1. Would you like rare items return in some form?

no, but if they do return please make them untradable and reclaimable.

2. If you vote for rare items to return, would you like the currently tradable rare items to remain tradable?
OH GOOD GUTHIX NO PLEASE DON'T.
please make them untradable and reclaimable.

1. Distribute them using similar mechanics as you did before (dropping them, holiday events)

oh yes lets start hording them like we did before...no lets not please don't do this 1.

2. Appear as a very rare reward from a treasure trails

probably one of the worst ideas on the list cause think of the level 3 skillers.(not really fair to them.you have like many diffrent ways to get a clue and all they have is caskets/thieving if its in this game.then how do u expect them to finish it without dieing.

3. Distribute them through very rare monster drops

this would cause people to camp creatures for long periods of time and it would be rather annoying if you did this.

4. Have an NPC shop you can buy rare items from for a small amount of GP

i think everyone should be able to have these so i would be ok if you did this.4 is good.

5. Have an NPC shop you can buy rare items from for a large amount of GP

o yes let make it so only the riches of the rich can get this and let let all the poor player cry and give up then see the end of 07 scape.

6. Have them given out as rewards from community events

i dont like this idea the last time i participated in you "community event".

7. Give one of each rare item to every old school player

yes this is what im aiming for everyone who plays deserves one.this is my favorites
suggestion on the list.(i think it should be this one and its untradable/reclaimable.)

8. Have them appear as very rare drops when skilling

not a bad idea i think there are better ones tho.

9. Introduce new seasonal events for each of them.

yea you miss the event and worst its tradeable wow that would be very disappointing.

Runescape feels empty without trade-able rares :P

Maybe you could introduce a new monster that purely drops rare items. Program the drop rates based on the rarity of the item. e.g

Blue party hat - 1:50,000

White party hat - 1:40,000

Red party hat - 1:30,000

Santa Hat - 1:10,000 and so on.


Or perhaps just add as a drop to an existing monster such as metal dragons.

That way at least people have to work for rares, instead of being handed an item worth hundreds of millions on a silver platter.

As for skillers, get a main.

Tradable rares I think should be sold in an unlimited supply in a shop and untradeable ones can be had from their events from the past. Since the tradeable ones were mostly had from finding them as random drops on the ground plus those are the ones that cause most trouble with gambling type personalities. So unlimited in a shop would kill that prob if anyone could get them freely for a small fee to an npc and not a human player, "mercher" for example. Plus its oldschool everyone should enjoy them and not scheme type personalities who lurk in the shadows. While the nontradable ones can remain the items you can say "see I was there for that time and so and so." :P Diango shop perfect for the tradeable ones ^_^

I now have an issue with the word vanity items or rares due to SoF in future updates. I have no idea why items like a half jug of wine would be included. I know Jagex have stated that SoF will not be in the game, but I just want this poll to be worded very carefully and everything to be clear what people are voting for.

I just don't want to take any chances of people wanting rare items to be be seen as a sign that people are happy with SoF and have that issue.

Why not make a chance of gettin a rare when u skill? like how it is for gems for mining, nest for wc and etc...?

Option C: Give everyone a rare.
Option B: No rares in 07.
