Wow removed chat iron? Seriously? I'm not making an iron man. That's so lame.

No chat icon for ironmen? Stupid... won't make one then.

I really liked the idea of a chat icon for ironman. The whole point is to be able to stand out from the rest of the community. In order to do that I'm forced to wear an outfit all the time? Is this outfit supposed to go over the armor I wear or something? Is it even good?

I agree with these three. Why remove the chat icon? I don't feel an outfit is enough to be the only distinction between someone who has taken the iron man challenge and one who is just a normal player. It's not like people spend their time looking up players on the high scores. Why do I have to wear an outfit in order to show that I'm different. If not a chat icon, then something else. Maybe change the color of our name when we talk slightly. I don't know, I feel it needs something more. Otherwise I won't be making one.

Also the outfit should be +0 all stats. Wouldn't be iron man if it gave bonuses

"Question: Should iron man accounts have access to shops removed? This would prevent them buying anything from any shop in RuneScape."

Seriously, why is this even a question?
Removing IronMan access to shops literally makes Herblore, Slayer, Hunter, and Farming impossible to do.

Guess we'll be fishing with a small fishing net until we can get to the harpoon and lobster pot spawns in the fishing guild or until we can use the Heavy Rod for Barbarian Fishing.

Not to mention it literally removes items such as the Dragon Halberd from the game.

Many shops are required to get items for quests such as Thesailia's Clothing Shop and Fun**'s Fine Groceries.

I've only touched the tip of the iceberg on this topic.

Making content unavailable to IronMen without considerable thought has a severe effect on the game, and if these sort of changes have the possibility to be implemented, I will vote NO and continue to play my own account.

So iron men prior to the update won't be on the hiscores and will only get something displaying what they achieved previously, total level etc? Meaning they would have to create a new account to be on the hiscores? That seems fair but is that how it is?

I think that you should be able to have access to Pest Control, Barbarian Assault, Nightmare Zone etc. The purpose of iron man is to be able to be self-sufficient and not buy things from other players and more, but for PC and BA, you need players to help you so you can get content. Iron man isn't supposed to make you not be able to use all of the content on RS, same with NMZ.

For example, the imbued rings from NMZ. Why shouldn't iron men have access to these items? If they enter NMZ alone, there's no difference in that then to kill for example Dagannoth Kings for rings.

But in the PC and BA case, you need four others in your team to get the content, and in content I mean the gear. Remove all other rewards and remove the xp rewards if you wish for pc and nmz, along with the xp gained in nmz, if people wish that, but don't remove all of the content.

Herb boxes would be easy to get herbs from and potato cactus reward would be great so you don't have to run the way down to Kalphite Lair to get those, but you can get those items from other locations. You can't get imbued rings, void knight armour of fighter torso from any other location.

A rule of thumb would be:
* No xp gained from minigames
* Only rewards that are minigame-specific could be accessed (so no Tokkul from fight pits, no herb boxes from NMZ, no xp rewards from PC)

The Iron Man challenge was made so you'd enjoy every aspect of this game and stay self-sufficient. If there isn't a way to replace how to get those minigame-specific items, then you should be able to play the minigames JUST for the minigame-specific items, and NOT the xp.

Edit: I forgot to add a thought about shops.
Shops are in-game content which have been around for an extremely long time. You don't get outside help in any way (if you restrict access to shop-specific items only). If you would remove them, you'd have no way to train slay or herb. Sure you can get vials from crafting, but it's about enjoying the game, not grinding.

No chat icon is fine, I can deal with no teleports, no shops feels too much on hardcore mode. Every time I need a hammer... can I even make teleports in my house?

Buying runes is like groceries for me at the Wizard's Guild.

I understand where the restrictions are coming from and I feel a separate world for UK/EU and one for NA would be best.

Does pestle and mortar appear out of thin air, or can you get that with lunar too?
Where do you get your rake and seed dibber from?

Overpowered?? how many times will you see player walking with divine in wildy? It would make PVM easier but only high risk pk divine will be involved. Idk why you dislike corp.
GO CORP

Oh, I would love corp, but not with the elysian and divine spirit shield in this state.

And if you think they won't be used in the Wilderness or PvP worlds, think again.

Agreed, for example, if your max with a whip, fully potted with prayer etc. is 40, against someone with divine it would be 28 (or 30 if changed to 25% damage reduction, a change in 2 damage omg sounds fair), meaning you'd have to get close to max damage each hit to outdo the amount they can eat sharks. A real uphill battle. Also, everyone ought to take into account that those with the shields will be using protect 1 item, and be able to afford many super restores and sara brews to make them practically invincible on a pvp situation.

And then theres the fact that it makes pvm a hell of alot easier when kq can't even hit 30 on you. So yeah all this OP stuff will just hammer another nail into the coffin of these classic, symbolic, oldschool bosses, thus creating a vicious cycle of more demand for new items and bosses, and each big update is getting sooner to the previous because the community of no lifer's aren't sat*fied.
