I encourage your participation on this topic. Mr. Pker!

Some of the spoilers focus on welcoming new players. They may be very open this fact.

I suggest for you also to express this concern on Twitter. It is the perfect opportunity as many others are currently jumping on that wagon.

For the sake of discussion, why do you think its dogshit?

Gielinor Gazette: March 2020 PvP Status Update: Here we'll go into some detail about our work on building a PvP vision. Fragmentation The Golden Age Welcoming New PvPers Current Status Our vision for PvP is still very much a work in progress, but we’d to share as much as we can. Our current PvP mission statement We will consolidate and unite the PvP scene to position it for future growth. The Wilderness is where emergent dangerous PvP gameplay takes place. Minigames and events exist to offer unique content changes or structured play which aren’t possible in the Wilderness. Competitive gaming compliments and adheres to the PvP vision, but it doesn’t dictate the vision. The act of killing players shouldn’t generate expected wealth gain in an abusable way. Onboarding new players is crucial, but not at the expense of core gameplay. Possible 'consolidation' content changes: Return of Bounty Hunter. We removed the content because of the level of abuse it faced. It will return with the potential for abuse reduced as much as possible. We expect this to be the earliest content to arrive, hopefully around the end of this month or early April. Removal of PvP worlds. With this change we’re trying to solve the fragmentation of PKers. We understand that PvP worlds offer hotspots with convenient fights and a desirable combat level bracket, and we’ll do our utmost to offset this by creating similar hotspots in the Wilderness. Restrict Wilderness access to specific worlds. Again, we’re trying to solve the fragmentation of PKers. Hundreds of game worlds have been added since Old School’s release. Whilst we could reduce their number, that’d have adverse effects elsewhere in the game by exacerbating competition for things like bosses and resources. Remove High Risk worlds, replaced by Very High Risk worlds. Dying on these worlds will result in the loss of all items to create risk-heavy and exciting opportunities. Moving Clan Wars and Last Man Standing to the Wilderness. They’re currently quite out of the way in the desert. We’d like to move the lobbies for these minigames to the Wilderness, like when Clan Wars was introduced to RuneScape. The lobby would be a safe area, reachable via teleport, and likely positioned to the west/south west of the Graveyard of Shadows. Our intention is to create a new hotspot of activity in the low-level Wilderness. Resolve Last Man Standing quality issues. We’d like to remove the buy-in fee for the competitive game mode. We don’t think it’s necessary now that we’ve added a permanent High Stakes variant. We’d also want to reduce the number of F2P Last Man Standing worlds. We’re also investigating content changes to prevent ‘boxing’ from occurring during games. Redesigning Wilderness bosses. We’re not happy with the quality of Wilderness bosses such as Callisto, Vet’ion and Venenatis. We’d like to give them actual mechanics and relocate them to suitable areas. We envisage a winding series of tunnels and chambers connecting the bosses with various cave entrances in the Wilderness overworld. Increasing the challenge offered by the bosses would also pave the way for buffing the drops and rewards offered. W45 Deadman. Honestly, we’re not sure what to do with the Permanent Deadman world. We’d like to run a poll on W45 to gauge player opinion on how best to proceed. We’re open to resetting the game world (either once, or on a regular basis) and exploring cosmetic incentives or additional XP increase for continued play across resets. Wilderness PJ timer. We understand that lone PKers would likely want a Wilderness PJ timer added to single-way combat areas, whereas PKers in clans might prefer it to remain as it currently is. We’re open to implementing one, whether in the whole Wilderness or just certain areas. Last Man Standing queueing. We’d like to investigate whether we can queue players for Last Man Standing games, so that they can wait to join games whilst going about their ‘Scaping elsewhere in the game world. It wouldn’t be possible to do cross-world queueing, so we’d only implement it for themed worlds. Wilderness Safe Respawn Area. To make it more convenient to return to persisting fights we’d like to add an option to respawn in the Wilderness, likely in the Clan Wars lobby. Possible 'growth' content changes: Onboard new PvPers. We’d like to introduce a tutorial-type piece of content for players who are new to the Wilderness or minigames like Last Man Standing. We’d focus on introducing players to concepts like switching gear, attack styles, and prayers. Temporary Deadman events. We’d like to run regular Deadman Permadeath (you might call this the Final Hour) events, which are based on the short Deadman betas we’d run prior to our live broadcasts. This would precede the full return of Deadman. New Clan Wars features. We’d work with clan leaders to identify valuable features and changes to add to the minigame. New Last Man Standing features. Adding new maps and new account load-outs to Last Man Standing to increase the appeal and variety of the gameplay it offers. New Castle Wars changes. Exploring things like shortening the match length and implementing team size caps, among other content changes. We’d work with the competitive Castle Wars community to identify the right features, and after any release we’d still want to offer a ‘Classic’ Castle Wars experience on themed worlds. Wilderness Clans features. With the release of the Clans system we’ll explore whether there are any features we could implement to incentivise clan versus clan gameplay. Wilderness expansion. We know there are various parts of the map that players would like to see expanded, like the Desert, but we’re also very keen on expanding the Wilderness and increasing the amount of content offered. Competitive PvP program. Establishing a competitive program will include any return of Deadman, as well as structured esports. Community PvP program. Empowering the community to operate their own events with prizing and structure, like always-on Clan Wars ladders or bespoke tournaments. What's Next We’ve shared as much insight as we’re able, but it’s your feedback that will guide and finalise the changes we’ll make. Once decisions have been made, we’ll compile a backlog and development roadmap which we’ll share with you. These changes won’t happen overnight. We’re going to prioritise the consolidation changes whilst designing the growth changes. In the interest of transparency, this is not going to be an instance where we divert every Old School resource to working on PvP. Some changes will arrive soon, whereas others, like the Wilderness expansion, will be much further in the future.

I don't know why you keep trying to deny your identity

Its okay, Rly.

Imagine replying to me still. You made over ten accounts on Sharkbrew to defend IR. Only to leave them in the end. LOL.

Definitely not today. He spent countless hours defending IR only to give up on them on the end. On top of that, to admit that his clan was failing on a public forum section. Kid needs to take a break from the Brew.

@Eevee

It definitely is you.

What a laugh to find out this is rly. Imagine, trying to dick ride rage after Jizzle kyp'd you multiple times. You have no spine. LOL.

Nah, you're just a joke who went on multiple hiders to post my irl to get my attention. lmfaoo

Your energy has changed. LMFAO.

It is you. This is a real unhealthy obsession. Imagine following me around forums for a straight year on multiple accounts. You're so weird. Focus on yourself LMFAO.

na, its you. LMFAO. what a joke

Hi, 'Rly'. How many aliases are you going to jump from? It somewhat makes sense why you constantly tag me now. LOL

Imagine trying to be prideful of your previous clan history, when you all did was backstab & leak. Pathetic.

Nothing more than a leak that doesn't know when to stop talking. @Trav

Its hard to be personal with you about the IR rivalry, when I don't even know who you are. I don't even know if you're 3rd-4th gen IR. Supremacy got the last laugh when IR closed. You say committed but we all read something else in that essay of yours. If you can find logs where I said I'd close Rage, I'd appreciate that. I don't support the idea of clans closing.
