Obligatory "new boss"

Support for Zez*** as local Slayer master

Underwater volcanoes would be cool, and there's a ton of potential for underwater slayer tasks and living underwater (air supply, water pressure, etc.) and sharks finally not being free food, how swinging a sword/firing an arrow/casting a spell is like underwater

of course, new teleport spells to get to some of these places, new spells in general (maybe shock spells? for the standard spellbook, of course. Earth-tier damage with a status effect/ amplified underwater.)

i would like to see something I'd call "max gear wildy pk"

this is long overdue

This has the potential to be a really good update to OSRS.

I think the Colosseum should actually feel like a real Colosseum with a grand entrance and everything, where players can stand around the arena to watch the duel tournaments below.
Hopefully it looks looks like the Colosseum in Rome.

Just and idea.. What if in the area of the Colosseum the NPC's and the area itself could have a
Mediterranean theme
, sort of like a Greece/Italy feel? Like vineyards, wine, fishing, etc.

i would like to see something I'd call "max gear wildy pk"
the idea I have is put in wildy volcano
but the catch is-
items are all safe, this is a safe mini-game
but the other catch is-
you pay 100k gp to enter

once inside, there will be multi and single combat areas, for your maxed gear pk likings

but why would you want to pay 100k to pk and not get gear

my idea is to encourage long journeys into the volcano
-you will have a price pouch that will fill with gp every kill
-first kill will yield idk, 25K gp? next will hold 45k gp? going up to say 100k gp per kill at the highest kill streaks

sounds too good to be true

well if u die id say the player will only receive 50% of the price pouch
and if u decide to make a run for it and get out alive, you will receive 100% of the price pouch

now, my idea of how much to pay to enter, and how much the player is rewarded may be off.
but I really really like the idea of being able to pk in my best gear and only risk gp.

I think a huge reason some players do not pk is because they don't want to risk 50m in items.
lets let players not risk their items, but still be able to pk for a profit if desired.

with old schools economy being tricky to tackle, i don't think we should reserve decent pvp content to those that are rich, or overly dedicated to their build.

i believe an update like this will give players a real experience of good end game pvp content. content they can go and try out whenever they only have 100k, not 5m for gear to risk each death.

also to insure long lasting journeys into the volcano, their should be a shop inside to buy food/potions for some of the players price pouch earnings.

jagex, even if people don't support, id think the idea of new pvp mini-games is great in general, but please make sure people will have a good reason to go play...

last thought, if this is implemented. i like the idea of adding some sort of mini-game-only pvp hybrid gear to this as a reward somehow

When I first started playing rs around 2008, the main appeal of the game to me was exploration. (which is weird in a sense, because the game isn't really focused on open-world exploration) I feel that a major way to compliment a new, completely foreign and unexplored continent is to promote, and reward, players for searching around for themselves. I love the idea of learning where important areas are, and powerful NPCs to become acquainted with, and on the platform of OSRS, this could be amazing.
I propose that the best way to do this is in the form of mini-quests. The only way to discover these new adventures, not marked on the minimap, is to talk with new people, investigate strange areas, perhaps even finding a scroll or some such item whilst fighting new monsters, pointing you in the direction of a mini-quest. Perhaps one might assist a military leader slay a group of monsters, thereby unlocking the ability to equip a unique weapon to their forces. Perhaps whilst exploring strange ruins you notice a broken tablet, with a cryptic message on it. The OSRS community would inevitably share the things they've found, and slowly discover the hidden secrets the continent has to offer.

I have an idea for the new continents name: Ignotus

It means "unknown" in latin, and thats what this entire new continent is about, to explore the unknown. I really think it fits great


Support for this. The word is fun, with a fitting definition.

I think this is an awesome idea! It really opens up a lot of doors for future updates and new content. I think you also have a really good grasp on what to implement with this, so I hope this turns out good! One thing I think you be really awesome is to put in new quests, maybe in future updates after the game is released. With the gnome navy, you could expand on the gnome quest line, adding in new branches, maybe even a sequel to Monkey Madness? You could also start some new quest lines with the new areas as well. And I also would love to see some new bosses and new monsters for PvM. All in all looking really amazing, good luck with the future design!

If this new continent is going to be so reliant on ships and stuff, why on earth did you exclude sailing from the pdc?


Because Jagex are a bunch of trolls.

sea trolls :3

I also think that if corporeal beast gets put into OSRS it should be added somewhere on the new continent. That would be really cool. And if the new continent brings an extension to the wilderness that would be nice, maybe corp could be located there if it does include a new wilderness area.
