It was the entire focus of the game at one point, you started Runescape to pvp, except for those interesting in wealth ( wealth mainly gained from selling to pkers ) such as bluerose, zezima etc etc. ( herblorist were among the most in demand ever, with super sets peaking at I believe 100k, equivalent today around 1 mil? - although I admit this was mainly a dueling focus ). Today however skilling has become very interesting, and the focus has shifted. And ... pking has become dull in comparision to its initial glory days. After reading over most of this, my suggestion would indeed place pvp as just another mini game, the serious buisiness factor will be lost. This is a huge concern, and I do not know how to fix this or invoke some risk / gain factor into pking without RWT and without it remaining dull. As a side note, I think activation for pvp on or off would be very fun on every world. You gain points over time for leaving your pvp on AND regular kills ( obviously you could only switch it on/off in banks ). And perhaps an end of week benefit would come of it, very interesting how the game would work after this addition. Naturally all items are kept upon death ( unless within a dedicated pvp / bounty hunter world ), and the annoyance of death would come with running back from lumbridge. ( Lumbridge campers anyone? ). So if you're against the initial suggestion, discuss the latter within this post. A bit of fun imo.

Big concern, why pvp when you can just do mini games, I agree. This is where we need to come up with an advantage, a ranking system is one GOOD suggestion, but I'm not sure if it's enough.

This is one of the biggest concerns i think

I never had any interest in PKing and I played the game for several years. I'm refering to rsc.

Ty :) You should make a blog :thumbsup: Today's work : Yeah working on the smithing lately, Figured I needed to get a start on it so it wouldn't be left to last. My method is gold ores with the gloves if you were curious. Also added a new section, my goal for while guthix sleeps. The reward will place my stats above 70 ( spending lamps on summoning ). Pretty major goal, will take prioritory over slayer for the time being.

EDIT - Read the bottom of THIS post. Since the start of Runescape, you played it to pk. Everything you did in the game and every lvl of a skill was to better prepare yourself for the wilderness. Jagex's unseen mistake with pking, was RWT, as they have brought in other means to deal with alternative RWT methods ( the GE ). And it's no secret that Jagex would prefer that pking did not exist, if it meant all RWT problems accossiated with pking, stopped completly. However, Jagex have kept pking in the game, as initially it was entirely what the game focused around. They have brought in strategies to "fix" it, however over time they have done more damage than anything. Being a HUGE pker, at first I blamed them, but I have to now accept the fact they have no incentive of bringing the old wilderness back, keeping RWT at bay is their highest prioritory. All this has been an introduction so far, to soften the blow. As it's a HUGE suggestion which I don't even feel comfortable with so far. And this suggestion would stop inflation, without bringing back RWT methods. ( As my ideal wild, is the old wild ). The suggestion is to ... ready for it .... remove the loss of items on a pvp death. Dealing in much the same fashion as WoW, pking for FUN. You get your pretty items, go out, and beat people up. I know there is nearly more ingredients risked than potential wealth gain ( unless at huge eps ). The ramifications would be insane, and because I haven't dealt with the wilderness in over 3 years, I've love to hear the mature community of tip it discuss it with me. Topics of interest are .... large. They are: Point of pking if you can't obtain anything? No loss of items such as whips and godswords ( massive price drop? ) Sense of fear, nervous-ness lost Huge amount of ingredients spent for NO gain No way to obtain money for pures created for the sole purpose of pking This suggestion removes what Runescape was once all about. However with Jagex's latest updates, they've already done most of that. Now please, give ideas, possible methods for obtaining a gain from pking without the creation of too much inflation. As I agree, most people initially will see no point in spending materials for pking without any potential gain besides the factor of fun. Such ideas include an individual rank you obtain by killing other players, an increased amount if you kill another player of high status or rank. In which the rank can be traded for xp / money (ouch inflation), and gives you a rankable pking status on highscores. There are HUGE amount of downfalls that I hope this topic can fix. However there are some positives, in which players can comfortably pk in their best armor (although this can be countered by not having any "guts") This post has done by head in, feedback time please. EDIT - What about upon death, your items are held safe by an NPC, which can be bought back for half price ( maybe even 1/4 the price ). This is where the GE comes into play with its first useful addition so far, as it could correctly price the items for the pker wanting to buy it back. This suggestion would definetly give risk to pking, as well as draining money out of the game to combat the large inflation problem. HOWEVER, such a potential loss would need to give a much better reward than what has so far been suggested. And I believe this reward has to be an item reward - based on rank or various other suggestions. If you have any immediate problems with this suggestion, post it. I'd like to see some huge flaws with it before I run with it.

I don't think actual players tested it, I'm pretty sure they used some certain players details to test it. If you get what I mean.

Fook that collage of top players is quite unique, and I remember a lot of them. The most famous person there to me is Ashley, very oldschool :P What site was that from? Oldschool tip it community?

If this is the case then there's no real point in obtaining them, apart for the few days of wearing costumes you'll never be able to wear again :P I do believe the initial poster, but I don't think I'll go get them, both for slight bug abuse, and because they'll probably dissappear.

Only downfall of accepting "resumes" would be the massive flood of them Jagex would need to filter through. And it appears to me a successful P mod would be one that doesn't apply, although that poses the question how they are found. So, how are they found?

I like this blog, we have similar goals so it's interesting to check your progress. Perhaps you could put your training methods down to give people ideas, myself included :oops:

I see your stats, but what be your goal? :shock:

Lol I'm on that list. But yeah, you do post a lot, I see you everywhere while browsing. I usually read and cbb to post :oops: On topic, keep going, we have similar goals so I'm usually checking this page out and a few others.

Wow that's gonna take a while :ohnoes: I'm following this to check your progress, don't slack off :P

This is a decent blog, though I do have a few suggestions to make it both more viewer friendly and more appealing for those checking it out. After replying with current updates on ur progress, make the neccessary changes on your initial post, that way, your followers can see all that's been occuring without browsing through the many pages. Secondly, crop your pictures a tad more to save on loading time and space usage. We all know what an rs screen looks like, so simply cut a small section out indicating the area of interest. If you need some guidance on what I mean, check out my blog, the 90 slayer section at the bottom. My drops are are smaller and show myself and the drop, all the info I believe you need. Regardless, good blog, and I always stop in to check out your progress. I'm waiting on you to go to the ge :mrgreen:

I'm doing a similar thing, though in a sub section of my blog. But I'm not as commited to clues as you, I finish my task before doing a clue :oops: Best of luck, gonna keep checking this :P

Exciting. Only two to go for my mini goal, I love it so much I might even aim for 99 :thumbsup:

Decent day, tommorrow probably a herb lvl and a farming lvl. And if I get bored I'll ding 60 summoning :)

Not bad I spose

Thanks hohto :) Always cool to see :mrgreen:

That's what I assumed also, though I think the original poster is asking the differences between the new and old ways of obtaining p mods. Correct? ( I have no idea )

186 Days over 8 years. It sounds spread out but I did take a break for 3 years between 2006 and 2009, so I still play a lot.

[hide=Dragon Boots] Epic spiritual mage task, first 5 images are linked. 26 / 10 / 09 Yes, all in a single task of 147 :) Wewt :thumbsup: [/hide]

That is awesome :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I got 99 fletching before fletch x also, drove me nuts. But back then, you actually gained money even after buying ur logs and strings, so it didn't bother me too much, and I'm sure you didn't mind much either <3:
