2010 BS? You know OSRS came out right?
I believe it just comes down to if you want to PK on RSPS in 2017-2018, you choose a PK server. Anything else and most people are basically choosing it specifically because they aren't big into PKing.
For the case of ' what happened ' to 2010 BattleScape; OSRS happened. The majority of people playing private servers back then was to relive the old days of PKing, when OSRS came out a lot of servers lost their player base, as for BattleScape in particular we have a reputation so to speak. Lots of resets. That usually scares the veterans from coming back. I doubt we will have that amount of player again, and we'll never 'Bring back' old servers as they do not exist anymore.
As for PKing as of now the rewards could definitely be tweaked, we heavily depend on player feedback and suggestions so if nobody suggests things they wont be changed. At the moment the current pkers have nobody else to fight unless they ask in the Home cc, or they hunt PvMers doing bosses or Revenants. We have events, but those are mostly player driven. The staff team rarely holds events with rewards that anyone would bother to join 'EI. like 200m cash for first place, 150 for second and 100 for third' its really a waste of their time for so little.
Again, we run off of player suggestions. If you have any suggestions of your own in terms of PKing (rewards etc) make sure you let us know.
OSRS? How are so many people content with the grindfest it is to obtain 99 range, mage str, hp, and quest a pure? (especially those that did it like me, and their account rots on rs3)? Am I just that lazy? I wouldn't mind playing OSRS but I work 50 to 60 hours a week and it would be impossible to get 99's anytime soon not mention forget about a zerker not doing all those quests again.
Maybe I am the only one that wants to oldschool pk without spending ages to get there, and also do it for a reward/risk rather than just to kill to say you are better than the other person.
We should Eco reset, and make all of the pking items vote rewards and pvp drops. That'll encourage both voting AND pking.

There should, and could be a point to pking besides practice. Maybe I need to make a server "actually" centered around pvp, where the reason to pk is REWARD/RISK such as making the good pking items ONLY obtainable through means of PKING or VOTING. Throw in a story line and custom maps with Elvarg base or something decent and it might go somewhere.
