@cochises, that's why deaths office is the best thing we can do. I mean if the timer doesn't start until you leave the office. and you decided you have to go feed the fam, or have to get off for the night, you can still log back in, into deaths office and carry on where you left off. therefore if you say well shit, i don't have 500k i gotta go sell some loot from my loot tab(assuming you were using good gear obviously according to g.e value) you still get the opportunity to log in, use the bank chest, pull out runes or a tele tab to varrock and go do your thing and tele back via glory. 15 mins is more than enough time to do that. and it keeps it fair and they get their money sink without breaking things that were never suppose to be broke.

Which also protects the community from ddos attacks, which we know will happen again. It not only saves jagex a massive headache, but it saves us to in a way. It's fair all the way around even for f2p. It'd be the easiest thing for them to do and probably save them a ton on the coding. Plus they could do something cool with it for visuals, inside and out. Make osrs deaths office fit osrs. Make it a hole in the ground with a shovel and grave keeper guy, or an above ground coffin you were climbing out of, or going into when you return with eeery lanterns and with some grave stone/s that list the people who've died recently on that world with some crows since it'll be at the crossroads next to the manor. they can do what ever they want. but It's a good idea regardless.

2 minute death timer, Jagex. You have catered to the casuals for TOO LONG. Old school is becoming RS3 all over again.

I don't even PVM because it's not interesting anymore. I enjoyed seeing people's loot pop-up on the floor; if they were respectable and generally a nice person, I was more than happy to help them out. That is what community is all about.

That is what old school was about. It wasn't about every piece of content being solo-able by every player. This game is not punishing and every player should not be able to do every piece of content.

(the pixel huggers aren't going anywhere...trust me)

5200k to reclaim items from Zulrah?

basicly, my osrs account barely gets a 5 min kill, I admit I struggle killing it, but I want to, but this idea is a massive turn off

just keep death mechanics as they are and implement an item/gold sink similar to how RS3 did invention


yeah, why don't we just turn the whole game into rs3??????

People crying about this are just pathetic.

The fee is capped at 500k which is nothing. You get 15 minutes instead of 60 minutes, big deal. You can get into a GWD Boss Room in 15 minutes... and they changed that to make it even easier anyway. There is NO difference between 15 and 60 minutes because ALL areas of the game are reachable in 15 minutes anyway! Plus it doesn't count when logged off.

Give us back the 2 minute timer exactly as it was in 2007, but have it only count down when logged in. Why is that so difficult?

"Please bear in mind that the timer used to be two minutes, and the extension to its current behaviour was not a polled change!"

Yeah exactly. You changed it without a poll. Change it back to the way it was and then poll changes. If it doesn't get 75% then we should STILL have the 2 minute timer.


This man could not be more correct, Jagex. He has a very valid point. I have been playing since 2001 and I would welcome this change with open arms.
