Deadman mode has returned to RSCR, this game mode is similar to the Deadman mode found on OSRS, where players play in a full world PvP environment. Deadmen won't be playing on a separate world, they will be playing along with regular players. Deadmen are a new character type just like iron-men or veteran mode.

This season, DMM players will be required to be completely self sufficient, at the bottom of the post there is a list of rules that Deadmen must follow. Please read them and if you believe that you won't be able to follow them, do not play DMM and risk getting banned.

Any additional rules or limitations will be posted before or the day of release!

Deadman mode main features:

Rules:


Deadman mode is hosted with a philosophy that Deadmen must be self sufficient, gather their own resources and always risk their own hard work. For that reason this season we will be implementing strict rules and will be monitoring deadmen related logs for any suspicious activity. This is also involved alternative character.;

- Trading items is disabled and not allowed;
- Selling items in auction house at low prices to make a trade is not allowed;
- Using mules to hold or transfer items is not allowed;
- Swapping items between regular game mode and DMM is not allowed, game moderators can only transfer you subscription cards;
- Trying to gain any wealth in a way that obviously show an attempt to transfer items between chars will be taken as a bannable offense as well. If there are any questionable situations, staff reserves the right to discuss the situation internally and take appropriate action against offenders.

If you find that being self sufficient is not your cup of tea, please do not complain or play DMM trying to break the rules, just skip this particular activity and enjoy the regular game mode. There will be other DMM seasons in the future and the rules may be different, but for this event, these are the rules. Breaking of any DMM rules will result in a ban of all parties involved, ban will count as a ban on regular game mode and may move you towards a list ban if you've been banned in the past.


End game and prizes:


The last day of this season When will be the last day you will be able to use these characters as Deadmen.
If you die on the last day, between Remove?T, your character will be banned until the end of the season.
On Date? DMM S3 characters will be converted to normal characters, this season, with NO XP reduction in combat stats. Skilling stats will be reduced to that of our regular XP rates.

I see nothing in the rules about it - I'm assuming it's OK to multi-log as long as you don't do any trading between characters and build each one up on their own?

Like for example using one character to defend from an attacker in a dangerous area while another is skilling. Is this allowed?

Same rules as last year that nobody wanted to play?  Was really looking forward to this, but disappointed now.  Thought for sure the rules and accessible areas would get switched up.

There will be other DMM seasons in the future and the rules may be different, but for this event, these are the rules.

Kind of ironic that this was just copied and pasted from last years.  Cmon staff, you're doing a great job elsewhere but it seems this season of dm is having very little effort put in.  There's so many variations you could do and so much potential for this mode that this seems like a real cop out.

F2p only is perfect
no wildy is perfect

things that could be better:
last DMM drops were very very bad and a lot of people maxed out before even getting a r2h drop. Drop rates were not mentioned but this is the reason everyone quit early on last time. If the drop rates are just as low whoever gets most kills very early on will win.

Last time underground dungeons level cap was 3-123 in a lot of places which made no sense either.

30Min punishment for a skull? but why? F2p area is really small, you cant go near banks skulled so more than 5minute skull is overkill.

a month long grinding and hiding mode despite the sick prizes is not what will get people hooked on this mode. You want people playing this mode the entire summer month Id say what needs to be done is make it action filled. Ez drops, xp for Pking people, okay droprates. Might consider bigger xp rates.


Oprah:

Good call numb nuts, now the wilds more dead than ever. This is why the pkers shouldn't have an opinion. It's a skillers wild, the pkers are followers and always have been. They log in for 30 mins a day and if there isn't any pk it's more like 5 mins. Let the great ideas come from the people who play the game for hours.

Good suggestions smile Thank you. I'll forward these along. We're still tweaking final details so a post with updated, final rules and etc. will be posted before launch.

Additional rules and/or limitations would not improve on the currently posted rules, it would just make it more restrictive.  The mode should have been completely reworked using user feedback.  Adding some minor variations isn't going to fix last years mode.  After day 2-3 of last year it was pretty much dead except for maybe 5 people online at any given time.  This would have been a great opportunity for custom areas, NPC's and items available to dm only that could wipe at the end of the mode.  Having a skilling reward and aspect is great, but skilling was very restrictive last year.  Even something closer to season 1 would have been an improvement.

I can only provide critique based on what's posted, I can't really take an ambiguous disclaimer into account.

