Old School Runescape Dev Tracker

I wasn't a fan of the Grotto in the slightest, it was far too small and it felt weird to be there.

I feel like we've achieved something that feels quite natural here, but it's a very good point you raised.

We're not ready to start sharing just yet, but soon I hope!

This is a long one, and I think it's a ton of quality content.

• The usual update on the projects we're working on.
• A peek at the work on the Clans update.
• A follow-up from the March PvP Vision. We confirm that we aren't going to remove PvP Worlds, there's a cool LMS map concept, we talk about a possible solution to the Bounty Hunter issues, and a new area in the Wilderness called Ferox' Enclave.
• Some insight in our efforts to secure a consistent 'Old School' art style.
• Say hello to two new J-Mods!

We are aware and hoping to fix on Friday's update :).

Hi all. A few reasons for the minor changes. It'll be back to normal as of next week!

We wanted to make a number of changes to Darkmeyer content, but we wanted to give ourselves more time to get it tested (and prevent it being released next week instead).

It's a pretty long Gazette and needed more time to get by our Editorial team.

I was due to host the Q&A but I'm feeling rather unwell today. The questions in Mod Acorn's Q&A thread will still be asked on Friday (she's edited the thread text too).

Nope, it's only applications are coffins in the Hallowed Sepulchre and it's main feature to skip doors at barrows.

If you take a screenshot of every lap you do i'm sure Acorn can do it retroactively for you!

We answered this one on a previous livestream but unfortunately there is no way currently to track laps until the update comes in. Any laps done before the update will not count towards the backpacks.

I've asked Mod Ed since he won't be on the livestream and he said "He finished his job and moved on to another." Maybe one day we might see him again!

We'll be live on twitch.tv/oldschoolrs Friday from 4pm BST!

On the virtual livestream we will have the following J-mods:

Mod Sween
Mod Husky
Mod Roq

Thanks for the tag. It’s a tad more complicated as to why that flow does what it does. I’ll admit it is not ideal but at this time we are not able to discuss account security measures.

I will however elaborate as to why the flow displays time played in the games...

We had an issue when we released Old School on mobile that people were recovering their RuneScape account then not understanding why they had an account with no progress when they logged into OS. So we use that as a method to inform people which games the account played and also to help them understand that one account covers two games. We display the time in brackets so it cannot be used as information to recover the account.

Nope!

Congratulations to you both <3

Thanks for the feedback! Here's my thoughts on the points.

1) I don't actually mind this too much, when running through it for hours as a training method all that matters is the average time for each floor and this is only really a hindrance for speedrunners.

1.5) Again, only really an issue for speedrunners, the average result for everyone else should be fairly consistent over any given hour

2) Yeah, I agree and I intend to fix those but I don't believe I'll get that fixed this week as I've had other things to prioritise such as bolt sizes, "scuffed flames" etc.

3) I actually reviewed some of those today and some of them do feel very random in the distance, I fixed some of them so that they at least aren't so swingy. I don't think it's a huge issue though because that also means teleporting back can be not as much of a set back and the real reason to take teleports since the hotfix is the temporary immunity.

4) I agree, I think we were maybe...

Shiba's second link takes you to the Support Centre. Searching something like 'ban' would have sent you to this page: https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002238729-Account-Bans.

At the bottom you're able to appeal the ban. If you were hijacked at the time of the ban then you'll be unbanned!

I would advise you do not share that link publicly - hide it the same way you did your email :) On the plus side always be wary of emails you are not sure are legit!
