My Runescape Diary

I have been doing a fair amount of Shooting Star Hunting, I use the world select page to find a quiet world and go to my house and look for a shooting star in an area I want to go to.

I have often seen a quiet world only to find out it is a PVP world, even at peak time its not unusual to have just 200 people on a PVP world, some of these are just skillers looking for a quiet world doing minimal loss skills, off peak 65 players on a PVP world is the norm.

When pking was removed from the wilderness thousands of players protested and threatened to quit, a few even did quit, If you believe the hype billions quite Runescape because of the abolition of Pking, there were mass protests and chat spamming all around Fally, Varrock and the rest of Runescape.

Jagex brought back Pking because it is what some people wanted, it was the sole reason for them playing Runescape, well guys its back, use it, according to popular belief every one was a pker and wanted pking back its back on your very own world so why not use it.

I know there are going to be the excuse that the drops are carp, If you get carp drops play, learn and get better, I have seen players get great drops, Dragon Full Helm was amongst the millions worth of drops from one player, if 45m isnt enough for you then what do you want?

To tell you the truth I knew this is how it was going to be, the protesters were a small minority, they just did the most shouting, the wilderness was always a quiet place with very few people wandering around looking for a good fight, pking was limited mainly to world 18 where a handful of people had a sparring match restocked and returned, the odd pking clan and organised clan fights would sometimes have events in the wilderness but pking was and always will be the minority.

I am as convinced as I always was that the majority of PK abolition protectors had never pked in their life just jumping on the bandwagon for a protest and for people to think they are born killing machines.

Jagex have made a number of worlds with special rules for a minority group, there are restrictions and specials rules to avoid RWT but Jagex have gone to a lot of trouble to make a system that can satisfy as many people as possible, if you don't use the worlds they should be reclaimed and handed back to the normal players.

I am glad Jagex have given you your pking back, I hope it gives you a lot of pleasure and great rewards, if things are not good about pking give Jagex feedback through the forums, don't just avoid pking because of problems, constructive criticism and praise when its due will get it as close to how you like it as possible.
