Personally I see 5x exp as being too high. At this point with one death you will still have 2.5x more experience than you would normally and by the time you can get an ectophial or other teleport you can mitigate the majority of other deaths. Of course teleblock and large clans are still a thing but with the abundance of safe zones it seems you'll only really risk death doing quests, slayer and stuff like barrows/PvM.

I don't see anything about the GE either will deadmen be able to use it? I hope not or at least have a separate GE to allow a different economy to form.

What about monkey greegree in ape atoll? Will players be invincible from other player's attacks (still requires to get out of combat to equip it) in that form? What if I enter the safe zone while skulled, but transformed into a monkey? Ape Atoll could install some anti-magic security, just like Pescaling Pax did in his war room.

What about inside a safe minigame where you're teammates with other players (e.g. Pest Control, Barbarian Assault), is friendly fire a posibility? Also, fight pits shouldn't grant you a skull I hope :D

Will guards be massively patrolling in the big safe areas, like gnome stronghold? If not, a guard near a telespot would be necessary (if one or more exist in the area).

What about floors in the safe areas? For example, would I be able to hide from guards on 2nd floor in Taverley or Warriors guild?

Not seen on the world map, but I'd expect TzHaar city to be a safe zone, right?

Also I thought a possible exploit would be 1 defence pures with barrows gloves etc, but since anyone can attack anyone, there's no point in that I guess.

Just my thoughts, hopefully the formatting isn't too bad :P

Would be cool if there would be a kind of shop that allows you to buy quest items (like Barrow Gloves) or even defenders/torso/fire cape with points you get for killing people. I expect people can't be bothered by getting these items while being under threat of being killed and losing their items :P

This project seems awesome to be honest..

But i have some questions in my mind..

1. Will we also get x5 more xp from questing?
2. Is it possible to do trading with another deadman ?
3. Can we do partner slayer for example with each other?
4. Is it a idea to have a clanchat with a clan bank which you can use with your other deadmanmode friends if you have the possibility to have a clan of course
5. Will there be F2P version of this mode?

Original message details are unavailable.
The safe zones have been chosen as there are already guards in that area and it makes sense for that to be translated over to Deadman mode. We have also removed safezones around any efficient levelling area. We have also included a safezone at Port Phasmatys and Menaphos as there needed to be some in those quarters of the map and those areas seem to fit the bill best.

Does that mean there are plans to release Menaphos, or is it a typo and Sophanem is meant.

Does this require a new account? If not do we have to start at level 3 again? Will this be the same economy? Will a deadman be able to log into a normal rs world and use his items money stats normally as well as on a deadman world?
