Valalee City is a city base off England/Venice and is divided into north and south. North Valalee is a modern day version of the city it is very conjested with alot of alley ways and large building creating like a maze. In South Valalee is an older version of Valalee slowly sinking away into the ocean. In south Valalee is also like a maze where you will need agility/ Thieving to help you access secret passage ways and new areas. The 2 region are join by a Large Fancy bridge.

One of the thing that will make Valalee City amazing is the quest storyline between the 2 protagonist Miguel and Starc. Miguel live in North Valalee and his dream is to become the best detective in Valalee history and maintain peace in the city. Starc is a well know thief that live in South Valalee; Starc goal is to bring down the Scarlet Rose gang and find his brother killer. You will help them on their quests and help solve mystery and maintain peace in Valalee

I like the underwater city idea!
This will probably mean that the inhabitants of this city will be fish-like creatures with fins. Since our characters will need to use the diving apparatus and diving helmet to get to it.
How will you be able to get there?
- Via an npc who'll guide you to it?
- Swimming?
- Riding on an animal like 'Dive' in Pokemon?

I would love to see a minigame similar to stealing creation but I think it should implement the existing skill a lot more that stealing creation.
As an example construction could be used by a team to build different tiers of forts, which would require different tiers of resources such as wood and stone to be gathered. Ranged could be used to climb over walls with grapples, etc..
Even if this minigame would incorporate an "iron man" gameplay using as many skills as possible to lead a team to victory!
As for rewards: Maybe some tokens for which you can buy the illegal items mentioned in the Dev blog? Orsome new items which would be useful for the new continent. For example if there were new hunting creatures introduced, a reward from this minigame could be a tool used to hunt those creatures. Or in a case of new herbs or plants or rocks - new equipment ;D CAN'T WAIT!! <3

Can we leave ideas here?

My idea revolves around slayer

Create new slayer monsters(well, not exactly new)
The monsters will be more powerful variants of lower level monsters(like the mighty banshees except for all or most of the monsters)
These monsters would have standard drops. Some rune items, some runes, e tc
If possible they would keep their previous drops but just a better chance for better things(banshees are a good example of this they could drop better herbs more often and seeds etc)
These would require you to have 10-40 levels above the required level from the normal version(so people who got high combat before slayer cant start and get hundreds of xp per kill on every task)
I was thinking everything 50 slayer and below could have a buffed version
These monsters should have their own spots on the slayer log

The master will require 50 slayer and 75-100 combat. The master will only assign slayer monsters. Regular monsters will be assigned and the tougher versions may be killed.
10-20 points per task and standard bonuses for 10th and 50th
A separate set of task blocks will be available on this continent. Either done by quest points or slayer level with a max of 5 blocks(1 more than regular)
If possible, nothing assigned by Turael-Duradel can be killed on this new continent(for your slayer assignment) and nothing assigned by this master can be killed on our current continent

An alternative to this could be just a whole new set of slayer monsters that are on this new continent if you want to go that route but I definitely want a slayer master who only assigns slayer monsters(assuming there are a significant amount of slayer monsters and none of them are low level)

Sorry if this is a little confusing

A question about Port Roberts...... Will the gnomes treat you badly if you are friendly with the pirates?

And about the Colosseum..... Is this going to be the new NMZ, with insane XP rates? Or is it going to make dead content out of the Duel Arena and Clan Wars?

I think the Colosseum will feature Duel Tournaments and some variant of it, which were a pretty fun thing they introduced in 2007. It'll still be a different style of PVP though, and staking/white portal shouldn't be affected by it. "If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" - Bill Watterson

I would love to see this happen.

However, you need to find the fine line between "too extreme that people won't vote for it, because it's not Old School-esque," and "soon-to-be dead content." That tight balance between overpowered and overhyped. I'm all for this, and interested to see how things unfold.

If the main hub city of this new continent. Is going to be a roman theme. Why not call the land, Romanian's Republic or Romanian Republic. It would perfectly fit the seen of the land. Would the name fit nicely in fantasy terms, well. That's up to you to decide.
