I don't care about any of this.
The game is currently overshadowed by a far greater issue to work on.
Thankfully, the solutions is easy.

You are still on track to follow through a lethal decision. All you have to do to save what little credibility there's left is to poll the changes of the equipment rebalancing proposition.

I don't care a single bit about this. I'm worried that the game is on a fast-track to an early grave because of community negligence.

What we want is for you to poll the updates. All of them.
Do that and we can start the constructive discourse on smaller things like this.

This looks like enjoyable and exciting content for F2P players and it's always nice to entice F2P players with more content so they look toward members.

Having a better prayer training method for F2P players is great as well since F2P players are limited to just burying bones in the first place.

The mace sounds great, but in F2P the best weapon is the Rune Scimitar and there's almost no reason to use anything else. I don't know if the Mace would be any good for providing another option to players.

This could be interesting, but I would urge care and consideration when integrating this content with the rest of the game - it sounds like the intent is to add a lot of new mechanics, NPC's, and items to the game here.

Perhaps it could be re-worked to be more inclusive of existing NPC's, concepts, and content rather than adding a bunch of new things? Adding in a bunch of stuff that only relates to one quest or minigame leads to a 'compartmentalized' world that isn't well integrated.

Yes fully support this update! F2p is in dire need of new content and the new mace would be a fantastic way to have something to strive for in f2p. I would ask only that you bring in more combat-related items for f2p now and in the future as it has grown very stale and pre-eoc had much more content (gravite weaponry, Fist of Guthix armours etc). The mace looks great, please make it better than the rune scimitar and make it a bit of a grind to obtain so it feels rewarding upon obtaining it! Thanks ! Fully support! Excited af!

I'm in favor of this addition.

Will the player get more mace part drops after the weapon has been built?
With the introduction of new golems and golembane will the effect extend to the rock golem in the enchanted valley and will this creature get a new look? Can we expect more golems around the world and perhaps golem slayer tasks?

With the mace being relatively low level I'd suggest more uses, such as a teleport.
It can easily function similar to the Skull Sceptre, i.e. extra pieces of the mace can be broken down to charge a completed mace. A teleport to the minigame (maybe somewhere else). The number of charges the mace holds scales with the Varrock diary.

Love me some new lore, so I'm all for this - as long as the lore isn't centered just around the place itself. Could be cool to see it tie into some other storylines in the future.

Not sure how a weapon with a higher max hit but a marginally lower accuracy is supposed to be slightly worse than a rune scimitar. Then again I don't think it'd be detrimental if the mace was indeed to be better than the scimitar. It could even be a (level 45) untradeable weapon that lasts for some hours before needing repairs (with bannite/parts and coins, given to an NPC in the ruins; repairing a weapon and reforging one from pieces are somewhat different things after all) or turning to dust. That'd give F2P players an incentive to go back there and promote replayability.

Overall this update is great! I'm voting yes to the new quest and randomized maze for sure!

The mace/crush weakness PVM is an awesome niche for F2P.

However,

The passive RC XP is a problem. This could potentially turn melees 0 time and this isn't how we want an alternative RC training method. RC XP from a dedicated RC activity such as the RC minigame/guild would be much more preferred even if it slightly increased RC XP rates.

The passive Prayer XP from fishing/cooking is also a problem. A semi afk/low XP prayer training alternative is fine but it shouldn't be behind fishing/cooking. It should behind it's own dedicated activity as well just like the boneyard prayer training method for F2P ironmen.
