Damn this is getting so much hate..... I love the idea because it gives another activity where you interact with other players instead of updates that have you go do something alone (obviously mm2 was solo, but quest updates are different and still interact with community). Skills won't pass, a quest was just added and they preparing for raids. I'm glad to see a fresh idea for PvP.

With Castle Wars and Fight Pits being nowhere near as popular as they used to be since people try to be efficient with their time, this would give some incentive to actually do something which gives no exp because you can profit and enjoy some PvP that is balanced and fair.

Increased entry fee games would give more incentive for high level players to participate. Ultimately, 100k is pocket change for high level players, so offering additional games with 1M entry fee should be considered. Achieved 2277 total on August 5th 2014.

Agreed. I think there should be an easy, medium and hard level (different names, those are just easy to explain). The easy would be 10k buy in for low lvls, 100k is medium for most players and the high will be 1m or so for players that have lots of money and want to try to win big.

That would make it appealling for all players because even if the stats will all be the same, the money we actually own won't be. This will help deal with that issue IMO

This looks like fun! I like that it's a gold sink, and could potentially be good for publicity; a streamable event.

Perhaps add some cosmetic rewards for playing/winning a certain amount of games? Maybe some for winning a certain amount in a row? The latter would definitely encourage people to return over and over to get that streak reward.

It will be fun, here are my concerns:

The minimap; it should be blacked out and you should have to seek players out. My suggestion to help with safe zones is an inventory item given to players (similar to the newcomer map) that opens a map interface displaying the safe area.

Teaming can become an issue very quickly; to combat this everyone should have the same character model and hiddne name [PLAYER19843] or something. It seems unavoidable in this mode with 25 players unless there is 1 world dedicated to this mode and it is fairly active and runs like Pest Control where the players are selected randomly.

Gear comparison/cap; I play H1Z1 quite often and in most situations a pistol can do just as much as an AR depending on player skill. This is not something that can easily be replicated in rs, a rune scim will do nothing against someone with barrage that's a fact. I don't know how you can fix this but I hope it is done well and I would recommend the Mods working on this to co-ordinate with players who play games like H1Z1, Arma, Rust, the Culling, etc. or giving it a try for themselves.

"25 players are placed on an island with maxed stats and no gear"

Why are their stats maxed? No wonder players like me never want to skill. There's never any skilling content that's worth training for other than some diaries.

The players want Stealing Creation, not this DMM type minigame. Please reconsider this as it will be dead content after a week.

I like the idea, I've always wanted a "survival games" mode for RS. Only change I would make is remove the "free tickets" and possibly just give whoever got 3rd 100-200k. Also, there should defnitely be more maps down the line.
