Wilderness Overhaul (AKA New Beginning For Wildy)
Nisti
We are back at it again!
This time we are here to bring you all huge changes regarding the hot potato, that is the wilderness. It's never too easy to make decisions that are most likely to disappoint some of our players, but sometimes they are very much needed to get things back on track. Our goal here is to make whole wilderness more balanced and accessible for everyone, as well as making it sustainable in the long run. Without further ado, heres everything that changed today in a nice, compact list:
Wilderness overhaul:
-Fort has been removed
-Hotspot has been removed; Hotspot tokens and control points can still be spent at zeonks store.
-East wilderness content removed; "skiller" castle, range guild, and green dragons.
-East wilderness is no longer 1v1 area
-Slayer dungeon overhauled and re-located to P2P area, Ghostly Lair moved to P2P
-Castles custom changes reverted, removed bank and altar.
-Npc spawns reverted into normal RSC spawns.
Edgeville changes:
- New market place location
- New bank added closer to wilderness
- Mad Zeonk retired, Obelisk added for teleportation.
- Monks and an Altar next to the Obelisk.
Obelisk changes:
-Obelisk is no longer a platform with 4 objects.
-New teleport mechanics; no wait time after choosing destination, no AOE teleport.
-New locations:
* Castle (not accessible from edgeville)
* Chaos Altar
* Graveyard
* Hobgoblins
* Lava Maze
* Mage Bank
New Wilderness Slayer Dungeon
- New location in p2p wilderness
- Two entraces:
* Ardougne Lever Hut
* Next to Animated Axes Hut, under the tree.
New additions:
Castle rune spawns buffed
-Elemental runes increased to 5 each
-Death-rune x2 spawn added
Drops buffed slightly for cast runes:
-Darkwizard
-Hobgoblin
-Zombie
Master darkwizard lair:
-New NPC Master darkwizards (Level-62) added north-east of Castle
-Drops heavily biased to Fire-blast runes.
Dragons Nest:
-Located near Lava Maze, where Fort was.
-Dragon drops specialized towards supplying pking.
-Contains new type of dragons that do not require anti-dragonfire shield; they always deal dragonfire on beginning of combat with max hit up to 10.
*1x King Wild Dragon (lv 245)
*4x Wild Dragon (lv 73)
High Wild Altar:
- Altar allows you to offer bones for 20% more experience.
- New npc to un-note and note bones
Chaos Altar
-Added two Wild Dragon spawns
Other new in wilderness:
-Anti-parking: Characters logged out for longer than 30 minutes will be moved to Edgeville.
-2 IP Wilderness
-Fixed bug with 5v1 where nobody could do cast damage
New Combat Formula
Maybe old news to some but still something we want to specially mention, as it was not as well informed than wed like.
Last month we developed a new combat formula, the goal of it was to get it as close as we can to original rscrevolution Classic and to our knowledge we're much closer than we have ever been before. After a week of very succesfull trial, we decided to implement it permanently.
The new formula will have following effects:
- NPCs are less powerful
- Player defense is more balanced
- More satisfying hits.
Some minor added and some fixed:
Not directly related to wilderness.
-New toggle options added:
* Chat filter
* Fatigue message
You can access these settings via in game Options menu (Wrench menu).
Please note: Even when chat filter is now optional, we still very much enforce our rules to maintain pleasant enviroment. (!!!)
-Added confirmation pop-up for Quick-gear save button.
-Fixed visual bug with item spawns disappearing, when you run circles around them.
-Fixed bug where attack command wouldn't reset when your character stops.
-Bank search will now automatically have focus when opening bank.
-World map now shows where your location
-Added a setting to enable original rscrevolution Classic sword sprites.
-"Cut web" Right click option added.
I think heres all for today folks. Let's keep on keeping on, with your help, as always.
Sincerely, the RSCRevolution Staff team

Hey
I am happy to see the update, it is definitely interesting and I hope it will lay the necessary incentives for pk to return. However, I noticed some aspects and have 2-3 ideas.
BUGS
- Ardougne Lever seems to be not working
- Even from mage bank I was not able to teleport to castle (I think). Also, was it on purpose to remove many teleports? Not so convenient.
- Edgeville log out timer is 5 minutes
SUGGESTIONS
- Keep the old slayer lair in addition to the new one? Or just the old one?
26.11.2019 Discord
[12:49 PM] D: I dont pk just skill and even just cba to do that either.. so close to max account and now slayer is borderline impossible
[12:51 PM] BudDa: Ya i heard he f**** up slayer aswel
- Are there going to be places with xp boosts?

