My congratulations to the OP for creating a comprehensive, well-organized, and greatly detailed thread! Nicely done. :)

I do not have any real disagreements with any of your suggestions. I will say that in general I have little to no interest in minigames.

The points upon which I most strongly agree are:

- raising the F2P cap on member skills to level 20 (except Invention, of course). Level 5 is too low to get any real appreciation for the potential of these skills.

- expansion of the F2P world where it makes sense, particularly Taverley Dungeon. I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^

@Seasons Past:

I think treasure trails need a refresh to include beginner clue scrolls just for f2p. Just to report on my analysis and take ideas that are free to play and basing off in RSOS Treasure Trails.

Simple Clues can be both a beginner and an easy clue scroll. So it can overlap. In total, there are 72 simple clues, while free to play has 44 versus member has 28. For an estimate, 60% of the clues are in the f2p area. If Brimhaven is added to the extension, then just move 2 from p2p into f2p.

For Emote Clue, more likely beginners can have new ones to use. If it overlaps with easy, it is also possible. There are a total of 27 easy clues, of which 19 are in the f2p area.

For clues using maps, easy, medium, and hard overlap, and wilderness is in only hard clues. Add beginners; 9 clues are only in nonmember areas of the total of 22 clues. So assuming 40% of the map clue is in free-to-play areas

Finally, for the cryptic clues, 35%, which is 58 of the 92 total clues, are in f2p. If adding area in extensions, then 8 to 9 more can go to f2p.

For rewards,I think wizard-trimmed equipment should be for beginners instead of easy, which will use spider silk-trimmed equipment. Add basic low-tier trimmed bronze and leather equipment. A bronze cane and a trimmed amulet of defense would be possible.

If beginner clues are not possible, unlike in RSOS, then easy clues will be cool to have.

@Season Past, May I have permission to use ale and cider brewing refresh to create in a different thread, and I have an idea for a quest? I will give credit to you. I suggest ranger aid and alms of death (which is in f2p) should be brew-able with a melee type of ale. For mages, we already have a wizard's mind bomb.

- expansion of the F2P world where it makes sense, particularly Taverley Dungeon. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to read through.

Aside from Invention, the only members' skill I wouldn't raise is Construction. The main reasons are:
1. Relevance - POH is no longer the essence of Construction, thanks to Fort Forinthry
2. Mechanics - Fort Forinthry is more modern, smooth, and intuitive than the POH
3. Impressions - POH is permanently stuck with 2006 Graphics, rapidly building/breaking furniture to level up, etc.

Fort Forinthry is an all-round better version of the POH, so it doesn't make sense for the original one to be the introduction to Construction.

Would be interested in your thoughts on this if you have any. Spirit of Forinthry ~ Runecrafting: Magic Armour ~ F2P Extensions ~ Dragon Slayer improvements ~ New Player Experience

If beginner clues are not possible, unlike in RSOS, then easy clues will be cool to have. I have no opposition to Treasure Trails being F2P. If a clue scroll can be completed entirely within the free game, then it should be allowed to be.

While I don't know how the technical side works, I would imagine that scrolls received on F2P worlds could be coded so that they would only involve F2P locations, NPCs, items, etc.

Even if Treasure Trails remains P2P, non-members should be able to talk to Zaida at the Grand Exchange to get more information. Spirit of Forinthry ~ Runecrafting: Magic Armour ~ F2P Extensions ~ Dragon Slayer improvements ~ New Player Experience
