Wouldn't a new continent already have multiple things in it already? For example wouldn't it have a couple new bosses, some slayer monsters, quests, and various new resources to help update many skills.

All this of course if it isn't just a big flat piece of land with like 2 towns in it which I doubt is the case.

My biggest priority updates for old school (not in order) are:

1. Old School adventure log

2. Photo booth so we can actually look like an 07 character on our adventure log not a glitched rs3 version on the adv log.. (if an 07 adv log isnt possible then try and make it so the photo booth and at least have your 07 avatar added to the rs3 one..)

3. Our own styled layout forums. (either have our own special website seperate from rs3 to have the actual old school design like back in the day,.. or make it so when you at least click on the current link that anything old school related has an old school forum design to it, only on the forums relating to old school)

If that last part made sense..


will think of more priority updates in more posts.. there was actually more I think..... But I forgot what those were..

All of the options are attractive, it would be nice to see some quest finales, such as Fairy Tale III introduced.

I fear, however, the the great mass of "we want more power to PK", and "give us better bonuses" lobby will win any poll - going by recent poll results.

I think we can forget any new skill unless it is an aid to combat, or at least offers something that doesn't offend the specialists and fighters, thus it is likely to be a nerfed skill - pointless to pursue.

u can add that fm quest with the beacons if u want a fm update


The All Fired Up minigame could be an interesting alternative FM method. XP could be given based on logs used + time to light all beacons? This would be interesting because of the various possible routes one can take to each beacon. A metagame would certainly develop, as players would try to find the most efficient method to light the beacons.

Construction will be all of my priorities on this poll.

It's always been my favorite skill, it's what caused me to subscribe in the first place in 06, and since 07 an update for it has been discussed... for years an update to con was asked for, discussed, planned, and always eluded us.

After Love Story a big con update was finally put on the schedule for the following year. The following year we waited and asked and waited and there was silence. Another year followed with the same result. Then finally a list of priorities was released outlining the next year after that and having construction update in the "and beyond..." category! Another couple years have followed and to date the last I heard RS3 wants to do some crazy ambitious new-world idea involving construction (expanding it to some year-long project if it ever even gets off the back burner) instead of updating it with relevant new content. Indeed it's fair to say that one of the reasons I left RS3 was the treatment of construction. TBO renaming world 31 to Gilded Alters instead of House Parties was the last straw, as if it were an official stamp of deadness placed firmly upon the prospect of construction ever getting the love it was promised. (I use the word 'promised' loosely and the word 'love' because of Love Story, which WAS awesome but people outside of the discussion thought it was also the con update we were all talking about.)

Meanwhile, back in old-school, construction is as it was released in 06. But it's still better than in RS3, and there's a chance it won't be for another five years the skill that time forgot. Those that love construction as I do have literally years of constructive ideas for the skill and I would love to see our game as it has already done in so many ways flatly beat RS3 to the punch.
