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.

There are a lot of reasons not to add craters. What we don't need are more 2007 spins on everything. This game needs to move forward to the time it was good before EoC.
Bounty Hunter worlds are also better for profit pking.

BH would be like this:

EP: extra potential 100% = better reward like before (1m-5m artifacts) ( vesta and those other items like brawler gloves)

Target: longer you stay in wildy the faster you get target.

Target= better drops if he/she carrying 70k+

Those BH times were the best days of runescape for me.

JaJa Legacy!!! :)

@Tru Khaoz: Remember that there was no free trade in the old Bounty Hunter worlds, so you wouldn't actually get what your target dropped. It was a matter of luck what you received.

DO NOT DARE put the old bounty hunter back into the game. Good idea but horrible execution.

IF you put "Bounty Hunter" back into the game at least do it like this.
Have a Npc located in edville. Players would recieves bounty equal to his current risk.
This player could be located anywhere in the wild.
If the bounty is sucessfully then the player is rewared with the other players items,
and possably a reward from the bounty master.

NO ******* BIG ASS VOLCANOss!!!!!!!

I like my bone yard very much.

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.

After reading all the comments I*ho opinion the best action to satisfy everyone would be. To remove pvp worlds and add BH worlds to increase wilderness activity and also add bh craters, because it looks 50/50. Just letting you guys know for the craters to be sucessful they have to come back exactly how they were. Same little guy carrying the bank, same music, same volcano the same tiers lv 3-55 (Low) Lv 50-100 (Med) lv 90+ (High).
I'd would advise anybody making the decision when voting to at-least do some research first to find out what you really want Rs wiki has an article on Bounty hunter (Historical) explaining everything in great detail and all your questions would be answered. Please do not make your judgments based on other players opinion but on what you think would be best to attract more players to our dwindling community. Thank you

Add bounty hunter craters, with one world only. BOUNTY HUNTER CRATERS COULD bring back players who have tosses OSRS aside, WHY? = BECAUSE the craters of bounty hunter formed an aspect of runescape that had never been experienced or enjoyed by anyone ever before. THE ABILITY TO GET REAL LOOTS, REAL KILLS, with no chance of escape. THAT, my friends, is what runescape is all about. I LOVED 3 MINUTE PENALTY !
