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


im sure they could make it to where after death you cant attack/be attacked for 5 mins giving you time to get away from that...

Please make the hi scores completely separate from the other game modes so that Deadman accounts don't compete with normal ones. You can get several 200ms in safe zones in 1/5th the time. Undisputed 2007scape Reddit RuneLink Champion 2014

I'm not sure if I understand every city being safe either. If you have teleport runes then you could easily traverse from city to city safely and skill/combat more efficiently. What about pures being able to obtain barrow gloves?

"You’ll be able to create accounts on a dedicated Deadman Server and experience the dread you felt when you first entered the Wilderness everywhere."

Except for the 37 designated safe locations we have on this map.
