Personally I would love to see some of the old discontinued items entered into the game. But for pure cosmetic purposes only, not to hoard and make money off of. Make them untradable, because honestly I am fine without them right now. The economy and community is better off without the greed tradable "rares" will bring.

Please don't make rares go into random events or skilling pvm ect. introduce them into the game during the holiday that they come with. also don't put 2 million of them on the ground, maybe 1 per person if they do the holiday event? so every one can get them and there price isent super cheap.

whats the point in having the rares if there not rares
i think clue scrolls is the best idea as a very very rare drop if they remove them eventually???

can a mod answer my question , will the rares be removed from whatever the outcome is e.g clue scrolls

If this doesn't get a 75% yes, you guys are going to get a ton of hate.. And I still think 75% is way too high. It should only be a 2/3 majority.

But I think they should be in the form of events so every one has an equal opportunity. Just make some of the events take a lot longer (like phat events) and some be short events like war ship.

But I really wish you would make them all tradable.

Original message details are unavailable.
I think that every player in old school should be given a mystery box and when you open it you have an equal chance for each rare and you only get 1

Love it. Great idea man. And have them ALL be tradable.
You should have a 100+ skill total to get the box though.

You don't know what you are talking about. ALL MONSTERS, your combat level doesn't mean anything, you could fight rats if you wish, they would all have a rare chance of a drop. Also, putting them into shops won't make them rare, not for about a decade.

I completely disagree with putting rares in, it undermines what has been achieved by putting in 07 servers, giving e1 everything they want is whats caused the problems in runescape to begin with, you'd only be travelling down the same path again.

Already, theres unlimited stock of wfv, unids instead of grimys, some changes havent even been put to vote. There was a good reason for the grimys instead of unids, anti scam measures were put in place.

The trading between EOC and 07 servers another blotched bit of unfairness, people want harder rs yet make it easy and make it all unfair for those that actually wanted the challenge.

Now we're talking about putting rares in? wow , just wow. Will it all end when this is another EOC and everyone has what they want? Or just an EOC without the new combat and Sof.

Think about it please, where is this gonna end. Then consider the choice you make over these *rares* in old school servers.

Actually, I think they should be added to the table of items received from randoms such as mysterious old man's mysterious box, rick turpentine, security guard, niles/miles/giles etc.

That way EVERYONE can get one, and there will be no negative impact on skill areas or combat areas where people are rushing drops.

(There might be an increase in the number of people at flesh crawlers doing the instant random glitch though)

@Mandy

Another person that just wants to speak, without knowing anything about the situation. They WERE unids back in 2007, so they are staying unids. Oh, and not to mention, there was a vote for grimy already.

Fact is, rares were in the game in 2007, and they need to be brought back, or it's not an authentic game.

lottery stile everyone with total level of over 350 gets a ticket with a 7% chance of a rare.

This "ticket" would be trade-able or the "ticket" could be untrad-able and must be used withing 30 days.

While also allowing rares to be distributed through random events.
