Multi-Combat Zones

 * We've all seen, used, or hated them at one point, but do multi-combat area really help?

Okay, at this point, you're going to have to role-play a bit. Remember being a new player? How odd and far away everything was? How easy it was to die?
 * Well, with the multi-combat zones, a higher leveled player (if they so wish) could protect these so called "noobs" from dying. Why? Well, why do you do anything on RuneScape? For fun.
 * But, I digress. There is also some amount of opposition to these zones. "Kill stealers" are really no fun. These are the people who stand in multi-combat zones and kill everything, even if you ask them to stop. For lower-leveled players trying to train, these people can be a real nuisance. Also, the idea of "multi-combat" applies to enemies as well, so they can "gang-up" on you. Okay, here's an example: just recently, I crossed White Wolf Mountain alone. Or attemped, I should say. I was on the summit, and I had been way-laid by two White Wolves. I knew I was in trouble, as these were the 50-odd level ones. I was level 34 at the time. I died, losing a full mithril set of armor, as well as 14 dreadfowl pouches my friend was offering 15k for. Then, that was a lot of money to me.
 * Some say there should be more of these multi-combat zones, while some say there should be less, or none at all. I, for one, beleive that there should be more. Many more. Indeed, sometimes, the kill stealers are a nuisance, but you can find somewhere else to train. And... By the gods, I just realized something. The people who say there should be none are actualy kind of, well, unintellegent. Imagine this: Fighting the Corporal Beast ALONE. Or the King Black Dragon with no one else other than you fighting it. Even level 100's might not like those odds.
 * So, you see, there is pro's as well as cons to multi-combat zones. So watch out for those crossed swords in the corner of your screen!
