The soul of OSRS was in its low-graphics and its grind (not talking RSclassic levels though; I'm no machine...) - forcing you to work hard to become something from nothing.

Negating those elements (and hence venturing towards RS3) only pulls our sweet little game into a frankly embarrassing wannabe replica of WoW...
I quit when RS3 came about, because I didn't want to be forced into playing WoW.
I started again when OSRS came about, because I wanted to play RS.

As long as the things that are the lifeblood of this game remain, any update is a good update, be it an entirely new skill (although not dungeoneering, and CERTAINLY not summoning - which again, took a LOT of the grind out of RS, and so frankly ruined the game for me), an entirely new continent (which I'm very excited about btw, and hope a LOT of effort goes in to, in order to ensure that it is done as well as can be possibly done - this update has so so so much potential, and it'd be a travesty if it was done poorly, and nobody ends up really using it), or a whole new load of lore (because let's face it, quest capes are becoming ever more common; we really do need quite a few new quests, and an uber-elite masterquest would be really cool too).

I'd have to agree though: as popular as slayer is, it has had a lot of love recently, and other skills (in particular firemaking, because I mean seriously what is the point of training above 60?) really need some attention right now too.

Also imo there have been more than enough boss updates recently, and particularly with the ongoing progress of Corp, I really don't think we need more yet. That said, I like the ideas stated by people previously in this thread: a new boss on the new continent, and a co-opable boss in slayer, who you have to pay points to come up against.

Thanks,
Kempo.

EDIT: Oh, and as somebody else has mentioned: a quality of life update so that left clicking a full pouch empties it, would be so nice. Please consider adding that, Jagex.

1. A new quest - maybe if claws come back out. we should have 1 more poll then bring korasi quest back to counter claws in pvp.

2. Achievement diaries - maybe some mini quests for each skill? and grants a small amount of exp =( not really sure on this one.

3. Continent - im not sure

4. Solo boss - hellhound boss/ king bat/ giant ankuo/ tds/ addy dragon/ rune dragon/ dragon dragon/ barbarian king/ just some ideas that popped in my head im sure u could make something cool out of those. i have alot more ideas if u need any.

5. Raid dungeon- a dungeon u can kill GEM monsters for gems and uncuts , or a dungeon that has all kinds of monstters and it just grants u more exp and has an altar down there but not that much exp

6. Raid boss - make corps def less so some pures can kill it

7. Quality of life - a genral store u can sell junk items to for a little more then regular ones cuz sometimes i cant sell somethings

8. Slayer update - maybe a full slayer set not just the helm to make u hit more often maybe and give def bonus. or maybe a way to pick 3 of your favorite tasks so u have a better chance of getting them when u look for a new one.

9. Firemaking update - maybe with the higher fire making level you are the stronger your fire is and the hotter the temperature can make you burn less food. this would make players want to make there own fire instead of always finding the closest fire range to the bank

10. Construction update - maybe donation box u can out in your altar room so people who join other peoples houses to use the guilded altar for prayer exp sometimes people wanna show the appreciate it an wanna donate a little cash to the owner of the house this could allow them to do that without trading him

11. New skill - maybe a skill called "luck" or "lucky" a skill were if u are 99 you have a chance to c*it attack for 10? lets say you are 99 str and luck and u ags attack for a 40 it would also have a small chance to hit a 10 adding up to 50.

My list of priorities go like this..

1) Dungeoneering (as a skill, not a minigame or raid dungeon scenario) around the time, or before the key update, with no chaotics for rewards. Also it would be nice to see it implimented with nearly comparable solo exp rates (10% less maybe?).

2) Stealing Creation as it was with slightly modified point system revamp so the hammers / needle aren't as over powering.

3) Achievement diaries: Easy, medium, hard, elite variations for each area.

4) I'd like to see the barehanded hunting come to this version, imps are practically useless unless you see a dragon imp, no one really bothers with them.

5) Apprentice Skill ;)

These are the options that will be available in the poll.

A new quest
Achievement diaries
Raid dungeon
Raid boss
Solo boss
Continent
New skill
Quality of life
Slayer update
Construction update
Firemaking update

With the continent update, I would assume these would fall into line and would come with it:

A new quest
Raid dungeon
Raid boss
Solo boss
Slayer update

Would also quite like to see a priority poll for just our current skills to see which are the top 3 people want to see some sort of update/ rework for.

Some sort of co-op slayer update would be great. I know it failed the poll by a small margin but I'm sure if we tweak it slightly it can be repolled, like other things have been repolled.

There isn't enough interaction with other players on OSRS for an mmo (apart from bossing) and co-op slayer would help to change that.
