I can't escape the idea that Dead Man Mode is the way Runescape was meant to be played. It makes you explore game content in depth and much more intimately. For a private server, it could bring large and meaningful engagement with outstanding content that isn't as popular on today's RSPS, such as quest features, periodical/seasonal events, and clan domination. I think the first server to perfect Dead Man Mode will obtain an overwhelmingly engaged audience. What better server than Alora?
My hope is that this thread can serve as an outline of what the communities feels to be the most important aspects of Dead Man Mode, as well as a place to address notable concerns and objections made about the game mode.
To begin this discussion, I will present what I believe to be the most vital aspects of Dead Man Mode.
- Open world PVP..
This started back in the days of Runescape Classic. Here lies the thrill of potentially making bank, or losing it all, at anytime and anyplace.
- Straight to the Point..
Along with open world pvp, increased XP rates expedite the dissemination of wealth. First by allowing skillers to speedily bring forth the wealth and then by allowing pkers to be readily capable of transferring it.
- More than attraction..
If done right, I believe that the tenacious and expansive gameplay provided by Dead Man Mode will retain new and old audiences alike for months on end. It shall serve as a source of communal engagement for players and staff alike.
-Bigger Community..
If the DMM world turns out to be a hit, it would be an entire new community of people joining Alora thus making Alora grow even more than it currently is.
-More Revenue
From a Business standpoint this would generate even more income for the server that can be used for more advertising for the new world, thus paying for itself and then some.
