Zaros Deadman Mode!

[David]

 

Announcing Zaros DMM!

Zaros Deadman server will be hosted seasonally running 1 week long tournaments in typical deadman fashion. The week long grind will finish off with a permadeath stage with the final contestants heading to the 1v1 tournament to take home the grand prize!

Feel free to join our official DMM discord - All DMM related news and updates will be posted on there:

What is DMM?
Vanquish your foes and fight for survival in Zaros's most perilous game variant. The DMM tournament is dangerous, there's unique content changes, and nobody is safe! Begin your DMM journey as a fresh noob and, with accelerated XP rates and more item drops, create a monstrous account for PKing!

What are the prizes?
We will be giving huge amounts of OSRS gp ranging from 5b to 10b! Upon winning a DMM tournament you will also get a permanent statue dedicated to you and your clan displayed in the DMM lobby. 

Is there going to be a beta?
Yes, we are inviting clans to join the beta to make sure they can help us test. This should help you ensure all your training spots and escape methods are working correctly.

When does the tournament start?
We don't currently have a date for when the tournament will start as we want to have a smooth beta first however we don't envision that it'll be a long time, join the Zaros DMM discord to stay updated.

Will my account have its donator status from the eco world?
No, accounts are completely separate other than login information. DMM accounts are completely wiped after every tournament, although we are considering allowing pets to carry over.

Will you sell anything on DMM?
We don't have to. It depends on the feedback we get from the clan leaders. We can either go with selling nothing or selling basic stuff like untradeable, whatever you guys want we can do.

Quick comment on something goes hand in hand with DMM, swapping. Swapping between Zaros eco server and DMM will be allowed but not regulated meaning it is at your own risk. Zaros staff members will not middleman these trades, assist in them or help if you were to be scammed although if we do see you purposely trying to scam then we are still inclined to punish.

If you're looking to join or create a clan then feel free to look around our recruitment board. https://forum.zaros.io/forum/92-clan-recruitment/

 

DMM Rules:

Spoiler

Zaros DMM will be driven by PKers and clanning thus little to no moderation will take place. Although the rules and environment will differ from the eco server we have a couple rules we will continue to enforce:

1. Real World Trading: Ban *Time varies*
Purchasing, selling goods, or services (accounts, real life items, RSGP, Microsoft points, riot points for Zaros items etc.) will not be tolerated and action will be taken.
Swapping between Zaros & Zaros DMM is allowed, however is done at your own risk.

 

2. Bug Abuse: Perm Ban/IP-Ban
Abuse of a bug or glitch that allows a player to somehow have an advantage over another or the server itself is not tolerated. We ask all members to report them as soon as they're found otherwise a permanent removal from the community will be issued.

 

3. Third Party Software/Botting: Jail/Ban
The use of third party software that allows a member to have an unfair advantage in any way will result in a punishment that the staff member attending sees fit.

 

4. Misleading Links, Hacking, Ddos/Dox: IP Ban
a. Misleading links are never allowed on the server, we expect links to open up to us what it was advertised for. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a permanent removal from the community. 
b. Hacking in any shape or form will result in a permanent removal from the community, simply put.
c. Sharing private and personal information anywhere on the server is a serious offense and will not be tolerated, resulting in punishment without warning.

 

Now onto some of the notable DMM features...

Danger:
Most of the Zaros map is a dangerous area, where other players can attack and kill you.

• There are several guarded areas which are protected by guards (level 1337).
• Guards in these areas will attack dangerous skulled players until they're killed.

Protect yourself:
Other players will be out to get you, but it's not all bad. We give you these tools to protect yourself with:

•  When you first login to a DMM world you'll have 30 minutes of protection time, during which you're not able to be attacked. During this time any XP gained will be double what it otherwise would be.
• You can protect two Combat skills and three non-Combat skills. You won't lose any XP in protected skills if you die (unless you die in a guarded area with a PK skull - see the next section). You can do this by opening the items lost on death interface from the equipment tab.
• You can insure your Hitpoints level by talking to Gelin in Lumbridge. Your Hitpoints level will never fall below the level of the respective insurance fee you've paid (level 25, level 50, or level 75).
• You can find safe deposit boxes in banks with Financial Wizards. Within these boxes you can protect 10 items (individual items, not stacks of items). Items protected within this box will never be lost on death.

Dying:
A death in DMM can be seriously punishing. You can lose items and you can even lose XP!

• If you're killed by another player...
  • you'll lose the 10 most valuable stacks of items from your bank, along with all equipped items and items within your inventory. The player who killed you will gain access to these items in the form of a bank key.
  • whilst you have a PK skull, you'll lose XP. The exact amount is based on the combat level of the player that kills you.
  •  but if you don't have a PK skull, then you won't lose any XP.
• If you're killed by an NPC...
  • while you have a PK skull, you'll lose the 10 most valuable stacks of items from your bank, along with all equipped items and items within your inventory.
  • while you have a PK skull, you'll 50% of XP in any unprotected skills.
  • but you don't have a PK skull, then it's just like any death in Zaros. You won't lose any XP, and the only items you'll keep are the three most valuable that are equipped or in your inventory.
  • If you're killed within a guarded area whilst you have a PK skull, you'll lose 10% of your XP in skills that you've protected.
  • Dying with, or dropping, a stack of Chinchompas will cause it to appear on the ground, visible to all players.

