Title

PoH's could be so much more, they used to be more or less one of the centers of player socialization and a major skill hub.

for example, chat with some lads and have fun while doing so? go chill at my PoH dungeon/game room and screw about. Skilling? best prayer method in RS + easy teleports in an era where teleportation was a royal pain in the platelegs. plus lore storage, costume rooms and a workshop to make maitnence of the at the time BIS armor cheaper.

Sadly as power creep (namely invention) and socialization slowly pushed construction to the background, all devs who worked on construction... well they left. Construction is now my main example whenever people make the argument "just let old content die" as it ends up like construction, only useful for a brief window of gametime and so outdated it can no longer be updated.

So, yeah, lets just rebuild it from the ground up. Make pohs become relevant to all skills, whether that's by adding custom farm plots or our own obelisk for pouch production to in general just providing passive buffs from the PoH akin to player owned farms that greatly assist skilling combat and miscellaneous activities..

PoH's really have endless potential....they just need to act on it.

Untrue. There are a lot of people very passionate about Construction.
