There are going to be enormous changes to the game soon. With the latest quest, I think we all can get the idea that something is going to invade Varrock. Who knows, it could just be monsters or what not.

 

 

 

...What if the God Wars were to engulf Runescape?

 

 

 

After taking a little time to consider how to implement this into the game, I came up with this idea.

 

 

 

___________________________________________

 

 

 

The Basics

 

 

 

When you start your day on RS PKing world, you will be forced to choose a side (Saradomin, Zamorack, or Guthix -there can be no neutral, aside from using a non-PK world). This will last for the day. Anyone who is on your side will be friendly targets and everyone else will be hostile unless they choose not to attack you.

 

 

 

You will then have an affinity with the particular god. Let's base this on a 30 day average. So if you commit to the Guthix side for 5 days, and then the Zamorack side for 10 days, you will have average standing with Zamorack, and mediocre standing with Guthix (and a negative standing with Saradomin). Also, it would be difficult to which sides if you have a high affinity with a particular god.

 

 

 

PvP combat would be based on god team v god team. Alliance to a god is crucial, so quite possibly the most important thing would be prayer sites for Guthix all around RS. Maybe Guthix could reclaim a few churches or a prayer circle south of Varrock etc.

 

 

 

Here is what needs to be considered all over Runescape *Both F2P and P2P*

 

 

 

[hide=Click to open]Oh - One thing to mention, these are just suggestions. This isn't all or nothing, some of these may be very good ideas, some may be severely flawed.

 

 

 

• A Guthix amulet (so that every god has some sort of amulet)
   
  Prayer Sites for each god, including at least two of each (initially) in the F2P area (currently they're only for Sara and Zammy).
   
  Only allowing a player to recharge prayer points at his or her specific god shrine (and upon death).
   
  The ability to change a prayer site from one god to another (via taking it over)
   
  Safe respawn sites unique for each god.

 

 

 

In addition to these, there are two more that require some explanation---

 

• Random events based on your affinity level to the god you're aligned with
   
  So for instance, at a high affinity rating, you might get a random event with Saradomin. I thought of special items that cannot be traded that last for 24 hours after being wielded or worn. These drops can only be used if your allied to the corresponding god. In addition, I also thought of random event style battle test. This would include fighting (or choosing to run away) a monster or one of the gods themselves to show the god you're allied with that you are worthy. I would expect good drops from these events.
   
   
   
  The ability to bless armor or weapons using prayer
   
  If you really want to read this, go to the bottom of the post.
   
   
   
  I know many people have stressed that 'blessing' or 'blessed items' would not work. Alternatively, rather than having blessings, we could utilize 'affinity points' to all PK world players, allowing for special random events, special drops and special exclusive PK World items (I still think that these items should only last for 24 hours). I just want to point out that the 'blessing' segment is not the hallmark of my idea.

Here are some things that I have considered for the F2P world specifically.

 

 

 

[hide=Click to open]Again, I need to mention, these are just suggestions.

 

 

 

• The ability to craft unholy and (the new) guthix symbol... should we call that the balance symbol?
   
  Church reformations all around the F2P world (The obvious spots would be controlled by Saradomin and Zamorack, but some should be swayed to Guthix)

 

 

 

Really I think that sums it up, I can't think of anything else that needs to happen at the moment.[/hide]

 

 

 

So there are many problems with this kind of update----

 

 

 

The hurdle here is that people will start joining game worlds and making the game play slightly unbalanced. Imagine, a group of people claiming that world 67 is 'Zamorack' Territory, and it's infested with 60% Zammy, 30% Guthix and 10% Sara. This will happen, surely.

 

 

 

It might be necessary to create de-centralized PVP Worlds. Right now when you play runescape, you choose quality, and whether to play F2P or P2P. I would make a whole new category for PVP worlds, and rather than choosing what world number you go to, you would go to the world based on what god you're allied with. This would even out game playing so that one side isn't in complete control over a world.

 

 

 

I also thought of ways entire clans can enter a world (without leaving anyone behind). For instance, limiting this to 10 people, maybe it would be possible for a clan of Sara allied players to go into a game (and everyone would be on the same world). There may be better ideas, but I thought of it like this.

 

 

 

Here is what I contributed for blessings. For the most part, it will probably not be added. I much prefer some of the other ideas I came up with.

 

 

 

[hide=Open if you dare]Rather than using prayer points (which one could imagine as unlimited), everyone on RS will have the ability to bless an item such as armor or weapons.

 

You can bless one item every 24 hours at level 19 prayer, two at level 39, three at level 59, etc 79, 99 being five every 24 hours.

 

Blessed items last 24 hours and the effects are RANDOM. Random being that, there are many things that could happen, but chances are, they will have holy attributes if they are blessed by a Saradomin user and unholy attributes if they are blessed by a Zammy user. Also- only three items can be blessed- your weapon, body, and amulet.

 

Potions (mentioned earlier) will be more discreet, but just like potions, they will only last for 24 hours once applied to the armor or weapon.

 

Some ideas for blessings

 

 

 

Body Blessings

 

poison supression - minus one point of damage taken from poison

 

melee damage supression - minus one point of damage taken melee

 

range damage supression - minus one point of damage taken from range

 

magic damage supression - minus one point of damage taken from magic

 

Sara body blessing - increased protection from Sara's foes

 

Guthix body blessing - increased protection from Guthix' foes

 

Zammy body blessing - increased protection from Zammy's foes

 

 

 

Weapon Blessings

 

melee damage enhancement - plus one point to damage using melee

 

range damage enhancement - plus one point to damage using range

 

magic damage enhancement - plus one point to damage using magic

 

Sara weapon blessing - increased support to Zammy foes

 

Guthix weapon blessing - increased support against Guthix foes

 

Zammy weapon blessing - increased support to Sara foes

 

 

 

Amulet Blessings

 

prayer bonus - +x to your prayer bonus (I don't know how much but it should be random)

 

 

 

The obvious part should be that godly weapon / body blessings would be extremely rare. It would provide a normal attribute, but also a random god summon (so for instance, if you're ambushed and you're wearing a platemail with a Sara weapon blessing, maybe an NPC will come to assist you for a few minutes or until it's dead.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blessing blessing blessing... Every week someone posts what if and the phrase blessing weapons/other stuff... We get you people that you want to be able to bless things, but seriously, after the 10th time, no need to repost that. #-o

i just like the idea of having teams and territories. maybe this can be its own minigame by itself. pking is pking. make alliances with whomever u like to.

Updated....

 

 

 

I have no clue what Jagex is up to when it comes to PK Worlds, none of us do, so these suggestions also come along with the speculation of what Jagex is about to release.

 

 

 

Anyway here are the updates -----

 

Blessings - I do realize that people have been talking about blessings for.. probably 2 or 3 years. What I need to stress is that it's by far the least important portion of my idea. I've shrunk down my idea for blessings- it had become an eye sore. (actually it's still there if you really ... really want to see it).

 

 

 

Affinity Points - I expanded on this topic briefly.

 

 

 

More P2P and F2P Changes---

 

If these update were to go through, both holy and unholy amulets would have to be on F2P, as well as a sort of 'balance amulet' for Guthix. In addition, I think those amulets should give an extra affinity point to their respected god.

 

 

 

Thanks for all criticism. Who knows, maybe this would work out better as a smaller PvP world. Imagine if there are 50 PvP worlds, including 5 of this kind.

bless you....did somebody sneeze? :P Yea its untelling whats gonna happen with varrock with that update later this month. No one knows what jagex is thinking these days.

Why does something have to happen to Varrock this month? It's a quest, you're blowing it way out of proportion.
