Firemaking should definitely receive some new training methods and purposes to the skill, people usually only train it up to 50 for desert treasure then never train it again. Also a new quest would be a great addition to old school,possibly the first grand master?

Achievement diaries are at the top of the list. I don't think we need a new quest right now, one new quest is a huge waste of development power unless it's going to be While Guthix Sleeps or something. Everyone I talk to is dying for achievement diaries.

Slayer never gets old, so that's probably the next on the list. I will agree with the last guy, slayer has been getting lots of love.

However.
If summoning could be proposed as the new skill, I would be all over that. Above everything else.

The biggest thing that OSRS currently lacks is end-game content. By end-game, I mean things to do once you're of a higher level, where the challenge of the game has leveled out and the only difficulty that exists are challenges you put on yourself, such as iron man challenges or skill goals. However, I'd say all skills in OSRS are repetitive, not challenging, and therefore aren't fulfilling or a great number of players.

Certain things on this list like a quest, achievement diaries, and just *one* boss are all very micro updates. As in, once the update comes out, the experience is short-lived and generally doesn't do much for all the players, like me, who don't really have much of anything to do in the game right now.

So I'm going to vote for anything I think contributes to higher level players, because that's what'll keep people playing this game after a while. Raid bosses are a good start, and I mean *bosses* and not *boss*. Dungeoneering had a great affect on RS3 because it gave people a reason to keep playing even if they didn't have much to do anymore. People just found it fun. So anything along these lines gets my vote.

I also like the new continent, which I think could serve as a nice place to introduce new skilling methods from Artisan that I'm sure the J-Mods would still like to work with in order to give people more options to skill.

Considering that the pkers and pvmers always get what they want, whereas the skills get the short end of the stick, I'd say anything involving skills should be updated. I can't recall a single pking/pvming poll that didn't go through, and I can recall all skilling polls (besides motherlode mine and very few items) not going through. New skill I wouldn't mind, as long as it was good, and I will always say yes to artisan, no matter how many times it comes around.

But if slayer does get updated, MAKE CO-OP SLAYER. All the "veterans" of Runescape will complain because they have nothing better to do and are completely incapable of adding constructive criticism, but immediately write everything off without hesitation. If co-op slayer does get added, there are two, simple things you can do. 1: do it, or 2: don't.

In terms of construction:

You used to have a massive community called PHFP (Party Houses For Pures), which was one of the most enjoyable parts of runescape. It essentially made training fun. When you introduced the idea that special attack would not be restored once you died in a combat ring, you completely destroyed the whole community. Initially i thought it was to reduce the xp rate but then you introduced NMZ into osrs?

Please shed some light on this issue, I would appreciate a reply or even better- reintroducing special attack restoration on death
