I would love this game mode! I've been excited for this new game mode to come out ever since I heard about it in April.

I really love the ironman game mode as well,
it is playing the game you love in a from a different angle
. On Ironman you have to figure out how to do things on your own while on deadman mode you need a team to survive.

I told a couple of friends who have quit over a year ago and wanted to form a team with me because it is such an interesting concept even though I told then the rules of back in April where when you die, all your stats will reset to 1.
In the current clan I'm in, we made a deadman clan for the most trustworthy and we have gathered approximately 40 people so far without the dev blog being on front page yet! So when the dev blog goes on front page we will get even more applicants. If this game mode does not pass, everyone will be disappointed :(

The main argument I see with this game mode is that it will take
too much dev time
. Well Ironman mode took a while to get released as well but we still got a lot of updates while they were working on ironman mode.
Just because it could get released in October, doesn't mean you, not interested people, will not get any game updates up and until then.
You can still do your abyssal demon boss for more pure essence in the economy without any concern about the game mode.

When it does passes and the game mode has been released, this will have
no
affect on the main game nor ironman mode since it deadman accounts can only log in deadman worlds. Unless deadman accounts are allowed to use the grand exchange, which would be absolutely stupid. The only affect I could think of is that there will be less people playing on the original and ironman mode. More resources for you!

Another discussion I see is that
it will make people quit
because they died too often and have to lose 7 levels in all stats again.
Well else they should find a team to protect each other because you're playing the game mode wrong or they just return to the main game/ironman mode. I don't think that the quitters of deadman mode will quit the other 2 game modes as well. I think that's unlikely.

This will split the pvp community
even more! I don't think so, deadman mode is all about teamwork so all the solo pkers will have a hard time to survive and will just return to w18 edgeville.

I love playing the game that I know so well from different angles. This makes the game fresh and seems new because you need to figure out how to play this game mode because it is so different to the original/ironman.

Even though you are still not interested in the game mode or don't have a (trustworthy) team to play deadman mode with, don't ruin our fun by voting no.
Me and my currently 40 other deadman mode clan members are all excited to be playing it since the idea was mentioned 2 months ago.
Please
vote yes
for our enjoyment and don't vote no because
you
don't like the game mode.

Sorry if this has been answered but

Pvp active everywhere, is it the same combat range as pvp? Like 15 lvls or will a 126 be able to attack a lvl 3?

Will anything be done about spawn killing? Like a chance to log out after dying before being attacked again.


It has been mentioned, there will be no level restrictions. A level 126 can attack a level 3 anywhere at anytime, if not already in combat in single combat area, like splashing.

The high level guards will protect the spawn killings since they will freeze and teleblock anyone with a skull.

As others have already pointed out, there are many flaws with this idea in it's current form.

My suggestion is the following:


-
Every Memberaccount can access DMM
to prevent people from being repelled by the cost.
-
DMM will be available for 2 month every year and in the end a winner(s) will be determined (A huge Last-Man Standing/ highest Total level/ most kills or whatever) with a price.

This will prevent the community from splitting and will make it so that newer players won't get owned by people who played DMM for one year already

cant wait ive been wanting something like this for years

the people talking about quitters are honestly a joke. yes weve stuck around for 10 years through **** and thin and suddenly a new game mode for everyone to enjoy at their leisure is going to drive people away. get real nobody quits runescape jagex quits for them and as long as the game is left alone it will remain the same. servers came out there were 35k players day 1 and right now theres 35k players nothings changed

jokers

I can't imagine many people will play this, it's just a waste of dev time. I'd rather have them update some skills, add quests instead of adding yet another mode. Will vote no if polled.

Well Ironman mode took a while to get released as well but we still got a lot of updates while they were working on that. Just because it could get released in October, doesn't mean you will not get any game updates up and until then.
