Runescape Game Play

Its the end of the world as we know it!!

Ok the end of Pking has arrived, sorry you pkers its the end of unorganised pking, but hey don't worry you can still team attack a defencless players you just can't attack skillers! C'est la vie.

I have mixed views on this update, I did like the danger of the wildy, I did like killing off noobs who had a go at me, but the up date has opened a whole new world to a new group of players.

I will start off with the Bounty Hunter, this is great for the normal cowardly pker, you are assigned one player to attack you need to track them down or tele next to them, you then need to kill them, this sounds great and lots of fun? nope the chicken mentality of the pker makes it so they can group and all attack the player attacking, this is the same as clan wars were before this update but instead of a clan all attacking another clan you get a clan attacking 1 player, this area should not be multi if your not in a team you stand no chance.

I went in with Keris and a few lobbies I found my bounty and attacked, I was set upon by about 10 players all over 95 combat, even at 125 I stood no chance, this should suit the chicken pker but for the more brave adventurer without backup its not going to happen.

I went to the Clan wars area, there was a Jagex Mod trying to answer questions but most of the time he was getting abuse and people threatening to quit, he had many reasonable situation where he could have muted players on the spot, I believe they had anticipated this and will only mute persistent bad language.

I never got into the Clan Wars but will check it out later.

The rest of the wildy is fun fun fun, this has opened a whole new area for less aggressive type players, you can now mine rune ore, complete mage arena and attack the chaos elemental with controlled danger, I had 2 attempts at the Chaos Elemental and killed him on both occasions, I got 1k coins and 500 iron arrows, I can see the price of rune ore dropping and there being a flood of dragon 2 handers available, I can also see the price of treasure trail items dropping too.

There is still a great danger, the new monsters appear from no where and they are nasty, they hit hard I was hit 27 from a level 126, he heals himself and mages and ranges, it took me 2 attempts to kill 1 but I did succeed and got 800gp, what is nice is I can wear whatever I want in the wildy now so I can take on the KBD with my best gear on.

This is a massive new area for many players to explore, there are far more normal players than pkers so this is going to benefit the majority of players.

I do feel sorry for the pkers but you now have chicken central your very own chicken coop so you can pile any players who takes your fancy.

On the more serious note Jagex are taking a lot of abuse over this update, many players are threatening to quit, can't say I've ever seen an update where people haven't threatened to quit, but you do need to look at it from their point of view, Real world trading is a very real problem there is no avoiding that, people are blaming Jagex for these measures, think about it, is it Jagex who have forced these measures or is it the people buying the gold.

You only need to think of the next few days or weeks even, Jagex need to think of the future.
