What you must understand, if you love this game, is that it is dying. An easy way to fix this is to bring back the majority of players who have quit (pvpers). There are loads of proposed awards for skillers.

Original message details are unavailable.
Before my response is met with any negativity or flaming, know that I want PVP to get updates that are engaging and sustainable. PVP has been and is a major aspect of the game, and should be going forward. That being said, I perceive detrimental flaws in this outline to revive the wilderness.

Most glaring is the assumption that reviving the wilderness demands incentives for people who don't want to participate in PVP to enter the wilderness. The alternative should be an update that encourages people who do enjoy PVP (but choose not to because of its current state) to re-enter the wilderness in concentrated areas to meet others interested in PVP. In essence, this proposed update will convert skillers and bossers who wish to make use of the new content into cash cows for the disgruntled PVPers who bank no loot after using an inventory of supplies. I fail to see how skillers and PVMers need to be held responsible in the form of designing them to be victims with a competitive disadvantage (as they focus inventories and gear toward their respective activities).

Aside from my disagreement with the premise of the update, I'm disappointed in many of the proposed changes. In particular, I was looking forward to the implementation of the dragon pickaxe , but had hoped it would be released another way, rather than a hasty addition to arbitrary drop tables without any appreciable or discernible lore accompanying it. The proposed range and mage shields from demi-bosses that are weak to specific combat styles reeks too much of EoC for my taste. Other proposals like the Fountain of Rune are so useless in their current state they will immediately be dead content.

Any game experiences declining traffic without updates. However, the "dying game" rebuttal is exactly what people said in defense of EoC. :|

I'm not against updates, in fact I think the Old School Mods have been doing a remarkable job, but as I stated in my previous post, there are better ways to accomplish the goal.

100% support for this update sounds very promising!!!!

only thing i can suggest is maybe rethink the rune obelisk idea i don't see how this would be appealing to many people as actions like alching etc are usually done for the xp and not profit gain so could possibly be dead content soon after release.

everything else sounds great! i also like that the new shields you are proposing shouldn't really impact on the current high level shields eg crystal/dragon sq/dfs and offers something tipped towards mage/range for once.

i know i myself will definitely have a crack at trying to get a d pickaxe

ps. to all you haters out there about this proposed update saying its not 07 rah rah rah, get a grip.

obviously the way things are at the moment aren't working very well in the pvp department so you need to be open to change no matter how big or small. how can you expect more new players to come into a game that doesn't receive new content. otherwise have fun playing a game by yourselves

You really need to read the update before posting foolish things. It clearly says they will be adding a lever in edgeville which will teleport you to the demonic ruins. Run down 5 levels, glory teleport to edge to bank, lever back to spot....

You can run 5 lvls down and glory tele out and then tele to the demonic ruins and run about 10 seconds to get back to fishing spot. More running than if you were to fish at catherby but it isn't that much.

You need 90 magic and ancients to teleport to the demonic ruins which I imagine will be rare for someone whos fishing - fishings just not that great a cash skill and there's a cap to the price of fish, no pker is gonna shell out 5k for +2 healing (or at least not to many will) meaning it will likely be 2k or so at best I think. Add that up with what I've already said, and I see this as more dead content then anything else with its current location and issues.

(Note that the out is actually going to be the easy part of the trip).

I'm timing myself from varrock to and back. I stopped while I "fished" (recharged run).

Oh man.. this is just epic news!

Personally i loved the reverants.. And to make wilderness even more dangerous, i would love to see some wandering around agressively in a way they could surpise you at a bad moment :) Say, you have just escaped from Pker and have no food left, and you know you are not safe yet, because you have to pass a reverant area "which everyone avoids".

As for loots, I would love to see big variety of trash items and some very rare expensive ones (depending on the level of said reverant). This way you would have to hunt the hunters, and killing reverants would still be very rewarding you happened to loot such an item from them.
