POSSIBLE BOSS CONTENT?


Maybe a little idea for a new PvM boss or a suggestion if I will, I think it would be really awesome if their was a new boss in a heavily forested area that takes up a good chunk of the map (maybe the size of Draynor Village)

What would be lurking inside this heavily forested area? Maybe that could be up to you guys.

Content for only the finest accounts, this monster would roam the forest constantly making sure that anything that came in, isn't coming out.

As far as accessibility to the forest? No requirements to go die. The real requirement is your skill with your friends to pillage the forest and take the monster out.

So, essentially you'd have an open forest that a level 33 with studded chaps and bronze med helm could be ADVENTURING runescape to come across his worst nightmare. It would be awesome because it would actually be a dangerous place that anyone could get rolled.

In terms of how hard this boss might be? Maybe you would need AT LEAST 3 people that are 110+? One would have to be attacking with magic, another with range and the final one using melee, all the different classes would be attacking a different body part on the monster?

Maybe their could be skilling purposes within the forest that yield a great amount of experience?

Maybe an agility course up in trees above the monsters forest? jumping from tree to tree and if you fail you might fall right into the beasts lap?

Maybe the new treasure trails coordinates could land you right in the forest? That would definitely make for some great times I think.


I love the idea of the new continent. Fresh content that is coming right from the community. Since the polls came out I couldn't be happier. This isn't oldschool, this is community scape boooyss!

Anyone who enjoys this idea to, reply at me and pitch in on some ideas maybe?


Nice idea and yes I agree :p

New Name: "Absalom"

It translates "Father of Peace" in Hebrew and was the name of the third son of King David. Absalom is described as the most handsome man in the kingdom. Absalom eventually rebelled against his father the king who had him beheaded while dangling after Absalom's hair became entangled in a tree limb while fleeing on horseback during the Battle of Ephraim Wood as retold in the book of Samuel.

You know, I've been waiting for an update like this for many years. After a few years playing Runescape, the game loses it's feeling of discovery and excitement. You know what's around every corner, and you know what's in every Dungeon. This is actually the first update in OSRS that I can say I'm looking forward to.

New Quest Idea:
I've been wanting a Fire-making Guild run by a mad arsonist that burns it down immediately after you've finished it for years now.
It would be hilarious to go to all the effort of building a guild with a mad NPC only for him to burn it down at the end of a quest. This just needs to happen HAHA.

Right:
Colosseum with Last Man standing Gladiator Fights : 100 ppl max. or w/e

Real uses for the construction skill outside of POH.

New Prayer Book - a lot of the prayers we have protect us from attacks/increase our own attacking power. How about prayers that are cast out of combat, like a prayer to cure a crop from a far. or a prayer to increase crop yield. that takes away prayer points (like 20 prayer points per cast) This could help make prayer something worth training till the high 90's as at the moment it's not really worth training it past 70.

New types or shield/armour/weaponry. It's an obvious one, but i don't know how you'd do it without making things already in the game worthless/obsolete.

New race's - Reptiles - Rhinovites - Atlanteans. (you'll have tonnes of idea's coming in)

New content relating to Artisan could be here (huge redwood forests, new fishing techniques/catches)

I think you should try and incorporate something from everyone. There will be a lot of idea's thrown about and it won't be hard to make everyone seem like they've had part of their idea's incorporated.

Aim high :) And good luck with this because it will be the biggest thing to happen to either version of the game. Ever. And with that comes a certain level of hype. Sure you won't disappoint. Unrext outttt :)

Also consider population control.
Why not aim for 500 people per world or even 800 people per world. You could turn some of the worlds off and have them in reserve so each world is busy and bustling :)


I was thinking the continent should run on its own server. So somebody from W301 who travels to the new continent will be transferred to the same server as somebody from world 342 until it fills up, then another server opens up.
That can be problematic if somebody wants to get to a certain world on the continent if it were to have separate servers.

Another idea would be to increase the max server size of 2000 to something like 3000 and take out 1/3 of the existing worlds in the process, considering the size of the map will increase by 50%.
Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.
