Taming the Wilds
"If you die while holding any items, you will reveal the fourth of our updates this month. A gravestone will temporarily appear on the spot where you perished, which can be read and admired by passers-by."
Consider this: Jagex is on a campaign to stop real world trading.
Thus far they have:
1. Reduced staking in the duel arena to the point where it could not be used to transfer any large sums of money.
2. Made it so the Party Room would not be used to transfer money because the value of the contents may be announced all across RS.
3. The Grand Exchange reduces the need for player-to-player trades. All trades are monitored by Jagex
Next month they will introduce two minigames: Bounty Hunter and Clan Wars. It is interesting to note that these are two "legitimate" activities people used to do in the Wild. They will also introduce gravestones. Look at the quote at the top of this post. Gravestones will only show up if you die while holding an item . . . interesting.
By the end of the year, when you die, items you are holding will NOT be dropped on the ground. You will still lose them, but your killer will not get them. This will stop yet another method real world traders used.
This will also tame the Wilds.
Want to PK? Then go play Bounty Hunter.
Want to Clan War, then go to that minigame.
I'm afraid the wilds would become positively safe, except they are also introducing some new monsters to the Wild to help spice it up again.
A lot of people have been complaining about all these changes, but I like them. I like them all.

with all this changes, the game has kill friendship, fellowship, there are no need to play runescape with 2 o 2 millions of people, runescape I now going far away from MMORPG, have no sense to be a Masive multiplayer OnLine Game. Now you can't lend, provide or give stuff to any friend, familiar or no one.
With out PK and with controled trades rules, the game lost his sense. There is no need to play it online with other players. A downloable no-online version will be the same, for the players obviously not for jagex.
nice blog!
