The announcement that free trade is coming back to Runescape has sent players into a frenzy, more so asking the question of what will remain in the game when this update goes live. There have been quite a few updates over the past three years that conflict with there being a dangerous wilderness, that Jagex is going to have to look at them on a case by case basis.
Luckily, on the new Runescape page, where Jagex has taken the liberty of actually requiring players to sign in to vote, which oddly enough only as 300,000 votes a couple days later (as opposed to the 1.2 million votes within 24 hours that the first poll achieved through no botting whatsoever).
- There will be no limits on trade, both player to player, through the Grand Exchange, and via the party room.
- Unlimited staking will return.
- The item lending, assist, and lootshare/coinshare will remain.
- The wilderness will be once again open to Player Vs Player combat.
- Quests and activities in the wilderness will be moved to other areas.
- There will be new ways to achieve PvP Gear.
- Revenants will be relocated.
- Gravestones will remain, but only outside of the wilderness.
- PVP/Bounty Hunter worlds will be removed.
- Wilderness content is being reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
It will be interesting to see what Jagex does with PvP gear, as gear like Corrupted Dragon (the highest tier armor for free players), brawling gloves, and ancient warrior equipment is only obtainable through random drops from other players.
