PkHonor

Donderstone2 wrote:Hey guys

It's been a while since you've heard from me, which was mainly due to my exams, which are over now. Therefore I have more time on my hands to pick up the development again for PkHonor. One of the things I don't like is seeing the wilderness as empty as it is right now. Perhaps you don't know it, but I used to be a pk'er aswell back in the time before I was an Administrator. Things have changed a lot since then, regarding pk'ing and although we tried to improve the attraction of the wilderness, it never really paid off. Therefore I am now letting you know we will have another attempt to try and restore the wilderness.

First up, Bounty Hunter. I've been working a bit here and there on Bounty Hunter and the system itself is nearly set up for the first rounds of testing. Bounty Hunter is a way of getting assigned a target and try to kill it. If you do kill it, you get Bounty Hunter points which you will be able to spend in a new shop.

Furthermore, I'll be working on adding the Glacors. Glacors are already made, but not yet finalized and implemented. I'll work on that after I'm done with Bounty Hunter. The Glacors will be placed in the wilderness, hopefully attracting enough people for more activity in the wilderness.

I'll add things along the way and I'll keep you posted on the development of these projects.

Have a nice day.

Both Glacors and Bounty Hunter sound absolutely great, looking forward to that new content.

My only worry is that, with new boots coming out, as well as these Bounty Hunter rewards which no doubt will be strong, PvM is just too easy.
It's already way too easy, and I feel that the current bosses don't warrant any new, stronger gear.

now every1 is saying no
wtf

anyway i think bounty hunter is a good addition. glacors won't work because they appeal to people already playing, that have no interest in pvp. bounty hunter, however, will attract (a very small amount) of new players who enjoy pvp

I never supported it.

In RS, even with a shortbow, you could attack a mager just as far away as he could attack you. (think it was 12 squares?)

Not to mention you'd still hit fuck all and they could easily outhit you still.

Wb crossbows? Do they have same range too? Because you can use bolts to antirag till they farcast you.

I've tried longbows but its not dealing much damage and rune arrows p++ have no stats I remember, they Prot range against it too xD

Do I say no to everything? No ( )

I say no to lots of things that make rich people stronger and make the gap between rich and new players so large.

New players look at the list of runelocus, see the top 316 rsps is PK HONOR and go check it out.

What they expect: Lots of pking and honorable pkers.
And what they get is the exact opposite: Barely pkers and the people who pk are far stronger than them and have no honor at all.

I've seen the player base go from 600 players online to 150.
And the reason was not pkhonor itself, it was the community. Especially a certain part of it.
