I'm confused by this point:
"Only allowed to buy items which cannot be made or gathered as a resource from shops"

Where would these items be bought from? What is an example of an item that is in this category?


I think they mean the general stores. You can't buy items people would sell to it. Only the default stuff like a bucket, tinderbox, knive.


Ah it all makes sense now. Misread it as
'only allowed to buy items which:
- cannot be made, or
- bought from a shop'

With the way they've worded it, it suggests you cannot buy items like runes from the Mage's guild (as these can be gathered as a resource, ie Runecrafted). Would this be the case?

It sounds like it's both. They need to clear it up. Now that you mentioned it... It does sound like we can't buy runes/arrows/weapons or anything that we can make.


I'm not against it. It actually sounds better like that.

I'm glad Jagex is offering a way for famous streamers such as myself to transfer their stats to the new ironman high scores so we don't have to start over. I've put in thousands of hours into my account and nice to know they have my back. I'm so excited to get my Ironman badge, as I feel putting "iron" in my name isn't enough to tell people I'm an ironman. Forget about level 3 skillers and pures, ironmen is the real way to go for those who limit themselves! Much resepct to B0aty and Iron Faux for creating the ironman way of life. If it wasn't for them DIY and ironman accounts wouldn't exist.

If there are any accounts that meet the rules for ironman mode we will look at adding them to the hiscores only if we can be sure that the account has been played within the official rules since it has been created. I'll be honest though, I don't think we will see many, if any of these accounts.



I think this is a huge mistake. The biggest reason why people will be attracted to doing the Iron Man Mode is the fun of racing everyone else to spots on the high scores in individual skills and goals. I know for myself that if anyone is on the Iron Man high scores before I even get to touch it, I will not even bother with the new game mode. I think many people would agree and this should be something that is polled. This could potentially prevent people from entering the new mode(which severely reduces the amount of money that would otherwise be in the company's pockets).

Thanks for reading.

I don't like how iron men have a special icon to go along with their name to make them stand out. A new outfit should be enough. Voting no for that reason.
Everything else yes!
PS, reduce the number of worlds to get a bigger community on each world???

- no minigames
- no pest control
- no BA
- Can't enter other POH (or use anything in it)
100% damage to receive loots (possible ironman only world without multi combat zones)
Fresh start for everyone because i think no one would meet the reqs to transfer as most people buy runes from the shop (rule mention below)


Also what about the shades of morton quest as it isn't soloble.

I believe what they meant about buying from shops was that you could only buy items that are default items(no player sold items). I completely agree with you though. I'm very excited for this update but allowing people to already be ranked in the Iron Man Highscores before the option even exists kills the idea for me...As much as it hurts to say, if we don't all have to start fresh to be ranked I'll be down-voting this one.

Yeah, I'm with you on that.

I loved the first week or two of OSRS, as you could see the top 10 on the highscores changing constantly. There's something cool about seeing someone with level 22 Slayer (eg) at no1 on the highscores

Corp HYPE!!!!! "When" Corp comes out the shield's have to also. People often forget that the reason why the divine was so op was because of summoning. The prayer drain is so massive that you will not have the invy space in most cases. The pack-yak was what made it work when you did not have to worry about managing your inventory, since you could have two inventories worth of supplies.

I am a restricted account. 43 Combat - 99 Defence. I chose to give myself these limits knowing the consequences. I still choose to go on, attempt to max the account fully without combat. Iron Man is a fad set by streaming. I honestly believe this is a waste of dev time. It is not what the community, as a whole, wants. Only a small niche of players who were popularized by streaming. God forbid a pure and their community ever gets addressed. Nor the level 3 skillers or unique trophy builds as myself, we do not hold the rights to demands. We chose this play style.

I am voting yes. This is for one and one reason only. "Toggle off" iron man. These players have the choice to call it quits and continue their progress, rather than quitting the game itself. I've seen a lot of people follow my defence record. Only 2 of the 1,000+ made it. Those 2 players are no longer 43 combat. I would not be surprised if the rest of the community bashes ironman at poll though. I will wait and see.

With all this said. If you're willing to address unique and fad communities, why don't you address skillers? Never once in the history of the game have unique builds been a priority. QUESTION: If completion and max capes are ever introduced for the true elites of runescape, is a "max skiller" cape possible? To keep other unique player builds, such as myself happy, allow any level combat to wield these. The only players who would really benefit from these are the skillers anyhow. If you're a main who has maxed all non-combats, you have likely maxed combat as well. If they so wish, it's a third cape for them to have access to :)
