Dev Blog: Rejuvenate the wildy
Quick find code: 380-381-35-65435515
Hey, what if we had a wilderness wall with guard npcs posted around gates at all the major settlements along the border?
Whilst I think all the gameplay additions are great, it would be good to tie in some atmospheric/aesthetic upgrades.
It always seemed pretty stupid that the wilderness is this ravaged, unholy ground of dangerous creatures, which is feared by Runescape citizens, yet, despite the apparent fondness for wall building amongst the npc populace, only a metre wide ditch has been dug to keep the nasties out.
I think this would be cool also, as it would cause pkers to gather around these exits. Perhaps we could even have agility shortcuts spaced along the wall as a reward for one of the most tedious skills in the game?

They are thinking of removing the ditch, not add more obstacles. I still don't see the point of removing it though. I don't think Pkers are gonna be like "omg no wilderness ditch anymore now I can finally enjoy pking!" The only thing that I foresee happening by removing it is noobs getting lured to their death. Or trading someone then running into the wild. So yeah.. No vote for removing the ditch for me. Unless someone can convince me to vote otherwise.

1. PLEASE JAGEX, DO NOT CALL THAT BAG A "SWAG BAG". "Swag" is debated amoung alot of people in real life, and it seems just a foolish word/item to introduce as a piece of runescape history. It totally disrupts the medieval/old feeling runescape presents with some sort of hip 2014 swag weirdness.
2. DON'T give in to those arguing about pking with discontinued items and I will tell you why. If there worried about losing things when they pk, GO TO THE DUEL ARENA AND FRIENDLY FIGHT ALL DAY AND NIGHT. GO HAVE FUN IN THE "UPCOMING" CLAN WARS ON SAFE MODE. But the wilderness is not the place for non-risk "pking". We want drops, we want risk. We don't want to comprimise that basis for a few who already have what they want; a non-risk area to fight (duel arena friendly, safe mode clan wars, etc.).
3.Everything else seems rejuvinating good job
