Players who enter a PvP or Bounty World will now automatically become skulled and unable to use the Protect Item prayer. The skull will not disappear over time or when a player dies, unless they go to a non-PvP world, in which case the skull behaves like normal. Note that this means you will always lose everything you are carrying if you get killed by another player, and that there is no way for you to keep any items on death while in a PvP or Bounty World.
Additionally, on members’ worlds, your victims must now lose at least 75,000 coins’ worth of items (increased from 25,000) for your earning potential to be applied to the drop. On free-to-play worlds, the amount the victim must lose remains at 25,000 coins.
Please note that you will have to be in a safe area before you can next log into a PvP or Bounty World. You will need to log into a non-PvP/Bounty World in order to move to a safe area. This is to ensure nobody logs in risking more than they are aware of. A message will explain this on login if you try to enter these worlds. This only applies to your next PvP/Bounty World login; from then on, you will be able to log in as normal.

That's where the skill comes in
pk or be pked
Anyway, it's not that different from normal pking, most people skull anyway (although no more protect item can be irritating... But it will allow more scope for the whole risk v. reward thingy)

People have been complaining about how they wanted the "good ol' days" back, so it'd be a positive change, reverting back to 'classic' (cheaper) weapons unless you want to risk a fortune.

In my top 5 updates this year, no more 1 itemers and now people with guts who risk Godswords etc can dominate. Also 26king is a bit riskier which is a bonus because all it requires is luck and is abusing the mechanics of PvP drops.
Micronblast
Jul 15 2009, 10:38 AM
I forsee a spike in using ranged to pk, due to ammo, not weapons, being the main cost. I'm not sure whether the removal of protect item is madness or genius (but after all, they go hand in hand).

You want to use a godsword, you risk a godsword. Simple. It's not Jagex ruining pking, it's people wanting their kills to be spoonfed to them. If you can't pk without a godsword, don't pk.

Fair point, but main problem with 1/no-itemers is that in places like Falador or Lummy (i.e. spawn points) they just keep on re-spawning and keep coming back to finish you. I personally would never 1-item because it makes you unpopular and you put in a lot of effort for miserable litle drops.
Actually, seeing that you now lose all your items on death, there's not much point in 1-itemers any more which means it's only no-itemers which are irritating but easy to finish off. So in fact your point is entirely valid and I've just wasted 4 minutes of my life typing this.

I'm not a big 26ker, so can someone explain why there will be no more God Swords in PvP?
Also, how I see it, this doesn't ruin 26king, it just makes it 76king. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
)
Edit: Oh.
Anyways, I'm glad they made this update. 26king was ruining the economy, and now it (Hopefully) won't be as bad anymore.

Well without the use of protect item it makes God sword pking monumentally more risky.
It kinda makes me sad I don't really play anymore, I would've loved this kinda update towards the end of my RS time as all I did was PvP. Its was beyond frustrating killing someone only to get a crap drop because they protected that whip or godsword or d claws.

Wow. This sucks. Now I'm never going on PvP worlds- I used to to train skills, but where the hell is the fun in it anymore? At least with Protect Item you could save one thing (and FYI, Jagex, you made a prayer to cancel that out too- Smite!). This is dumb. why not just nerf the wildy in the regular worlds too and have revenants team up in CLANS?
