Total Votes: 61,030
Poll 83 brings a whole suite of changes to Castle Wars aimed at both casual players and the dedicated Castle Wars community. Alongside these, we've got various improvements for brand new players to help get them situated and immersed in Gielinor.
To top it all off, we've got a helping of questions about anything and everything from Forestry, to the Explorer's Ring, to the Tithe Farm! There's bound to be something in here for you, so take a look!
This poll closes Monday, December 16th.
