Deadman mode is returning to RSCR, this game mode is similar to the Deadman mode found on OSRS, where players play in a full world PvP environment. We won't be having a separate server for Deadmen, they will be playing on the same world as regular players. These will be a new character type just like iron-men, addition of the mode won't affect regular players.

Deadman mode beta test

Starting now, Deadman mode beta test is available for players, any player on the test server can expect to win a prize of 500k every 45 minutes or so, players reporting bugs will get rewards as well. To be eligible for the prize your characters history must show some activity and you can't be online with more than two chars at the same time or you will be automatically excluded from getting a prize.

For a smooth season it is essential that the new content is well tested, sincere thank you to everyone who will take some time to contribute. Please PM me directly on Discord with any bugs, issues or feedback in general. You can also participate in DMM chat on our #deadman-mode channel.

Rules:

Deadman mode is hosted with a philosophy that Deadmen must be self sufficient, gather their own resources and always risk their own hard work. For that reason this season we will be implementing strict rules and will be monitoring deadmen related logs for any suspicious activity. This is also involved alternative character.;

- Trading items is disabled and not allowed;
- Using mules to hold or transfer items is not allowed;
- Swapping items between regular game mode and DMM is not allowed;
- Trying to gain any wealth in a way that obviously show an attempt to transfer items between chars will be taken as a bannable offense as well.

If you find that being self sufficient is not your cup of tea, please do not complain or play DMM trying to break the rules, just skip this particular activity and enjoy the regular game mode. There will be other DMM seasons in the future and the rules may be different, but for this event, these are the rules. Breaking of any DMM rules will result in a ban of all parties involved, ban will count as a ban on regular game mode and may move you towards a list ban if you've been banned in the past.
