Original message details are unavailable.
Please don't implement Clan Wars Jagex. I'm a current member of Violent Resolution, and the Clan Wars topic is hated in the clan world. Nobody wants it.

I really wish Jagex would stop trying to update the game which we asked to keep the same.

So, all you are saying is give Clan Peace a chance? :)

Wildy Tag - Sure, why not.

PVP Worlds - Again, sure, why not. Would decrease activity in regular wildy a bit though. Perhaps if you double the xp or something for training in those worlds.

Clan Wars - Yes! Add it to the same spot as it use to be, level 18 wilderness (around there) west of green dragons!

The God Wars Dungeon - YES! Make ALL the items still tradeable though for the love of Christ, would be stupid for godswords not to be tradeable. They aren't overpowered. A dark bow can hit high than an AGS in the wilderness right now.

First of all, thank you Mod ash for this very informative and straight to the point dev blog. With regards to any new mini-games, I don't feel as though the community will make the most of any 'fun, spare-time' mini-games at this stage.
In my opinion, OSRS's greatest draw-back is the lack of high level content. Even though there's KQ, Dagannoth King's etc etc. There's only so much KQ a person can do. Many people have come up with ideas such as introducing a new HIGH LEVEL Boss monster.. the problem with this idea is such a high level (therefore difficult/challenging) monster is expected to provide Loot beyond imagination. Therefore OP weaponry is expected, or else there would be no incentive to go face to face with such a Boss.

With this being said, Godwars was without a doubt the best and most positively affected PVM update for Runescape. It allowed for a great number of PVM clans to form. It gave people a great incentive to train intensively in order to join their favourite PVM clans (and for a greater number of reasons).
I think the people who are disagreeing with the idea of re-introducing Godwars forget that before summoning, curse prayers, overloads, etc etc.. Godwars was actually a challenging feat. Clans were limited with the amount of time they could spend battling. Furthermore, I think the people dismissing the Armadyl Godsword don't realise that it will be an extremely rare and expensive item.

And I don't know about any of you..but I embraced the idea of facing someone with an Armadyl godsword. The chance of pking any sort of godsword made the battle that much more interesting and 'exciting'.

Overall, PVM needs addressing ASAP. I thank all of the MODS for taking such an interest in improving our game play. Keep up the good work!

What is the point of playing OSRS if you are just going to start updating it again, with other new stuff? I believe the only thing that should be brought back to the game is god wars dungeon. Clan wars isn't necessary as there is already the Wildy. If people want to fight and not lose their stuff they can already go to duel arena even though it is not for teaming purposes, if they really want to team against people it should be in the wilderness where you can actually lose stuff.

I really like the idea of Wildy Tag. Though I'm not really sure what sort of reward would be best. I'd not want a gp reward to cause inflation, so I'm inclined to go for material rewards. Though, would that devalue skiller's profits? But in any case I'd think material rewards of some sort would be best. Though I suppose it all depends on how difficult it is to obtain rewards. I'd hate to see people running around tagging posts and collecting tokens unchallenged and massively profiting because there aren't enough pkers to give them a decent run for their money. I suppose as with anything, it is a balancing act, of risk vs reward. I trust the '07 team to come up with the best balance of rewards for the risk.

As for other things mentioned, I'm pretty much neutral. They don't interest me, but I'm not one to deny others their fun when it doesn't effect me.

Lastly, on the topic of other things I may want: Small things are the best things imo. I don't need, or really even want most major updates. '07 is a great game in its own right with a lovely community and that's why I play it, not for any updates.
Community support from the '07 team
(which has been great so far),
moderation/bot busting
(not bad), and
small tweaks to improve ease of gameplay
are all I really want, and I'd like nothing more than those points to be focused on. No need to fix what isn't broken, and '07 is near perfect as is. Though, that is only my personal opinion, and if the community wants more than that, then who am I to argue. :P

Only thing I really want off the top of my head currently is: Fix private messaging between Classic and '07. Mod Ash mentioned on a thread a while back that you were waiting for the engine team to have more time before certain things could be fixed. I hope that with RS3 launched that they will have a bit of time to squeeze that into their schedule sometime. :)

Anyways, keep up the great work. RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.

You know what, wildy tag and pvp world would be great! But we really really really need things like godswords and PVP armors/weapons. Without variety and more items to achieve, the game just dies out and people get bored with using the same thing over and over. So bottom line:

1. GWD + PVP armor/weapons
2.Wildy tag/PVP Worlds


I mean, even dragon claws seem viable to me at this point... i don't see the big problem with them, they were a fun weapon to use that were very expensive to get in the first place, just imagine how rare they'd be in 07
