Ok. I really like the skip dialogue, clan wars, Godsword, combat potion share, and teleblock in F2P, all that stuff. The poll requirements seem good, so people don't just make accounts to vote for something. But I don't want the website poll to leave. Now what extremely sucks, is the Wilderness ditch update and the automatic drop. This is way to "EoC" for me. We voted to play 2007 Runescape. The more "Eoc" polls you put, the more comfortable players make 2007 the extremely crappy "Eoc." Now I'm kind of a hypocrite for voting for the G.E, but that just makes spam trades, and trading easier. Hopefully you people are smart enough to vote for the right things. ;) unclan

R*vHunter and Ayisha, 2008 - 2010 Wildy on even one world would never ever pass a poll.
Instead of having separate servers why not just give us the Forinthry dungeon however you spell it that existed in 2011?
That way we keep our old Wildy without unrealistic requests such as a "safe Wildy world" and you get to kill your revanents, though personally I hated them.

* believe the reason given why Revs in the Forinthy dungeon aren't viable in OS is due to their drops being rejected by the community. Without over-inflating/powerful drops, the dungeon isn't going to attract people and so it's a lost cause here.

The original aspect of Revenants as unique behaving, wandering groups of creatures throughout the Wilderness that were dangerous & unpredictably placed is what overcomes their lack of drops. A normal item drop table (more than just coins & very rare rune item) would be much more acceptable than Forinthry version's over-powered drops that were farmable in one definite place. The Wilderness rejuvenation already added bosses & creatures with farmable drops, but nothing exists like wandering revs!

Perhaps the wandering Revs could be included in a non-PvP area of Zeah?

Edit: In reply to Ownage:

I'll still be voting against having dropped items appear instantly. Imagine the "griefing" players will get simply trying to catch 1 black salamander for the task set...

Pking is supposed to be a *part* of the game, not something that is gleefully inflicted by the lovers of it on the haters of it simply for the pleasure of trying to frustrate a stranger.

I would also like to see revenants be repolled. I think bringing back the forinthry dungeon would be a good idea, because it was a good wilderness hotspot for team pking and a good place to kill green dragons. Thanks

Everthing sounds okay, especially the clan wars! But don't get rid of wilderness ditch. I like the animation, the story behind the ditch and its nostalgic for me!

Remember that word "nostalgic". I don't mind adding things in and tweaking things here and there but keep the game to its original purpose.

And Im fine with being able to skip dialogue, but don't remove the conversations completely, like RS3. I like seeing my character chat after I pick an option.

If players want no conversations like RS3, then make it an option in the menus like many other things.

Please don't wreck this for me. Oldschool is all i really have left

"Question: Should you be able to press the spacebar to continue through NPC dialogue and use number keys to select from options that appear in the chatbox?"

Please specify that the standard method will still be available, last time, some people thought that you were replacing the normal chat navigation method with this one instead of supplementing it. I actually tweeted Ash/Ronan about this..

Ash's response: "orly? Well, okay."

So we should be seeing the question updated to reflect that you can still use the standard way to go through dialogue for the poll.

Thank you sir! I don't have twitter, and I know J-Mods are into it, but I just won't use it. Glad to know this will be addressed!

There's another poll option I'd like to introduce to you. This poll question did not pass the poll but I'm sure if you re-worded the question, it would intrigue more players. The poll was about the
Pures
returning to
Ape Atoll
after completing the
Monkey Madness Quest
. Many players (including me) are having a lot of trouble training they're Ranged Skill and other combat skill efficiently without Ape Atoll. I myself made a complete mistake completing the Quest without realizing the consequences. Now I can never return to the island unless I get the Defence Xp reward which I am not planning on doing. So it would be great if you would re-poll that question to help us Pures train their Combat skills without it taking a bundle of time to achieve. Here's a potential question you can ask in the poll if you choose to re-poll it:

Question: Should we introduce the Ape Atoll island to Pures that have completed the Monkey Madness quest but have not taken the Defence reward from Daero? This would allow them to train their desired stats more efficiently.

No support for people who choose to put restrictions on their account and then make the wrong choices. You still can chin in the caves, you just need to take experience first. Thankfully, I don't even see this being repolled, and even if it hypothetically were, this game has never supported favoritism for pures.
