Pips was a major reason MTX never entered OSRS and he oversaw the game during its most successful period.
I hope North continues this and isn't some shill put into place by the owners. He does have a long history with the game so that's good at least.
I just wanted to say that after personally spending time with Mod North, it's clear he has a huge passion for the games and maintaining what we're doing on both OSRS and RS is a priority. I have faith that this change will not be at the detriment of either games.
If you'd like to share any particular concerns please fill out the form in the blog as I'll use that to help guide any questions and answers in the next update North is due to provide :)
He worked for Jagex roughly 3 years until 2018, then went to 6 different companies before finally ending on CVC.. 6 companies in 7 years is a lot. He is not a loyal Jagex employee, his last role was a loyal CVC employee who got put in a position of power.
I can completely understand scepticism, I think its fair to be so given the nature of the change! But after personally spending time with Mod North I can safely say I do not believe this change will be at the detriment of either games. He is very passionate about both RS and OSRS, and maintaining what we've been doing until now is definitely a key priority.
I urge you to share any specific concerns you have via the form in the blog as I'll use it to guide the next update North is due to provide!
"What This Means for the RuneScape Games...this transition does not signal a change in monetisation strategy".
Wise of them to address that right away, lol.
Anyway, thank you Mod Pips for helping to get OSRS to where it is today, I absolutely love this game! Obviously some stumbling along the way, but nobody is perfect.
I hope you enjoy whatever it is you do next, and ignore all the negative little goblins that inevitably leave horrible comments in this thread.
Thank you for the kind words, he'll likely see it himself anyway but I will share it as I'm sure it'll be much appreciated!
Please grace us with 0% APR on annual mortgages… i mean memberships
Can we do both?
With recent world events it’s hard to take any “trust me” at face value
We’ll be watching
I'd expect nothing less, all I can ask for is patience as that trust can hopefully be built up over time
