Well with in the new PvP updates discussion, Jagex said that 1% would be safe. Here's a small (okay, i lie, it's 70kb) world map, and i drew in 1% of it in red over lumbridge. Unless Jagex includes dungeons etc. in the 100% thing, this seems rather small.

EDIT: Seems that my maths is an epic phail.

FAIL JIMMY you resized it to 1% by 1%, meaning that red square is actually 1%^2, or 0.01%.

 

 

 

you should have resized it to 10% by 10% which would make the red square 10%^2 or 1%.

 

 

 

I did it for you :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

note that this is 10% includes the black areas and whatever so it's actually about 50% smaller

 

 

 

but I think that by 99% they simply meant "most of the world"

Bob's right, i'm wrong.

I'm hoping Edgeville, to have Pk'ing inside Edge bank would be a joke. :wall:

 

Possibly all banks :?: Not sure if banks make up 1% of the map or not, it'll certainly be interesting seeing how JaGeX handle the situation nearer the time! :D

lumby will be safe area.

 

atleast I hope it will be as it was safe area back in the days when you could pk anywhere on classic..

 

Bad memories :( Trying to smelt my copper and tin to bronze bars and the trying to run to varrock and bank them.. got killed 7 freaking times on the way.. made me cry :(

Wow, hard to imagine Rs like that. I don't really see the need to bring back old style PvP, but I guess people arn't happy with BH/ClanWars. At least JaGeX are keeping PvP to certain worlds :)

Lummy should be a safe area as mentioned, maybe banks and grand exchange will be covered to?

 

 

 

hopefully duengeons will be pvp, that way clans could "own" duengeons which would be awesome lol

Kinda reminds me of Pk'ing in Edgeville dungeon, those were the days :D

I bet by that 1% they mean all banks...

I think they were estimating on the 1% spot. They didn't ACTUALLY mean that. ;) To be honest, I think they're going to include banks, Lumbridge castle, the Grand Exchange, boss areas, and teleport/spawn locations, so people don't spawn camp.

I think it's probably all of the respawn points and all of the banks, including the Grand Exchange, and routes from every respawn point to the nearest bank. I don't think that Jagex intended us to look into that number so closely, they just mean a very small portion.

The little red square I drew in was 1%. I know that because I took the origional, resized it to 1% and colour it in red, then pasted it back on the origional over lunbrigde, which is where I think the safe place will be.

 

 

 

However, the world map doesnt show any dungeons, so the area's probably a lot bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

And I think Killer might be right tbh, It's not like jagex have ever been 100% right.

to be honest I think only respawn points will be safe and mabey certain duengeons. becuse if you need to bank just log and bank and come back.

As other people have said, its most likely banks. You wouldnt want someone to barrage you then turn around and pull out another inv of sharks :wall:

Lumby, GE & Banks.

I hope there is someone in all banks that can teleport you around the different banks. If not, how would pures survive walking half way across the map.

Lumbridge spawn area will be safe, along with Banks.

It looks like it'll be Lumbridge. I'm kinda scared now seeing as anybody can kill me easily, so it looks like I'll be avoiding those worlds! :ohnoes:

The 1% area shown is still inaccurate.it's 99% of the world. The world does not include those black blank areas you have within the map :)

 

 

 

But I'm not bashing ya for it. With the new calculation from bobthesock, you can see that the area would be enough to hold the GE/banks etc.

 

 

 

What I was thinking would be cool, is that for those PvP worlds, they make the spawns within the banks themselves. Like have a teleport taking you from any of the banks dotted around runescape. Then you will spawn into a safe area (banks should be a safe area tbh) Would also eliminate clans spawn camping :D

I sent a query, they said that by 99% they meant msot of the world, but the calculations defiantly arent going to be more than 5% safe of the runescape world. Banks and stores are defiantly going to be safe- ge also, defiantly. that covers 1-5%.

 

 

 

question answered.

banks and shops will be safe

The ge. And most banks,some might not be safe like the mage arena one in the wild.

I'm guessing: Lumbridge area - bank buildings - Grand Echange.

 

We might get a few more safespots, like maybe guilds and mini-game areas. You never know, Jagex might even make quest-specific areas non-PvP so that annoying PKers won't kill questers.

Poh obviously. Minigames too, and probably boss monsters as well as certain quest areas. You don't wanna have to worry about pk'er while doing MEP2 or that new Master Quest.

quest areas and those areas will msot likely be PvP- if people want to do the quests, tehy'll go on a non-PvP world.

 

 

 

So obvious!

I wonder what monster hunting would be like in pvp worlds... obviously very dangerous, but probably not too crowded hehe. If there are some LS pvp worlds I wouldn't be surprised to see teams of people doing bandos in welfare gear in a pvp world due to the enormous crowds in non-pvp.
