PvP worlds out this month.

PvP Worlds

Ever found yourself wanting to say, “Look, it’s my tree. If you don’t stop chopping it...I’ll chop you!” Sounds cool, right? Yeah, but where could you do it? And when? The answers are PvP worlds and October!

From log-in, those that are interested in PvP content will be able to join in on special PvP worlds. The danger on these worlds will be very clear from the first messages you see, ensuring that players never log onto these worlds by mistake. After all, we don’t want players accidentally getting involved with PKing (player killing) if they don’t want to. Normal, non-PvP worlds will still act just as they do now, so don’t worry if bashing others isn’t really your thing.

Those that want to get involved will find a number of differences to the usual set-up on PvP worlds. Firstly, you’ll be able to fight people pretty much anywhere, so long as their Combat level is similar to yours (within a certain range of levels). This means that almost everywhere is dangerous. Some places, like banks and respawn points, will be deemed “safe” and no combat will be able to occur there, and some of the minigames will be disabled (you won’t be able to PK team mates while playing Castle Wars, for example) but many will still be active. Other places, like Falador, Varrock and the entirety of the Wilderness, will be considered “hot spots” where the danger will be even greater and a higher concentration of opponents.

Now, onto the money side of things. Many of you will be aware of the RWT (real-world trading of RuneScape gold for money) reasons we changed the old Wilderness. We certainly can’t just bring that threat back to RuneScape, so we have devised a system that rewards players based on a variety of factors. This means that things such as risk, level of foe and location will help to calculate rewards. Drops will be determined by a combination of drop tables and some of the gear that your opponent drops. We will go into more depth about this on the day of release.

Came back to RS just for this update so better be good

Brought it out at a very bad time... we've only just had New CWA and FFA, they should at least wait till we get bored of them.

Now we are going to be stuck with 2 Playing killing simulations which we will get bored of and then won't be anything new.

Lame.

I'm not a big PvP fan, but I'll probably do some of it when I feel like owning a noob.


So Darf, you better make sure you're not in the same world as me.

I'm not much of a pvp person either, I'll just stick to regular worlds.

I want to know which areas will be multi-combat and single.

And we are totally arranging a war in a single zone. I DEMAND IT.

That would be awesome to have Full-Outs in Yanille, or Varrock or something like that.

Imagine having a full-out in Falador? People would respawn right there and loot their gravestone (if that's still applicable in these PvP worlds).

Sounds pretty awesome.

I might play for a few days on release. Knowing how RS updates are, EVERYBODY will flock to these new worlds just because they're new and loads of people WILL die just because they were curious.

Haha, sounds fun.

Can't wait.

Sgt frank in Df pmed an Jagex mod which confirmed it would be multi in some places example like the wilderness. Can't wait, Fuck the ffa and Cwa. The wilderness is where it is.

KILLLLLLLLL gosh let it be good ;<

I hope it doesn't let us all down,

I am surprised to hear some people saying this is lame and stuff. I think Jagex did a really good job here of responding to players wants and finding a way to bring back pking. We should give them credit when they do things right.

If Wilderness guardians starts up anti pking raids like the old days... I'm so joining FTW.

If this brings RWT back, I might be able to finish my house... Quickly! Find and exploit!
