Thank you Mel Candy, someone can think about how this would effect the future of our game a little more clearly. And my response to you Mod Ash is that yes I think you are 100% correct. This is a game with a community and it needs new updates.
NEW ONES. not the exact same thing you guys did 2 years ago when the game was already failing. Look at your current online players these days? compared to 5 years ago? i remember seeing 150k people online every single day. That was because there wasn't overpowered items making it very easy to kill others. Just the basic stuff that was already good enough to hit +40! thats almost half of the maximum hp level. Plenty of damage output already. Plus brawling gloves ruin the game because they make it so damned easy to skill. The fun isn't having a high level, its getting it. If people would just wake up and realize that :@

Also majority of those 'players' were bots when Jagex did not have the capability to ban many of those like they do now. Don't believe those were all real players, cause they weren't.

I'm opposed to brawlers in general. However, I agree with Celtic that if they are added they should be pvp only. There is simply very little risk in being in the wilderness when some of the worlds have less than 100 people in them.

I agree with celtic. I liked the pj timer from bounty worlds where if you were attacking someone people couldn't interfere - even if the other person wasn't fighting back. So if you were hybriding and tbed someone and they were out of food and started running they couldn't have their friend or team mate come and save them as long as you continued to attack them, that was the best system in my opinion.

I think quite a lot of other things have happened in that time as well, and it'd be simplistic to say that any single one of them is the reason. But if we refuse to countenance new high-level content in OSRS "because that's what the other RuneScape did", we'd be stuck with there being hardly anything new to equip over level 75. And people really do complain about the game feeling stale at high levels.

So I think it's at least worth polling these things. I'd like to see whether or not people really feel they're overpowered. If that's a sticking point, we can poll a different version that's less powerful, or maybe drop them completely.

We want the no pjing rule we enjoyed in 2010. Where you cannot be pjed if you are attacking someone...
There isn't much point to a pvp world if its going to function the same as the wilderness. Yes you are hunting down skillers who are gaining 15%, but couldn't you just make it 15% boost in the wilderness and have it be the same thing minus safe zones?
Thanks for the extra detail. It's appreciated.

I recall one use for PvP worlds was to organise big epic clan battles in interesting parts of the world. Not for profit, or even for gameplay, but just for fun.

As soon as PvP worlds were released, an impending multi-site steel war got re-organised onto a PvP world instead of being in the Clan Wars dangerous free-for-all as they'd previously planned. If people turn out to want PvP worlds with no extra items or incentives, I suspect they'll still find the occasional use.

Good job RS2 mods, good job. :)

edit: only question I have is if there will be +1 item or not? Sorry if I missed it in the op, but there was so much text that I easily could have missed it. =/

I can almost guarantee that the ratio of legit players to bots back in 2006/07 was much higher than it is now. I did not notice many bots in 2006 outside of the Chinese gold farmers that hit yew logs and rune essence heavily. I assure the majority of players back then were not bots. 75k+ bots would be so much more noticeable than the bot armies that are so easily noticed now.

o yeah something really important i want to add about nightmare zone.
Jagex so right now when you use ancient magic in nmz you get full mage xp. so the best and cheapest way to train mage now is to go to nmz usimng ancient magic, pick up bloods, water, deaths, drop and pick up unti lhave 3k, then just use absorbtion potions and ice barrage giving you crazy and fast mage xp. This is not how mage should be trained, get rid of the free runes.

Also just something to add, this type of pj timer is great for solo pkers like myself. I don't pk with a team. I don't often go hybriding currently because its plagued with teams. I think pvp worlds would be a great place to introduce this pj timer, teams can pk in wilderness and solo pkers can pk in pvp worlds. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max