EXP Rates:
Gaining XP is greatly accelerated, and rates differ based on where you are in the game world.

• You'll gain XP in safe areas at a rate of 20x.
• You'll gain XP in dangerous areas at a rate of 30x.
• Regaining XP that you lost by dying will be at a further-increased rate of 100x.

Killing other players:
Wreaking havoc by killing your fellow players is a great way to ensure a competitive advantage!

• You'll get a special key when you kill another player. With this key you can raid the bank (specifically the 10 most valuable stacks of items) of the player you killed. You can do this by using the keys on special chests found within some banks.
• You can carry up to five of these keys at any one time!
• Carrying any of these keys will result in a special skull icon appearing above your character which indicates how many keys you have.
• You'll get a PK skull when you attack any other player. It lasts for 15 minutes.
• If you're already skulled and you attack another player, the timer will be extended by two minutes up to the regular 15 minute timer.
• There is a skull penalty for all players attacking a skulled player. The skull penalty will last for five minutes. If you previously had a skull with less than five minutes remaining it will revert to five minutes. If you previously had a skull with longer than five minutes remaining it will remain unchanged.
• There is a one minute grace period for reasonable kills. This is a temporary status of immunity from the attacks of other players. A reasonable kill can be defined as killing a player within 30 combat levels of yourself. If killing a combat level higher than yourself you will always receive this grace period of immunity (e.g. a level 90 killing a level 126 will receive the grace period). If you die or attack another player within this minute then you will lose the remaining grace period. The grace period will be lost upon logging out.

LOTS of loot:

• All rare drops will be four times more common than usual.
• Killing any NPC will give you a chance at landing on a special DMM loot table that contains highly sought-after supplies like potions, food, herblore supplies, and runes. The chance is determined by the combat level of the NPC. Bosses have an increased chance of hitting this table and Superior Slayer Creatures have a guaranteed chance.
• Killing NPCs in the Wilderness will give you a chance at landing on a special Wilderness DMM loot table which contains powerful equipment: Morrigan's Throwing Axe, Morrigan's Javelin, Zuriel's Staff, Statius's Warhammer, Vesta's Longsword, and Vesta's Spear. The chance is determined by the combat level of the NPC.
• In Barrows there is also a chance to obtain potions and potion ingredients. For potions, there is a 1-in-2 chance of gaining a stack of 3 (4)-dose potions when you roll on the Barrows Armour table. You will receive either Saradomin Brews, Super Restores, Ranging Potions or Super Combat Potions. There is a small chance of obtaining potion ingredients on the normal Barrows table. Note: due to limitations of the Barrows interface, it's possible that any items gained may instead appear in your inventory or on the floor. It is possible to receive the following: Crushed Nests, Red Spiders' Eggs, Wine of Zamorak, Limpwurt Roots, White Berries or Grimy Torstol.
• Dragons drop double the amount of bones.

Shady merchant: 

• The Shady Merchant is an NPC that moves every hour into a randomly spawned location across Zaros.
•  Find him to have a chance to buy valuable skilling supplies and a chance at "rare" items before others.
•  The Merchant likes to roam around to quite the variety of places. Some include:

Ardounge, White Wolf mountain, Tree Gnome Stronghold, Yanille, Castle wars, Rellekka, Monastery, Falador, Lumbridge swamp, Desert, Canifis, Brimhaven, Ferox Enclave, lava dragons, and lava maze.

Galvek:
Galvek is a world spawn boss that requires a team of players and some use of mechanics to avoid death while trying to secure a top spot.

• The boss appears every 3 hours and will announce 5 minutes before it's arrival of where it will spawn.
• The locations are always in the wilderness and multi-way combat zones.
• Top damage dealers are rewarded for their participation in killing the boss.
• Top 10 damagers will receive loot from the base table
• Top 3 damagers will receive loot from the base table aswell as have a chance (1/3) to receive a PvP weapon.

Spoiler

 

Deadman supply chests:
At 12am and 12pm UTC a supply chest will spawn in an announced location. To loot the chest, a player will need to remain uninterupted for 60 seconds. After opening the chest the player cannot use protect item or teleport for 5 minutes.

The chest rewards the opener with a guaranteed pvp weapon aswell as various supplies and alchables.

Don't get me wrong this is amazing news. But most of pkers have fucked off.

For something like this to take effect you're going to really need to advertise this like hell and try and get these pkers back, using every platform available because I don't think we have a big enough player base for DMM at the moment.

I don't want you guys spending tones of hours on this to then become something dead

I only know about this because I had a DM on discord from a random dude that I don’t even know. Literally have been looking every day for DMM content and I find that this has been here since April.

I have question, when i can expect Zaros team to fix this bug in mobile app. When i cross the ditch to wilderness on mobile app, when i open the minimap and then close the minimap, then my screen goes black and i can't move until i restart app. After restarting app and opening minimap again i have the same problem, i can use the map in safe zone without any problems but in the wilderness i have this bug. Sorry for language, i am from Poland 🙂