The drops should be done differently or the drop rates for rune items should be higher, there were only a few people with full rune 2h last time and pretty much no1 else stood a chance against them and after a few days you literally had to walk hours to find a fight

I'll admit right off the bat that there are many people here that would have better pk ideas than I do, but this is what I would have thought would have made for a better DMM:

1.  Remove level cap on combat.  If people want to put in the effort to be able to smash on people, more power to them.  in Season 1 we had people with 99 strength in under a couple days.  It's not that hard with these inflated XP rates.

2.  Enable the entire world.  I know what you're thinking, it'll be too hard to find people to PK.  Solution:  Add all DMM to the in-game world map.  I know n0m tested out this feature before, so it can be done.  Maybe add a custom item that on use removes you from the map for 2-3 minutes so you can sneak up and hunt people.  Increase teleport timer to 15-20 seconds from 10.

3.  Remove the XP loss on death.  The item loss is enough.  The item loss is a benefit to the killer, and a detriment to the person who died.  The XP loss is simply a grief factor, it makes the game less fun for the person who died, but doesn't add any benefit to the person who killed them.  Removing the XP loss will make people less scared to PK after building up skills.  If someones going for the high skill prize and has 80+ crafting/mining/smithing, do you really think they're gonna stay and fight?  Na, they're gonna hide and/or haul ass to a safe zone.

4.  Add some fun new combat items.  Let things be a bit OP and unbalanced, it's only for a month.  Of course the items will be removed when the chars are converted to normal characters.  Bring on the dragon chain, legs, large and 2-hander that only drop from high level NPC's, it adds incentive to play the mode.

5.  The self-sufficient concept but still enabling the auction house doesn't make sense.  In my eyes, you should be able to trade among YOUR OWN deadman characters.  How do you do this without people having mules being an issue?  Team banks only.  To be on a team, all team members have to be on the same forum account, and have to have the same IP whitelist.  This will still deter people from account sharing because of the risk of losing your own bank if your teammate dies.  Trading is disabled, but you can deposit into your team bank on one char and withdraw on another.  This brings MORE characters into the world and the appearance of a more active server because people will multi, which will in turn create more pking.  Since except for one place, the whole world is single-combat, I don't see the downside in letting people multi this mode.

6.  I know I’ll get ostracized for this, but the cash prize thing just seems unnecessary.  I think there are better in game prestige rewards that would be more fun and wouldn’t cost the staff anything.  Maybe special custom rares, vouchers for future holiday rares, something of that nature that would have significant in-game value.

I kept reading but I'm not ignorant enough to think the map showing where other players are is a good idea LUL, the guessing is part of the fun. Walking around the entire f2p and p2p map isn't fun. We all did that on the first Deadman

Well that's quite the contradiction, isn't it now?

You can walk around guessing all day in the wilderness right now.  This mode is supposed to be fresh.  Adding a new concept like marked players on the map is one of several good options to change how PKing works.  You're complaining that you did that in season 1, well season 1 still had a much better participation rate than season 2.  You'd rather walk around the empty f2p area finding nobody?

I am so disappointed literally nothing was changed besides the removal of supply drops which was literally the only good thing of last DMM, it was just bad drop ratios... I seen so many people abusing auction house and still trading / transfering / using mules. The winning character literally had 4 people using it.. why is that a thing?

And a full month this time? it didnt last 4days last DMM.. $1200 prize seems more like your hoping we'll all sub up and you'll double up.. I think you need to completely rethink this.

FFS, make it easy.

We need more cabbage patch wars and less pixel hugging edge sitters.  No safe zones.

Full loot, no protecting anything, no safe deposit box.  Exp loss is stupid.  Encourages people not to fight.

Allow trading.  Banks are for gold only.  Can multi fight anywhere.  No restrictions.  Any combat can attack any other combat level.  Makes checking builds useless, and more training = better fighting.  Multi logging will be a thing of the past, if both chars are running for their life from a higher level char.  He who has the better char and better clan wins.

Basically, fight anywhere, clan based wars, you die and you lose everything.  Just like the good old days.

Hardly anyone played last season.  Too many god damn restrictions.

This is far from a mandatory event. You do not need to participate if you don't want to, nor does anyone have to buy subs.

I don't recall the exact number off the top of my head, but there were more than 200 DMM characters who participated last year.  Ofc many stopped playing DMM because they simply could not keep up due to real life obligations, and had no chance of winning

What is more intriguing, is why you have to make brand new forum accounts to make such complaints and accusations.
