/u/JagexGambit, please answer this. You realize by "nerfing" the proposed sandstone update, you've put high level ironman crafters at an even bigger disadvantage against those few who used the overlooked sandstone method (now patched) to get 24k buckets worth of sand per hour?

How in the world are we supposed to catch up to them now?

These numbers are based on mining and subsequently depositing the ore to the machine while not dropping lower valued Sandstone. It will not be possible to deposit noted Sandstone though it would be possible to run pre-banked Sandstone back and forth from the Quarry - however, Drew's location does not make this a particularly efficient process.

We looked into the numbers behind and found that actually very few players used this method to obtain large amounts of sandstone. The issue was fixed within a few hours - we hope that the location of the machine (as mentioned in the news post) should make this banked sandstone less efficient than it may have been were we to add a Sandstorm spell.

Does this mean it returns to how it was pre-ditch in 2006 or would it be like a visible magical barrier?

You weren't happy with Veos relocating to Draynor Village. Fair enough. After listening to your feedback on this thread, we have decided to move him back to Port Sarim, in front of the Rusty Anchor Inn. This keeps him somewhere fitting and still easy to find for new players.

The eagle-eyed among you will know that the Corsairs' ship is currently found there. To make room for Veos, we propose building a dock for them in Rimmington. This fits thematically as the corsairs no longer want to draw he...

Thanks we will look into this. We do have standards that we expect all P Mods to adhere to, and that includes choice of language and behaviour.

I don't want to create an environment where this platform becomes a place to 'highlight a P Mod swearing and get them demodded' and we will look at the wider chat logs and context before reaching a next steps decision in this case.

In fact, this incident was already known to us by the in game report abuse system, although that report was only received about an hour ago and we have not yet processed it.

For clarity, if we feel a volunteer Moderator is not behaving in a considerate manner, we reserve the right to remove their P Mod status and offer the role to someone else who has a better approach to self moderation.

I think it would be courteous and commendable if the OP now removed the image given it contains the P Mods character name.

Maybe we could launch it alongside a Raspberry Pi farming update 🤔

This week of QoL month, we're looking at re-running previous poll questions that only just failed, in case some players have changed their mind.

If there are any changes that you'd like us to run by you in the poll at the end of this week which didn't quite make it before, let us know here.

For a refresher on the history of our polls, check out this page on the Old School site.

BRB, adding extra content support to the engine so the content can support an engine that can support content.

These have never been confirmed. Maybe a J Mod said they were cool. That's it.

Can confirm we’re working with the player who designed them to make these. It takes time to create a quality product though, especially when you have other lines.

Avoid buying from e shops that have stolen the idea unless you want a terrible quality hoodie.

The backlash you’ve received is ridiculous. Not many people actually care.

It's hard to gauge - people tend to be a lot louder when they dislike something than when the like something.

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 s...

We are aware of your comments regarding certain 3rd party client features giving players unfair advantages in-game over others, particularly auto-changing prayers and gear. We want to make it clear we classify this as botting. We have and will continue to take action against players we find to be abusing such features in-game.
