Could we be allowed to get a cat fully grown after completing the quests that require a cat? It’s annoying when my cat dies and I have to wait 3 hours for it to grow to full to then use it to kill some rats for a chance at a boost.

I suspect the answer to this one will be to take better care of your cats. Getting fully grown cats right off the bat would at minimum need to cost the equivalent of the death runes they can be traded in for.

Does reporting them like this actually do anything?

And couldn‘t you potentially blacklist any ‚gambling‘ related names? Eg. BET/ROLL ect

Reporting does help, blocking names wouldn't be too worthwhile as there are surprisingly players who are playing legitimately with the name with no dodgy activity and as seen from the screenshot they would just go to jumbled up names.

If you went to the Support Center and searched "bond" then the article Transfer Bonds will have appeared. Follow the guide, and it'll result in you being able to submit a payment ticket for assistance.

Hey all, just to clarify some things and allay any fears about getting new players.

Jad definitely isn't in Recipe for Disaster, you're quite right.

This isn't anything from the official store listing. This is a snippet from a longer article that the App Store themselves published some months ago. If you're on an iOS device you can read it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1455301149

I've had a look at this and the vast majority of your chat does seem to be song lyrics. It looks like people find that quite disruptive, I'd imagine more so for people who don't know the songs and will perceive you are just chatting random nonsense. You got reported 75 times for this disruption which triggered a review of your chat.

Within your chat there is a lot of mention of guns and cocaine, although it does seem to be song lyrics. However, there are also some references that do not appear to be song lyrics, for example use of hate terms.

On balance I've removed the temporary mute for you, given the potential that some of your inappropriate chat is replicated lyrics, but I've also sent you some of the chat that concerned us, so you can get the full context that this mute wasn't just for 'singing Johnny Cash songs'.

Moving forwards, I'd suggest you consider whether replicating hundreds of lines of song lyrics in game is considerate to other players, and ...

Crystal crown, and the boots from Lliann's shop would sort that outfit right out, maybe find a different amulet though.

I've just banned (or secured if compromised) over 3,500 accounts directly related to this activity. There's things in the works to hopefully stem the flow of this kind of behavior long term.

It doesn't hurt to poll stuff...

Just poll Gauntlet loot buff, if the community wants it, it gets 75%. Just poll Blade of Saeldor buff, if the community wants it, it gets 75%.

There is no downside to poll these things, just f**king do it. I don't understand what is taking you guys so long.

The content has just been released, and we are continuing to monitor things. We will poll things as and when we see fit, I don't understand what you mean by "taking us so long" when the content hasn't even been out for two weeks yet?

It only needs 100 shards to charge. I think the weapon is fine as is. You shouldnt make it compete with a rapier. Blade reqs no items and gauntlet, rapier is a reward for the hardest pvm content, tob.

If you’re going to buff the blade, buff rapier too then.

Other suggestion: make the blade speed 5 (long sword) with a higher str bonus at the cost of some speed. That way it’ll fill it’s niche use in a different way that isn’t an exact rapier clone. It’ll be slower but hit higher and be somewhat similar dps if you plug the numbers in right.

The main change I was personally thinking was to make it 50 charges per shard, but I understand your feedback. We won't be making any changes to the Ghrazi rapier alongside any changes though.

I did, and a few others on the OldSchool team did as well. Agile, Witchdoctor mask, Inferno adze and a max cape were the real Gs.

We actually discussed adding this as a potential reward from the Prifddinas agility course, however with graceful being in the game already it was somewhat difficult to find it a niche. It could potentially come in the future if it had good enough reason to.

Comment

Ever since initially pitching aerial fishing I wondered when I'd see someone do this. Congrats!

I've briefly spoken with the others about this subject, and I'd honestly expect to see a poll question soon about increasing the number of charges per shard on the blade. I'm unsure yet about whether or not we'd change the max charges that is is able to store, that would still require further discussion, just know that we're monitoring everything that was released with Prifddinas and if we feel a change needs to be made based on feedback, we'll poll it.

Anyways. Recolours, petscape, and these newschool fashionscape changes..is that really what people want to see?

Sometimes something prestigious to flex that has no real impact on gameplay other than being a cosmetic is a nice thing for people to grind for in a game, and it's one of the main things I enjoy going for so there's probably other people out there with the same mindset.

Hey mod curse any chance of zolcano dragon pickaxe changing? The original teaser you have pinned on your Twitter looks 1000% better. Don't see a reason why you guys added that gold accent

The gold was added to fit Zalcano's theme more.

This is great! I imagine that this is quite a bit larger than a standard horror? Perhaps the mask it drops could be a shield...

Hey, /u/Mod_West !

My last image was too large for Reddit, so I had to break it down into smaller concept images and add it to an imgur album. I made some changes to this previous idea I had. I am mostly concerned with your opinion regarding Hunter Marks, the Trapper's Chest, and Rare Beast Encounters--three new features that give incentive to train the Hunter Skill.

If you have a minute, please give it a read!

This is great! We haven't officially started work on Varlamore ( we have other projects we want to get to first) but I'll certainly keep this post saved for when we get properly into it (: There's some great ideas here that will certainly be viable for a guild! Great job putting this all together.

1: My assumption is that more P-mods will help to lower the amount of scammers, advertising bots or dicing bots or "very toxic players". I understand that a temporary mute won't delete the guys from the servers, but making them unable to chat lowers the casualties I guess. What are your thoughts about this? Are there any pros and cons I'm unaware of on a higher amount of P-mods in the game?

2: The wiki page about P-mods states there are about 1600 P-mods in OSRS. Are they all active players? My first thought would be: no, because I rarely see a P-mod in the game and I'm a very frequent player. I do understand not every P-mod is an active talker every time he/she is online. But the amount of times I see 'bad people' in the game not getting muted or whatsoever gives me the feeling there are not enough people with the ability to combat the 'bad people'.

3: How does one apply to become a P-mod or is it only possible to be chosen ...

1. The impact is probably less than you might think, because those accounts have a vested interest in retaining a presence in game, as soon as an account is muted it will be replaced - so it adds a few seconds of inconvenience, but it wouldn't help on a larger scale.

2. There are about 1,600 in total across both games, about half in each (actually slightly more in OS and a few accounts who play both of course). They are all active in terms of logging in within the past few months, but as we don't place any sort of minimum activity requirement it will vary across the team from daily players through to those who only play a few times a month or so. Bear in mind P Mods will be from a wide range of countries as well, if you always play in the evening for example, you are unlikely to see a P Mod who also plays in the evening but in a very different time zone.

3. P Mods are selected by Jagex. We start with a randomly selected group of about 1,000 accounts that meet crit...
