Clan Wars back!!!

Wildy Tag - Eh, I dunno about that one entirely. I'll leave the feedback regarding it to someone else.
PvP Worlds - I don't see anything wrong with this one. It'll give players a place to PvP and would help give players who don't want to PvP a little more leniency in entering the wilderness safely. One thing you'll have to do though is something with the world list. Upon opening the world list make PvP worlds a red shade or orange, just like the F2P worlds have a white-ish shade. This will help players from automatically logging into them. Also keep them from being auto-joined worlds, or "choose best world for me" worlds.
Clan Wars - Sure.
I had a lot of fun playing clan wars back in the day. It would be nice to have it linked to chat, but since that can't be pulled off capes work too. But what if someone has a decent cape they'd like to wear to fight? (Obby cape, fire cape, etc?) What if there was an NPC the clan leader could talk to upon entering clan wars and said NPC could "register" your clan to clan wars? Or would that work in the same way as linking the chat channel?
GWD - Indeed, a lot of discussion has been raised over this one. My stance on this one is indifferent. One side of me doesn't see a problem with it, but another side of me says that we don't need it, at least, not quite yet. Reason being is the way it is now, we have a decent amount of weapons that can take care of the job for most of the bosses. The weaponry and armour we have now helps keep PvP a little more balanced. I fear if Godswords and God armour would be thrown into the mix, it would throw off a lot of pkers, such as pures, etc. Not just that, but I could see prices of items that are at a solid amount of price crash to a lower amount, which could hurt the economy. However, the side of me that wants it says that all these changes will rebound, and adaptations made. We'll see. If GWD is polled, I'd suggest polling it 2x, maybe even 3x for the most accurate percentages.

Something else - I have alot of ideas for something else.
First and most importantly on my list is Q&A's!1!111one!! Can you poll to gauge interest about what the community thinks about getting the old school team together one day and having a forum based Q&A session?
Secondly, something you could look into for a big project would be slayer. Currently there is a lot needed to be done with slayer. Smoking kills quest, one of them. We also cannot see different slayer masters on our skills interface. It needs a slight revamp.
Thirdly, forums! Mat created a thread asking what forums we'd like to have added, and there hasn't been a jmod to post on it since! About when can we see some more forums added for us? Furthermore, could we have increased Jmod communication as a whole over in the Feedback and Suggestions forum?
On a final note, it seems moderator recruitment has picked up recently. Mostly foreign language servers have gotten dealt with, and a few friends of mine as well have been contacted regarding it as well. Could you poke Steve and ask him what his plans for Old School are? We're seriously lacking mods to help keep the old school environment safe and friendly. Scamming and autotyping is a big problem. Could you see what he has to say, for the sake of the community?
That's about everything I have to share at the moment. Thanks Ash, and the team.
