"With this event, we will not only offer the original rewards but two of each tradable Christmas holiday items, and assuming you do not have any of the untradeable Christmas holiday rewards, one of each of those too. These include the Yo-yo, Santa Hat, Hats, scarves and Marionettes and Christmas Crackers. As a twist, we will not be giving out two of each party hat but instead, be launching the 'rainbow' party hat. To obtain this party hat, you will need to collect one of each partyhat,"

does that mean that they original partyhats will drop (blue, purple, red, yellow, green) + a new rainbow partyhat? or is it just the rainbow partyhat that will be giving out?

High Risk PvP and Wilderness Worlds.
As part of pre-launch feedback to PvP worlds, we've taken on board that there is a specific demand for high risk PvP and Wilderness worlds. These are worlds where essentially, it's no holds barred. The protect from item prayer is turned off and you are perma-skulled so anything you are carrying is something you would lose if you were killed. This should hopefully add more risk and more reward to those daring enough to engage in high risk combat whilst at the same time, hampering those who get away with 1-item griefing.


How about having a world where if you die, your untradables are lost and vanish

I hope the high risk worlds are like this.

You know what, I'm done with skilling to be honest. Done.

What's the point in training right now and take loads of time doing a skill if easier methods for crying little babies who can't handle the current ones are just going to be polled down.

It's useless. Starting with slayer, probably the best skill in RS. Why make it easier, it loses sense of achievement, and people who worked hard to train it at 15k xp an hour just get a slap in the face.

You slapped me with slayer, but it sure as hell won't happen with the rest. Time to wait for the easy crap methods we always had to come along.

Time to go stake and merch. Make money and make those easy methods easier. Why am I going to waste time doing skills now. Might aswell just wait and save hours of my life.

Love the path back to EOC old school is taking.

Hey - Rainbow phats for everyone!


PS - I was a huge fan of the idea of you guys consulting with us every update, and I loved your work and commitment at first!!

However this was supposed to be OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE and I was kind of hoping you would know where to draw the line with what you sugest and poll, therefore avoiding this GOOD VERSION OF RS we were able to save, to be ruined like RS2 was.

As a very old fan and player of RS it's heartbreaking to see it go down the same path again.


PSS - Would love a response from Mod Reach or Mod Mat K.

The only ones I'm thinking "no" to are the broad bolts and the buying of more slayer monsters. I feel like broad bolts would devalue other bolts and make a lot of people angry, and I also feel like the buying of the slayer monsters would be abused somehow. Instead of being a bonus that would COST something, it would end up getting you more points per hour or something. So no to both of those.

Edit: Also no to the bank chest in PVP worlds, we need a different solution.

Question: Why would we say no to ANY of these ideas? Implement them all, you guys are the
best
dev team anyone could ask for!

Why would *I* say no to any of these?

1. Because the slayer point proposal is new content in Oldskool based on Smoking Kills. Of course they are included in Modern, but one of the reasons I like Oldskool is because this content isn't there. I want Oldskool to stay Oldskool, not Modern Light. I MIGHT change my mind and vote YES on leaf blade sword, broad arrows and broad bolts, but NO to the rest.

2. Although I would like to see the 2006 Xmas event as it was, I don't want to see the additions.

3. I voted NO on PVP Worlds and GWD, why would I vote YES to something involving them?

I like both Oldskool and Modern, and play Oldskool for the nostalgia. Although I agree that SOME updates are needed, I am not for significantly new content in Oldskool. And that is how I vote.
