I'm all for having a decent in game map. My vote will be yes, ofc.

But... Shouldn't the poll for the map be voted on BEFORE substantial development time be spent on it? I thought that was the whole idea of the polls, so that dev time isn't wasted on something that does not get voted in? I've seen this happen more than once now. Dev blogs go up showing a lot of time spent on a project BEFORE it is actually voted on. This needs to change imo.

The main polls are always very unlikely to be voted out and are only there to give the illusion of player input. If it fails they will do what they always do, release it later when their player base of medicated teenagers forget about it a month later or change the wording of the poll.

Mini map - Supported, long overdue (Very nice that you have worked on this)

Rune Pouch Fast empy - Supported (Nice Detail, noone needs to fast drop a pouch)

Castle Wars boost - SUPPORT!!! The game is fun and should be rewarded like this.

It is not O.k i see a lot of people whining about the hours they spent but guys, the game

changes alot of people 6hr afked, splashed what about obby pures who trained 99 str at

regular rock crabs. GAME Changes and i think we should be given the chance to poll the

Castle wars idea, because sadly this is a democracy and you are scared because u know its

going to pass.

CASTLE WARS PROBLEM SOLUTION:

Allow the people that earned rewards before update to exchange them for the new value of

tickets.

That way it will be the absolute same, if coders have a problem, allow 1 week for people to

exchange this or something. IF not simply add the update and its not sucha big deal.

It's really sad that it's looking like Jagex is going to kill the castle wars community in world 334.

If you go onto the major castle war clans forums, the current playerbase who makes up 60% of the active world is all switching to a invite only private server. Everyone's saying there's no reason to keep playing on the original severs, more so because they're constantly having to make money to buy runes/update gear and there's no reason to keep doing that and spending time outside of castle wars just so they have money to play the game when there's no incentive to play (major ticket nerf).

World 334 will have even more AFKers now. People will get their halos in a day or 2, leave, and probably only a small percentage of them will stay and play 24/7 like the current playerbase does. All of the current community will leave, and world 334 will be more dead than ever before.

I guess there's positives to it though. No one will cry about the stackers anymore and the casual player will be able to play with people very unskilled to the mechanics of the games like not having to deal with humidify glitchers / talented caders etc.

Yeah games need updates to survive but it seems like all OSRS gets are updates to make the game easier.

Hardly see any new quests, the most recent was a quest to make the game easier. I don't even mind the game getting easy but put a little effort in new updates to make the game fun. Add some actual content instead of inflating numbers.
