I'm surprised this is an easter egg not many know about. This was a huge thing back in the day to gain effigies.

It's always awesome people find Easter Eggs in this game - it's incredible how many there are!

Kind of different question: is it possible for a jmod to change your email address linked to an account?

We wouldn't do it on a blind state as there's certain processes to it, i.e. verifying the identity of someone trying to change. We have a support page for this exact situation.

Good advice, but does it actually matter for RuneScape?

As far as I'm aware Jagex doesn't use the login email other than for login purposes and to initiate the account recovery process.
It doesn't set your registered email, which you'll have to do that yourself. And Jagex allows the registered email to be used for multiple accounts.

In other words, you can use whatever you want. It doesn't even need to exist. Jagex doesn't verify it.

What I did was come up with an username and then throw in a @ and a . somewhere.
I'll use your Reddit name "JagexConsuela" as an example. You would be able to register an account under the email J@gex.Consuela and it works, even though the email doesn't exist.

Not sure if that is intended, but it makes accounts safer. Because normally you would use the email everywhere else, but because this email doesn't exist and is exclusively used f...

I would personally not recommend doing this. If a hijacker somehow gets access to your account, it's harder to recover without an email associated. As always the best security is to have 2FA on your email, 2FA on RuneScape associated to that email, and have a different and unique password for both. This way you guarantee a higher security while maintaining the ability to recover your account.

Hi! To add to /u/William2692's answer, if you really want to use the same email for a new character and if you use Gmail, you can effectively have more than one character under the same email.Gmail allows you to add ...+text at the end of your email, which will be considered a new email for most websites, but the same one for Gmail.

E.g. [ellevehc@gmail.com](mailto:ellevehc@gmail.com) - one email on Gmail, one character on...

Lmao. My bad for missing that part of the chicken farm with the blue box - pretty sure you won't get XP in that part either.

Wow, I bet even /u/JagexHusky wasn't expecting you guys would find them so quickly.

I swear to f**king god, I'm willing to bet you wiki admins know way more about all the little things in the game than the jmods themselves. I would totally watch a contest where you guys and the jmods get tested on in game knowledge.

Yeah, i'm surprised that they found all of the ones (that I can remember at least) within a week. Very impressed, i'll just have to get better at hiding them in the future!

Since this has come as a result of a change i've made I feel like I should comment.

First of all, no pure actually contacted me or asked me to make the change. I came to the realization myself post-release that getting the altar back awarded prayer xp and that this choice becomes more significant to an account wanting to train at the undead druids next to the altar but did not want to gain prayer xp.

The intention when designing the content was to make the player face consequences for choosing to attack Olbertus but only so that they would have to walk a harder path to get it back. Since there is no warning when attacking Olbertus that the altar will be cursed it felt more harsh than intended to take away the altar from them when they had access to it beforehand. The player was always supposed to be able to get the altar back given a bit of work.

However, if I had designed it so that they couldn't use the altar at all before making the choice then I would no...

I guess they absorb the effect for longer?

Or they could potentially sell a small tub of it for 30gp.

How far does the rabbit hole go.

Alternatively we gather your feedback and update the blog addressing all concerns and feedback all at once like we usually do instead of drip feeding through comments 😅

Why do you hate the defence stats in osrs, WHY WOLF WHY! Let me catch chins in peace wolfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Yikers.

I didn't actually instigate the Serp helm nerf. However, doing that much free damage without attacking back was something our team disliked so I don't regret that change.

The strength was a little too far for sure but that's back on now.

The upside of being originally built for dial-up modems and 256Mb of RAM! We went full circle.

200 IQ - Andrew 100% knew back in 2003 that the system would go on mobile. Probably.

whats the point in starting with both a sanfew and restore in lms when you only get 1 brew? wouldnt it make sense to just have 1 sanfew since pray doesnt drain

The reasoning behind this was that some weapons have stat drain effects so if you get hit by those you might wanna bring your defence back up. Try it out in the beta and let us know, we are always willing to make changes.

The rune armour and weaponry got me.
