Craters didn't make players quit, if anything it helped runescape survive during that crucial period. If I remember correctly most high level pkers stayed and made bh content, removal of free trade and the wilderness is what caused players to quit. I'm sure if they didn't remove free trade and wildy, and only added the craters it would have attract more of the experience players than wilderness did. If anything remove PVP worlds and add craters exactly how they were. Pvp worlds doesn't feel old school. All we need is f2p and craters, and watch 07 grow drastically. who wants to pk wildy can go there and who wants to go to craters can go there. There is absolutely no reason to NOT ADD craters. We already have wild, we don't need wilderness with a 2010 spin on it. Just give it a try guys I'm sure you'll enjoy the craters, if you pk for profit. If you're a zerk or dh pking edge will be always be the place to pk. Pvp worlds got to go for sure tho.

IF Bounty Hunter worlds were to come back (I hope they implement the craters, but still), then maybe consider the following:

- DO NOT change the drop system to an EP system. Most PKers like to receive their opponents gear as a drop, and standing 30 minutes inside the Wilderness in order to get a decent drop adds nothing to PKing.
- However, an EP system could work for targets. Maybe have some sort of "potential counter", which adds a point for every non-target that you kill that risks 76k+ (26k+ on f2p worlds) . Killing a target could then generate a bonus drop (brawlers?), with the stored EP as a multiplier to the drop chance. This way, you still have the thrill of killing a target, but there is no waiting time involved to pk.

Please do not bring back craters as Bounty Hunting. It was so terrible, a lot of pkers quit the game there and then a lot of my friends included. The impact of it was zilch, it just give people a reason to team up on you I much prefer the 1v1 method to pking myself, clan wars is for all that teaming up malarkey. Even when you killed someone in the craters waiting 10 minutes to get out was so unfair when you don't have any food to stock up on, it was a guaranteed death.

However, I approve of bringing back targets in the wilderness as that gave people the will to want to fight you rather than not wanting to fight for hardly any loot****; pures.

JUST A BIG NEVER TO BRINGING BACK THE CRATERS. TBD x
