Just wondering if there is any plans to bring Bounty Hunter or the Wilderness back?

I have played this game for over a decade, and one of the main reasons my friends and I play is because of PVP.

I know that the Wilderness is still there, but it's just not the same. Back during the glory days, you would go to any PK world (W18) and both Varrock multi wilderness from lvl 1-8 (fog) even Hill Giants would be packed!

Now all we have is PVP worlds, which is fun occasionally but is just not quite the same. Since the removal of Bounty Hunter, my friends and I stopped playing. I decided to create a new account and make it membs. It was fun for a couple days, but it's not comparable to how the wilderness was.

There are several flaws with just PVP worlds
1) You can get attacked or attack a huge range of different combat levels
2) Nobody PK's in any multi areas - A huge reason as to why RS was so much fun was because we use to play as a group of friends. A bunch of us would hop on RS and pk together in multi on pure accounts.
3) You go to pking hotspots, like the grandexchange and all you see is a bunch of rushers camping the safe-zone just waiting for someone and then they go in, spec run away and tab. They teleport to their house to restore the special attack, and repeat... At least, with the wilderness they would have to run up a level or two, and you had a chance of TBing or Anti-rushing or something...

Anyways, I ended my RS subscription, once again. Just wondering if there's ever hope of Multi or BH or the Wilderness to be revived?

Highly doubt it. They've reworked it twice now (first Crucible as the original replacement, then the Bounty Hunter rework/rebrand), and both times failed. At this rate, it's not really worth the development time require to create contact for small groups of players who like something - this can be said for almost all minigames.

This is due to the playerbase mindset being vastly different from years ago - nowadays it's all about 120s/200Ms and the most efficient ways to gain XP or GP. Hardly anyone seems to play for fun anymore.


I still have hope that one day DarkScape will return. That was amazing.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