- Perhaps add a 2nd king wild dragon to the Dragons Nest
- Is there a specific place where ranged training is supposed to happen, some similar spot to ranged guild?
QUESTIONS
- What is like the main area where pk is supposed to have now?
For example, at turnip you can go to edge with ::edge, tele directly to castle and there is activity. Fast and easy access.
- Was it a good idea to move castle back to the completely original version? The npcs there do not even auto attack me. I can't see really an incentive to go there anymore.
26.11.2019, Discord
"11:01 AM] BudDa: Totally killing the castle
[11:01 AM] BudDa: I'm so disappointed tbh
[11:02 AM] BudDa: Was expecting crazy changes for castle, but the updates made castle even worse spot now."
"[11:06 AM] BudDcus castle is [...] stupid and much worse than before now."
Thanks for the effort and looking forward to the changes, hopefully more pk.
Best regards
Umba

Fort removed - good, about time. This never benefitted PKers just teams of skillers farming pixels.
HS removed - good.
east wilderness content removed - whatevs.
Slayer dungeon - should ask the people who do slayer, looks like they dont like the update from what I read.
-Castles custom changes reverted, removed bank and altar.
This will once again benefit bigger teams (not a problem right now since its so dead its not even funny at this point.) Even the rats are removed. Nothing that draws people to castle. The point of removing all the skiller farmlands is to make a central PKing spot and not have tons of places all over the wild. Add some NPCs with good drops(fire giants, green drags, whatever) in different corners of the room or something. And the rune spawn to 5 is an epic joke. Its equivalent to picking up bronze arrows near the bears east of castle in RSC. No on cares. Make it 50 per spawn and people MIGHT bother picking the runes, might not bother. 5x runes with hopes of someone picking them up is borderline offensive lol. And to skillers who are like "argh I dunno (read with Butters voice) it will be bad for market and I worked so hard to collect all those runes and now they are no longer as valuable." you dont need to hoard pixels that are consumables and benefit no one but having plenty on the market on the otherhand will help PKing grow a lot, escpecially for players who choose not spend 10+ hours on this game per week.
Checked out the new Dark Wiz NPCs. Hard to kill, drops are bad (6 death runes etc, def not worth the trouble. No one will kill those for the drops thats for sure).
Dragon nest - can no longer semi-AFK drags since theyre spread out and getting to bank takes longer time. Which will make dbone price go up. Not necessarily bad since the market dictates the price of items but it will make grind harder for people who are still making 
char/chars. Put the drag spot west of castle so PKing is close to castle and add more drags would be my suggestion.
Obelisk update - no delay and faster teleport without obelisk trolling, good.
Make castle more appealing and the centre of PKing. I agree with what Jauro said. Chars are still hard AF to train (jesus christ why, its 2019, we are old, takes forever, PKing is expensive, tons of flats on the server, no one wants a best server) etc. Address those 2 things and youll have numbers again. Without understanding why PKers have quit you cannot make updates that will make PKing active again. Just hit some PKer who understands what the fuck is going on up on discord who has the energy and will tell you guys what you need to do (not many of them left but Id say Jauro hasnt given up hope yet and has offered tons of FREE input how to better the server. Its been ignored tho.)
Oprah:
Good call numb nuts, now the wilds more dead than ever. This is why the pkers shouldn't have an opinion. It's a skillers wild, the pkers are followers and always have been. They log in for 30 mins a day and if there isn't any pk it's more like 5 mins. Let the great ideas come from the people who play the game for hours.
