Hi, I am making this to address this issue AGAIN. 

 

Castlewars has been a major part of the RS experience since it was released. This being a RUNESCAPE Private Server, it is sorely lacking in the Minigame area. 

 

One of the arguments I have heard is that it would be TOO MUCH for this server, I strongly disagree.

If you introduce CW into the game, it will also bring a lot more players.

 

Battle Royale is similar but its just not the same as Castlewars. It would also provide another activity to do that people enjoy. Currently there is very little Minigames that people genuinely like for extended periods of time. 

 

It is time to introduce a new piece of content that would be enjoyed by all.

 

 

Thanks for reading and your Feedback is greatly appreciated.

I agree Castle Wars should be implemented. It is a fun mini game for people to pvp but not risk their items, Battle Royale is fun but just not the same. Also i think its worth it for the simple fact that it is something we would have that not all severs have and it could help the community grow.

Comp on this doesnt require Castlewars.

I 100% agree, it would be no fun if it wasnt done right. However, Raids was completed near-perfectly and Castlewars is nowhere near as complicated. (Essentially its just a multicombat area that needs to be unlocked)

Would only support this if it had rewards that make it worth doing otherwise I think it will end up being dead the majority of the time except for when server events are taking place.

Support. Would have to make a new rewards shop, though.

I can see it dying quickly because of lack of player participation. I think the time could be better spent. Castle wars in general isn't very fun, especially if you have teams that can stomp. Eventually, nobody will go to Castle wars because it's near impossible to win without collusion or an experienced team.

Also why tf am I always the one that voted differently :(

I used to play constantly without a team and i loved it. They are TEAM games anyway so you *always* in a fairly good sized team.

It's always about the rewards IMO. 

Rewards offered in RS for castle wars were so pointless and rightly belong in the loyalty/vote shops here. 

 

If you could offer unique items that are also tradeable (big selling point here for people to endure the struggle for big profits) as rewards, you would always have people attempting to break through and snag the treasures. 

 

I know this wouldn't be generally accepted, but for example... rare shop offered exclusively through castle wars.

 

Before you discredit it as "foolish" and "economy-crashing" think of it from every players perspective (IM, HCIM, UIM inclusive)... This would offer a grindable way for them to show off their discipline and dedication because these would certainly be MUCH harder to attain than void, or a blowpipe for example. The items would keep their rarity since they would take almost as much time as a 200M skill to grind out making it like an ultimate achievement to wear.

 

Of course, not everyone will have the discipline to grind for these, so perhaps offering other lower-tier exclusive cosmetics to the rare CW shop would be nice.

 

This is only a hypothetical suggestion about how you can entice players to play castle wars and keep coming back, because untradeable ain't gonna do it for most. ^_^

I don't think castle wars will be on Alora. That area is now consumed with gamblers and talkative pricks. Very unfortunate, but it's true.
