No craters please. I'd love it if you could toggle participating in the bounty hunter/hunter system. Having bounty hunter in all of wild would give people reasons to be in more than just a small section of the wild so that they can avoid their hunter.

I loved the very first implementation of BH in the craters. Back when it was free for all.

Basically you figured out what team cape was the most numerous in the cave and you got that cape, and then you ganged up on anyone without that cape. Forget about finding your target.

And watch out for those who would backstab their own team members. In that implementation, you didn't take anything too valuable into the cave, and you hardly got any gains either because if you ever got silver skulled, you would be ganged up on by everyone. But boy it was fun playing it with a lvl50 pure.

They changed the rules later and hosed it all up, but it was fun while it lasted.

My suggestions:

-Do the bounty hunter wilderness (not craters) so that it doesn't take pkers from the existing wilderness.
-Add some kind of ep system that works ONLY when killing a target who is risking a set amount (by making it only work with your target, you would take away the risk of people doing the 26k/76k trick).
-Give this EP system some unique drops *cough* Vesta *cough*

I believe you should make it like it was in 2009. just edgeville and the wild are part of the world. Add in the awesome corrupt armor and weapons again. So PKing can become very profitable again. Not just hand fulls of rune armor. Same basic things like, EP and targets. Highscores should be updated to see our ranks in target kills and rouge kills. Bounty hunter was nice in the crater, but there was so many loopholes and unbalanced power to the victor of the fight. We shouldn't be penalized for winning.
So should be the exact same update at the 2009 wild update. I think that would make everyone happy, also while not messing with any other PK'ing that might be done.


revision: to all the people asking for grand exchange, it will not happen so please stop asking. Its more likely there will be a auction house type of system that is exactly like zyb forums. Just in game. So sorry to shoot you down, but GE will never exist in old school. Not all change is for the better.

Here's what you do:

Add a BH master, enable BH target system on high population worlds only to discourage boosting.

Killing your bounty nets you points, 5, 10, 15, 50, 100, etc kill streaks earn you bonus points.

You can spend these points in a NMZ type shop that can be used to imbue certain items with PvP only effects, buy special PKing gear and/or supplies, etc.


Pretty simple. It won't take away from Wildy/PvP worlds, it'll greatly add to it.

Why not add an optional bounty hunter system to one of the already existing pvp worlds. Have an npc to speak with in order to gain access to the bounty hunter system. Have the npc located in the heavily trafficked banks around the world. Anyone who chooses to participate can then be assigned a/as target. For every 3 kills a player who is participating gets without being defeated themselves another hunter can be assigned their name as a target. maxing out at 3 people hunting 1 target. Now you might think what is the incentive to participate in the bounty hunter? or why would i want to be hunted?Have one of the old pvp items dropped in the original bounty hunter world dropped randomly with each kill as added bonus for killing your target. allow the normal drop of your opponents equipment and inventory other than thee protected items or all if your target is skulled. plus only one of the pvp items. I would like to see pvp armour and weapons such as vesta's and statius' added to the game as content from these drops. With a very rare drop rate of course. Just a thought on way to add it without disrupting the current pvp community. I feel like if it was added as mini game style content that involves pvp combat with the same high risk high reward old as the wilderness would expand the existing pvp community. Tweaks can be made this is just my first rough thought on the idea.

Bring back the BH worlds. The only part that have ever interessted me in RS was to pk, which is the only thing I have done in RS since 2006 (beside getting better stats for pking and untradeable gear ofc.). The BH worlds were all around the time in RS that i had the absolut most fun. :D

I see a lot of people in here coming with their opinion which is great, but quite a few of them writes that they aren't into the PVP part of RS. Don't listen to them if they dont have any interest in it. :@
