It looks like the rooftop courses will provide better exp than the current courses, but there's more risk involved with rooftop, cause you have to finish an entire course to get any EXP. Rooftop agility will be riskier yet have a chance at being faster and the existing courses will be more consistent and less reliant on luck. I really hope that rooftop agility won't have a very consistent EXP rate so we have the fun of deciding for ourselves if we want consistent exp or a chance at better exp.

Also I think it would be sweet if there were optional areas you could get to only by using rooftop agility, such as a secret entrance to the Pheonix or Black Arm gang headquarters. What if there were hidden unlockable obstacles the game doesn't tell you about that you can trigger by doing quests etc.? E.g. after you finish a quest for a dude in varrock, he decides to open his window and you can try to jump in it. These secrets wouldn't be beneficial EXP-wise, they would just be something cool.

I really hope rooftop agil will have a somewhat secret feel, as if your character has just discovered his own way of getting around; it would be a little lame if there was an agility instructor at the start of each course. The course obstacles shouldn't be extremely obvious, and should look natural.

I'm so excited for this - I've been at the Ape Atoll course for hours, pushing for at least 80 before this is released. Currently at 69 :P

Would it be possible to have a future poll to add Lletya as a course? The layout is totally perfect with the upper walkways, and the scenery is (to me) the most beautiful in the game. Plus, elves are known to be agile, and a level 95 course in Lletya would be amazing.

Just throwing this out there, but maybe an elve-themed reward if there ever is a Lletya course? A crystal pendant or ring? Oh god, that would be so awesome.

Thank you for this, Jagex, as well as all those who voted in the poll and came up with the ideas. :)

I hope it's okay that I'm replying again...

The guy above me said something about "a guy in Varrock opening his window so now you can climb in" - woah.

Imagine a thieving/agility minigame where you sort of break and enter into rich households in Varrock/Ardougne/other various 'rich' cities around Runescape, steal loot and give some to the poor (e.g. in Ardy to West Ardougne citizens) and keep some for yourself!

I should probably plan this out a little better and make a new suggestion thread... expect it soon enough. ;)

This makes OSRS more interesting. :)

If this is implemented, I'd like to give it a try when I can.

Whenever there is a discussion between RS3 and OSRS; remember Classic tops RS and OSRS. ^_^

well I have a question for the jmod in charge if this, is it possible to make a course equal to the wildy course xp per hour?? sorry to suggest this but hear me out... when ur in wildy which is a top course, people try to kill you often for your supplys and stuff. it takes awhile to get back and we are wasting our food and potions... I understand people want to pk well there is other pk players out there.. why bother the people trying to train a skill.... its not fair to us agility trainers who like the skill... ive come to just bring nothing with me at all cause people try to kill me so often, of course I could kill them easly but when ur training agility the courses you fail hurt u and the more health you have you get hurt more when u fail.. so having less health is better so you don't waste as much food. basicly it makes a easy fast kill for the pkers.... im very sick of this and its not fair.. could we please make a roof top course equal to the wildy course for this instants? possibly a hair bit better for the between course.. there is a pretty big gap between wildy and the next course really. ive always liked wildy the most so ill use wildy mostly till 90 id assume. I just hate pkers that are pathetic enough to kill a unarmed man. its like shooting some one in the back. GROW A PAIR AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN! ITS SAD people revert to this cause there so dumb and cant pk like a man.

or if you don't wanna do this, could it be possible to atleasst make the course safe zone? the walk to the bank or outside the course can be free game so there will still be a chance! I just feel its not right to get killed in the course while ur training agility.
