I should elaborate saying that teleporting to the place isn't the issue. The fact is that when the crater was added, it made a lot of things in the current wild (august 2007 build) crunched. Everything was shifted over to make room for this big pimple in the center of the wild. With the release of old school many players could enjoy the old feel of the wild without that big eye sore. ALSO when clan wars was introduced, they didn't put it in the wild for that same reason. It was just very big, had no use, and made the wild not fun.

So tldr; DO NOT add the physical bounty hunter craters in the wilderness. Put them either underground, or in a completely different location like clan wars.

how to solve it all

1, release bounty hunter crater and remove the pvp worlds it is way to big.

2, 3 entraces

low cb 50-80
med 81/110
high 111+


EVERYONE WHO ENTERS THE CRATER is skulled

you all have to bring 30k coins to enter the crater (to prevent 1 itemers)
Except is you risk 150K with protection prater you can enter the crater for free.


how to keep the fun in the crater ?

-if yoU kill someone you get a 3 minut no leave penalty
- the most valuable 3 items will remain item the other items will be converted to coins
(in that way there will be more money making methods etc, prises will rise )
- bring back the tp spell
- if you killsomeone you automaticly have a chance to get a pvp item (zuriel vesta morrigans and statius), or an artifact (remember that ancient statue?). in this way pures have a chance to profit too.

these are my thoughts feel free to comment .

This.

Original message details are unavailable.
So the major 'problem' that BH craters brings is splitting the community into thirds... PvP worlds hurt the PKing community big time, so you can only imagine what BH craters will do. Well instead of isolating it to its own community, why not integrate it within' both PvP systems?

Make BH craters like a 'Fight Club'. There'll be 2 locations (1 for the Wilderness & 1 for PvP worlds):
-Under the Bandit camp in the Wilderness.
-Under the bandit camp in the Desert or somewhere located in TzHaar for PvP worlds.
Instead of craters they'll have the 3 caverns that resemble the 3 original BH craters that we all remember.

__________
Scheduled PvP system:
Basically BH won't be open 100% of the time.
It should only be open for only 2 weeks every month.

Example:
-Wilderness BH caverns (under Bandit camp) - Only open every first week of the month.
-PvP world BH caverns - Only open every second week of the month.

This makes it so 2 weeks of BH and 2 weeks without it. Not only should this prevent splitting of the community into thirds completely, it should also give people a break from BH so they don't get burnt out on it so quickly as they'll have 2 weeks of a 'cool-down' so when it does open up again, the wilderness and/or PvP worlds should be flooded with new blood.

How does this not split the community again? Well it'll still split the communities, however the two will promote each other. The bandit camp will act as a mid-wilderness bank (for only the week it is open) boosting some activity there.
The PvP worlds version will have a similar effect on activity.

However make this a mandatory package with BH being polled , otherwise if you do it separately it won't pass. People will just say "I want to use Crater/Worlds whenever I want, nty." Not fully considering the consequences BH would have on PvP without a system like this.

Also if you want to add statuettes without adding gold into the game, just add an npc that buys and sells them for the same price.

If you want to add additional risk to your inventory, buy an ancient statuette from ____ npc for 1m, if someone pks you for that statuette they can sell it back to ____ npc for 1m. No money added to the game, just spread around.

Could add a way to show if a person is carrying a statuette too.

Player x is carrying an elite Armadyl statuette worth 5m in gold.
This would mainly be used for people who want to high risk fight.

Perhaps as well carrying these statuettes in BH for a certain amount of time gains BH points, which can be exchanged for something?

Perhaps instead of statuettes it should be a bag of gold over your back, that fits into your cape slot.

I have and always will be someone that focus mainly on Pk'n or PvP aspects of the game. It is what I most enjoy and I have been doing it since RSC.

That being said Bounty Hunter was the most fun, IMO, when it was introduced directly into the BH Worlds. This made Pking profitable, and worthwhile.

The Craters were fun, but the idea of being piled by a clan made it nearly impossible to enjoy.

Either way it is introduced, I am sure I will find myself at some point, but if the statue system or random drops from your target are not integrated in some fashion, it will be a pointless add on to the current PvP mechanics.

Can you guys stop focusing your time on these pointless PvP updates I mean there are already so many PvP updates already in the game. Not to mention how some are dead content and others lack a decent amount of people.

Focus your dev time on things like the new coninent, trading post, the game filter.
Runecrafting is like bacon.

having played through both versions, (crater & worlds).
i find the worlds alot more enjoyable.
HOWEVER.
i think, making another PvP world, and adding the bounty hunter mechanics to it
would be the best.

tracking someone down all over runescape would be fun ;3

No1 would miss the pvp worlds or the ragging that came with it.
Please listen the pvp worlds are nothing special at all atm
The most pvp pkers are people who enjoy to pk in rune and have a quick fight without looking around like people do in the wildy.
Now those people can go to edgeville and do the same and should not cry about pvp being removed.
There is no activity in pvp how it was in 2009 like you could find EP-ers to kill everywhere which was fun to do.
I think bounty hunter should come to the wilderness so someone like me can avoid raggers who hunt me all day.
If craters would come it will be a pain in the ass and i wont be able to pk at any time because alot of people enjoy to annoy me :(
Now i think bounty hunter could be the biggest pk update so far only if you remove the pking in the wilderness as it is.
You can remove pking from all worlds but still have 1-4 pking worlds like how it was and make it so you can still get the loot what they wear as in old wilderness and also get a good reward from your targets.
People cant complain and say rip wildy because its just the same but more active and easier for people to find other players to kill.
I would say just remove pvp worlds because theres nothing special about them and it made the wilderness die.
Everyone voted for pvp in the first place because they wanted how it was in 2009 and the wilderness was dying already because it got a bit inactive.
THINK BEFORE YOU LET PEOPLE VOTE ABOUT CRATERS THAT MOST PEOPLE WANT IT BECAUSE THEY CAN GET A QUICK FIGHT WHICH CAN ALSO TAKE PLACE IN EDGEVILLE WILDERNESS.

**** ON ALL RAGGERS WHO ENJOY TO RAG :)
