I won't play a minigame called Last Man Standing because I'm a girl so instantly the title turns off any interest I might've had.

Last One Standing is as easy to say so why not address the minigame to your whole audience?

I hardly ever read the forums and just heard, a month late, that there was a poll asking for gender and only 4% were female. I'd say that's a conservatively low estimate.

I doubt anyone reads this, it seems to me that jmods only see feedback from reddit/twitter, neither of which I use...

Oh give me a break. LMS has been the title of a game type in many games for years. The fact you're not going to play it because the title has "man" in it is so sad. If you take offense by such a small thing, you should get back in your plastic bubble and disconnect yourself from society.

Max stats? Seriously, what is the point of leveling my skills and putting effort into my character when all that is made redundant by just making everyone maxed?

I get it - you want to make the minigame fair and balanced for all, but what then is the point of training and leveling our characters, if we get max levels anyway? Sure, it's just for this minigame, but this minigame should serve as an incentive to gain levels to perform better and win, not this private server nonsense.

You see, then the only people that would play it would be the ones that are maxed out. Giving nobody else the slightest chance.

Although, right after I typed that reply, I thought it would be cool if there was a specific league of LMS so you can play with your own stats. Now that would solve the issue.

Y...you're trolling, right?

I know feminists are notorious for their low IQ and persecution complexes, but "man" is short for "human" here. It doesn't refer to the male gender. Kind of like the term "mankind" is short for "humankind"... think you can grasp that idea?

i really hope that the free to lay version will include members weapons.
- considering im not a strong pker
-that free to play at times can be boring
-i think that the free version would allow me to cheeply learn spells (like lunner and ancient considering ive never personally had the chance to try them.)
and would allow ftp, to experiences member for some of their first times.

This looks like so much fun! :D

I also really like that there is a f2p option. When I get membership, I only play RS and dont look at OSRS because I dont want to split my time and money. Having something this fun to try out while f2p might get me more invested in OSRS.

The idea isn't bad I mean obviously its just a copy of all the battle royal games out there, But it could be very successful for sure whats strange is TzHaar Fight Pits already exist and is pretty much dead. I can see whats different is the gear you have and the levels sound much more fair. I'm not sure if you mean to have all maxed melee or classes like maxed archer maxed mage or a mix of such I feel classes would be better. One thing that happens in large battle royal games is you get a clan teaming up against others messing up the odds some sort of random que could fix that but I know I would greatly enjoy playing with one friend. The one thing about this minigame is it feels more like a separate thing to play than the game its self much like deadman mode if our in game skills and money has no effect on the minigame which honestly im not sure if its a good thing or bad thing. To try and sum up we already have a fight pit? but hey go for it sounds alright definitely needs some tweaking I would definitely like to see improvement on the dead content in the game instead of throwing more.
