So if some1 takes my existing account on a deadman server (hackers you know..) and they kill me, i'll lose one inventory of stuff and levels.

The question is... are these account datas combined with normal servers or not?
I don't get it.

No, you will log in to a dedicated deadman server where you will start on a "new account".

I read this and see 5x's smithing xp. Other than that, I see a few famous players popping out the woodwork. Fletching too, cooking too, firemaking too, not runecrafting, which frankly sucks monkeybutt in comparison. Welcome to the salty spatoon, how tough are ya.
You destroyed that guy without even touching him.

"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.o fit the bill best."

I think you mean Sophanem :P . Also thank you VERY much for not forcing us to make another account for this mode. It will be MUCH more popular now in result. :D Lovin' the reduced safezones too, and changes to the 2 combat skill max protected on death.

i think we need to stop messing around with this game. WE WANTED RS07! We didnt ask for rocket scientist mods who have brain waves and pollute the game with constant beta ideas. STOP IT ALREADY! ITS FINE JUST AS IT IS! THATS WHY WE ARE ONLINE!

So the levels i get in deadman, do they affect my levels on a normal server? If so what's to stop me putting all my gear on another account and like fishing for 5x xp without worrying about dieing...?

JaGeX, I think Deadman mode is an INCREDIBLE idea. It's like PvP Worlds but with even more mechanics implemented to truly keep the player on their toes at all times. It sounds like an exciting mode of gameplay.
Don't get me wrong, I love Old School the way it is, but I've been playing since 2006, so ten years of the same game (not counting RS3, of course) has made it a little stale. I'd love to be able to start all over with this mode and really see how far I can push myself in the face of a challenge in RuneScape, considering the only challenge in the current game is staying motivated enough to grind your levels.
Bank raiding is a REALLY fun idea, and I'd definitely like to see this come to fruition. I'd dare to say it's one of the best ideas you guys have had in a very long time.

However, I would like to point out that this game mode WILL fail unless balanced properly. A maxed character shouldn't be able to slaughter a level 40. Also, getting your bank raided would be devastating enough. Being looted for 28 items could potentially strip you of a good chunk of your bank value, considering most people would try to take your most valuable items. One idea I have to balance this would be limiting raiding to a certain percentage of the total bank value. But I'm certain that if that idea doesn't suit you guys, you could find a better way to do it.

To anybody who doesn't like the idea: It doesn't affect you! It is a separate server in a separate world. None of these hardcore players are going to intrude your hours upon hours of uninterrupted woodcutting. Voting "no" on this makes absolutely no sense. Why not??

In conclusion (and I hope you guys read this so I didn't waste my time), Deadman mode would shine a new light on how I choose to enjoy RuneScape, and I'm sure many others will agree. I salute you for exploring the idea of alternative game modes, and I REALLY hope to see this happen! <3
