Are RuneScape’s 2007 servers not quite old school and hardcore enough for you? Well then, Jagex has a solution to help you keep your edge: new deadman PvP worlds.
Deadman mode, which is activated on three of Old Schoool RuneScape’s servers, is a more intense PvP setting with fully open world PvP and harsh death penalties: “If you die to a player, you will lose the 28 most valuable stacks of items from your bank to a bank raid, all items that you have on your person, and half of the experience you have gained in any unprotected skills,” Jagex warns.
Even getting offed by a PvE mob will set players back some as well, although there are limited ways to protect skill progression and personal items in this mode.
Other features in deadman mode include being able to loot an enemy player’s bank after killing him or her, faster progression than normal servers, and a special PvP currency that can be used to procure a deadman outfit.
