I think that gwd should be the main focus for oldschool. I think this game will die without good pvm content since a big proportion of the community are pvmers who are waiting for more content. I am one of them and I am only playing oldschool in hopes for gwd and more bosses to fight. I think the loot from gwd should be the same or maybe only a few minor nerfs on certain things.

I also think that this game needs regular updates to stay alive. (we need new things to go to and things to look forward to)

thanks for keeping us updated :)

I like the sound of these updates but theres huge problem..

PVP worlds will be dead. Theres not much players in this game.
Wildernes is empty, training places are empty and mostly theres no one in the banks either. You more like meet 100 bots than 1 legit player in these worlds.
I have solution for this. Solution for empty worlds.

Theres 62 different worlds and theres only 3-4 worlds wheres more than 200 players.
Removing half of those worlds would increase the player amount in each world.
If theres only 31 worlds to play osrs, there would be 400 players each world.
More players to meet
more players to pk with
More players to kill
More players to team up to go pvm.

Yeah it might mean that there will be more bots in each world but we have jagex and their bot bustings. All we can do is count on jagex on bots.

Sorry for grammar ^^ Too much coffee and staing up :D

No wildy tag others are yes I'd love for pvp worlds to be introduced without the old system. I think if you were to create pvp worlds it should be just like a normal runescape world but with it all being put into a lvl 5 wildy. I think inside the city walls should be safe, and get no xp boost. While outside where you can get attacked by other players granting a 1.3x xp modifier to reward you for training in such a dangerous area. I've talked to many people, and ive asked them the question, would you train in pvp worlds, most say no until I say if there would be a 1.3x xp multiplier. This gives pkers something to hunt, and gives a nice risk/reward system for regular players. I know i'd train there most of the time for almost all skills. There are very few skills which can be done anywhere in rs. One of which is fletching and the other is alching.
I could see the pvp worlds being abused by alchers and fletchers going to the corners of rs. Id think that maybe a Bounty hunter system would work, we could say the person getting the highest xp/hr in that world becomes a target for the world, maybe a little arrow shown on mini map for all players who would beable to kill the person to show where the person is. I'd imagine it'd be a good bit of fun to hunt the person in the world abusing it most. This is my idea of how you'd stop the xp multiplier abuser, or maybe you could force people to return to a major city every 2-3 hours to recieve the xp bonus.
Anyway I'd very much enjoy pvp worlds they'd add a great bit of spice.

Oh and to add on, I think there should only be one pvp world. To keep it populated, and I just saw someone saying people wouldnt risk stuff for woodcutting and mining etc. They wont be getting much xp if they keep dying over and over again either. Maybe make a novelty reward for killing people. Example: The wilderness hood This give incentive for killing the guys who are just powermining/powerwoodcutting. I personally think the best training spots will always have pkers crawling around, and if they're in this world they arn't a bot or afking so I wont mind them getting the added xp anyway. Its like the wildy agility course, people always die doing it with no risk.

We currently have an undenibly balanced Melee, Range and Magic system.
I fear GWD will mess up the balance completely.

It'd have to be completely rebalanced if you wanted it in the game.
Making the Zamorak Godsword and the Armadyl Godsword into staves would be a good idea.

I personally however don't support GWD.

I'm all for PvP worlds, though. =)

Okay, so i know im not an avid forum poster....but im paying for a membership to play OLD SCHOOL rs..........so my question for you is...if you created OSRS for the people who do not like what the new RS has become, why in the world are you attempting to bring OSRS right down the same path that it went when it became the game that so many of us do not like... not sure if im alone here...but doesnt that defeat the purpose of creating an oldschool game....keep it oldschool jagex...dont be stupid.
