I like that you are trying to get PvP back up and running and i like the idea of returning PvP worlds. I am happy that EP wont be back and that on death the killer can loot the persons items just like the wildy.

I know why you are adding incentives to go and log in to a PvP world for Pking and skilling.
I think the rare high level armor drops are great incentives to get people to try and PK in these worlds. Think about it, Pkers won't have a consistent income and this armor only lasts 1 hour of combat and will probably be expensive so it wont have much impact on PvP and PvE.

However, I do not believe brawlers should be re-added. The main reason i decided to come back to RS07 was because of the amount of free/easy experience EoC hands out and accomplishment of reaching a 99 isn't exciting anymore, it doesn't even feel satisfying or an accomplishment. Brawler gloves also feel like a punishment to players that do not PK because they have to put in a lot more effort into the skill to get the same amount of experience they just got because of them.

I don't like the bonus experience you get for being in a PvP world But, i can live with it because it is accessible to all players as, you don't need to PK but still run the risk of being killed because the bonus experience is only gained for being out of a safef zone.


Yes, the free experience is not the only option, I like many other RS07 players came back because i do not like the new combat system and prefer the special attacks.

Please note that this is my perspective and it is neither right or wrong as is yours however I only ask for you to respect it as i will respect yours. As a fellow human being you have the right to voice your opinion but, you don't have the right to bully, harass or attack another human being.

If we wanted a non-updated version of OSRS, why did we vote through god wars dungeon? Why did we vote through Nightmare zone? Why WILL we vote through pvp worlds? The community obviously wants more content added to the game, and the devs are simply meeting out demands. If you want a non-updated game go to classic.

Exactly, and stop blaming our staff mister 69, players pick updates.

So the only solution I see is either +1 item system or the other player (player B) receiving the item in it's current degraded state.
Player B would receive the item in its current degraded state.
Following an earlier discussion in this thread, there'd be an option on the item to show how much more charge it's got.

Make it possible to combine 2 degraded items like if you have pked a vesta longsword (60% charges) and a vesta longsword (75% charges) you could combine them to get a vls with 35% charges and an undegraded vls so people who don't have the requirements to use the equipment or don't want to use it could sell it. Or just make the degraded stuff tradeable and add the % of charges to the examine text.

'Brawler gloves would similarly be made by re-using existing glove models. They could give a +300% XP bonus for training in the Wilderness, or a +50% XP bonus for training elsewhere. Again, these items would have their own poll question.'

300%... Why.

Someone on page 16 mentioned more Dragon items rather than ancient warriors items; usually i'm against adding new content but this seems rather reasonable. they would fit in nicely with the other content Runescape currently has and they would probably satisfy a much larger playerbase than the ancient weapons would. He also mentioned the dragon shortsword as a reward from the Shades of Mort'ton gold chests, this seems like a great idea since not many people play that minigame currently and this increase of activity in Mort'ton would mean people can complete the Shades of Mort'ton quest and make pyre logs more easily. :D Perhaps necromancers robes could be added in addition. I loved Shades of mort'ton in pre-eoc RS2 as you can tell by my name so i'm quite biased, oh well.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but all of these updates are just going to spread the already thin pvp community even thinner. There are already decent minigames that can be played Castle Wars etc. Clan wars seems like a comparatively good idea compared to PvP worlds IMO though since it offers clan fighting without being forced to risk items, or over the top rewards

It would nice to see new players introduced to OSRS that would solve some of the issues above but would probably be quite difficult given that there are plenty of up-to-date MMORPG's that they would probably choose to play.
