'A more elaborate idea is to create a series of randomly-generated tasks that must be accomplished on a PvP world. For example, a player could be challenged to buy a special box from an NPC and deliver it to another NPC (without hopping worlds). If they succeed in this, they are given their money back, plus a reward consisting of some kind of tradeable resources. If they get PKed on the way, their killer would acquire the box and would be able to complete the task instead to claim the reward.'

Great idea, go with this. Far better than allowing xp multipliers - there are always going to be so many ways around those.

As I said earlier I think there should be a penalty for teleporting while in combat. (Back in 2008-2010 you would lose EP for teleporting in combat.)

a good penalty that would hinder pkers and skillers:

- you would lose some points that you get for killing players (the points that increase your chance to get ancient warrior equipment and brawling gloves)

- when doing the random tasks your reward should be worse if you had teleported in combat (if you are allowed to teleport when doing these tasks)

- if the 15% xp bonus passes: xp reduced by 10% (so you will still be getting a 5% xp bonus) for a small amount of time. Xp penalty goes down by 1% every 2 minutes.

You should also get a small xp penalty for dying, nobody's going to bother killing skillers who are risking a few logs. This will make skillers would wear some armor to not get killed easily and then pkers would want to kill them for their gear.

Thanks for the 'BTS' Ash.

Finally, all those people who claim I vote 'no' to everything... this poll will allow them to be 'right' about that, for once.

Don't lie, you vote no to everything. By the way you said that you quit oldschool runescape few months ago, why the heck are you still here?


LOL

Believe as you wish. This time, you'll be right in saying I voted no to everything on the poll. It will be the first poll where I do actually vote no to EVERYTHING. :P

As to still being here... I bought the gold membership early this year. That makes me a 'member' and as long as I am I will be here.. voting in polls.. hoping to help 'shape' OS into something *I* want to play as well.

I hope the oldschool mods will add few worlds (servers) that will
Never
be updated. So people like you can enjoy it, and we can enjoy the game that will be updated.

I think PVP worlds should be added, but no new tradable items. The money in the game is already becoming less and less valuable due to the bots.

I do support a XP boost when training in dangerous places. This will bring more players to the obscure parts of the map to seek profit from their gold. I do believe High alchemy should be allowed in the PVP worlds for the boosts. No matter how clever they think they are, they will be found eventually. I would know, being an EP gainer back in the PVP world days. No matter how obscure the place, I was always found eventually. (i.e. the boat in 55 wilderness, up 3 flights of stairs. Who would think to go there? But I was found after only an hour or so).

As far as Vestas and Morigans, I wouldn't bother with it. It won't pass in my opinion, and with GodSwords coming we don't need anymore overpowered weapons and gear. The whole point of bringing back oldschool was partially for the PKers to enjoy whip/DDS pking, right? ;)

Brawler gloves were awesome, but I have a few complaints with them. I believe they should only be obtained through (what someone else has already mentioned) a system of revelants. I believe they should ONLY work in PVP worlds, and ONLY in the wilderness. They should also ALWAYS be lost upon death (And maybe drop a 50k reward to the killer?) - This will bring a bit more risk to using them. I was also one of the people to one item with brawlers doing random things in obscure places, so I remember how that worked. The system was very flawed.

I really like the idea of PVP worlds coming back. I honestly can say I had a lot of fun in PVP worlds. Probably the most fun since the oldschool Wilderness back in 2007. PVP worlds were quite enjoyable and I think this is a fine addition to the game, but we all need to be careful when voting. The economy is very fragile and when adding tradable items to the game via point system, or random drops WILL be abused, somehow.

That said thanks for the great work guys. :P

with all these nice new updates, what are the chances of getting bank tabs back? with GWD around the corner, possible new slayer update and achievement diary's i think bank tabs would make switching form slayer to clues to GWD alot smother faster and more enjoyable

''When awarding extra rewards to "successful" PKers, it is necessary to avoid players killing each other repeatedly to farm the rewards.''

Why do pkers need 'extra rewards' for being 'successful'? Don't they get what their 'prey' drops? You need to bribe them to pk? Why would you do that?

I thought the purpose of pvp worlds was to bring in MORE prey for the pkers?

'We may need to offer some incentive for people to visit PvP worlds as prey for the PvP enthusiasts.' that's what the devblog says...

So.. you're offering ''extra rewards'' for pkers to pvp, and because they don't have enough 'prey' (people that participate in pvp) you're also wanting to offer 'some incentive' for players who wouldn't otherwise pvp to play on those worlds?

Currently, there's 376 people in your f2p themed worlds (that's 108 in one and 268 in the other). Are there really that many more pkers that you need to provide 2 more worlds (such that you need to give them extra rewards and bribe others to become their prey)?

While I can't, in all honesty, vote no to 'everything' in this poll (purple dots, bank pin) I can see voting no to everything pvp related.

You're catering to what appears to be a small group, at the expense of the game as a whole and adding in ANY 'bonus xp' can end up nothing but detrimental to the game.
