Jagex you just gained like +5 rep points with me for not forgetting about Clan Wars...

I don't think I'll ever forget the development of Clan Wars.
Long story. O_o
Happy times...

Anyway, the other thing to remember is that clans were having wars long before Jagex formalised it with that arena and the purple portal. You don't strictly need Clan Wars. On the other hand, PVP worlds would add something that OSRS currently doesn't offer.

I recall a Steel War was being organised between various fansites when PVP worlds were first launched. The organisers promptly changed their plans to hold the war on the PVP worlds instead.

So maybe Clan Wars isn't the most useful update on the menu?

I enjoy the recreational mood Clan Wars presents. The lack of a risk is the major benefit Clan Wars presents and having PvP worlds would offer a nice alternative. However I don't think Clan Wars can be skipped over because of PvP worlds :o.

Edit: On the topic of Something Else , would you consider adding the PvP gear back into the game? Maybe even have them last longer and even possibly be repairable? Just a thought. Hi Mod Ronan

I remember reading about Wildy Tag! I'd forgotten about that entirely. It would provide incentive for non-PKers to get in the wilderness, so it'd definitely give some life to the PKing community. On the other hand, it would be a frustrating experience for the non-PKers who are taking part, but I guess it's all about risk = reward. I'm not sure I'd partake unless the rewards were great enough, as it sounds like a lot of what I don't like: being defenseless in the wilderness, and a lot of running.

Clan Wars and GWD are two things I support completely. Two big updates which would provide so much extra content and replay value; both CLW and GWD became the backbone of my RS play time last year. I made money by going to GWD, and would work towards the best gear to go use at CLW. I'd be so disappointed if either of these updates failed a poll. GWD is pretty controversial, though I would actually expect CLW to pass.

The Kraken is a good idea in itself, but what it did for me is open up my mind to all the possibilities of new bosses and huge content. Brand new NPCs, gear and lore which ties it in with the existing game, but drives it in a separate direction than RS3. I suddenly love the idea of making OSRS a whole new game, rather than a stuck-in-time dead-end version of RS with some pick-and-choose updates based on RS3.

I'm not an Engine Developer but I'd imagine getting Runetek5 into OSRS would be an incredibly large job, one much larger and out of scope for our current team.

It's not only moving the game to a new engine, it's moving the tools along with it. -----

What about just equipment switching speeds? (Not sure you can answer this) Hi Mod Ronan
