This game mode doesnt interest me at all and i agree with all of the previous points made about dividing the player base etc.

I have also seen very little support for this since it was first mentioned on stream, there is a small minority of players and jmods constantly hyping this idea but i would rather have this dev time spent on reviving minigames or maybe adding a new, rewarding, stealing creation-like minigame.
playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

Deadman Mode will divide our player base further, kill our current PvP, and offer highly punishing mechanics which will ultimately have players quit the game!

Dividing The Player Base:
We have the standard Runescape account and by bastardized popularization we introduced Ironman Mode, and the absurd Ironman Mode. Currently we don't have enough players to fill our worlds, or their content. Zeah is on its way! We can't afford to split our player base further.

Our Current PvP Is In Trouble:
PvP is currently no risk, no reward, and always being ddosed. If you introduce Deadman Mode and people leave our current PvP it will die out. Furthermore, Deadman Mode will become ddosed like current PvP.

Player WILL QUIT:
Let's transition perfectly into the ddos issue. Players will be punished to the point of no sympathy. All of their beloved work will be gone and so will their admiration for this game.

Do you really want to do this!? Just because Mat K said it was a cool idea on stream? Should we let the game as a whole suffer for the mistake of one person? Let's see, why is this familiar? Oh, right, Evolution of Combat and Mod Mark. Our game has quickly dropped from 50K to 40K player base. Our game has made a 10,000 USD PvP tournament to try to hype PvP. PvP is already in trouble as is all of our unfulfilled content. Please CANCEL this terrible update before it's too late. I get people are blinded by hype, but maybe they should take a second to consider the risks this update will bring.

Solution: Don't play it then... Seriously... Don't say just because you don't like an idea doesn't mean no one should be able to play it... Simple minded pessimists ruin this game more than creative content ever could and just because you would quit doesn't mean others will. Just remember we are not all like you. It's content that would effect your game-play in the slightest and you don't look clever for ******** on people's parades like this.

You lose too much when you die, and aren't rewarded enough when you get a kill. When you die you should only lose 7 levels in your combat stats, your skilling stats should be left alone. Also, when you kill someone, the xp that they lose in their combat stats, you should gain! High risk high reward = FUN TIMES!

I would never play this because it is rediculously negative. I like to play and still it takes me forever to make gains - let alone see the noob next to me and think dam. to bad im poor or icould have some fun with this guy. it already takes so freakin much.
I think the idea is fun though the game is just already time consuming enough! Make it 1damage - 1level imo. llike 30x exp

That isn't true at all. Deadman is only available on oldschool, and pvp is fine there. It will only have an effect on pvp if people think it's better. The reason people quit with eoc, was because there was NO choice. With deadman mode, it's completely the persons choice.

I get chris archie thinks its cool but please stop holding every opinion he has like its jesus's... This is going to have a horrible long term consequence on the game. Dividing the pvp community even more. Why don't you spend the money you would developing it on some real servers instead ones that people can hit off using the local grocery stores pile of potatoes. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"
