Bounty hunter is a mostly a chaotic dual arena. You are assigned a target with a chance of loot, but instead of being forced to stay on your target you can choose to take out any other player as well for a 3 minute penalty of escape. I really did not like the introduction of bounty hunter before EOC because it really crushed the rest of the wild. To me the best fit would to add a roman colosseum on the new continent where players could bounty hunt, and maybe even reattempt boss fights. But I don't see why bounty hunter needs to be in the wild? Just because it has PvP aspects doesn't mean it must be placed inside the wild. There are plenty of other placces in RS where you can PvP without entering the wild: dual arena, castle wars.. I vote the wild stays a close to what it was as possible because changing the wild/PKing is what pushed so many players (including myself and my friends) away in the first place.

I would definitely vote for craters, and not worlds. The reason being, I loved the bounty hunter craters system when it was released, and even though I sucked at it (I was like level 70 so I could only go into the 50-100 crater) I loved the aspects of it like the skulls showing risk, the penalty that didn't let you leave (essentially forcing a tank test) and other things about it that brought good memories (I especially remember running back and forth between the BH crater bank and the Clan Wars arena each time I wanted to change gear).

Bounty hunter worlds... oh boy, where to begin. 76k'ing was a terrible oversight and the way you could just AFK and get 100% EP easily was a joke. The fact it covered the entire wilderness didn't make it feel special compared to normal wilderness, except the fact you get free Dragon Full helms or Dragonfire shields for your kills on your friend. Once I remember killing a guy who was wearing full corrupt dragon (I pk'ed in f2p BH crater/worlds because I didn't have all the fancy top-end p2p gear) and I got like, 7 trout and a mith longsword. I wouldn't bother with bounty hunter worlds unless you want to add loads of rare items into the game.

@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.

Yeah, I've said that already in some of the responses I've done.

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
*Onu

For one, pvp worlds don't need to be removed. They may not be extremely popular, but they are a good idea. For two, I seriously doubt there's any chance of BOTH versions of Bounty Hunter coming back. The obvious better choice is Bounty Hunter worlds for many of the reasons I have already stated in previous posts/responses.

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 !

I love not being able to take what I've earned from pking!!! /sarcasm

You have no idea what Runescape is about.

This update isn't for the sake of nostalgia. Why is a forced tank test something that you want to deal with everytime you want to pk? If people abusing the EP system is everyone's only real problem with Bounty Hunter worlds then I'm sure Jagex will think of a solution to remedy that.

Also, for the hundredth time, there was no free trade back then, so EP was the only way you could get a drop. Now that free trade is back EP would mean ADDITIONAL loot along with whatever you pk off the person you kill. Don't act like that is something you wouldn't like.

Take a second to think about the situation with free trade back then. Take another second to think about the fact that there is no ban on free trade now.
