Well done dev team! This is how it should be ran! Good polls too, hope they all pass! Especially F2P worlds for members would be great for pking. Thank you jagex!

Edit: One other thing. Something has to be done about the energy levels, not sure exactly what, but they run out so fast and take so long to recharge without using energy pots - The rest feature would be good to be re-implemented in my opinion.

Everything from the polls sounds great. Small things that make a slightly larger difference without being unbalanced (bank booths, enter login).

F2P worlds is AMAZING. I do not care at all if this game is F2P or not, I will gladly hand my money over so long as it is good. The main reason why I even played F2P was because it was the only place you could go with limited gear or specific 'builds' of pker accounts and fight without getting spec'd instantly. Loving that one.


Herb re-naming is by far the most important thing at this time. People refuse lower herbs yet use their price to influence the prices of higher herbs, which isn't necessarily bad. It makes herblore more profitable/profitable at all. However, it's also borderline scamming to many people, and many old school players know that people used to actually do scams using unid herbs.

I would prefer renamed herbs, although I'd rather have the older graphics of them than the modern ones if possible. It really makes it feel 'old school'.


As for the tradable (and sort of untradable) holiday rares, I don't think they're particularly important to the game. They should be easily obtainable by ANY PLAYER. The untradable ones were just a fun excuse to say "I attended x event", and were scarcely worn in the game. They weren't important at all.

The tradable rares themselves were only 'important' for the same reason whips will be like 30M gp when they first get put into the game. They're rare, they're iconic. Whips have a special quality of being infinite in amount as well as being USEFUL. Partyhats, masks, santas, and most definitely the disk/wine/pumpkin/easter egg had no use at all. Only implement wearable rares and make sure that any player can get them, at nearly any point of when they play.

I will again suggest using Diango to sell holiday items, preferrably unique shop ****k to each player, with prices equal with the item rarity and tiered prices. Partyhats in equal cost, then masks, and santa hats in last.

I have to admit, I was planning to vote "no" for every suggested update for the content polls - but these updates are fantastic!

Easter Event - I don't think anybody will claim that this doesn't belong ingame, considering it was introduced several months before the August 2007 backup we play on.

Herb Naming - This is probably the only one I will vote "NO" on. Having herbs as unidentified may open many opportunities to scamming, which is obviously not wished for, but it gives herblore an interesting dynamic, where players have to be innovative to work around the handicap.

Remove Roof - I personally don't care too much about this, but it was quite possibly the first thing my friend noticed when he logged on and he has been mentioning it constantly. I'll probably vote "YES" for his sake ^^. He'll be excited when he hears about this update.

'Enter' to login - This was the way it was originally, if I recall correctly. It was extremely handy to be able to login without moving your hand from the keyboard. Definite "YES".

Bank booths - Don't care too much for this update. I'm going to guess that the overwhelming population of 07scape will give this the green light, but I personally like the dynamic of having certain obscure banks around the map that give the 1-click banking advantage. To think, Jaitizso almost had a chance of being populated again.

F2P worlds - YES, YES, YES. F2P and P2P PKing are worlds apart, each with its unique quirks, and I know many people who are aching to see this come out.

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with the updates that we will be able to vote on. I was fearing the whole "ofmg godwars was out this month in August 2007 develop it pl0x", but that problem has been averted, thank the gods.

On second thought, it'd be cool to also have Diango sell the edible rares as well for a cost relative to what they heal. I wouldn't mind if the Disk of Returning having a moderate cost with very limited quantity and it's use being to reset your Lumbridge home teleport timer to 0.

Half-full wine jugs kind of don't make sense, but hey. Maybe some people will use them for 99 parties as a beverage :D .

Original message details are unavailable.
Just a small change that would be accepted by many. Can we get bank tabs please?

Bank tabs is definitely a no-go zone in Old School Servers so, that's more than likely NOT going to be added to the game.

I remember everyone voting on the 75% needed and I agree and "We’re going for fairly quick and simple changes for this first content poll. We’ve not locked these down yet, but to give you a taster of our current plans for the features to be voted on in the first content poll:

Easter event – the 2007 Easter holiday event is re-activated to coincide with Easter this year.
Herb naming – unidentified herbs become grimy <herb name>.
Remove roof – a command to toggle the visibility all roofs on and off.
‘Enter’ to login – the enter key submits login information, rather than only the login button.
Bank booths – left click bank booths to instantly open the bank interface.
F2P worlds – still members only, but allows PKers to fight with F2P gear restrictions
"

YEY to all of those!! They do listen!
