RuneScape first ever Referendum
RuneScape, Jagex’s most popular free MMO, had its first ever Referendum results announced today. The community has largely decided in favor of restoring “Free Trade” and the “Wilderness”.
Out of a 1.2 million total votes, 91% said YES to:
Free Trade
- Unrestricted Free Trade between players
- Unlimited staking in the Duel Arena
- The Grand Exchange would remain, but with the lower and upper price limits removed
- Party Room drop restrictions removed
- Item Lending still available
- Assist System still available
- LootShare and Coin Share still available
The Wilderness
- The Wilderness becomes a rather dangerous area again and players can kill each other for their items
- PVP, Bounty and Bounty +1 Worlds removed (game mechanics may be re-used in the future)
- New objects that affect combat will be analysed on an individual basis
- Gravestones will still be used outside of the Wilderness
- Various PVP items and gear will still be available and won’t become ‘rares’
- Revenants patrolling the Wilderness will be relocated
- Content located in the Wilderness will be reviewed as follows:
- Quests (e.g. Spirit of Summer) and Activities (e.g. Clan Wars) will be relocated
- Other content (e.g. Treasure Trails, the Beacon Network and D&Ds) will be looked at on a case-by-case basis
Jagex will announce the details of what they will actually implement on January 17.
