Not a good idea imo. Runescape lost a drastic amount of players when BH was brought in. The ones who PK enjoy how it is now, and the true pkers back in 2007 and 2008 mainly left because wilderness was taken away and BH was brought in. If you want to lose players Jagex, sure put BH in. If you want to keep your players, let it be and keep the regular wilderness in.

From what I've heard, a lot of the current Pkers actually want Bounty Hunter... But I could be wrong.

Aa s major fan of bounty hunter crater and worlds i personally would prefer to have the bounty hunter worlds back. I was very interested in the EPing and killing targs for better loots, but I know that many people consider the random drops as economy killers so to make sure that the economy isn't ruined and a possibility for a profitable since of pking pkers could receive random statuettes in drops that can be traded in for cash at edgeville bank. PKing is an expensive sport and everyone is guaranteed to die at some point. The statuettes could be a way for players to actually make a little bit of cashing doing what they love. Also I was a huge fan of brawlers, there are many attractions that were added to bring skillers into the wilderness and brawlers would add even more. However Old School never exactly copies items that were released into Runescape so a recreation of the brawlers into amulets would be a great consideration. Bounty hunter worlds in the wilderness could replace Edgeville pking and in my opinion will be a big attraction to the wilderness. The bounty hunter worlds released in 2009 were the most popular pking I have ever seen in my years of playing RS. By 2010 the worlds were usually always full. So my vote goes directly towards the bounty hunter worlds in the wilderness and thi iss some more ideas that I have had.

Step 2. Add in BH aspect to wilderness on all worlds.

Terrible idea.

Why? Is it spreading out the BH population or making wildy harder? Proud 28%er

I'd like to see bounty hunter added to the current PVP worlds, maybe with a toggle of some sort.

(In pvp worlds) Or we could add some sort of notice board that has bounties posted on it, clicking on the board will either put you up for someone to hunt you, or assign you a target of someone who has already clicked on it and have been waiting. They could receive a message saying "You are now being hunted!". whether we get a choice on who to select or if it will be fully automatic can be up for debate.

False statement. The Bounty Hunter worlds brought everyone who enjoyed pking into the wilderness in limited worlds making it easy to receive targets and find fights in the low levels of the wilderness. The pkers and skillers using PvP related skill boosting items were also all in limited worlds which made deep wildy even popular. Most** the people didn't leave because of the release of Bounty Hunter. The people left because of the change of the drop system. People weren't happy when they smited a whip or killed someone in full Dharok's and only received a random drop of maybe 300k. That's why the Bounty Hunter could be released in the wilderness but not change the drop system, instead just alter it where it is still items lost on deaths and a chance of brawler relating items or a random statuette that can be traded in for cash at edgeville.

BH is best in a small regulated area. Back in the wilderness BH days, 90% of those playing BH were strictly in Edgeville. I also think it should be an event instead of permanent content to avoid splitting communities or interfering with a community entirely.

Like this. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.
