Again, never seizes to amaze me, the slippery slopes you guys provide. First things first, the thing that made Runescape unique was that there was never really a "class". In fact, you could use all three styles how you deemed fit. Second, if you read the mod post a couple pages back, they said it doesn't have to be EXACTLY as it is now which means they could add mage/range items to properly balance within the triangle.

An example would be instead of adding 4 godswords, they could split it into different weapons like an Armadyl Bow, Zamorak & Saradomin Staff, or a Bandos Mace (need something to crush mithril dragons pl0x). All bosses would have the chance at dropping a plain hilt (Godsword Hilt), with the sword shards, to make the weapon. Make up a special attack that deals 150% more damage (anchor does 100% more damage and decreases stats by 1% of what is dealt - 50% drain), increase the stat requirements needed to wield, and there you go.

HERE is a suggestion that they could go about instead of throwing what if situations like 1/4 of the population usually does. What's funny is people claim that Jagex ruined the game, but in reality, it's the community. Maybe instead of jumping the gun and assuming the worst, you guys should think about it at a neutral perspective first.

I think that extremely rare colors of equipment would be very stimulating to the old schOol economy.


We need to be very careful considering op gear so soon. We still haven't seen a lot of gear reach it's peak in the market. If items like god swords get released to early, we will nvr see items like Abby whip ever recieve the attention that they deserve.

In August 10, 2007, herbs were grimy and clean. People complained, without a poll, and herbs were made unidentified again. Now, there was a poll to make them grimy/clean again, but it required 75% support. It only got 52%, but that means that only 48% of the people want herbs to be unidentified. Shouldnt the original poll have been: "Herbs to be unidentified" and it would have gotten 48% support. Therefore herbs should become grimy/clean once again, that saves the community from a lot of scamming that is involved with the low level herbs for example.

Looks good, nice to have you keeping in good contact with us.

Not liking the future possible updates though, GWD is a definite No. Quests would be lovely to have though.

We didn't even have a third of eligible voters submit a vote. We could say that maybe ppl didn't vote because the polls were in their favor, or you could say grimmys would have been more popular. The truth is in the end. It's all just useless speculation.

No, because what is being polled is whether or not the situation should be different from how it was in 2007. Which is also why the poll on f2p pking is completely wrong. That feature existed in 2007, so the poll should be about removing it or not.

The path-finding update would be a very welcome improvement, even if it takes a lot of work. Currently you can get Jad around a corner and flinch him for 20 minutes for a fire cape. The running backwards is annoying as well, because in the 07 run energy system it really does take a toll on energy.

Now as for the God Wars Dungeon... Personally I would love to see this back in the game. It would infinitely improve the available PvM in the game, as well as introduce popular items such as dragon boots and bandos/armadyl armor. A lot of the controversy of the GWD is on the Godswords, especially the Armadyl Godsword in PvP. It is true, the AGS has a devastating special attack, but without turmoil it isn't all that much more devastating than a dragon dagger (not to mention G maul), but costs an insane amount more. A whip also easily has better average DPS than a Godsword, so they wouldn't really be all that OP. They would also be extremely rare and expensive, as without turmoil, Soul Split, Overloads or summoning the God Wars Dungeon bosses really are a force to be reckoned with. This high requirement high reward gameplay would appease the end-game players, as currently there isn't much else for them out there. There would be nothing more satisfying than receiving an Armadyl hilt in old school RS, considering the challenge Kree would be.

Personally, I would enjoy all of those updates, obviously content is needed in such a game.

For all of those who think a lot of things shouldn't be added, (GWD for example) what are you going to do once you reach max stats? Sit there with all of your capes and dragon? No new skills to train for anyone? What is the point of logging in? Nothing like EoC needs to be added to the game though...

Lets be honest, if they brought back 2008 Runescape I think all of you reading this right now would still be playing...Yes, they brought back 2007 Runescape, BUT they clearly try to add content for us to keep the game going...75% for something to pass is just dumb.
