Old School Content Poll #54: Binding spells, F2P Castle Wars, etc.

-

Total Votes: 42,362

We'd like to increase the viability of the standard spellbook and the Preserve prayer, as well as granting F2P some access to Castle Wars and improving the Lighthouse dungeon.

There's also a large bunch of smaller quality-of-life jobs from your many requests.

This poll will close on Thursday 13th July.
