Hey guys, some of the feedback suggests we need think a bit more about some ideas. Firstly, free runes in Castle Wars - many of you are worried about lots of barragers freezing every one all the time. How about if we only supply the elemental runes and mind, chaos and death runes. That way mages can cast up to Fire Blast for free but will have to supply their own blood runes for more powerful spells.

Also, the extra tickets for killing more players or capturing the flag in Castle Wars has raised some concerns about farming the game. We could limit the extra tickets to one extra if you kill 10 or more players and one extra if you capture one or more flags.

Some of you have also mentioned the stats of the penance legs we suggested. We don't want to devalue any existing items, especially not the tassets, and many of you have suggested it should have the same stats as rune legs but with a +1 strength bonus, we'll happily make those the stats if it is what you want.

As T o m m i pointed out people will just use Ice Burst. I suggest making it refund 50% of used runes. It'll have similar effect to accumulator/attractor. It'll refund 50% of runes because you get XP even if your spell don't hit.

About extra tickets. Those are good ideas. I have one more. Restrict those bonus tickets only to designated CW worlds and then go with original idea. "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."

Would it be possible to allow one to hold more than 500 points in a role in Barbarian Assault? Highest level gamble requires 500 points and since a full game gives roughly 400 I either have to switch mid-round or waste up to 300 points.

Thanks!

VOTE YES TO ALLLLLL OF THE UPDATES!

Meanwhile, I am miffed at the fact that so many people are considering down-voting having a one-handed Zamorakian spear. With the defence bonus removed (which it will certainly have, considering hastas have negative defence stats), the Zamorakian spear only becomes useful in the fact that it has a decent and half-decent stab and crush accuracy, respectively.

People continue to suggest that making it one-handed would make it `overpowered,' but let's all be honest here - the Zamorakian spear has +3 stab accuracy on the whip (in exchange for a -7 Strength bonus). In certain situations, it's undeniably true that a one-handed Zamorakian spear would be more useful than the whip, but that's the point of weapon diversity.

I would like the Fist of Guthix Minigame to be introduced to the game.
1. With the option of having all the herb gloves from harrlander to dwarf weed, excluding snapdragons.
2. Option of having rune berserk shields be spikes instead that would increase a shields stats excluding dragonfire shields.
3. Dragonhide coifs should stay the same.
4. Gauntlets should stay the same.
5. Fishing gloves should add lobster and monkfish but have a 50 xp rate.
6. Runecrafting gloves should include all runes.
7. Dragon slayer gloves should be changed to Slayer Task gloves or something like that change slayer gloves name? The slayer gloves would then give a player bonus slayer experience to ANY slayer task monster to a 10% increase. A 10% attack bonus as well. Crumble to dust after 1,000 creatures slain.
8. Robes should stay the same with a possible added higher set past battle stage.

I have a brilliant idea to help improve matchmaking. We can have a que system for matchmaking. The way it would work is there would be a setting the the tools tab near the inventory and you can choose what minigame to play and it will put you in a que. While the que is going on this will not affect your ingame process of skilling or doing whatever you're doing. When your searching you could get put into a cc (jagex could make a few private listed cc's for the certain minigame you are searching for) with anyone else also in que to play the same mini game as you. From there on you could arrange with a few people in the chat where and when to meet. There will obviously be some changes but a similar idea like this would help in team minigames so much more!

fully support the z spear i have been praying for a good 1h stab weapon to do dragons with.
1h z spear would be really good because WE HAVE NO GOOD 1H STAB
i dont agree with critics about devaluing whip, its stronger and counts for slash not stab z spear also has a good crush, 2 birds one stone. =)

The other updates seem minor and wont hurt to add, also don't think they will change much in order to increase mini games its as simple as better rewards. imo, unique rewards for each game that without question help the players would really put the heat on minigames.

off-topic but im already here running my mouth what about d defender don't like running around in dragon with a blue defender, lol
