One ring per hand sounds reasonable. But you shouldn't be able to use two of the same ring to double the bonuses, e.g. wearing two berserker rings for twice the strength bonus.
This could be done in the same way as it's been done with ammo - ranged strength bonus of let's say arrows doesn't stack with e.g. throwing knives (arrows/ bolts bonus is cancelled once a throwing weapon is equipped) ;)
@ LordOfVoid's post... Some good ideas there, but I don't think that 2 bracelets slots are necessary, since they count as gloves and there is only a very limited selection of bracelets anyway.

I must say that i've though about similar issue, that there is simply too many good rings to wear.
I also like the idea of 2 rings, with limitation of that you can't wear 2 of the same rings at the same time for double bonus.
How about making difference between a ring that gives combat bonus of somekind and forementioned "support"-ring?
One slot for each ring would be very nice and helpful in my opinion.

Great idea. I'd love to actually be able to wear that Ring of Wealth without having to sacrifice my Warrior Ring for it. :)
I'm also with the idea of wearing up to two rings, and with the idea that you couldn't wear the same ring twice. Otherwise double Ring of Wealth would result in quite a probability boost to rare drops, and two imbued Onyx Rings would result in huge Attack, Defence and Strength boosts.
Support! ^_^

I totally agree, it's time to have two rings.
However, i would refrain from duplicate rings or any stacking of abilities. So no 2 kuradals rings for a +8 dmg bonus, or 2 imbued zerker rings.
Perhaps make a distinction between a combat ring and a utility ring?
This would keep the powerboost in check and provide people with handy teleports or slayertask checks, or dust of their rings of pover.. i mean wealth.
2 rings is great and not too much overpowered mostly it just saves 1 inventory space wich would be a welcome gift for any runescaper.

welll nice idea 100% support for 2 ring (one in each hand), but just two (omg who say 10!!!), and i support that i shouldnt be the same ring in the 2 hands, and this should be in the suggestion - item forum not here (i think)....

Since this thread is feedback about the new(ish) slayer update giving us an addition to the plethora of rings we already have, it belongs in recent updates (for now). The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, Fulton, and the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Full Support.
As far as i can see, we have 2 hands and they both have fingers, otherwise we wouldn't be able to wield a sword and a defender. And i think the gloves pretty much tell we have 5 fingers on each hand too...
Anyways, i think that 2 rings would be a good idea. For a long time, that was something i always wanted to see in runescape(along with belt slots).
Most RPGs we see allow people to use 2 rings anyway... I can't see a reason as to why runescape should be different.
But More than 2 rings would be overkill.
Also, discard the effect of one ring if the 2 are the same will be necessary too. It would be overkill if people used to imbued zerker rings...
