Thank you for the good communication with the players, nice to have a quality small development team.

The F2P PK worlds is much clearer now thanks to a more detailed explanation.

Looking forward to the next polls, especially the improved route finding. I seem to spend a lot of time running back and forward atm in order to actually get somewhere.

The login queue sounds like a good idea but could I get a bit more clarity on what it actually will do. Will there be a counter or the like to say where you are in the queue? Or will it be that you only need to log in once and then just wait until you are able to get into the world?

It would be nice to have the continuation of the two quest series - Zanick and Glouphrie - which I think came out at the end of 2007. Although I got 99 rc just before the ZMI altar, I don't mind this in game. It was no faster than abyssal runecrafting and because of the random runes made, didn't upset the rune market.

Thanks again for the info on the updates and polls.

Edit: Time for Myah to stop playing with the pretty posting colours now :P

Looks like there's a few things missing for the 2nd poll.. such as the small clan changes (purple dots for clan mates, green font for people in the same world) or the slayer gem "kills left" right click option.

Really? another poll for F2p pking? The only reason why we voted for old school Runescape is for the old school F2p pking. You seemed to be scared to offer an F2p world because you know that more than half of the players would end their subscription. Well you have achieved your dream of keeping everything members, and now you won't give us what we need? I would like to give Jagex some tips before its too late: Runescape started losing its value since the end of the wilderness in 2007. If you won't give back the F2p pking within a week or so, then count the amount of unsubscribes and you will know what I mean. Runescape used to be the #1 FREE TO PLAY game, and now it's time that Runescape gives out this title. WE WANT F2P PKING AND NOTHING ELSE.

It's never a good idea to support Pelea. Run now before it's too late.

ROFL

Pelea's idea within that post are absolutely worth supporting! (In my "mindless" (as I'm called) opinion).

Good opinions can come from any corner of the world... the worst people in the world can make awesome suggestions, and the best people in the world can make the most horrible suggestions.

Pelea's name isn't going to stop me from agreeing with a good suggestion. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

"In the next poll, we will ask about F2P worlds again. Even if you personally aren't a PKer, or are happy to PK on the existing members' worlds, you might have a view on the economical effects"

So when we VOTE and the vote doesn't pass your expectations you just keep having the vote over again until it passes?????

The players voted we don't want pk
ONLY
worlds, we want f2p worlds that benefit more than just pk'ers. F2p worlds introduce new players to the game, provide lower level skilling items, and most importantly I feel of those, RUNE ess, as member only worlds everyone will eventually get 30 mining and stop mining rune ess.

Without membership benefits while paying for those benefits why bother mining rune ess on pk worlds where your agility isn't working, and you can't use boots of lightness or hunter capes.

We voted, the vote did not pass I do not get why we are having yet another vote that is not how voting works! You don't keep having the same vote until it passes.

"As usual, we wouldn't add these if they didn't pass a poll with 75% support."

So why are we having yet another vote for f2p pking ONLY worlds then?

Makes no sense to have this policy and then go back on it.

You had all week to better explain and you waited until the poll ended.

f2p pking is great I am all for it on F2P worlds not member worlds as they will be nothing more than pk worlds don't call them f2p worlds because all they are going to be good for is pking. F2p is a vital support network to members, providing items and as stated RUNE ess. Low level rc is beneficial once you can get multiple crafts per ess but not at the cost of paying the more expensive PURE ess.

F2p actual worlds also draw in new players, I started up in 2006 (I actually played briefly in 2001) after I saw someone playing at the library at my college. I played f2p for nearly two months before finally deciding to become a member. I never would have given rs a seconds thought if it had been 100% membership from the get go with no way to test the waters and see if I liked the game or not.

Eoc has f2p worlds, we have to pay membership *o support eoc when we don't even like that game. They get the f2p worlds ensuring new players joining the game. I don't get why we don't get f2p worlds this version will eventually become stagnant like classic has become without a way to gain new players.

We get it. You want F2P worlds. That's currently not up for discussion. Vote yes for F2P pking now. Try and get F2P worlds later. One step at a time.

As for Rune / Pure essence, why can't we just go back to ONE type of essence?
