Ok, my brother went onto runescape to pk on his pure not an hour ago.
Now, what is ****ed up is what runescape have done to the beloved wilderness. They have practically RUINED it.
I don't know the full story behind it, however you cannon attack people unless your are in this 'Bounty hunter' area deep in the wild. Even then it is ****ed up and you cannot enjoy normal pking. You are put into a selected group, depending on your combat level from what i can gather. Pking will never be the same, and jagex you will loose thousands if not millions of pounds/dollars due to people quitting. Just making this so people that play runescape can read about it.
Taken from Runescape.com website:
In the centre of the Wilderness lies Bounty Hunter. This is a dangerous activity, in which you will also be skulled, meaning that you will lose all your items if you die. As described above, this is essentially the original PKing game that has always been in the wilderness, but is now in its own dedicated area, along with a few twists and changes.
The Bounty Hunter volcano is split into three craters, separated by Combat level, in which you will be given the name of a random player. This player is in the arena with you, and you have been tasked with killing them! They are unaware that you are hunting them, but no doubt they soon will be! Track them down, surprise them and then kill them to nab their items and prove yourself to be the bounty hunter of all bounty hunters.
What is so dangerous about this, you ask? Well, someone else in the arena is after you, too! Your name will have been given to another bounty hunter, and you will be firmly in their sights. Can you kill your target before you get killed yourself?
When players enter the Bounty Hunter area, a skull will appear above their heads, variously-coloured to represent the market value of their carried items. It may be tempting to attack any wealthy players who are not your bounty and pick up their items. This kind of non-bounty killing will give you a three minute penalty, during which you CANNOT leave the Bounty Hunter area - making you a tempting target for other players!
Pros & cons
Pros -
1. i guess it could be useful, if you draw a lower level person, easy to slaughter.
2. Since there is a highscore, it would be cool to climb up it.
Cons -
1. Only a decent advantage if you are a HIGH combat.
2. You loose ALL your items once you die.
3. The old pking is history. which is crap.
Thanks,
