In my opinion BA Should'nt be allowed, since its very easy to leech/boost. I can see people abusing it for the the gamble items etc. As for the other mini-games I think they are alright, including nmz etc.

Tbh I think having a title "Iron" and "Hardcore" would be better then a badge, I think that should be a way to identify iron man accounts through the chat.

I also dont like the restrictions from the shop, and I would prefer to have individual shops like it was on 2010 back when there was no free trade.

I love the idea of having an official iron man and ultimate iron man mode. I'd probably give a shot at both. But I'm VERY interested in the ultimate mode.

I like the idea of having no bank. I remember seeing someone doing this and calling it the "Andrew Gower" challenge - referencing back to the very early days of Runescape when banks only held coins. I think this should be the function of banks: to only hold coins and nothing else.

I think that one bank restriction (on top of the normal iron man restrictions) is enough to warrant the ultimate mode. Having no teleports and losing everything when you die seems unnecessary to me. Losing everything might be acceptable (except you'd better be careful about safe minigame deaths), but no teleports is a bit brutal.

I've been thinking about ultimate mode and I'm worried most about one thing: Runecrafting. The only feasible method I could imagine to realistically train runecrafting to 99 (as masochistic as it sounds) would be to amass tons of noted essence, either through NMZ or monster drops, and make trips unnoting it at the karamja general store then walking to the nature altar. I really hope buying this essence back wouldn't count as "buying another player's item" since it's really your own item. This could also be done as a food source, for example, picking strawberries that you farmed, getting the leprechaun to note them for you, then unnoting them at a store when you want to heal.

No minigame teleports would make much more sense than simply "no teleports." Please consider that and the issue of unnoting items in a shop.

since all of the spirit shields are not passing what are your plans for the other items you'll add to the drop table, since you said in the stream that if they don't pass you would add a brand new item in-game, any ideas of to what this item may be? and will we have a chance to vote on it to make sure it's not overly powered as well? but also will it be still worth killing corp for? i think it's worth killing corp even without the shields, as it has fairly good drops, but not 100% worth it all of the time.


Is this a serious comment? Lmao cannot believe you said corp would be worth killing without its primary rare drops. Corp will be dead content upon release if there aren't drops that balance the cost of supplies to kill it.

Corp with just its normal drops. Lmao lmao lmao.....


Sounded like a serious comment to me, you can keep laughing though. He clearly stated that Jagex said in a stream "if they (shields) don't pass you would add a BRAND NEW ITEM in-game" so yes, I think a brand new item - which would be a unique and valuable drop from such a high levelled foe - would make it still worth fighting!

...I'm personally devastated that iron man mode is coming. As many have said, I believe it's a way of playing the game such as lvl 3 skillers and 1 def pures, not a game mode in itself. Even though you plan on recognizing existing iron man accounts, I do feel that I have put hundreds of hours in to this account for nothing now. I feel like players who this update will not affect have defaulted to a "yes" vote, rather than a "no" vote. I think if this were polled to players it had an effect on I.E. existing iron man accounts, and people not currently playing iron man but interested in an official mode, the vote would not nearly reach a 75% "yes".


I completely agree! :)

As an iron man account who has been playing for a bit over 3 months, I'm personally devastated that iron man mode is coming.

WITH THAT SAID
I will be making a new account for the official mode, and competing for high scores. I am quite interested to hear from the JMods a little more detail about how and when the mode will be implemented, as it does seem it will pass the poll. As with Bounty Hunter, will it burst into the game this coming weekly update (as I recall on a Q&A stream that most of the groundwork and engine support was done), or will it be delayed a little while? I also hope that we will be able to trade on the RS3 side of the account, as I would hope to support this account on bonds. Any further details you guys could provide on the actual release would be greatly appreciated, as I for one would love to get as good a start as possible in the first few hours.


Only reason I waited with creating my ironman (well I did make it, but it felt so useless knowing there's a small chance it will be coming on osrs)

I do however think that an ironman highscore will change a lot.
I am quite compete****, but with rs07 it was just not fair. Gamblers/stakers/dicers transferred tons of money & got a head start.. With Ironman this isn't possible, so things will get interesting :)

See you on the highscores!

I know many people are keen on an actual release time for the iron man modes.

We know it is in the future but i really really hope that when you know it will be out, to atleast announce the time it will be implemented even just 24 hours beforehand.
Even if it ends up being a couple hours here or there I know it will be greatly appreciated.
I myself am looking to run top of the tables and have my first 5 or 6 hours planned very carefully. I want to be able to hop in as soon as it comes and at the moment i cant play knowing this is coming out so im checking daily for any kind of updates on the rs07 homepage.

i think this will be one of the best updates to hit runescape in a long time, it will give so much satisfaction to players that are interested in this. Stuff as simple as chartering a boat to somewhere will be a big deal for a while. I really cant wait.

Same here, with more planning to be done, see you on top page ;) but seriously, good luck, and its going to be nice to have a little competitive edge to the challenge, if nothing else.

was planning on playing old school iron man over rs3 but

"In game iron man accounts will have access to a unique outfit which they can wear while they are an iron man and there will be a separate hiscores for iron man accounts. We will no longer be offering a chat icon for iron man accounts after reviewing feedback from Old School players."

ends that for me, idc about a outfit </3
