    I think that's around 2008 for me, mainly because that period is the most memorable for me. Loved it, but will never comeback the way I experienced it back then.

    2007 is the softspot but there were certain things from some eras that stood out by far.

    Saying that, the attitude towards pking was also different. Not everyone was a master at 1 ticking and safing was considered really nooby.

    Hard choice between 07, 08-09 & 11. Feel like that applies for most people.
    I went with 2011 on the poll although on second choice I'd probably have picked 08-09 > 11 > 07.

    2011 was done right, and possible the best year for RS in general. I do miss it a lot.

    2010/11 for me for sure. Think you forgot to mention Bounty Hunter craters too, those were pretty fun.

    Your dates are incorrect e.g. curses came out in 2010 not 2009, same with "Wilderness only PVP worlds".

    Probably 2014-15 era of osrs.
    More variety than vanilla 2007, not ruined by newer arguably OP items that have been released since, back when a large majority of PKers were fairly average in terms of their ability. World 18 (bounty hunter world) was insanely active.
    Either that or 2010 - 2011, but disregarding summoning, rushers and other bs that plagued PKing back then.
