I am somewhat surprised that nobody has come up with ideas for new prayers. (I only read first 9 pages so excuse me if someone has)

Personally runescape has been a game of pking for me since the original 2007 experience and before. I believe the prayers being added however shouldn't all be directed towards PvM or PvP members of the community.

If you add in prayers like curses into the game you could possibly just drive a wedge between players in the community, those who have tens of mills to spend on prayer, and those who don't. Maybe try to incorporate a prayer book that is to the current one as the lunar magics book is to the standard magics book. You can still incorporate PvM/PvP aspects into this book like having the vengeance spells in the lunar book but also try to, for the first time, incorporate prayer somehow into skilling. Idk I just thought of this maybe it's not such a good idea. Standard prayer book a lunar prayer book and an ancient prayer book anyone?

Good Job. It looks really promising. However, make sure to put into consideration steps 2,3 and 4 pointed out by San.

Also, I have an idea for the steps 2&3 that implements a feature like "sailing" and that can be used to train skills. A feature exclusive to Port Roberts and the surroundings.

This gives us literally endless possibilities! Please do not rush this and make the most of it before releasing it! Few ideas:

-Hunter Expansion
-Woodcutting Expansion (This really needs an update)
-New RCing altars
-New place to build POH
-New NPC's to train Thieving
-A Sailing minigame using waterfalls ?!

I could go on!!!!!!! I love this update!!

... crazy thought, but what if you named the new continent (or an area within it) the "Outer Reaches"? Would be an interesting way to put your name on this project ... :p "If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" - Bill Watterson

maybe new elven areas to build off of the roving elves quest, include new quests like "forest recluse" (a search for the elven kingdom), aiding the throne (the kingdom is in dire trouble due to the threat of a rogue elven general) new ranger items such as crystal vambraces, elven amulet(mage), mage variant of crystal shield, maybe golden elfish armours, a new magic spell book to incorpororate all the new areas the elven and others for teleports, a sword and bow set that is the main interaction with elven spells. like handles or grips that use a spell to summon a weapon for a duration of time depending on the handle or grip type and the spell level. new monster throughout the forests and kingdom, new dungeon and bosses for the weapon grips and golden armours?. this is just a quick thought that came to mind when i seen the expansion post. please give me more ideas or help make mine work better for the medieval settings of ors 10 year veteran (one year on first account, 9 years on current account) :)

wow, I didnt expect so much support for this!
I am definitely voting for this, new areas to explore have always been my 'priority'.
also, maybe you don't have to have as many servers as the players are more spread!

what I want to see in the new continent is:
- good skilling spots
- new bosses
- dangerous places (like barbarian village is for lvl 3's :P )
- eastern style stuff (like someone else said, the bolt rack seller in port phasmytas was eastern)

but above all: don't rush it too much! we want to see new stuff and all, but it also has to look nice imo.

good luck!
