Generally speaking, most RS players like this every man for himself attitude when it comes to playing RS. For this reason people are willing to lie, steal, and call you a noob to get items by scamming or other unfair means (even if you thought they were your friend). What I have described above is not a RWT example, but of how low some RS players have gone to get ahead in game. But with the new updates Jagex has released in effort to stop RWT, it has given the player community a chance to turn into a little less every man for himself, into a community that would help each other even it cost one player a few gp's.

 

 

 

As of right now, there arn't really "unwritten rules" of RS, but with the new update one (in my mind) should be the first one. Jagex has implemented a new way items are dropped on death. This gravestone update keeps all lost items upon death for a time dependent on which gravestone you own. No longer if you die (except in the wilderness) can other players take you items. This means people won't root you on to die but instead my try and help. This is the first step in changing out community. My proposed "unwritten rule" would encourage players, whenever they see a gravestone, to repair a gravestone to let the dead player get their items back. I'm not saying wait there 10 minutes and watch the player get their items back, but I am saying take 2 minutes out of your day to repair or bless the gravestone in giving each player a better chance of keeping their hard earned stuff.

 

 

 

I know each and every one of you would want someone to do this for you if you died, and same here. So this is just encouragement to let tip.it not only be known for pwning in MSSW, but as a great community of players that would help someone they don't know out.

and yet you just wrote it down :)

Point Ts_Stormrage

Yay for the writen unwriten rule!

 

 

 

I'll be doing this

I can see where you're coming from, but unless the gravestone is in the middle of the MEP2 maze I think it's already easy enough to get your items. Heck, if I had a rare I'd happily be abyss RCing with it while reading forums without a worry in my mind. Tbh 4-5mins to get to where you died is insanely long already.

Well, it would be really nice if everyone did that. I would do it if I saw a grave . The thing is that there are some people that rather watch the person who died run to his grave and fail to get the items back, than just clicking once and loosing 2 prayer points.

I have level 1 prayer, but I'll carry some repair equipment around I guess, especially on world 99 :)

 

 

 

What equipment do you need to repair, exactly? Does it give exp? :P

Let them graves rot. Call it a silent protest.

 

 

 

Besides, if you get mob-owned, you deserve it.

gee, thanks buddy, ill be sure to repair your grave too :wall: :roll:

If you can find it. Last time I got killed by an NPC was 3 months before these updates.

Repairing a gravestone is just common courtesy. I repaired a few last night whilst fooling around on F2P. If it takes a rule for someone to be considerate, then they seriously need some social help.

I would most certainley repair someone's gravestone for them.

 

 

 

I don't really see why not to be honest?

How do you repair them??

Right click on them and select "Repair" (I think it adds 5 minutes) or "Bless" if you have 70 prayer (not sure how long that lasts). :

Besides the entire RWT crap Jagex keeps feeding us, these gravestones are nothing more than a generic hand-holding effort. If you die to a monster, your items shouldn't be preserved past the original 2 minutes or whatever that they used to.

Repairing requires no items? Does it give EXP?

It's an alternative to someone picking up your items an keeping them safe for you- that can no longer be done so instead they repair or bless the gravestone. If noones around, noone can repair the gravestone. Sure the angel of death keeps it for 5 or so minutes, but you paid 500k for it to do that.

 

 

 

Repairing requires prayer points, but no items. I doubt it gives EXP.

 

 

 

Bless it and it stays the full hour.

Does anyone know if buying a better stone is permanent, or does it have to be re-bought after every death?

Perm.

 

 

 

And you dont need anything to repair the gravestone, it just costs a few prayer points.. BLESSING them you will need 70 prayer, but it seems to only take away 60 to keep 10 for you for "emergencies"

 

 

 

And huta, some of the 'mobs' can farcast you, hitting mid 20s while barely on your screen while moving.., killing you within seconds even if you are gobbling sharks running

 

 

 

saying "you deserve it" is just ignorant

Thank you. Looks like I've got a trip to Keldagrim in my future.

It's 5 minutes now? Previously it was 1 minute and I couldn't get my items but a 5 minute timer is gigantic.

i totally agree with you. even before this update came out, if someone died, i would always give their items back to them. as you said, it is just common courtesy

I would repair a gravestone if only for a chance I might be rewarded for my efforts. In the event I am not rewarded I have some choice words that are fortunatly censored (I dont want to be reported) but shoudl still give a pretty clear meaning.

 

 

 

*If all the foul stuff is censored, you cant be reported. If you argue with me you can tell it to the J mods. I did take the initiative and get confirmation :wink: \

so these gravestones pop up whenever someone dies, anywhere, anytime?

 

 

 

or are there exceptions -> wildy death? bounty hunter?

One exception: bounty hunter.
