Hi
A few weeks ago we removed the Bounty Hunter game from the Wilderness, but promised it would be coming back soon. I just wanted to quickly post to say that we’re working hard on the new, improved Bounty Hunter, and to tell you a little about it.
As many of you know, the Bounty Hunter minigame was really a temporary solution to the removal of PvP back in 2008. We really rushed the launch because of all the other projects we were working on at that time, and we therefore made a few design decisions that were not the best choices we have ever made. When we found a permanent solution with PvP worlds, we were determined to re-examine Bounty Hunter and make it the kind of game that we knew it could be. We’re really pleased that some of you like it as much as you do, and we’re keen to get it back to you as soon as we can.
So, here’s a little about one of the changes we’ve made so far. Some of you have complained that the crater sizes are too small, and that the level grouping of players is unfair. The new Bounty Hunter minigame will take place across the entire Wilderness, using the existing Wilderness level bands to restrict how and where fighting takes place. This means that you’ll have lots more room and, if you stick to the lower areas of the Wilderness, you’ll know that your opponents will always be within a few combat levels of your own. If you think you can handle more risk, you will be able to encounter higher-level combatants simply by walking north. We will also be allowing players to use the bank and change equipment in Edgeville, but only Edgeville, and the Wilderness will be accessible from these Bounty Hunter PvP servers.
Obviously, with such a large area we’re rethinking how and when new bounty targets will be assigned; more information on that in the future.
We still can’t talk to you about launch dates because we simply don’t know how long it will take to get it right – and were not going to rush it out again. But we are working on it as we speak, and we will launch it as soon as it’s ready.
