Being a decent leveled iron man with my own Amulet of Fury, berserker ring, fire cape and all the other things that make these accounts fun I'm not interested in the new Iron Man mode at all.
I don't want to spoil the fun for everyone else but this account has gotten all of it's accomplishments because I had a very long summer break before I started university. Now that I'm in uni I'm forced to study at least 4 hours a day, making it very difficult to play Runescape properly. I went from level 71 to 80 fishing in a mere 10 days because of studying. Having to restart everything and going through the tiresome process of 83 hunter, 85 crafting, getting a fury, camping rex forever to get a zerk ring, doing barrows for a potential karils xbow, making money to get a crystal bow just doesn't seem appealing to me at all.
If the veteran Iron Men won't be recognized with a veteran badge or whatever I feel that even in 12 months from now my official Iron Man account won't be as good as this one currently is (not even 4 months old) simply because of the time I spent on this and the time I will be able to spend on my new account the rest of the year.
I hope that Jagex looks at the 'pioneers' of the Iron man challenge, the people that promoted it and made it mainstream and give us the possibility to get recognized in game. If not I don't think I'll be renewing my membership, nor will I be competing on the new iron man highscores. It was a fun run.
implying anyone cares
