I think there should be a new boss. This is because with bosses comes new pk items and with more pkers comes more skillers to make money from skills such as gathering food to sell. My idea is that we get a new boss called the "ancient beast". It could be a huge dark beast like monster with violent fangs and must be easy to access. It will be kind of like the new corp. beast in the fact that it will be very high level and yet easy to find. It should have incredible drops such as a "dragon staff" or the highly sought after "ancient effigy" that will give a HUGE amount of experience points apon your highest combat-related skill (excluding slayer and prayer). Perhaps it could drop a cosmetic item too such as an ancient head to be mounted on the walls of your player owned house. It should drop ancient bones on death as a 100% drop that provides 1000xp in prayer if buried whilst fighting the boss. It should be in a lair perhaps below canafis or further below the Tzhaar city. Maybe even where the Zaros door is in the god wars dungeon for RS3. Players would need a reason to go there for profit so perhaps a new armour set for rangers, as yets admit it, black dragonhide doesn't really provide much of a defence against the majority of the bosses in the game.

First off let me say that you guys are doing a great job with old school r.s.
. From a decently
long time player
, since before lunars and fletch,The quality of life updates keep coming and you guys are still able to put out new content?
Of course because your just that awesome.
As long as this isn't going to affect the long term rate of how quick we are getting our quality of life stuff back I think a mini game would be the easiest thing to put into the game aside from a recolor for a boss with no new items or bringing items in that we had pre eoc, as a pvp'er myself I like the idea's for pvp worlds to entice people into playing on the pvp servers w/ the mini-tasks and xp boost, rlly tho I wouldn't mind hunting down alchers and getting like a ton of nats from killing them it'd b like a scavenger hunt like where r they hiding and like maybe just lower the exp boost on alching but not take it away because u could hunt them and the people hunting them would get farther away from the bank and maybe stray into multi and it would b cool. As far as the update goes though a "safe" PvP mini-game with exp rewards would be awesome, i'm sure people have posted plenty of great ideas, I know everyone wants new items but you have to be careful with that kind of stuff we don't even know if the new cbow or staff r gonna need tweaks. Unless its getting something back we already had and worked in the game but hasn't be put back into eoc yet. Ik a lot of people miss soul wars so that'd be sweet.
Something like smoking kills for slayer
ik alot of guys that would really appreciate it as it is a big quality of life thing for em'. And mb like a recolor or new mob/ dung would be awesome, mb put it in the wilderness so ppl can fight. But whatever you pick something that provides
A QUALITY OF LIFE
kind of deal with it would go the longest way I think. I feel that this will
ALWAYS
be the case

Jousting Mini game:

First off knights were nobles..this game is based on the druid period. What knight doesnt have a horse? That being said ...no I do not want horses running all over osrs however this is the idea:

The mini game would be much like pop...only allows xp gains and content to be done occasionally as not to over power any skill.

The play starts off in an instance setting where one has to make a rope or briddle using crafting smithing skill to catch a horse using agility/hunting skill.

The next part is the fun part in which once you have said horse in hand a place where all players can train agility by breaking your now wild stallion or mare. You can view others getting thrown trying to successfully tame their wild horse.

Next you have to care for your new mount by building a barn and paddock using construction, feeding it using farm/cook and making the next level of stuff to acually ride this thing....saddles tack boots..using crafting/smith skill.

Finally after all the training and gearing of said horse you can now enter the jousting tournament! This should give combat xp. Also a few times of year having an tournment to find out who is #1 in all of rs.

I tried to put in as many skills as possible as to balance this mini game for all players and giving some pvp action as well.

Hope you like the idea and can make this a reality.

Just a note to everyone: STOP asking for Pre EoC content. The argument that it is safer to add Pre EoC content because you already know the consequences is poor, when much of the content added between 2008 and 2012 was detrimental to the health and integrity of the game itself (Examples include GE, Gravestones, CommunistShare, Summoning making the game too easy, etc). If new content is unbalanced, it can ALWAYS be re-adjusted later on, so this argument is completely irrelevant in the long-term.

The Jagex Mods aren't interested in programming the same or similar content as before. I can just imagine how boring and unfulfilling it would feel to spend hours reprogramming content that was already done. GWD was an exception because they already had most of it and even many of the veterans liked GWD, plus it was more balanced than the original due to the new Magic and Ranged weapons. The goal here is to add OSRS exclusive content (to make it its OWN game and not the 2008+ unbalanced crap).

Thanks for listening, and remember, MANY of us DON'T want Pre-EoC. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

Here is my idea: How about a zombie survival in the castle of frankenstrain, you would need to repair the windows with wooden barricades and if the zombies broke through you would have defences inside of the castle to try and clean out the zombie horde, every wave would be harder but don't worry because you will get to make new defences for outside of the castle like pitfalls and spike or dart traps. Different modes to select from novice > hard mode will keep it interesting, and even having a leaderboards so people can see who is leading the waves. rangers would range the back end of the horde of zombies from the second floors, mages will freeze the zombies and maybe have access to healing spells that you unlock at a certain wave? melee would obviously be in the brunt of the battle, defending the windows incase of a break in. skillers will also take part in this as they will need to fish for food and make armour, or how about you start with nothing and need to make armour fish for food, farm for potions. there is a endless amount of things you can add to this. new spells? new potions? new weapons? THE IDEAS
