I played Bounty hunter for a bit & I was never a fan of it. I don't want it in old school at all. I've pked a bit in old school and I think the way to get Pking hot again would be to release the old wildy without pvp worlds. Everyone has always wanted old wilderness and 07 brought PvP worlds back in and now the actual wilderness is deserted because all of the pking takes place in Camelot or Varrock PvP. This isn't the good old school pking people used to love. Pking all across the wild in world 18 was my favorite; not this, and especially not Bounty Hunter.

PLEASE READ : I think the best way to re-implament the mechanics of Bounty Hunter back into the wilderness would be through Bounty Hunter Worlds . Player would spend time in the wilderness and gain target potential while carrying a reasonable risk, thus forcing players to exercise all parts of the wilderness instead of congregating around a crater. By requiring players to stay in a hot zone to gain target potential, players will spend time killing the new wildy bosses or spend time fishing, or collecting resources, or even just fighting random players. The point I'm trying to make here is that if you (JAGEX) implement the Bounty Hunter crater, the community will be going backwards, the player in OSRS don't want new content, they want content that enhances the aspects of the game that everyone originally fell in love with. Going full circle in my plea for Bounty Hunter Worlds , what really made me fall in love with pkng (and really RS as a whole) from 09-11 was the sense of community in the pk worlds (W18) that was nurtured by spending countless hours in the wilderness waiting for targets and fighting off random pkers. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope my feedback was of any help.

Original message details are unavailable.

Also, creating an incentive for players to take part in Bounty Hunter is something that is quite difficult. Adding coins or items for kills (as BH worlds used to work) is simply not an option, it would have too much of an impact on the economy. Adding new items becomes an issue when the possibility of players farming the loots between each other crops up.

That means BH worlds are out of the question. End of discussion.
Can't wait for craters.

Craters should be brought back in as they were originally put into the game. They were a lot of fun and have potential for great rewards. Have them be just like they were: 1v1 unless you have a target, who may also attack.

NO.

When people talk about "Bounty Hunter" They are talking about the one RIGHT after the craters.

Craters were absolutely horrid, and a statute of how Jagex took the wild from us in the first place.

Introducing this into the game, would be a slap in the face to anyone that went through that.

How about a mix between an enclosed area and the beautiful landscape of the wilderness? BH portal(s), with some sort of differentials, based on combat, skill, risk, or depth of the wild. Portal then teleports said user to an area in Wild, say Bandits, GDZ, Mage Bank or Maze; based on the above.

With the right reward system this would draw people who pk less frequenty into the Wilderness. As well as keeping pking to the WILD and pvp worlds.

My honest opinion

I absolutely do not like bounty hunter mechanics (either of them) I would much rather pk in an active everyday wilderness where people are on at all times. However not enough people play to make wilderness feel active especially in multy pk its absolutely dead. I do think something like bh might be more appropriate for the player base we have as it encourages more people to be there and all in one place. i would like to see bh worlds over craters.

much rather u get a good recruitment team and build oldschools player base tho ;)
