    Default WOOOOOOOOOT - PKing coming back!

    From RS frontpage: W00000000000000000t!

    The most frequent request we have received over the last few months has been to put more PvP back into the game. We want to let you know that this request hasn't gone unheard, and that we've put a lot of research into how we can introduce new PvP mechanisms. The aim is for PvP content that better replaces the old Wilderness, but without reintroducing RWT.

    Hopefully, you’re already aware of the imminent Clan Wars release (see the September Behind the Scenes in a couple of weeks for more information), but there are also plans afoot for the most exciting and "old school" PvP update we have ever considered – unique PvP worlds.

    As many of our long term players know, in the old RuneScape Classic days you could actually fight players just outside the gates of Lumbridge, before the days of duelling and even before the days of the old Wilderness itself. Players could hunt each other down, chasing them away from favourite resource points and generally "owning" large areas of the map.

    So, in 2008, we will be bringing you special 'PvP worlds', where you can fight other players almost anywhere! In addition to all the usual content you might expect to find in RuneScape, they will also include:

    Optional sign-up – choose between PvP danger or stick to ordinary play by simply switching worlds.
    High danger with items dropped on death.
    High rewards for kills. To avoid any RWT issues the reward for a successful PK will be generated by the game, similar to when you kill a monster at the moment. We're creating generous drop tables based on factors like your levels and the impressiveness of the kill.
    These drop tables will include "PvP world specific" items like XP-modifying gear, lvl 70+ equipment and new, glorious, short-term but hard hitting gear. These will once again make PKing a viable source of income.
    PvP across 99% of the world, including the old Wilderness.
    Attack any player within a certain level of your own. Level range depends on the area, similar to the old Wilderness levels.
    ...And all sorts of other twists on interesting content... Just think of the possibilities when you can PK anywhere!
    Naturally, we also have other PvP-orientated content, like Stealing Creation (a resource control game where skillers and PKers work together, creating equipment and beating up the opposition) and Mobilising Armies (a real-time strategy game where you use your hard made bows, swords, etc. to equip your own armies in 4-player battles).

    Add all this to a healthy schedule of quests (featuring Arrav and the sequel to Spirit of Summer), holiday events and some unique puzzle content... and the rest of '08 has something for almost everyone.

    Finally, we'd like to let you in on a little secret – we're currently working on our highest level, longest, most exciting quest ever. Not necessarily for launch in '08 (it's not something we want to rush, after all), it’s already had more development time than the entirety of "Recipe for Disaster"... but you’ll have to wait to find out more. We're adding secret hints and references all the time about this one, so if you need to know more, just look around! Leave no stone unturned....

    Wow, this sounds great. RS is actually starting to become a game somewhat comparable to WoW and everything (Notice the starting to ). I wish I still had my old main Hopefully my plan of making a great autoing army that I can trade for a good main will work lol.

    dude i bet that its gunna tun out like crap, remember fists of guthix before it came out? It had a huge hype because people thought that they we re going to bring back pking, and they made the worst mini-game ive ever played, so i dunno fingers crossed, but I'm expecting a dud. Especially if you can fight anywhere, how the hell are you going to get food? and if Jagex isn't making it so you drop your equipment, but instead they give you drops, depending on the impressiveness of the kill, like i dunno doesn't seem to be that awesome to me.

    New PVP > BH.
    Don't complain! Compared to Bounty Hunter this is going to be EPIC.
    Honestly, there can't be anything WORSE than Bounty Hunter.

    I read this today at work on the RS site and thought that it sounded pretty neat, just like the old days. But I am curious, it says that you lose your equipment, but the pker can not pick it up it sounds like, and instead they get some pretty neat items (though I do not understand the xp-boosting items, perhaps just fighting stats??), that sound right? And I am curious as to how they will implement the level restrictions through out the RS world.

    Also these PvP only items will remain on PvP servers correct?

    Less than three?




    Aaanyway, I love hearing this.
    Although, don't get your hopes up, people.
    JaGex is still JaGex, and this update might turn out to be worse than the QuickChat update (*facepalms*), but don't be too pessimistic either, ANYTHING is better than BH.

    Like Fist of Guthix has the Combat Robes, Berserker shields which need to be recharged to be at its max potential.
    I think they gonna add new stuff as drop that you will be able to use to greatly boost your stats but are not permanent, maybe the items are good for 5 uses or something like that.

    Sounds like a BIG MINI-GAME with it's own world imo.

    Think about this,even if the updated sucked(which i doubt it will because sounds amazing) Bounty hunter will be emptier,more people playing the new updated and less people focusing in bounty hunter,perfect time for a few mill trade

    I just thought of something... if the drops are determined by the computer now. You can just kill a second player over and over and over and over and over and over and get lots of monies just use a proxy or unsigned or a second computer or something

    I thought of that too. get your low lvl autoer to kill your high lvl main (With nothing on of course)(Because the drop depend on the lvl they said) then u have lots of cash on the autoer.

    noidea

    odds are it'll have something like bounty hunter with you have x cash you get x drop. So if you kill someone with no cash and no gear odds are you won't be getting much.
