Can we actually get a proper explanation of the deadman changes? I'm talking specifically about these two points;

-In a safe zone, all keys are dropped to the floor.
-Keys on the floor which belong to a player who dies are destroyed.

Does that mean only keys that are gained WITHIN a safe zone will be dropped to the floor OR if I let my skull timer deplete and go back into a safe zone will the keys I have in my inventory drop onto the floor? (you did say 'all' after all)

Also, you say people can't suicide rush in guarded areas now because of these changes. However I'm very confused, Lets say someone gets suicide rushed at varrock west bank and dies, obviously due to these new changes his key drops on the floor. Now, does this key get destroyed as soon as it hits the floor OR does it only get destroyed AFTER he dies again?

Seriously, these two points are so vaguely worded I have no clue what the hell you introduced, please elaborate. :)

please answer this question

well it looks like the oldschool want is over while people are starting to realize the game needs to progress, just player helped to guide it this time and with sailing it looks like the want for oldschool to be oldschool isn't said much anymore so I think the reason sailing failed is because of all the content that was attempted to be dumped into it so fast.so will some of the content that was mentioned be polled separately because on the developer blog it said its possible that some content would be separately polled.

so is there a possibility artisan will be repolled and everything else during about the first year because about the only reason those polls failed mostly is because people were anxious about oldschool staying oldschool but the game needs to progress anyways and people are learning this.

Today jagex changed the statuette in nardah to stop providing healing services on DMM servers (without a poll). I understand where this could come from, people being able to spam the alter and continuously regain health / prayer while someone is attacking them. Now one of the main reasons that people complete the desert elite diary is to gain access to the teleport in that amulet that teleports you to that alter to regain all of your stats.

Don't you think the real issue of people being able to heal in combat could have been addressed by simply making the alter not work in combat? Now you've completely ruined one of the benefits of the desert elite in DMM. Please stop hotfixing stuff, especially when you don't understand the full magnitude of your decisions.

Curious what the community thinks or if I'm the only one who has noticed / cares. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

It was changed to match the mechanics in PVP worlds. Twitter: @JagexKiere*

Yea but deadman mode isnt pvp worlds, so now whats the point of doing spirits of the elid or desert elite? You're removing benefits for no reason you can simply just make it so you cant use it in combat. Now you've just made that teleport / reward rather worthless.

I'd just like to say, I was lvl 34 or so in DMM and had 38 HP. I've merched about to 120k including items, and within one foul swoop, I get one hit in varrock w345. You guys absolutely need to focus on getting exploiters OUT of the game by preventing it from happening. Guarantee if you do not, people will be one banged and quit your mode and it will not grow it will dwindle into nothingness.

I'll probably give this mode one last go when your new update comes out, but seriously monitor how your game is doing.. It's your game, with your mode... Don't just be Developers, play with us anonymously, see how it's doing.....

Yes we voted for the mode but it's up to you to steer it into the right direction.

It also will discourage me to play Runescape in general, because I have spent hours getting somewhere finally, and within a second it's gone literally. I don't want to play normal Runescape because this mode /was/ fun, but of course the people who take short cuts get ahead aye?
