Been an ultimate since it first came out and never had a problem with the death system. In fact, keeping it the way it is is a great insentive to seek your ring of life, or eventually the defense cape.

All the factors you mentioned, game world reboot, unexpected game shut down (never heard of that happening), and item deletion are basically unheard of, or the player has ample warning leading death to be their own fault. Internet disruption is also rare, and easily solvable by using a ring of life. Had mine on since I could get it, and it's well worth the investment.

I see no reason to make deaths any different as none of the reasons stated are convincing. Moo

I would rather you fix gauntlet deaths counting as an actual death and clearing your items stored at zulrah.

These aren't bad changes but they aren't really necessary.

Don't forget – RuneScape members get TWO free spins a day instead of the usual one!

I perfer to gather my items from where i deathpile (zalcano) or prif gaurds right outside my poh rather than needing to travel to some other location not near my poh portal.. Uims know to remember the world they're on. these changes sound inconvenient and unnecessary.

Great change.

There seems to be confusion in the comments here. The change just means your deathpile disappears after 60 minutes of logged in time (as opposed to 60 minutes whether you are logged in or not). This removes the chance of losing all your items due to a connection or server issue.

It also means your deathpile will appear on any world too. While this element technically makes it slightly "eaiser", I wouldn't say the gamemode is considered hard because we have to write down world numbers for deathpiles... So I don't think this change really affects the spirit of the ultimate challenge.

If I ever deathpile (e.g. before going into the wildy) then it does always play in the back of my head that if there was some wifi / server issue that lasted an hour then I would lose all my items. So it would be an extremely welcome change that I hope is implemented soon!

Just stumbled upon this proposal. This would be a great change, 60 minutes of logged in time would be useful in the event we DC for longer than an hour. I support!
