Very nice, it all sounds awesome. The bit about time trial slayer was particularly interesting.

Do you think that something similar involving completing tasks in the wilderness could also be done? Giving people a bit of bonus XP for risking their lives seems fair to me, and the wilderness is in desperate need of some incentives right now (ESPECIALLY multi-combat areas)

I think it would be supa fun to have a reason for going to slay greater demons at level 47 wildy*** :D :D

**-post cuz seemed to be skipped first time

You guys said you want to give incentives for PvP areas sooooooo

Question: Should we introduce broad tip bolts to be bought from a slayer master?

Wouldn't that devalue the Smithing skill? Bolts are one of the few profitable methods of training, broad bolts trashed this aspect of the smithing skill the first time round and will do so once again, why would players buy bolts from a smither when they can get bolts equivalent to adamant from a slayer master for far cheaper.

There are only two slayer beasts that even require a broad bolt so why would it be that level 55 and a quest should supplant level 70 mining and level 72 smithing for uber cheap, strong training ammo?

Wouldn't it be better to add broad bolt tips?

These could be added to existing bolts to create broad bolts, these tips could be sold by a slayer master or dropped by a slayer beast.
Ha ha, made you look ;)

Thanks mods for your hard work and support for this game. I like all of the ideas you mentioned, but there are a few more that would definitely make this game more playable.

1. F keys for pking. I know there are already hotkeys in place but i would like the option to switch them to how they were back in 08 and 09. If I remember correctly they were: F1 for inventory, F3 for prayer, F4 for mage book, and F5 for special attack.
2. An update to how the characters find what you clicked on. This annoys me because when I click on a monster I end up "dancing" with it for a few seconds.
3. Having a display on the top of the screen by the map that show your current hp, prayer and energy level. I know this might interfere in the screen size but even if we had small bubbles that fit into that area on the screen it would help out with pking and other activities.

Thanks for reading.

I like all the questions except having to trade in the party hats.. i think everyone should just get it as a reward. Also for the pvp worlds we should just have 1 highrisk pvp world because 2 would feel to empty in them. Everything else is awesome!

Thanks Mod Reach! :)

After some thought, I'm not so sure about the rainbow party hat. I wouldn't mind it in the game as an untradeable item made by cutting up the 6 regular party hats. This would act as a party hat sink so there would always be less of them in the game as time went on. I really liked how they were exclusive items that increased in value over time back in the real 07 days. I wish that was still true but you guys are making "rares" too common in the Oldschool servers.

I'm very pleased to say that I am looking forward to this next poll. That said, most of these improvements/updates look very very good, that slayer helmet looks BEASTLY.

New slayer monsters too? Jagex I'm falling back in love with you.

dont think there should be time trials though, no one would ever not do time trials if the minimum xp you could get was the same as not doing it, that's just free xp which adds up quick.

also no co-op slayer

should add some new mage robes to the drops of these slayer bosses :D
