This is actually an amazingly interesting mode, but there are some questions I want answered:

- Is there an attack level range, or can level 90's attack level 20's?

- When you lose half your EXP, does that means you can decrease in levels?

Like if you just levelled to 98 magic, and lost half your EXP, would you drop down to around 90-92 again?

Or does it just drop your EXP back down to the lowest possible amount for the level you're at?

- How would you enter the players bank to get there item if you can't enter a safe zone? Or does an interface come up allowing you to without going into a bank?

This is such a joke, please don't waste time on this trash.

I can't imagine how many bugs are going to be in this, like in most updates. Focus on fixing your broken game, and release content that is actually suggested by players that are getting bored of the same updates.

I think it might be time to just quit for RS3 if no skilling or minigame content is ever going to come out. PvP and PvM community is a huge circle jerk that JMods are happy to participate in because they're easy updates that get the kids to shut up.

I like the idea, but xp seems like it's handled weirdly. For example, someone has a 99. If they are killed, then they lose 50% of that. What's to stop someone from killing said player repeatedly? I know they have the city guards and such, but people tend to run back for any items left over at all. The killer's party could be there waiting to kill them should they approach, causing more xp loss.

And how many city guards would there be? What would stop, say, a fifty person clan from going on a massacre in Lumbridge? You would need an insane amount of guards around to prevent that. And they would need to be patrolling the entire town, not just standing in set places along the town, such as the bridge to Lumby.

A way to remedy this could be giving these guards multi in a single zone, allowing them to effectively ward off a clan like that, if they are as OP as hinted at in the devblog.

That's all I can think of for now. Cheers!

EDIT: Before everyone flames me trying to say, "But u cn prtect skllz omg noob!" I realize that. People use more than five skills, mmkay? :D
Looking at my post history in 2022 has made me realize I may have had a very minor case of serious brain damage as a kid.

Looks good tbh, I can definitely see myself making a deadman mode account and teaming up with a few friends, although I hope that there could be a way to transfer bonds from our mains to deadman accounts, if deadman servers are separated from regular worlds.

I'm not feeling the 5x experience rate. If you can keep five skills and get 5x the experience rate then training some skills is going to be significantly faster. Will dead men be able to convert to normal accounts at any point?

MOD RONAN I HAVE ONE QUESTION TO YOU...
how you make sure that,players dont abuse it.if you for example kill any quest boss and they attack you straight after you end killing boss.i mean it would leave questing players very vulnerable..

So you are attackable EVERYWHERE, but there are safe zones, so which one is it? are you safe in safe zones or not? the way it is explained is just contradictory
