the best thing would be old bounty worlds with the ep system brawling gloves etc and get rid of pvp worlds they are filled with raggers etc add in the old armor and weapons statutets etc... zuriel vesta etc would make the game actually fun

Whats the point? Any new PvP ideas are great and we welcome them, however the community is going to be split between Rs3, legacy mode and OSRS. There are currently PvP worlds and the wildy in OSRS, both have a small number of active players and F2P PvP is becoming non existent. Work on releasing F2P and advertising to gain more players and you wont have to update OSRS it will maintain its self.

P.S - There are a lot of bored people on Facebook playing candy crush and farmville why couldn't OSRS be one of those games?

People loved Bounty Hunter because it forced everyone together, in the current worlds people can be spread out all over runescape, in many different areas, which sometimes makes it difficult to find lots of targets, Bounty Hunter puts them all in the same area, gives a teleport spell and encourages people to go after their target because of the penalty, or to go in huge groups which increases clan activity and community. I remember being so mad when Bounty Hunter first came out, I think that if it were to be released now, just as it was, would be a huge mistake and would disrupt much of the pking activities, many people will find it much more appealing to be able to teleport right to their target, then combing the wilderness for people with acceptable loot*
**;dr bounty hunter condenses everyone, makes loot easier to get.

Suggestions for improvements, I think it would be awesome if there were different landscapes to play in, it got rather boring with the same crater like desolation that was the previous Bounty Hunter, I don't care what but it would be nice if the different leveled arenas were themed different, like hunter, wooded forest - sandy desert - and then maybe lava field for higher levels. anyways, keep up the good work. I love osrs.

if this coming out im done with this game im sick and tired realy -.-
jagex i think u shud better focus on bringing f2p to this game so more ppl can come into the game itll only benefit to the game plus alot of old people will be bac
and remove the pvp worlds cos it separates the pking community
this game still has a chance to be full of players again i believe
but if u jagex make the wrong choices it will die soon and ther gana be nothin left to do

I noticed a lot of people saying that people could abuse the ep system on bh worlds but is it really that bad?

What exactly is bad about it other than it is being used in a way that wasn't intended? A lot of parts of the game aren't used as they were intended but I don't think that is a huge problem or a reason to not include it.

Like is people using it as a money making method going to ruin the economy? No as long as jagex takes out drops like dragon full helm and dfs and other monster specific drops that were in the original bh worlds and adds a gold sink or changes rewards from statuettes.

I enjoyed Bounty hunter worlds with all EP% system and drops, there were many people and always someone to fight. I would love to see that part to come back in the game with similar drop system, just reminds me of good times.

No support. And besides, why add a pking mini game which takes up a huge chunk of space in the wilderness when the wilderness is already a pvp environment? Bounty hunter was added in the original game as a substitute to the wilderness when it was taken out so that defeats it's purpose. And adding this mini game would also make the pking community more separated than it already is.

I'm all for BH Craters. Personally, I would switch out PVP worlds for BH Craters. All people really do in PvP worlds is sit 5 feet from the bank door and rush/rag. Getting rid of PvP worlds and introducing BH Craters (with a risk requirement to enter the craters) would be doing the game a great service. That way we can eliminate the 1 iteming raggers/rushers.

Lol if you think rushing is bad in pvp worlds, when you entered and exited crater it restored your spec so there were rushers at almost every entrance inside the crater and if you left the entrances there were clans in the center. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max
