"safe" PVP worlds (updated suggestion)

Suggestion

my suggestion to 'revive' pvp is to create a world (maybe a couple if its popular) where pvp is enabled across the map similar to pvp worlds but all deaths (probably excluding the wilderness) would be safe deaths. you would be able to attack anyone within your bracket anywhere. (+/- 15 just like pvp worlds). the worlds would function similar to deadman mode so as such there would be true-ish safe zones where guards would instantly spawn and put you down if you act up. to clarify these worlds would be part of the main game. its not an additional game mode

ever want to claw spec a ge spammer? i would. you could roll up to dust devils, abyssal demons clear out the fella there and claim the world for yourself. botters? goldfarmers? kill them. battle royale in barbarian village? yes please.

one of the main problems with the predator/prey dynamic of osrs is the prey generally has their inventory used up for pve/pvm and just general gameplay purposes whereas a pker can always have a full inventory of pk supplies creating a massive advantage for the pker. in previous posts i suggested leaving the looting bag active on these worlds as an incentive to use them and to give pvmers a fighting chance against pkers since they wouldnt have to use their inventories to pick up drops. however it seems this would be easily abused by hopping in and out of these worlds. i would still like some method of leveling the playing field between predator and prey, but the solution isnt clear to me atm. suggestions welcome

the benefits of having a few dedicated worlds like this would be massive in my opinion. including but not limited to:

  • fun. first and foremost i would exclusively play these worlds. the idea of being able to fight for resources and areas sounds amazing to me
  • arceus spells can see a huge uptick in use. since deaths will be safe i see no reason to not be able to open world pk using the arceus spells
  • bot/goldfarmer/ge spammer control. just kill them. bots spamming the ge? spec them out. cya
  • IRONMEN. the biggest positive in my opinion from an update like this would be giving ironmen the ability to pk. currently its all risk for literally no reward. ironmen could pvp with the items theyve accumulated and fight for resources and clout without risking years of gameplay going down the drain. one of the main things stopping me from making an ironman is the idea that ill never be able to pk on it without risking days weeks and months of grinding
  • huge potential for new items and more use for existing items. this is contentious but blighted items for example could be used everywhere on these worlds. saving inventory/gp for supplies at the cost of being vulnerable to attack
  • more alt accounts (id personally probably have 5 active) = more bonds = more revenue for jagex

id love to hear your guys suggestions and some of the better stuff i will save and add to future posts.
