No-no-no. Keep working on Zeah, leave this idea as it will spread the community and kill normal PK. No-no and again: NO.
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 just because you don't like the game mode.

Makes the game fresh? The new continent, it does! Deadman is a very bad idea and do not worth to work on. They should focus Zeah not such crazy unworthy ideas.
Have you ever played Ironman mode? If you haven't you don't know how refreshing it is. The game is completely different to the original one. This goes for DMM as well, rethinking how to play the game.

IMO, This isnt the smartest idea ive ever heard of. Im not going to pay to play a game mode where I have to get levels up everytime i die. no thank you. I think it would be a good idea if it was seperated from normal Completely. As a whole different game as EOC is. Maybe that would be fun, a compettion to get the higher levels. But there is no way i'd grind to get 94 mage on an account just to lose it on death. No1 will put much effort into this mode i dont think. im a gambling man, and i dont like the odds. instead of posting man hours into trying to improve and expand upon a game that alot of people love the way it is, why not use that time and effort to fix problems we are currently facing in OSRS? Such as the DDoS's, the lagg, better servers for game play?? If these issues were addressed and solved, then i believe a game mode like this may be more popular.
You need to fix the problems we currently have, instead of adding updates which is going to cause more...

Just because YOU don't want to even try out the mode that you need to ruin it for everyone who want to try it out. 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. Don't ruin our potential enjoyment.

Having better servers isn't in the hands of the OSRS team, that is the problem of the network team. Better arguments please.

I realize Oldschool will need to keep adding updates (including new story-lines, areas and perhaps skills) to keep the playersbase challenged and entertained. I understand this even though it would contradict the thing nostalgic players want of which I am one.
However I think it is a mistake to focus these updates on the playerbase that enjoys ragging and are often respectless towards other players. Instead I ask you focus on the 'good' communities.

Runescape has always been a place to meet friends and join communities; clans, minigames, bossing.
Mods have even said they would not change anything if it would hurt the community.
E.g. stream was said said they would not touch Clan Wars because of that small community that thrives on it's current state.

I think there are a lot of requests and suggestions you could put your efforts into, instead of this new game mode.

Don't take my word for it; poll Zeah vs. Deadman mode.

I'm wondering how separate these worlds are from the regular worlds. Can GE be used? Is this GE sharing the database with the oldschool GE. Or is deadman some kind of pvp ironman?

Can non-deadman players enter deadman worlds? (I don't think so)
Can deadman players enter normal worlds to safely train and buy supplies? What if they die there? This would defeat the idea of cities being safe zones as they can be entered in a regular world as well.

If the deadmans are completely confined to their world and vice versa. Do we get a third character to play with (besides normal oldschool and RS3)? Which brings me back to my first question. Is GE separate?

Deadman mode is not going to be played by standart pkers. I hate wildy pking because of pures and such, but im so hyped for deadman mode. Its much different from pking.
I know right! I'm a skiller. I love bank standing and farming and stuff. I don't mind PvM but I like skilling a lot more. I don't like PKing at all! I'm going to be a skiller in our DMM clan.
I think this mode isn't about pking, it's about teamwork. Working together to be able to survive and get levels/resources.

I would think that we get some new worlds where only Deadman accounts can log on to and no where else and Deadman accounts shouldn't be able to use the GE.

So you're saying that if I log into the Deadman world with my current stats & items & die, then I will have been robbed for my bank & my stats will be halved too even if I am to go back to a normal world? Sorry but this is a stupid idea.

What about the players who've gotten 200M in skills? If they die they lose hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of progress...

Reset the servers every 2 weeks to give everyone the hype of starting over fresh and the initial impact of a new launch with everyone starting equal

The highest ranked players of that 2 week period can get their name in a special list on highscores, so that people will always have a new chance to get on there even if they were unable to have great success in their current 2 week sesion.

Increase XP rates to make it a little quicker on the exhaustion of having to grind constantly for the useful weapons and armor. This makes the game stay the same, but revolves everything around STRATEGY and not who can grind the fastest. I think a simple 2-3x multiplier of xp will suffice.

Please address the problem of people using mules (nooby level 3 throwaway accounts) that hold items for their main so that the main is effectively not risking any items.
