Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): Holiday Events Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Not sure if these are anything like they once were but perhaps having these for a extremely limited time window (6-8hrs total max) for some sort of random loot drop of the holiday in question. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Basically replicates what it once was on the official servers similarly to classic style. Suggestion (short description): Forum Slots/Bingo Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Activity on the forums, along with being able to play something supporting the server on the website from mobile. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Perhaps using In-game/donation currency you could buy forum tickets for these games to play while on mobile along with actively chatting with your friends from the game. Suggestion (short description): Link Forum/Discord Chat to Global In-Game Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Allowing people to chat from mobile to those in game. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): I have seen this done in WoW with IRC if I remember correctly. I believe this is feasible to do. This allows people that may be arriving home soon to perhaps schedule in-game events with friends easier. Just some of the random ideas I have while at work. Lol

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): Trivia Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Basically lore related or location finding. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): The more knowledgeable will generally win, however this is a great learning experience for those that really want to delve deeper into the game. Even so, players could simple google what they don't know and find the answer. Suggestion (short description): Show your GFX skills Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Design something to awe everyone, Could even be hand drawn. Show your appreciation and passion for the topic. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): See Why. Suggestion (short description): Scavenger/Easter Egg Hunt Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): A Fun and creative way to have people browsing the forums. Perhaps they see something they'd like to chat about while doing so. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Moderators would place a hidden 'egg' somewhere on the forums where players then have to find and PM the designated person with the provided link. Suggestion (short description): Participation Events Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Participation is key to a lively and active forum. This just gives more incentive. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Everyone can receive something, can be feedback related, game related, forum ideas, etc. These should bring people to checking the forums more, possibly making them connect a lot more on their mobile. Suggestion (short description): Design a new Logo/Banner/Emblem Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): See Details. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): This is more oriented toward the GFX artists out there. This could be done in a variety of ways. Players can vote, moderators can choose, or administrators. These don't have to be chosen to represent the server, however if it were jaw-dropping awesome it could make an exception. There is pride and accomplishment in one's creation. This could also open up a role for an event GFX artist, perhaps even leading into a 'marketing' artist for the server. Just a few ideas touched base on discord, wanted to consolidate it for easier reading.

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): Consolidate Ideas for future Events. Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Gives the community a chance to come up with ideas for future events. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Basically what this will be is a topic that the community to come together and think collectively on ways to improve our forum events and/or in-game events.

Makes sense, just a cosmetic change after all.

I found it a bit over the top for having to unlock rocktails myself. Thought they were able to be fished up the regular way, then to my dismay only to find a larger donation was needed to unlock this. In my opinion, if it's part of the regular game then it should be available for others also, however I can understand that donations are necessary to keep this running. Keep in mind there are many ways to have donations without pay-walling certain aspects of the normal game. With a few items in the shop to purchase, like primal, rapier, and the like, it's possible to add gold, and other smaller/medium tiered gear that has a chance to drop from other creatures too. With a larger donation area you have the ability to create a multitude of combat areas for specific monsters thus shortening trips to areas where they would normally be. Given some skilling areas could be useful, though most should be in their natural area. Prifddinas could also be opened (not quite sure which patch that came out on in official game servers, first time really getting back into in about a decade.) for skilling and a new hub. While my information is very limited in runescape regards, there's always room to grow your donators.

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): A random forum event each week for small rewards. Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Increasing activity on the forum will also attract more people and hopefully increase website usage and analytics for a boost in popularity. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): It could be a simple design contest, screenshot contest (sort of like a clue where a Moderator takes a photo and players try to guess it), best creativity, etc. The list could be endless in regards to this. For a more personal note on the matter... I used to develop, manage, and do customer support a WoW private server for about two years. Forum activity, I would say, is key to attracting new players. Bringing attention to the forums is a must to show how the community itself is active not only in game but also outside of game.

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): A simple small bonus for those that vote. Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): This will increase the voting (hopefully) and draw in more players while keeping it rewarding to those that do vote. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): Small rewards, perhaps a mystery box or crystal keys, or even few million in coins each round of the chosen type.

I would personally also like to see these, and quests added retrospectively. Something that can take the edge of skilling and add a little adventure so it doesn't get dull.

Aye, I can agree with that not being in the G.E honestly. However it will promote a bit more social interaction with trading skilling materials in this case.

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): Possible chance for seeds after harvesting. Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Not all seeds are easy to come by, the ability to have a small chance for seeds to be acquired on harvest is a neat idea. Like in real life farming you can reuse some in most cases to reproduce some vegetables/fruit etc. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): A low chance to acquire a seed(s) of the herb/plant/tree you do could possibly make farming a little more beneficial to the community in having seeds available for sale in the G.E. also.

Support! I for one feel the key rewards are less and less valuable. Can't tell you how many times I get tree seeds and just get depressed seeing them. Would like to see some cosmetic items, better variety of skilling materials, maybe some medium lamps or something, and perhaps even a few rewards that you can only get out of the chest (May need custom or things not available in game atm).

Username (ingame): Nanda Suggestion (short description): Mailbox Why (explain what this will benefit, and how): Having a mailbox allows friends to send items/gifts to players while they are offline. Details (a more thorough explanation of the above): The reason I believe this will make a great addition is not only for this above but also if there are any forum only events you could simply mail the recipient their reward. Allowing such a mail feature also allows for both parties to chat back and forth if unable to be on at the same time that often.

Definitely support, I believe this is a quality of life update that is quite needed. Seeing such a change, I have no doubt that it will draw in more players that desire to skill more often.
