I have to say, I really enjoy how much weight you OSRS mods and devs put into player opinion. It makes OSRS that much more attractive.

Along that same vein, I'm unsure about how I feel regarding a Player Council. I'm not sure how it would be any better than the current polling system (which obviously it would not totally replace).

I guess I could see it helping actually get player content/update/bug-fix ideas to the mods in a better fashion than some one-off post on the forums.

If there was ever any doubt, it's gone. You guys are ******* awesome. You guys work hard for this game man and I respect you all so much. I want to shake each of your hands, ******* love you guys. ****!

Also, player council is brilliant. Indirect democracy is much stronger than direct. Let the educated people decide for the uneducated that they rightly represent(well hopefully they are the right people), because people vote stupidly, it's no secret that a lot of voters don't put genuine consideration into the impact of their votes.



Tldr/ Thanks guys, this is great!

Hopefully you can smooth out the edges of the game world with this landmass update, i hate seeing a giant black border near the hunter spot south of feldip hills, narduh, and morytania.

also, no student council please, the polls work just fine.

No! Don't bring in a new skill! Please! If you want a new skill brought in, put it in RS3, not in OSRS! It will really ruin OSRS. :@ This is the kind of stuff that is taking out the words 'Old School' from Old School Runescape. This isn't how many of us vets of RuneScape pictured OSRS to be. And most definitely DO NOT BRING IN GRAND EXCHANGE (GE) !!!

Bounty Hunter is the best thing ever ive missed it so much since it was taken out I really am hoping our community votes this through. Also I think BH should have a sort of item sink like you get coins what their items were worth then you also have the random loot like in old BH so it keeps it exciting and keeps items valuable.

MAJOR
priority would be making the screen bigger like others have mentioned it is just a pain trying to look so hard it would make my time much more enjoyable with just a resizable screen. Good work so far Thanks. P.S. Please don't make a council or new skill or 50% more terrain its already empty enough.

Bring in F2P.

The game is empty and new users are a must to see the game continue.
Things such as Trimmed armour from clue scrolls are worthless in the game due to a lack of demand and a lack of f2p. However nobody wants to pay to play a game they are unsure about.

I'd love to see more players on the game, higher demand for items like in the good old days. As i have found out by talking to the community, the players currently on the game are older, Runescape lacks the younger players as it is in such competition with other gaming devices such as Xbox and Playstation.

If it is at all possible, consider adding f2p, or even a trial month of f2p and see how the active numbers change on the game.

The bounty hunter update could be a great idea, if things were tweaked. The idea of not being able to leave and use protect item if you loot items off a non-target kill was silly, you saw people you wanted to fight but yet couldn't loot items as death after this was a certainty.

Hope the updates keep coming in, F2P IS NEEDED, thing about it and poll it to see what everyone else things about it.

Player council is just a joke of an idea, keep the polling system. Quit trying to weasel out of committing to the current polling system Jagex. No player is any more important than the other when it comes to the direction of the game.

I prefer to keep this game as old school as possible myself, that being said I have zero issues with people getting the minigames they want. I won't vote em down. I also won't vote down simple QOF issues, and I MAY be okay with a new quest.

But a new skill? I don't know. Why not focus on fixing the useless ones? Why not find a way to get some more value out of firemaking, or smithing or something? A new skill this early seems ridiculous but I guess I will at least give ideas the benefit of the doubt. Probably going to vote it down though.

What "trading solution" are they referring to? If we are planning to go back to trade limits I'm gone. Adios, never coming back. That was one of the worst decisions in RS history, next to ruining wildy and EOC. Can anybody elaborate to what they are referring to? Thanks

Seems to me Jagex, you guys need to focus less on your ambitious updates and focus more on fixing and improving the game you have. Player council is an absolutely horrible idea that we the community obviously agree can't happen.
