PROS:
-Would love to see a new quest or two

-Skill updates much needed and sound perfect

-Quality of life sounds good (more auto casts specified to staves would be nice)

CONS:
-Dungeon raiding and bosses sound horrible

-The new skill, While important, needs to be on the back-burner for a couple months.


SUMMARY:

First and foremost i would like to thank the Jagex staff for keeping us updated on unanswered questions. The priority of maintenance in existing skills and the quality of life updates is much looked forward to and I feel very open to your thoughts. I've never been one to enjoy questing but i find myself getting barrows gloves a second time doing many of the same quests. Old school players should not be threatened by new quests offering esoteric gear and my opinion is that you should aim quests towards offering better and new skilling areas on your "continent"-(admittedly no knowledge of).

I am VERY unhappy seeing dungeon/boss raiding on this list. It feel as though you are trying to somehow connect us to a dungeoneering derivative and i am appalled at the thought. When dungeoneering first released i thought i would never engage in it but quickly became addicted. One of my biggest hangups of the EOC was the change in dungeoneering game play, item use, and mostly difficulty. It took the release of this game to prompt me to rejoin after the loss of what i believed to be the best part of this game. Do not ruin my memories with your watered down dungeons.

*Edit*
All this talk of soul wars needs to go away. Pest Control is already in the game and just needs to be reworked to not only attract more players but perhaps offer slayer xp and elite sets.

- Any remaining quest or content from the August 2007 archive build (quests, ZMI, etc.)
- ^Following up would be the Varrock diaries, as they too were almost done when this build was created. We must discuss potential changes to what Zaff will offer in terms of Battle staves since the RS3 8,16,32, and 64 shop amount was created only after free trade was removed in 2007.
- Stealing Creations, or something similar
- 80 Seaweed and 40 Pineapple shop from Arhein for 2 gp each
- Shooting star; make use to that telescope in our houses.
- Soul Wars? (maybe for fun because it would be too easy for exp)

These are just suggestions for potential updates. Let me know if you like any of these ideas for priority in this coming poll. you say to make soul wars for fun but yet dont say that about stealing creations? Soul wars is not at all op besides being lv 3 pure for slayer.. what i would rather see is make it so theres only a 1k zeal limit so it cant be used as a way to destroy crystalmathlab users and for stealing creations it should be nerfed by half.. this game isnt about xp its about fun..People even say they found stealing creations fun and if it had to come to the game without any other option people would be ok without the xp.. I'd suggest nerf it half as its still a way to take shortcuts without actually training the skill as much which i find offensive that theres even a shortcut to a skill.

-80seaweed 40 pineapples would basically destroy certain money makers for certain people.........especially at 2gps each? I mean what is this 2yrold*cape or something people know how to make money now adays there older and their not stupid this is far undervalued and a crappy money sink from the game it should cost at least 100-250gps each if this were to come to the game as it adds convenience without picking your own pineapples/seaweed or trading someone and should be worth that bit extra for that reason if possible..

All the options look great, although I think slayer has been given enough love for now :/
For the new skill, skill updates, bosses etc, would these be done through the Player-Designed Content format?

Edit: What about the rest of the 07 content that hasn't been released yet? (2 Quests and the ZMI altar) I agree with u there on the zmi altar as there is no way of crafting blood runes and zmi altar was only way until the released a quest for a blood altar

I really love the fact how you guy's understand the fire making skill needs some help on and some more features as for the past many many years wel* the start of runescape it has had nothing else but to just burn logs to use your raw fish on to cook them but apart from that there is nothing to use the skill for so i would really love to see the fire making skill have something to do other then burning logs

Stop trying to fix what isn't broken...If Jagex keeps updating OSRS to bring "new material" it will be another EOC/RS3 in no time...I speak for most of us when I say we play OSRS because we like THE WAY IT WAS IN 07

Oh look, a loveable slippery slope fallacy.

OSRS does not mean ''07'', this game will progress in it's own way.

I'm in support of the new quest, a grandmaster one, preferably :) Also if firemaking was given a use other than burning stuff, that would motivate me to train the skill up a bit more. The new continent would be a nice thing added to the game because not a lot of big/massive updates have been introduced yet to oldschool so it would be interesting to see how it turns out
