I don't like how the Barrows amulet will be degradable to nothing, at least make it repairable. Barrows will still be getting a shaft, why is it the only item in GWD to degrade? Why not Bandos armor or even the godswords too? Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

@ Moist Elax
Coming from a ranger, the day range void disappears on death will be one of the better days for osrs, rushing idiots with darkbows hurting the name of legit pking and runing any future updates for rangers, by throwing off how powerfull they really are due to a bunch of void pures. . A bunch of people that can spam rush with no fear of death is foolish, all untradeables should be lost on death, its wilderness there needs to be risk.

Also, if ags is released thats how rushing will happen is in void, cant be lost on death, increased strength and accuracy, all you need is a strength amulet and climbers. . . . Same exact risk as Dbow rushers, People seem to have completely forgotten about that, saying "you need barrows gloves" you dont all you need is an armour that you can barely lose. . . .

Same exact rushing technique used by darkbow rushers.

Untradeables should be lost on death!!!!

You know what, you bring up a very good point but this is something that would get bashed easily. People lag and die all the time in pvm and would also lose untradables. If they brought graves back i'd be ok with losing untradables but of course in pvp, you'd lose it instantly and the person who killed you should get coins like they did before. If GWD is here Pjers can't attack someone for 10 seconds after a kill because i know that will be 75% passed easily. Pjing is part of the game though. Void takes a nice chunk of time to get and if you could lose it on death in pvp but keep it outside of the wildy, you can combat pjing a bit. Although you will still have g maul/dds people lol

I came back to this old game because I wanted to play RS2 again, or what Jagex offered as a legit oldschool server, not RS2.1 not Pre-EoC..had those been polled as seperate servers and this were to never get updates, I would've supported 'em, let each group of players have their own servers, and happily played on RS3 and the old game.

This game already has more than it did back in 2007, and more than RS3 has..or at least things that RS3 doesn't have..this isn't the game I wanted to play, and by the looks of it, with 9k players logged in at night and 15k during the day, it might end up a version that nobody really wanted..

The irony is that the reason so many people left the server is because a lack of the content that we are just now starting to get. Try again.

Exactly...the current content is really easy for some and there isn't much you can really do. A lot of people left in 2007 for free trade and wildy being taken away and now many will leave because of the limited things old school has and if GWD doesn't pass....i guarantee this server will drop below 5k players.

What will be said when the number of players drop below 5k even after the release of new content, and where will the newer content end?

At the moment we are adding things that are directly from the main game, with the exception of the Nightmare Zone, which (I hate to say) will likely be dead content from the get go with everyone expecting GWD now. Will we add Nex later? QBD? Dungeoneering for better gear/PvM content?

I'd be happy starting over (once again) in a server that never changed, maybe 2 or 3 worlds if there was enough support for it, I'd support all Pre-EoC updates for Oldschool after that, instead of voting to oppose ruining the game in my opinion.

dont ever suggest something as insane as a degradable godsword or bandos armour.. people arent paying 150m to have to oil it up every 10 hour interval. the hefty price tags on these items are more then enough.

That being said, i want ags released as it was, and will be voting for an unnerfed spec. if there is ever a vote, (and ive submitted it for polling) i will definetly vote for nontradeables to be lost on death. in my opinion the wild is a dangerous place, and should be so. To be honest the #1 reason for this is i have a feeling that when i smite a ags that is nerfed, there just wont be the same rush when i see it laying there on the ground. as when i did it in the original, first time i dropped an ags it was insane, i dont want that to be diminished by haveing some chopshop wannabee version of it.

Full support to making all GWD gear degrade, or even making the Amulet repairable, it's ''Barrows'' afterall, we don't have to get a new Guthan's helm in order to fix our current ones...or change the amulet to work by itself instead of only off Barrows, then I'd be happy with it being degraded and fixed as the blog suggests.

Ive spent game months of time pking, theres nothing like the thrills of seeing claw's or an ags or dfs or bandos, or a piece of virtus on the ground. from someone you just dropped, devaluing the power of something for me takes the joy out of the fight. I like to go into deep wild to see what i can find sometimes, or maybe for lol's pretend to be a dragon killing bot, or edge pk for awhile, or high risk fight, or just get a buncha the same sets of gear and pk for days and days on end.

Continued because 2k characters is not enough for someone as long winded as I am:

2k characters isn't enough for me too but people like us get our comments half-read because people don't seem it important to fully read. I was going to also add about you saying about these things being polled..I AGREE 100% that EOC should have been polled and i think jagex is learning their lesson and using OSRS as an example but the numbers of players is great compared to how many people play runescape. 50k Players total with over 15k willing to start over and not play EOC is HUGE...Not to mention it was over 24k!! Imagine if you didn't have to start over...Would EOC even have 3k players?

I don't agree that EoC should've been polled, now had it been released as ''RS3'', and separated from the main game as it was at that point, a new game where everyone could've started over, it probably would've been better received. I don't think Jagex sees that players didn't want EoC, just that they currently prefer to play the old game more at the moment, but they'll probably quit and go back when they don't get the exact game they wanted out of this server.

I think Jagex should have legit PS so we can have what we each want..I'd gladly pay Jagex more for that.

@Demon of W97

Nightmare zone is close to the Dom Tower....any mini game that gives rewards that can be used outside of the mini game to aid in anything will always be played. Even IF GWD will be released, it's only polled at this time and may be another 2+ months before we see it. Nightmare zone will be of course crowded for a bit just like the goblin raid thing was. Except this place gives rewards so you have to stay a bit to get them. Even with GWD, corp, nex etc being out pre-eoc i still went to DOM tower...mainly for deadnips and those AWESOME gloves. You have to also understand Jagex did not have voting for those other bosses you mentioned. QBD came with the release of a quest. These updates are never coming to this game without other updates first. TDS may come but i highly doubt it because of dragon claws......but if they don't have d claws they may bring the dragon crossbow. They also may bring the dragon pickaxe but i doubt it. Nex will for sure not be here because those armours killed other armours. I think you have to be fair to players who are higher level and lower leveled. Higher level players should have a place that is hard even for them. Barrows, you can see level 40's there if they know what they are doing..(i started barrows at level 45 combat..) DKS and KQ is all you have and even then, those rewards aren't doing as great as barrows.....

I love questing, skilling, staking, and pvming. I don't mind playing mini games to break from all those above but i feel it's fair for me to have access to things others can't which also helps against bots because most bots won't have a lot of quest done.

I think the Amulet of the Damned is one of the stupidest ideas ever put out by Jagex, right up there with Eoc, Korasi, Soa, Sof, and Sgs, only outdone by the people who honestly believe that Barrows is made obsolete by Bandos. From the day barrows was released untill the day Eoc hit, it was used for Pking, Slayer, Pvm, Training. . . Dharok's was known to drop unskuled Torvain fights on a pretty decent basis, I would any day of the week take a Whip+Defender and Dharoks over Whip+defender+Bandos/Ags, Honestly the entire thing is a joke, Amulet of the damned would make Jad way to easy, Would make tanking at bandos alot simpler. Would make farming at Kq alot simpler, Would make Dharok pker's Absolute **** machines moreso then they already are. Would make Karils pretty dang decent in PvP instead of just using the bow and other gear. Would drive the price of torag's down even more, and make it the go to armour for people that just wanted defense. such as range tanks wearing helm and legs and dhide body.

[EDIT]
Just because i listed claws and Virtus helm on drop list above doesnt mean i want to see them in game necessarily. Virtus ofc not ***** that, to be honest i never minded claws all that much, but i was a tank. Id vote no for them if it ever came up.
