I suggested free runes a couple months back and I appreciate that you guys are considering it.

But reading through the pages I see a lot of mixed feelings about it. Most are overexaturated because mages are always targetted and easy to take down with melee/range.

I was thinking about introducing free bolts/arrows and melee potions to ''even'' it out even though melee & range sets -who will most likely pass- get stat bonuses boosts.

Easy to take down? Yh especially when they camp in their base next to the respawn room which these days even has a prayer altar in it... seems legit

Few Things about The new minigames
1. The Free Runes in Castle wars is stupid
2. If the Flag score thing passes people will camp it with two people in each portal scoring each others flag getting them TONS of tickets
3. The Barb assult new legs will be awful ruining Bandos Tassets price

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.
I agree with this so much.

My personal interest lies only in Castle Wars, it's a minigame that I've played nearly 4000 games of in the other game and is honestly THE only reason that I started playing OSRS. I want nothing more than to see this minigame flourish, but with such a disappointing level of activity I've only gained 79 tickets here to date so far.

Please please please do not let this poll be the end of this as the questions that you have come up with fall so far short of what this minigame really needs.
Cabbage? CABBAGE!

If free runes gets a pass there wouldnt be close as many mages as there were pre-eoc. Plus I think you and many others got this image inside your head that CW will be overrun with people in max mage who know what they're doing, this won't happen either.

The Zamorakian spear is an extremely accurate stabbing weapon, but it requires both hands to wield. It would be considerably more useful if it could be wielded alongside a shield.
Should the Zamorakian spear become a single-handed weapon?

That would make it a Zamorakian Hasta. Perhaps you should be able to convert a Zamorakian Spear to a Zamorakian Hasta at the Barbarian fishing area? (with appropriate smithing levels)

If they are making the update based on this thread, which is where it was first suggested and supported, then it would basically be what you suggested :)

I'm really excited for this update I sure hope Fight Pits makes a comeback it was my main reason for coming back to 07. Also it would be nice to see Clan Wars make a comeback as well. The safe and dangerous portals where players could go in and have fun in a relaxed environment were a nice way to pass the time. I feel that after I finish my pure I won't really have much to do.. Fights Pits was my reason for coming back but it's basically dead. I'm also not much of a pker but I did enjoy mini games that aren't long and dragged out like Castle Wars where I could bring all my best armor and have fun. I'm sure I'm not the only player in this predicament. (: I hope this post gets read because there really are lots of us out there who came back for the old experience of these mini games.

* Augury and Vigour: why not release a ranged and maged version of the Knight's Wave miniquest?

* C'wars free runes: we wouldn't want everyone to be barraging, so no to free runes. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad for the normal spellbook alone though?
