If PvP is gonna be implemented, why not have a separate PvP server?

ah yes with those infinite resources we have

The answer is it's super inefficient and completely pointless.

PvP servers take a lot of management to run, but if someone hosts one I think we should totally add it to the launcher

How feasible would it be to have the server serve multiple worlds with different configs from the same machine, without having multiple processes (and saving memory by having an immutable parse of the regions shared between worlds)?

If we had PvP worlds properly implemented such that there's an authentic way to gain ancient warrior's gear, we could put the post-2011 additions to the revenant/chaos elemental drop tables behind a config toggle.

not feasible at all

I'm not saying we could add post-2011 content, I'm saying we could remove post-2011 content.

The current implementation already has post-2011 content (ancient warrior's gear dropping from revenants and the chaos elemental; which is a change that was introduced in February 2011: https://runescape.wiki/w/Update:The_Wil ... de_Return!).
