I assume that this also includes the updates to gauntlet as well?
Yep. Anything that passed the poll but hasn't yet been released, will be being worked on still.

Why is selp getting nerfed? The learning curve and attention required does not warrant such a low rate over other top agility imo. Its hard to do constant 100% success runs a regular person gets the same xp as ardy probably.
The XP from running through and getting no loot has been slightly reduced but you will see an increase in xp/hr if you are looting and going for marks/rewards.
Also, as stated, those are the benchmark times we decided to balance the XP/HR around and it is absolutely possible to get quicker floor completions (and hence XP/Hr) than we've stated.
Really hope this rolls out smoothly, great job team
Here's hoping. And if not, well, we took the game offline in order to best prepare ourselves for any reactionary action he'll have to take!
No grotesque guardians changes Maybe next week :'(

We've had a lot going on with Darkmeyer and Death so unfortunately it's [Grotesque Guardians changes] not been able to come out as quick as we may have liked.
Rest assured it is coming, eventually. It's not going to be another winter 2017 deal i promise.
Evening all. We'd hoped to publish this earlier, but we were finalising the video (found here: https://youtu.be/Oes0ew4cAoM).
If you have further questions or anything, please do ask away. We'll edit the blog tomorrow with anything that requires more clarification.
I'll reply to what I can, but - I'll be honest - it's getting late here.
Thanks for all the great questions everyone, i'm going to head off now.
Do feel free to reply to any comments I've posted or tag me/message me directly, you can also contact me on twitter if you have any questions you'd think i'd be suitable to answer.

Have a good night everyone! (Or day...wherever you're from)
It'd be great for tob indeed. DCs are sadly unavoidable but I can think of several HCIM (oispa, golden axe, muts) who DCed in ToB while their teammates' connections were fine.
I'm happy that new content like tob and gauntlet is dangerous for hardcores but the risk of a DC make alot of content less enjoyable/viable for HCIM. Theres no perfect solution but what you mentioned would definitely be a nice start :)
On a somewhat related topic, I know you werent too interested in the idea of being able to use the teleport crystal as a 1 click tele in gauntlet but there as well, it just becomes so much less viable to do the content on a HC if you have to right click a door in a chaotic fight like that which is unfortunate. Its essentially the only fight aside from deep wildy bossing where you dont have a 1 click teleport
Again, all this affects very few players so I realize its not a team priority, but it'd be a great update for those few <3
I'm happy to hear that.
I'm not strictly opposed to the crystal acting as a teleport out, once you're in the fight. But i was mostly just thinking if the difference between right click->left click a door vs clicking a teleport is that much harder, considering the door does have a much bigger clickbox than the crystal, too.
It's very possible i'm wrong on that, as i've never experienced the stress of a HCIM, but that was my view on it.
Hello, I have questions regarding the player moderator system.
It is said that the player moderator system is extremely corrupt. Pmod accounts are even allegedly bought and sold in order to mute competing rwt-advertising bots. This has been known for years, so why does the player moderator system still exist?
If, despite this, the player moderator system is to stay, why are there not enough player moderators to mute all the bots that spam in every single world at the grand exchange? When are you going to recruit more player moderators in order to solve this problem?
Account ownership is regularly checked for P-Mods. There might be reports that the P-Mods are bought and sold, but to the best of my knowledge it's not a done thing. And if it does happen, it'll result in a de-modding and possible account ban. The same goes for hijacked P-Mod accounts.
Thanks for the quick reply. Is there anything else from poll 71 that hasn't been implemented yet? Honestly I lost track and thought GGs was the last change left lol
I think there's a handful of small things, but it's mainly the GGS/Gauntlet/Superior monsters that are the remaining "big" things to implement.
Can we repoll Divine spirit shield already? It’s been almost two years since the last repoll and it failed at approx 73%...
It was repolled last February: http://services.runescape.com/m=poll/oldschool/results.ws?id=1552
I'm not saying it'll never be re-polled, but I'm not a big fan of the concept of re-polling annually until it passes. I don't believe that's what you're suggesting, by the way, but it's more about the bigger picture.
Could we get a ring of life that teles you based on interaction with the game client? So if you dont click anything for maybe 5 seconds you get teled to safety.
Would be great for DC deaths for everyone with the new death update and also for HCIM
Not strictly answering your question, because i don't really know if it'd be very feasible (a lot of things to consider) but on a related topic...
There was an idea proposed by a player at some point where you could have the verzik teleport crystal "used" on you, to teleport you out.
This can have systems that set it up before hand, to prevent abuse/trolling. But would effectively serve as a similar purpose, albeit only for Theatre of Blood.
What are your thoughts?
Read moreIn 2017 we saw The Rev Caves were implemented in OSRS. However, with the update a lot of surface Wilderness activity died off over the course of 3 years since its addition. Now, in 2020 - we are faced with a problem that can no longer be ignored. 'Protection Clans' - There are 80+ Worlds alone in OSRS that are designated for players who are literally gold farmers from Countries like Venezuela & Egypt - Both these 'protection clans' & the Players who farm the revs skulled do nothing but RWT the money made from revs, and this has been going since the release of Revs locked inside an enclosed area within the cave. The OSRS Community would like to see these changes made to stop Racketeering caused by these protection clans and the amount of Gold Farming & RWT happening from them.
Question: Revenants inside the 'Rev Cave' need to be moved outside to the surface level of the wilderness where they are to be considered as 'Roving Revs' - These two Spawns would change every 15 Minut...
We are considering whether we might change the Rev Caves. Any possible change will almost certainly be guided by the player designs we're seeing, whether it's roaming Revs or rotation systems etc.There's a lot for us to think about. There doesn't seem to be any consensus as to what the biggest motivation for changing the Caves after nearly three years in-game is.
Here are the types of things that we're considering:
New Minigames or Revamped minigames Like stealing creation Pre Eoc but without the 1.5x xp skilling tools u get?
It's surely possible. We've proto-typ'd Soul Wars, and we'll be offering that to players at some point. There's no reason we couldn't look at other historic minigames.
Is there an ETA on the GGs change? That was the only update I was looking forward to on the poll lol and it's looking like it'll be July before it's implemented.
We've had a lot going on with Darkmeyer and Death so unfortunately it's not been able to come out as quick as we may have liked.
Rest assured it is coming, eventually. It's not going to be another winter 2017 deal i promise.
