Best way to maintain current accounts while also having iron-man usage would be to make separate servers for non iron man, world 400-410. Yeah, splitting the community yet again but otherwise it'd be a hassle. (Unless, of course, you actually can log in and chose your iron man mode acc or regular acc every time you login)

I really don't like the idea of Corporeal Beast but I certainly don't want sigils. Why can't we have some original ideas instead of copy and paste updates from Runescape 3? Unfortunately Corporeal Beast will most likely pass but can we at least of some fresh drops? I know sigils did not kill Runescape but I feel like Old School can evolve into a completely new game for those of us that did not agree with the direction the first version took. Just my opinion.

I am completely against Iron Man mode. It's so dumb. Why should they have a special account? Iron Man is just a way to play the game, you just don't trade others or loot their drops. How hard is that?

I don't train my defence, it is level 1. Could there be special accounts where the defence skill is locked from accidental levelling? Could there be a skiller mode where all combat skills are locked? No? Why have an Iron Man mode then?

Seriously this is a joke of a poll question, 99% of the players won't benefit from this. In theory this mode has existed since the start of RuneScape. Why such a big fuss about it now?

This is a MMOR*G, one of the M's stands for multiplayer. Without trading or player interactions it's a one player game with a chat room underneath it.

Ugh, I voted yes for Ironman.
But seriously. Why all the stupid restrictions?
Restrictions from minigame teleports? Restriction from solo minigames?
I get the shop restriction, but other than that - this is getting really stupid. Save all the other restrictions for the Ultimate ironman mode.

Also, it says you HAVE to create a new account to be able to play the new ironman mode. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why not have a gamemode toggle?!
Or AT LEAST a "reset account" button. (Which would require decent authentication I suppose)

Not going to pay another membership subscription just to play this mode. I hope you understand that. You're losing almost everyone at that point.

Actually isn't a bad idea, but how about changing it up a bit.

I don't think we need different worlds, but what if you could have 1 membership with multiple accounts/modes attached to it. E.g. If my login usernames where Alpaca, NameIronMan, NameUltIron. Alpaca would be my main mode account, NameIronMan could be my iron man account, and NameUltIron would be my Ultimate Iron Man account. They share the membership and only one account profile per mode. E.g. I CAN'T have 2 ironman or 2 main mode accounts.

This way I can login with any of the 3 usernames there wouldn't need to be any UI changes, separate worlds, or special state transfer npcs.

Although I strongly believe if they don't do something like the above they should allow us to reset our stats I would gladly make this profile an iron man account.

In regards to the minigame blocks I think it should be something along the following instead. I mean I understand the goal of Ironman is doing everything on your own, but minigames are fun and those items are important + cannot be obtained without the assistance of another player... so they should be slightly allowed regardless.

1. No EXP from any minigames which involve multiple players.
2. I have always hated Nightmare Zone so I have no problems seeing that one blocked.
3. Point shops should be allowed for most minigames since it's an independent shop.
4. Fight Pits should be allowed just take out the tokkul rewards this way it can still be played for the fun of it.

I'd need to look more into shops, minigames, etc.. for further info.

I don't think you understand what ironman mode is if you are asking why there are restrictions.

I would like to propose an idea regarding the issue with the Corporal beast and Spirit Shield drops.

I do understand that It is a little late to propose this idea as there has already been a poll on this issue. However, I still think that this idea should be considered.

Additionally, this may or may not be a unique Idea as it a pretty simple concept.

My Proposal:

The Corporal Beast will have a unique drop called "Bone shards"

They're will be a total of five shards, each will be a fairly rare drop and can be combined together to make a fairly powerful shield. Since the beast is extremely difficult to kill, each shard can be made into a weaker shield to be used until all five are saved over a long period time. (This is meant to be a very rewarding prize)

Weaker shields will require a lower level of a skill to create. (perhaps 65 or 75 Crafting or smithing)

The final "Corporal Shield" or whatever you would like to call it will require a higher level to create (80 or 90 crafting or smithing)

The five Pieces: Central_Bone_Shard, Upper_Left_Bone_shard, Upper_Right_Bone_Shard, Lower_Left_Bone_shard, Lower_Right_Bone_Shard

I propose that Crafting would be a more appropriate skill as leather could be used with a thread to combine each bone shard into the final shield.

Of course, this idea does not need to be followed point by point, it's a clever concept that can be made into something better so let me know what you guys think! :)

I love the Iron Man and Ultimate Iron Man concepts. What I don't like is having to choose to abandon my main character, play one of those forever, and never be able to switch back. It makes perfect sense for Iron Man characters to be able to become non-iron man but not reverse. However, what I would really like is if I could start two new characters - an Iron Man and an Ultimate Iron Man. When I log in, I'm given the choice of which of my three characters I want to play (or perhaps that can be a setting on the login screen). I can only play one at a time but this allows me to play different styles and not get bored with one. It also encourages more people to engage in the Iron Man and Ultimate IM challenges. The only cost to Jagex is a little extra database space to store the different accounts. I have to believe that cost is negligible.
