I think the OS team has done an outstanding job on this monstrous issue and there isn't a single player who could have done any better than you guys did Mat.

I greatly appreciate that you guys took the time to listen and did your best to explain during each step of this entire ordeal (I call it such because I'm tired of seeing the threads about repolling being brought back from being next in line for chewy).

There are still questions that peeps are asking about this backup plan that seem like reasonable questions to me.

1. Can a single player pick up more than one of the item? For example: player A picks up a scythe on day one. Can he then pick up another scythe later that day, or even the next?

1. A different item each week: will you be spawning these items every day each of their respective weeks, or will it only be one day each week for each item?

Again, thanks so much for an outstanding job on this issue! "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

This bad example tells me your new to the game and that is why you support this. what is the point of having 2 untrade-abel scythe?

I think it will be spawning the same item every day for a week. And changing each week.

Having 2 of each item is nice, as it means you can have placeholders for in your bank. I'm a cow. Moo.

But where will these items spawn? Isn't there a problem with people who auto click/camp spawns?

I still seriously think this isn't the way to go, though those community events don't sound bad. I wish you could have gotten the old holiday events though.
I might be wrong, but since they first talked about this I have always thought they meant completely random spawns across Runescape. That way there wouldn't be any 'spawn' locations, as an item would never show up on the same square and maybe not even in the same area.

Might be wrong but that's how I think it will be. You will never get anything for free. Anyone claiming that is trying to scam, lure or hijack you.

There will be no limit as to how many of an item each player can get. Each time the spawn is collected, the spawn point will move elsewhere and the item will immediately spawn there. For example, the spawn may be on Musa Point and when that is collected it immediately spawns at Hobgoblin peninsula, then on Camelot beach and so on. This should stop people camping spots to collect the items.

Those who take the time and effort to get involved with this update will get the rares.

Mat.

please DO NOT put rares back in. if we can't all reach a descision I think it would be better to not take an action that will upset over half the community that plays oldschool because we liked runescape in 2007, (in 07 rares weren't handed out at holiday events)

however I do agree in your FIRST distribution method, that would be the way to go, but that should be the only way, an alternative method, everyone with an active account gets 1 rare, you guys decide how to randomize it, some may be tradable so wont be (scythe ears ect.. untradeable) over time these items will have the same effect if players sell items, stop playing, lose them from dying, but they will attain the same role they played in earlier runescape but no one can complain caus everyone got ONE.

if you do not consider this idea as something that would work im begging you from someone who played since runescape because rsc, please DO NOT add rares to the game in the current fashion, I would be so much happier having the community decide on it a bit more.
