1 - I think there's way too many safe zones. Keep it simple - only safe zones are Lumbridge, Al-Kharid, Varrock, Falador, Ardougne, Camelot Castle, and all guilds.
Grand tree, especially, needs to be removed from being safe or at least make just the area with the tree the safe zone. Those Yew & magic trees will make it too easy in the safe zone.
2 - Insuring your bank adds another level of easy and takes away from the core reason of this game - nothing is safe. First you don't reset stats back to lvl 1, now you offer to save the bank. What next, offering to sell players respawn lives before they take death penalties?
3 - Stats not being reset to lvl 1 on death (
basically resetting the account fresh on death
).
-With stats not being reset, new players will be put at a disadvantage to those that have been playing a while and that's not good with this kind of gameplay.
-It makes the quest reward aspect a mess. So if the account isn't reset, the player can't go back and get the boost from waterfall quest because they already completed the quest and died right after it by a player camping the quest-complete room.
I think people are getting the wrong idea with this side-game. People want to get quest capes, max combat stats & gear, etc., and want easy-comings to do so by wanting less-strict death penalties.
What would make this side-game more fun is to take away from the serious factor of trying to get the best gear and skills, but instead to band together for strength & defense. The more harsh the death penalties are, the more players are going to want to team up to protect eachother. Those are the moments that become memories of nostalgia later down the line.
My most favorite moments was pking with my friends during the F2P 2-week trial goofing off on toss-away accounts. Search on YouTube, "Bonus Fizz Army" and watch if you'd like. Great times. Simple, yet addicting.
Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.
