With the mention of a big slayer project, is there any hope for a Slayer Helmet?? Would LOVE to see this added to the game.
Still a big question mark over what graphic we'd use for it, but I can imagine it going down well.

@Mod Ash, you don't think a Ovl with supers att/stre/def and normal range/mage would pass? I could definitely see that passing with a 96 herb requirement and un-tradeable!
I recall massive complaints and nerfing when the overload first got released in the Extreme Potions update. Maybe the community here feels differently, though...

Or we could offer a less powerful one if we come to do a skilling update later in the year.
I've made a thread about it, out of 23 people 19-20 wanted this potion to be added into game.

What would happen if someone goes in the bank/a safe zone during a task? should be cancelled imo just to add some risk to it otherwise people will camp safe areas
Well, they wouldn't be able to complete a task without leaving the safe area, so there'd be some risk nevertheless, but that could be done.

Teleporting might need to abort the task, of course.

Also just to add onto this idea, instead of maybe having you speak to an npc there could be tasks where you need to dig at the members gate to find your box etc, kind of like a mini cluescroll
Nothing too cryptic, but sure.

I think all of this is great news besides a few things:

1. Isn't it possible to get the original models of the armors? They came out well before rune-tek 5 and if you are getting godwars models then surely you can get the corrupt armor models

2. Where is clan wars? did that whole update get forgotten? clans pure and main need it to maintain an active and more fun clanning world

Nice thread. I noticed a mistake, though. According to what you put for the OSRS current bank options, the Withdraw-25 and Withdraw-X are already below Withdraw-All. Shouldn't the question be Withdraw-All moved below Withdraw-X? or Withdraw-X moved above Withdraw-All?

Some people are suggesting a couple of worlds with no updates. I propose re-opening Classic to sate them.

This would be great for clans, however, I feel with GWD coming out in the next weeks, PvP items are already getting overpowered. Coming from a PKer like myself, I feel that PK Worlds would become even more inactive than it already is.

If I'm correct, you lose your void/fcape/torso on death in PvP Worlds - would we be able to poll these items could not be dropped on death? Seems like too much effort to get another 850 points just for dying.

Finally, I really hope you make extra PvP Worlds so Old School players, like myself, can still use the wilderness we all know and love. I feel if PvP goes mainstream on PKing Worlds it might lose us even more players.

I am clearly against the idea of PvP as it goes against the whole 'Old School experience'. The Real Ranqe of Old School RuneScape

How about a safe zone limit? If somebody enters a safezone and/or teleports X amount of times the box crumbles to nothing.

Regarding drops in PvP worlds

I think it would be very beneficial to implement a Points system in PvP worlds, points are gained on kills, possibly lost on deaths (not entirely sold there though), and can be spent on items. As a tradeoff, some items (selected at random) dropped by the killed player will be removed from the game permanently.

This serves one very simple and very useful purpose, it lowers the supply of many PKing related items, thereby increasing the demand and keeping prices from dropping to alch value, as happened to most gear in the lead up to EoC.
Many may not like this on a personal level, we all like our loot, but in the long run it helps everyone, future kills will be more valuable as a result.

As for the rewards from these points, honestly i haven't got a clue. I was thinking PKing supplies, Sharks, potions, etc, but that kinda screws over skillers. Perhaps XP or degreadable equipment?

Runetek 5 isn't the issue.

Jagex, for reasons that I honestly do not know, seems to have no archives of the RuneScape data from between August 2007 and sometime in 2012.
In August 2007, GWD was nearly complete and ready for launch, so we've got its models in 2007-format.
However, the PvP world armour didn't get made until well after August 2007, so we don't have those models.
By the time records begin again in 2012, the models were not in 2007-format, so we can't use those.

Thus we can give you GWD but not re-create all the other models that came in the years after 2007.

We ran a big survey inviting people to choose our next two big projects. GWD won, PvP worlds came a distant second, and Clan Wars trailed in third place. But it could definitely be polled in future.
