I am rather conflicted about PvP worlds.

PvP worlds were so fun back when they introduced them originally. Being able to roam all over Gielinor, fighting anyone you ran into*****;3 memories.

Back then a lot more players were playing and a lot more players were into PVP. It was super easy to find fights. Now days though in OSRS, finding fights in the wildy is rather difficult due to the lack of players. Adding a PvP world would just split the amount of players, making it even harder to find fights. 621232696116

I have an idea as to how wildy tag can work. It should revolve around firemaking. You "tag" the poles by lighting them with a tinderbox. This would give firemaking some incentive in this game, where the deeper, more rewarding posts would require higher fm levels. Just an idea.

I would love beyond anything to have BH worlds back, having a target etc made pking so much funner, the extra reward for killing targets was a bonus for pures also. Of course implementing this 'extra reward' would be tricky. I thought a coin reward may be good, ranging from 50k-500k, keeping the element of surprise in there and incentive too for target hunting. Need I say anything about GWD, everybody knows its what everybody wants.

I'd just like to say a massive thank you for listening to us and recognizing that new things need to be brought in to sustain the game us veterans love.

I would love for GWD to be back, also I am all for the rewards from the bosses to be untradeable. Also some bosses to be reworked for rangers and mages can have a boss they may fight, and also the weapons change into ranged and mage weapons so we dont have the drops primarly for melee.

With regard to the GWD ideas, but really all of it, I'm really glad to see Jagex making an effort to do the best thing for their game. I just wish Jagex did this since 2007 instead of building up the hate that they have for certain portions of newer content.

Wildy Tag rewards would have to be based on the amount of players in the wilderness while you are tagging. If not, people could just go to unpopulated worlds and get lots of money easily.

On the other hand, lots of people would try this, so there might not be any unpopulated wildernesses...

Clan wars should be implemented for the community benefits it brings, but no free-for-all portals should be implemented.

RuneTek5, as I saw mentioned in the first reply, would also be useful.

And resizeable/fulscreen mode! I don't care how long it takes, it is so annoying to play on a tiny screen! I believe the small screen is a major factor in the decision of any person who decides not to play OSRS.

I listed these in the order in which I would like to see most.

1. Wildy tag seems like a load of fun and a good reason to get people reinvolved with clanning. For me, I have thought about participating in clans, but have no incentive to participate in a large team battle. With the advent of small pking clans to hunt down wildy taggers in each world, becoming part of a clan may be something that would actually have a benefit again.

2. PVP Worlds with a skill-boost incentive? Sounds AWESOME! Would LOVE to see that become a part of old school runescape. Would make training more fun, and give a new twist to PKing.


Things I do not care for:

I have NO desire for GWD to become a part of old school runescape again, since many people would just run around 1 iteming with an AGS. Not to mention it just makes melee ultra dominant again.

Clan wars? Why bother with the suggested updates for PVP worlds and Wildy Tag. Gives the Wilderness a boost and gives PKing and skilling a new twist. Absolutely love the idea of both of those!
