[2019] Draynor Dock and Lumbridge Pub

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for letting us know how they feel about the recent update - specifically the map changes in Lumbridge and Draynor. Even when something is not well received, it's encouraging to see your passion for the game which everyone in the Old School team shares. In the interest of transparency, here is our explanation and what we intend to do next.

A lack of communication during the design process resulted in these changes not being described in the quest announcement. In future, we'll make sure to include every change that will impact iconic areas of the game such as map changes like this when announcing updates. We want you to know exactly what it is being included when you make your decision at the poll booth.

In the meantime, we're considering our options for changing the dock in Draynor Village to something less dramatic. It's clear from your feedback that this change was more disconcerting than the Sheared Ram pub. Idea's we've seen so far include making it smaller, or changing it to a rowboat that could take the player to a ship further into the sea. Alternatively, the dock could be moved further south, much closer to the bridge to Wizards tower.

Let us know what you think about these ideas or if you have any of your own!
