Hi all. At the risk of being ridiculed, spat upon and called names I thought I would would offer my opinion on this. I am not a PKer, yes I admit I am a skiller, but only for the purpose of trying to make money. I've also spent a lot of time running laws, because I was supporting not only myself, but also my nephew most of the time. I thought when Jagex made the drastic changes to the Wildy on December 10, they did so at the expense of a large group of players, the PKers. I really do not know what percent of RS player consider themselves PKers, but Jagex really should have had something well thought out to replace what you lost. It was one of the main reasons you may have played. I also thought Jagex failed to listen to the complaints that were made, which is nothing new. Jagex just buried their head in the sand and hoped everything would calm down. If they had talked and listened to people it might have been better. Yet most of what they were hearing was not constructive criticism from what I read, it was more just threats of bring back the Wildy or I am going take my ball and go home. No one responds to threats. Things continued to escalate and people started leaving. There were mistakes made on both sides of that war. For those that left, the downfall of RS never happened. It is still here. There were other changes made around that time that affected almost everyone and not in a good way either. However they did for the most part get rid of the bots. Now there were those skillers who set back and said so what the Wildy has changed and the PKers are gone. Who cares. There were those people who did not have a very high opinion of PKers. Of the PKers who found me in the Wildy, I didn't have a very high opinion of them either. You walk into the Wildy at Edgeville and your immediately killed, even when you have nothing of value. If you do make it deeper and your not careful, you suddenly get attacked by 8 people. Where is the honor or skill in that. But those were the risks you took. So I can see why quite a few skillers could have cared less. The real art for non-PKers, was knowing how to move around in the Wildy and hopefully not get caught. To me that was fun. Now to move more to the actual subject, to me the creation of PvP worlds was a little silly and Jages should have known there would be immediate problems, all of which have been discussed in previous replies. To me they seem to be rather obvious, so you wonder sometime who is actually creating these updates. However it was an attempt by Jagex to do something to bring back PKing. The best thing I can see is to continue to communicate your suggestions to Jagex so that maybe they will make some logical and meaningful changes for the next version. Yet not being a PKer my question is what do people really want that is realistic, keeping in mind that a return to the times before the great change will never happen. Some people say they just want a really good fight, which I think you can do now in the duel arena. Others want more loot, fine. What ever it is, you got to tell Jagex in a constructive manner. Just because the first attempt wasn't what you wanted, maybe the next one will be better. The population in these worlds is always going to be low, because the only people you will find there are those that want to fight, either for the fun of it or for money. If what was said previously is true, most of those people have left Jagex. I don't remember the thread now in Jagex forum, but someone had a really decnet alternative that Jagex should have developed but they didn't. It was using one of the large islands of the north east cost that only gets used in one quest and there is absolutely nothing else there. It would have been much better idea than turning whole worlds into kill zones where people can teleport away to some distant spot. I hope the PKers do finally get something that satisfies them, for they deserve it. Jagex claims the are "listening" to their customers more now, so maybe you will. I have seen some really good suggestions in this thread and I hope someone is making them to Jagex instead of just venting in a forum. Finally, as far as name calling and labeling anyone group in a specific way, that won't get you anything except animosity. It just show how narrow minded and intolerant a few are of other people. Different people play this game for different reasons. If they like skilling, merchanting, killing or whatever, fine. Tolerance is a great quality that some people seem to lack. For example if it wasn't for the skillers, where would you get your potions, runes, armor and weapons from to start with. I believe everyone should be able to enjoy this game and they deserve the right to do so without being maligned, even skillers and PKers. :shock: But then I keep forgetting there are a people who play this game that haven't learned social graces yet. Peace everyone.

I tell you. A day of searching. 10 penguins found and I get 13k xp. I'm sorry but that is really a joke and waste of time. If I see one again I spot it, but searching like that never again. :wall: meer

What are the requirements to use the clan chats Penguin Hunters and Star Hunters. Is it strictly a private clan chat? I belong to no clans. Thanks very much meer

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it. :D

I have read the guides on several sites on doing this. Can a few people tell me how they did this? Also if you decide your armor is not correct, can you back out of the battle and change? If so where do you start the quest again? Thanks for any advice =D>
