-let deadmen access the regular servers (scrap the different server idea)
-mark deadmen with red skulls (white skull with red outline when deadman is "skulled" ) that way I can watch deadmen fight while I'm skillin for lulz
-deadmen reset skills to 1 on death however their highest TTL achieved will remain on DMMHS (similar to HC ironman for RS3)
-deadmen will not be able to trade. However, everyone in the same clan will have a shared bank (forget the key idea, terrible idea imo) shared bank will list who took out what items..or not idc.
-instead of making OP guards have it so normal/ironman accounts can attack skulled deadmen without retaliation and no items dropped on death (items disappear) within city limits <this idea kinda blows..
-when a deadman gets rek* by another deadman <fill in the blank>
a. items disappear
b. experience trasfer
c. best 3 items dropped
d. gets a hard on
69. 420blazeit

regardless to the outcome of this mode ill vote yes so that you guys can enjoy the mode for 2 weeks and rage quit. I will not be playing this mode b/c xpwaste.. As long as you don't make dead man mode on separate servers this won't be a waste of dev time. The only true waste of dev time is sleep LOL.. oh and RS3. Kappa :D

Isn't it enough of a penalty to lose your bank?

Maybe make it so when you are killed, the killer can choose a skill to be lowered by 1 or 2. Deaths will happen all the time, and low levels can get camped to prevent them from ever progessing?

How will minigames work? Are you safe when playing the games and will there be the high level guards there?

My main fear is the use of Clan Wars FFA portal. If something is not done with it people will use that as a way to lose there skulls and bank freely when ever they get kill's and that would take away from the risk of getting a skull.

If we can trade and use the GE. Will the bank key let us look into the GE offers and take that as well?


Edit: I like the idea you have with the guards and the bank key and level resets . just incase you are seeing hate on them idea's.

That sounds pretty freaking awful. I will never participate in a gamemode where my XP and Bank contents are at risk.

I would love to see something such as: Walled cities are non-combat. Everywhere else is dangerous PvP. Have those super dangerous guards that murder skulled players patrol the roads and non-walled cities.

In fact, I would love for there to be some worlds like that available for normal players.

This whole new "game mode" called deadman came out of nowhere. It reeks of desperation for a rapid influx of profits. Any support for this deadman mode is an illusion created by hype manufactured during livestream q/a's and clever presentation. The concept is
appealing
only because it
offers a dynamic version of PVP that the osrs community craves
.

However a new gamemode is not at all what old school needs. A new version of runescape in addition to EOC and OSRS is a terrible move for oldschool runescape itself. Further Splitting the playerbase, as the addition of pvp worlds has done, (particularly PVPers!!!) will be detrimental to Old School.

Improve PVP worlds by implementing some of the mechanics deadman mode stands to offer, such as the overpowered city guards.

NO to a New version of runescape called deadman mode.
YES to improving PVP in oldschool itself.
OldSchool does not need the limited resources of its development team going toward a NEW version of runescape that is not OSRS.
