 * Are there plans in place to split worlds if we have a turnout akin to what we had previously. 01:31, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, we have *I hope 0_0* learnt from last time. We now have multiple clan chats set up properly which can be used incase we get a large turnout. 39 and 40 are the first choices for world ofc but with large enough teams it shouldn't be a problem finding another world and crashing randoms >:D - 02:59, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

what clan chat?
what clan chat? and lootshare or coin share? --Qazwsx753421 04:57, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Coinshare. As for a cc we'll start with "Gaz Lloyd" but may need to also use other cc's if we get a large turnout. - 05:04, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, we'll be in GLL as a starting cc - 13:02, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * ... actually, go RSW Events >_> thats my last change - 15:30, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why coinshare? We lost untradable stuff and recieve a -5% income with other drops. 210.184.231.8 12:12, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just because its easier and more convenient - 12:15, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

BoB or healer
I'm aware of the issue with retaliating familiars (from painful first hand experience :/). How difficult is it to get your familiar to attack a minion? ie am I going to get "Your familiar is too far away" messages unless I'm careful about where I stand? Assuming I think I can manage that, what's preferred between a unicorn and war tortoise? Stewbasic 14:06, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * You won't get the "your familiar is too far away" message, the room is quite small and the minions stick around Graardor so they can easily attack all players standing close enough to them (for the ranger and meleer, at least). It's not difficult to do, but if you don't pay attention, or if the minion randomly walks out of range, that could be the end of your life. (Not to mention there will probably be a lot of people there... Familiars and bodies clogging up the space, making it hard to see what your familiar is attacking. I'd take a pony. 14:48, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Another tactic is too call your familar every few second's so it can't have enough time to initiate a attack, although when getting damage this tactic becomes more dangerous, as you can't call and heal readily making the general more likely to attack you.

time?
How long will the trip be? -
 * We will be staying there for quite a few hours. You are free to come and go as you please. - 02:33, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

Timing
First of all, is there a reason this is always on Saturday? Can we try Sunday once? I can't speak for everyone but maybe we can vote on which day is more convenient?

Also, will there be a way for latecomers to get help entering the GWD if it is their first time or its straightforward enough? Since I won't be able to join the fun until at least 1.5-2hours into the GWD party. - 613angel
 * Saturday is by far the best time for the widest range of players. If we moved it to early on Sunday, we'd have a much smaller turnout as most people prefer to stay up a bit later rather than wake up early on a Sunday. If we made it late on a Sunday, most people will be preparing for work/school and wont be able to come and those in the Eastern hemisphere of the world will be required to wake up and play on a Monday morning right before work/school.


 * Sorry, we arent going to have people leave the boss chamber and head to falador for players that are a whole 2 hours late. You'll need to make it there yourself. We'd hate for someone to miss a bandos split just to make a trip a little bit safer, you should be fine be yourself if you wear a zamorak and bandos item :) - 05:41, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and sorry if this isn't formatted correctly, this is 1 of my first formal posts as a wiki member and I still have no idea how to do most types of editing and formatting properly (the original question was me forgetting to sign in first (like for example how to get this to indent and be a reply and not a continuation of your post)


 * As a second question, can we have a backup CC ready? since if the first on is full, those coming in late might have a hard(er) time figuring out which world and which CC. - 613angel 15:28, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, we have quite a few ccs ready to use incase we get a big turnout. Having a 50 man mass is quite silly as all drops will be worth almost nothing. So we will direct excess from the first cc into other ccs on different worlds. - 20:36, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Can the gmt be moved to like 6pm because alot of runescape uk players wont be able to do 10pm i enjoy these god wars trips like a zamy one so will 6pm be alringt and can i loan a bgs for the event otherwise it is the ancient mace which is like a bronze dagger but worse - robe omega
 * Well, currently it looks like this:


 * If we changed it to 6pm it would look like:


 * This makes it difficult for Australia and Asia to attend and we were aiming to make this event a bit easier for them as the times for the last few events have been 11am, 7am, 7am, 7am, 10am, 6am, 6am for them. We will return to the regular times soon. - 09:29, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Kill Count
Does your kill count reset if you are in the main, 4 God Chamber and you log out? (thinking on leaving my account, with 40 Bandos kills there in advance so I can get inside quickly) Also, just pointing out that if there are more than 15 people on a world, it might take a while for everyone to get 40 kills (or is it easier than i think for people of higher levels than me) -- 613angel 01:25, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Kill count does not reset when you log out. It only does when you leave the GWD area. 01:26, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * it resets when you go into the chamber--Qazwsx753421 08:41, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, 40 are removed when you enter the Boss' Chamber - 08:44, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Timing
Speaking as someone living in the East Coast, it is also easier for Americans to be playing in the (late) afternoon than it is in the morning
