...interesting.. Id like to ad a few comments if I may.

First off, Id like to introduce myself, prior to and during eoc..I had over 10600 castle wars games ticked up..and while there's others who have far more, shows castle wars is my game.Recently, I've switched over to old school and am loving it .=]]

Id like to comment on a few ideas put forward....matchmaking ..yes,
Bonecrusher..don't see why not
Rune pouches..again don't see why not
Rigour and Augury- I like it

Not sure about degrading weapons-couldn't tell if that meant exciting them from the game..
I definitely support Mage and Range amour for Castle Wars- fantastic idea...while bandages outside cw?..no.
Don't like the idea of buffing on kill streaks etc..undue advantages. Siege weapons sounds fun.
Free runes?...no....definitely not. Totally wrong.
Extra tickets?..no way- undue advantages given to scorers devaluing full team effort.
Skirts and flags.......?????

Barbarian assault..I like the idea of a set of legs to round out the amour set- someone mentioned having the defense of rune but below bandos in bonus not to devalue GWS amour sets. Very wise.

Buying items...

Definitely add something such as the 'buying 100' ..its unnecessarily tedious to have to click in lots of 10 all the time.

Game health, Prayer,Run toggle

Yes possibly- while not essential..and so long as it doesn't create other problems..don't see why not

Zamorakian spear.......while others may throw their hands up in horror- I love the idea of the Zamorakian spear being able to be used with a shield-fabulous!!

Now,...while Im at it..Im going to mention one other iconic mini game that is frequently talked about and lamented in its not being implemented in Old School. Soul Wars.

There are many people who have despondently talked about there being no Soul Wras to attend. The argument so far in some quarters is that there simply isnt enough players to make it work.

With talk of the matchmaking system- this would easily rectify this situation-and invalidate any real reasons not to introduce it.

You will find,as many did..that after long hours of skilling, slayer...a personal reward was often to go to Soul Wars/Castle Wars and have a complete free-for -all.
This, coupled with the rewards Soul Wars offered was sufficient to draw in large numbers- and the formulations of large clans which enhanced the RS community.

There are many people who do not wish to risk their hard-earned gear in the wildy but would like the opportunity to see the fruits of all their work in a safe, pvp combat mini game nonetheless.

These games become a testing ground for techniques and equipment...and an opportunity to earn xp in a fast paced environment......as mentioned..clans are naturally formed which fosters community- and good, competitive rivalry.

And remember I have said my game was Castle Wars..however i played allot of Soul Wars..and I know there was close liaison with both groups...I believe both mini games can do nothing but good regards game health both for Jagex and the future player base.

Quality over quantity is my opinion here, why not fix one mini game at a time and learn from its success or failure and update the others accordingly... instead of a bunch of updates at once, its a nice gesture but gives us no time to "digest" the updates, and we can give feedback for the next updates and also will give us some time to enjoy them and the jagex team more time to focus on other issues or future update ideas.

Drag it out over a month ""Mini game Mania Month" updates

not being a troll by saying your work isn't quality, I just think some of it is over thought. if it aint broke don't fix it

This.
