The Wilderness – Former Glory?

Hey Members!

Today we are excited to tell you that Runescape (JaGeX) have in many ways, brought the wilderness back!

They have done this by re-combining many aspects of the old bounty hunter with the wilderness we all used to know and love, and i must say: the outcome is phenomenal! This update is superb. Allow me now to review it in depth!

‘The wilderness used to be a walk-in death trap – That is why we loved it? No? Well, they have brought this back now. you cross the ditch from Edgeville, and you are instantly surrounded (see image) much like the old wilderness. The skull-and-crossbones are back! meaning that you are ‘rogue’ if you have it, and will lose all your items on death. A new addition is the bounty hunter interface in the upper corner, detailing your target and likelihood. This is your target so not to get ‘rogued’ and the one you must kill. In order to do this, you must locate him, and any battle he is in will we stopped for yours (you get priority)

The players are as enthusiastic as ever to get back to raking in the cash from Pk-ing. Not just by killing other players, but the equipment. Lobsters, armour, weapons and such are on the brink of explosion! Due to new demand.

Clans will now most likely make a comeback, now making it possible to Pk in deep wilderness in multi-combat sections, the clans will dominate the skyline here, waiting for unwary travellers to wonder into their grasp! And therefore, they will now be popular once more, because that was a main clans purpose! Battling other clans – now with rewards ;)

The drop rates have also been increased so it is far more likely to get what your opponent was wearing (now 3 times more likely) and also generated items based on the sum of their battle gear is still in effect.

I was speaking to a few Pk-ers that were hanging about (me i think…*gulp*)

Jaytheman8 says: “This is so much better, that bounty wars! It’s almost like the original thing! (except the drops)”

I’m sorry but how can you pick holes in flawlessness? I think this is the best update since they removed it, it’s so absorbing, dangerous and has the sense you have gone back through time. In a nutshell: “Its like the old wilderness, but with different drops rates and targets!”

And therefore!’

5/5

Discuss this on the forums and advertise your clans on it!

    Yes, this is the best update since clan chat itself! it is even better than traditional Wilderness but not as good as classics well classic approach to it all.UNfortunatley my old pker was banned when i got hot headed so i am leveing up my file as i chat. To fight in this new areana of death,revenge and hell even LOVE.

    Sounds cool, however:

    Its rogue not rouge, rouge is a type of makeup
    Its flawlessness not floor-lessness, that would mean having no floor (a flaw is an imperfection, a floor is what you stand on)

    Just wanted to point that out :P

  • Everyday Runescaper says:

    I liked the old wildy . It was on every world and you could walk into without even realizing. I ,like everyone else, ended walking into it unaware like everyone else while I was still lvl 15-20, but that’s just part of the fun. You have to really pay attention to what you’re doing or you might walk into a trap. It was more life-like. AND its not that hard to get to things like Fist of Guthix. Its not that far out there. If anything its too close, I could get to the lvl 60 wildy being lvl 45 without running into anyone. Get over it.
