Legendary moment here

You're welcome.

We know removing splashing around the entire game is something that requires a bit more care, it affects a lot of players who use this to train. This is something we'll be considering going forward for sure - we're just not ready to do so immediately.

This is a quick change we can make to ensure your first experience in Lumbridge isn't to see a large group of people splashing on rats etc.

Are they sneaking in a pet for the new boss?

If Mole gets one this surely should!

No sneaking required! There is a pet with this boss :)

Whilst I agree this is quite arbitrary/artificial, if you wish to splash currently, you can easily move elsewhere.

Apologies for that, polls should be available once again.

Original content.

Since the collection log data is stored somewhere already, how much work would it be to make an API/make the collection log data public? I made an online version of the log but players have to manually fill it right now. Would be nice to let it work with real data :)

I couldn't tell you the amount of work it would be, as I'm still quite new and learning how the systems work - but like I said, can't make any promises as we have higher priority things to do first.

The partnership poll questions are very misleading - the question should specify "as a partnership reward". Somebody who skims over the poll / doesn't read the blog would not know what they are voting for.

Would it be possible to restart this poll with the questions written more clearly?

We've just changed this actually. Changelog at the top of the blog here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/partnerships-and-old-school?oldschool=1

Adding them as a reward through partnerships helps to attract new players to the game.

I'd agree that growing the community through partnerships would be a great benefit. I believe my initial statement still holds true.

I'll post what I posted on twitter as I feel it is relevant.

The question I always had about this which I could not answer with a good conscience was "what benefit does adding them as a reward from a partnership give to the community which isn't gained by just giving them to players?".

I cannot see a benefit to the community and I'd prefer to see content like this added through the usual methods. Finding rewards for content has always been an issue and here we have a handful of rewards which can be used in a better way for the community.

What if I told you the green pixel never existed and it was a byproduct of the way the sprite was saved out many years ago and a recent re-save actually fixed the green pixel by accident so we just had to manually go back in and add a pixel which previously never actually existed.

Yeh. That just happened.

Comment

Everyone calm down! I have replaced the green pixel and you will see it again from Thursday's update!

For those interested in why... it's to do with image compression. When the new icons were added for clanwars options, it changed the way the image colours were compressed, there actually was never a green pixel in the original image - even though you can see it in game!

It looks like a Cloudflare issue (you can't open their site).

Dude the quality of your OC is incredible.

Unreal. Wonder what "Swampletics" has to say for himself.

Comment

Amazing! Absolutely loved it! Please keep these coming.

This is a really accurate reasoning - we haven't abandoned any quest line, but there are lots we just haven't continued yet.

Woof?
