Castle Wars has always been my favorite minigame but you don't really see active servers with a good running Castle Wars.

Now I'm not sure how hard it would be to code Castle Wars to make it work and if you guys would even play it.

 

But a way I was thinking to get people to play it is obviously the rewards. I mean you guys can tell me what you think the rewards could be, the more opinions the better.

They could be cosmetics, but really good ones (Loyalty store is kinda whack  ) or just some items unique to Alora or something (A Castle Wars pet?). Just adds more opportunities and content to the game, something to really make this minigame stand and to not flop. I do believe the rewards could hold a lot of potential and could set off Castle Wars to be a great addition to the server, it could even be used on the weekend for events for more rewards or something. 

 

We could have a highscores in the Castle Wars area which is ;;gamble which could display lets say, top 5 people with most kills, captures, returns, etc... maybe have a reward for the top 1-2 at the end of a season or something, the rewards don't have to be extreme, just thinking of ways to get people to actually play the damn ting.

Plenty of servers have it is always supported as a suggestion so I support.

As much as I love castle wars, I think it would be a complete waste of time coding it as I have played many server which had it coded and no one played it at all, It would be great for the first couple of days but apart from that people would only play it when events are on.

I don't mind either way what happens on this suggestion :)

Yeah that's the problem I see, it dropping in usage, except for events. That's why rewards need to be sweet enough for people to grind for

The minigame itself is cool & I like it somewhat on osrs.

I just think it's too much coding/hassle to get it working that I'd rather see Omi work on other updates.

There are loads of amazing suggestions for QoL updates & stuff that I'd like to see added before this.

 

That said, If he were to work on this, I would support it ^^

 

Rewards;

There should be unique rewards here so that people actually "need" to do castle wars. Like void & pest control.

This way the minigame doesn't die out fast. As for what this could be, I have no idea.

Personally i don't like castle wars at all, but i get where you're coming from. And i support this, but it'll need some good ass rewards for it to be popular for more than 1 week. :)

[Oh Du Hast]

I don't think Castle wars will be popular enough if I'm honest. Maybe for the first day or two, but I can see it dying down very quickly if it's implemented. Majority of players DO complain about lag frequently, I don't think adding a huge minigame as such is going to make that any better.

Though if it can be implemented without such troubles I wouldn't mind seeing it in-game. Though I can see it playing a huge part in the 'Events' aspect of the server.

Neutral.

I'm gonna agree with @y0m0pk 

 

An update to Castle Wars, while it may be a nice feature to advertise having, it's more than likely just a waste of coding as I've seen in the majority of RSPs who implement it. It'll be popular for a few days, become extremely monotonous, boring, and eventually dead content.

 

Being a server that is focused much on PvM, Player v. Player opportunities are very slim as the player base tends to stray away from those activities that don't involve endlessly grinding bosses. It's unlikely the minigame would receive enough participants regularly, outside of weekend events lead by staff.

 

While I believe we don't need an update to Castle Wars, I also don't want to be the one to No Support something that isn't a terrible idea. Neutral.

Yeah that's the problem, I don't see people continuing to play it unless it has some sort of uniqueness to it, items only available from Castle Wars, maybe not just cosmetics but things that actually benefit.

[Xthomas]

Im just gonna support it for the love of this minigame i played it so much i was well known for it back in 2005/2004

[Jmich96]

I love the idea of adding castle wars and a reward system to Alora and I support your idea. Unfortunately though, I don't think enough players would show interest.

Looking at the overall feedback on this suggestion, it is going to be declined.
