The current poll by Jagex on the main runescape site is focussed on multi-player actions. There are 3 types of multi-player action that Jagex are considering expanding within the game. The areas in the poll are:
- Quests
- Skills
- Pking
It is a nice idea to think Jagex may be considering the role of runescape clans, although it does seem they consider groups of friends rather than clans. In this instance, clan support in runescape will not be any closer after the poll has finished.
In my view, there have been enough problems in the past trying to find quest partners and so I would be opposed to any multi-player quests being introduced. With regard to skills, it is likely Jagex considering new multi-player mini games that would help raise a specific skill and in that instance it would be ok. Although clans will gain from working together, it would depend on the number of people required whether it would be useful to groups of friends.
Finally, on the pking side of things, if enough people have voted in the opinion of Jagex, they may consider introducing multi-player pking events. This would likely have a direct affect on the wilderness and could take the form of additional group monsters or new locations whereby teams of players can fight each other under wilderness rules - last person standing wins kind of thing.
It does open the possibility of a battle arena within the wilderness and make it more useful to clans who could possibly organise tournaments, leagues and wars more easily without having to guard over the possibility of outside interferance.
I am optimistic on this poll and hopefully something worthwhile does eventually come about from it.
If you haven't voted and want multi-player activities within runescape then don't miss the opportunity to cast your vote now. Remember only members can vote.
