Sounds good. I never really saw why updates where on Thursday anyway except for that is the day that was chosen. RS2 would generally aim for Monday or Tuesday and it makes sense to put out updates earlier in the week.

RuneScape used to update on Tuesdays, and it's sensible to keep the day after free so that we're not stepping on eachother's toes if things go wrong and reboots and whatnot need to happen. That was a while ago, and now RuneScape aim for Mondays. That means we're in a good position to bring our update earlier to Wednesday!

I think this is great. It gives the team the ability to fine polish the release in the early stages of the week, but also gives them plenty of time to fix urgent things that might have been caused by the release the rest of the week.

Logical

The polish should still be there, we'll just adjust our review time and whatnot, but the main benefits are in the second half of what you said - resolving issues that might emerge after an update.

Livestreams originally moved to Wednesdays so you could show off sneak peaks for the next days update. Will this new schedule mean it'll be a sneak peak at the next week or the previous days update?

We're still trying to work this out. It's especially tricky remotely since we've got both us and RuneScape gunning for stream time. As it stands it'll be both next week/previous day's update, but future schedule changes could happen which brings a stream forward, like it currently is.

I wonder what the reason is behind the schedule change. They say they reviewed it, but what is the reason behind that review?

There will be no game update next week. The Jagex family are putting down their tools to take a couple of days to focus on personal development and skills growth.

Hope y’all are okay and doing good with your mental health, that’s important and we all care about you guys 🥰

Thank you! We hope you're doing well too. Please take care of yourselves <3
