Old school should be old school, not new rs3. I like how it's not as easy to obtain items and skill levels in old school and it should stay that way. :] No overriding current items with too good to be true or too easy to obtain new rewards - crashing the newly build market and prices. Fun of it is that some items are rare, what fun there is left if you can just buy them off shop just like that without putting any effort into it, I wonder? Here are my thoughts about the suggestions:

matchmaking system
- sounds great, I think it would work nicely for most of the minigames listed and for those low levels who can't find group to play the minigame with. It would be great for such minigames that people dont play as often: fishing trawler, trouble brewing, burthorpe games, fight pits.

reward shop
- Idea is great, althought most rewards would make the prices of items crash (clues and bonecrusher) - how long would it take for clue rewards to be common items? Rune pouch would be nice, augury and rigour I dont mind as long as you still need to complete king's random knight waves otherwise it wouldn't be anything special - everyone would have them. Reward shop could sell some untradeable items - rune pouches, item colouring, maybe those prayer books - nothing tradeable please!

Castlewars
- Really interesting, I would like to see the new rewards for ranged and mage and the skirt - as long as they are not better than the current melee armor (melee = adamant so also range/mage should be around that - e.g same as blue dhide for range) you can buy with tickets, also flags would be nice to be added cw rewards shop :].
Bandages:
NO!

Free runes castlewars:
NO!
or atleast make it max of 50-100 each rune.
reduced mage xp when using mage ingame: sure.
Siege weapons: not needed.
Kill 5+ players without dying and get buffed: sounds fun, i look forward

Castlewars continued:
More tickets per game:
NO WAY!
keep the current ticket amounts for cw game! no harvesting tickets and also more tickets per game would also mean it would be too easy to get all cw armors. Tickets needed to buy cw rewards could be lowered though .

Blast Furnace
- 30 smith is ok to access furnace :] NO BANK PLEASE :]
Shades of mort'ton
- yes.

Barbarian Assault
- YES! also as many have already said penance legs should not have better stats than rune with str bonus.

For barbarian assault it would be really nice to have some updates that would keep it intresting enough to play for those who only come there to visit, get torso and leave. lose torso more easily (e.g destroyed on death - so would have to come back to get another), could buy multiple torsos and armour pieces, add gamble option that requires lower amout of points (like 50 point gamble) BUT DO NOT TOUCH THE CURRENT GAMBLE OPTIONS (100, 400 & 500)!

Trouble Brewing
- yes please! love that minigame but due to quests needed to enter most can't access it, or dont have idea what kind of minigame it is. I like the idea to only be able to access minigame, and not other parts of island :] Althought would be nice if you could access the small area outside trouble brewing lobby so you can access the reward shop guy outside + bank chest (if there is not one).

non-minigame suggestions
- I dont mind adding them at all, go ahead.

Also rather than minigame shop I would love to see minigame hiscores added to old school :]]]]

"Should we allow players to get to Trouble Brewing without completing Cabin Fever and drop them into a lobby area so they can't access the rest of the island?"

I trained 47 prayer (ruining my pure) just to get to trouble brewing... and now u do this. My luck :( Good idea otherwise though.

Question: Should we introduce a minigame reward shop where you can use points and tokens from multiple minigames to purchase new items?

Answer: Sure. (would rather see a high-scores type of deal)

I'd like to see some more rewards. Perhaps some that only cost 1 or 2 different kinds of tokens. Something Skillers can enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~

Castle Wars:

Question: Should we introduce the Zamorak and Saradomin flags as rewards from the Castle Wars reward shop?

Answer: Yes.


Question: Should we add skirts as options to the Castle Wars armour rewards?

Answer: Yes.


Question: Should we add a ranged and mage armour set to the Castle Wars reward shop?

Answer: Yes.

Perhaps you could also add 1 defence sets (same stats as bronze or iron) for the Skillers/Pures. Or add a cosmetic (no stat or combat requirement) outfit. Maybe have it be one of the more expensive sets to buy.


Question: Should we allow players to buy bandages which work outside of Castle Wars in the same way as they do in Castle Wars?

Answer: Yes.


Question: If you kill five or more players without dying, would you like to be buffed which will increase the damage you deal and make you more difficult to kill?

Answer: Yes.

ONLY if it lasted 30 seconds and had a minute or two cool down.


Question: Should we add some siege weapons to help break down the doors of the keep?

Answer: Sure.


Question: Should we allow players to obtain free runes within Castle Wars to cast magic at a reduced XP rate?

Answer: No.

This has me a little worried as it would probably make it very difficult to play… being frozen every 5 seconds and all.


Question: Should 10% of your kills be translated into tickets at the end of each game?

Answer: Yes.

ONLY if there is a cap of 5 extra tickets a game.


Question: Should you receive one ticket for each enemy flag that you deliver to your castle's standard stand?

Answer: Yes.

ONLY if there is a cap of 5 extra tickets a game.

~~~~~~~~

YES
. For the rest as well.

Original message details are unavailable.
While I like the idea of a bank at the Blast Furnace, if a bank were added to the Blast Furnace, what would stop players buying out the ores shop, filling their bank, then selling the ores for more than the shop sells them for? I suggest players be able to buy ores but they must be added directly to the Blast Furnace and can not be taken into one's inventory or added to anyone's bank.

If you thought it through a bit more you wouldn't like it so much, nothing will stop shopping bots from exploiting the ore store just as they currently do the rune shops, that long trip to the bank is the only thing that keeps them at bay, except when coal and ore prices on the street get too high, I've found and reported dozens of them up there whenever prices are up.

The only way to prevent shopping bots is remove Ordan but that isn't on the ballot is it?

There are currently dozens of steel bar bots at the Blast furnace as we speak buying ores from the shop and banking bars to use at Al Karid to make cannon balls for their RWT sites to sell, these things are already into the 90s smithing level and are inhabiting some of the top 100 ranks in smithing. A bank up there means they will more easily overtake the legitimate smithers like you and I and make even more money for their owners.

Also, look at what will happen to traditional smithing, superheating becomes obsolete, normal furnaces also, who is going to do that if they can do 28 bars at once with half the coal at Kelda Blast?

That missing bank is what balances this minigame and prevents it from becoming the only viable means of smelting ores.

A bank in the Blast Furnace turns it into Smithing's runespan and turns that smithing cape into the new fletching cape.
Ha ha, made you look ;)

i like the castle war updates and the bone crusher update. If you want thousands of players to join again you need to bring back the EP system. Alone I know 3 irl friends who would play again if the EP system was brought back. The best memories i have were getting ancient statues and serens, and all that good stuff.
